Story
Hiya. I am ORINDA (Luna) and here is some info about me:Breed: Basenji/Australian Cattledog mixAge: 6 yrsGender: femaleWeight: 50 lbsHeight: 17 inchesCountry of origin: MexicoHighlight(s): smart, loyal, protective, stubborn, loving Being a loving dog, I like to hang out and lavish you with love and vice versa. Grin.Rescued from the streets of Mexico, I had just given birth to 4 pups. Thankfully, our rescuers found us. One of my daughters, Estrella is also posted.I like to play for a short while - then I'm done and ready to chill. Though I am a bit overweight and definitely need some more exercise.With other dogs in public, I get along great. My loyalty runs deep at home though. I can be protective of my family and home when it comes to strangers or new dogs. So proper intro is key. After that, all good. Likely best as an only or with a dog who is not interested in being the # 1 head honcho. It will be important to have a strong parental figure to teach me guidelines and boundaries, since I like to be more in charge.Being very smart, I can learn pretty quickly, but I can also be stubborn at times. So short training sessions may be most beneficial.I am also quite food oriented, which could lend to learning tricks well. Speaking of food motivation... I know it is a bad habit, but I will steal food if it is left unattended. So please, some good parenting skills to provide me opportunities for success by not setting me up in such a situation.I do have some small critter prey drive, so no cats, chickens, lizards, rodents, etc... please. And a silly habit I have is nibbling on my blankets, sheets, towels in my crate. Little pieces will show up in my stool. This may be due to the many dogs and changes that have occured with our living situation. It is likely to calm once in a stable, less chaotic environment.Though I have been around kids just fine in the past, I've had no recent interactions. Probably better no smaller kids though, so I won't try stealing food from them. I am house trained, but could use some leash work. I also know how to use a crate, if needed.If you'd be interested in a compatriot to join you in some fun activities and then hang out with you on the couch watching a movie, I'm yer girl. Energy Level: moderate-lowI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: noKids: unknown Fears: a bit of fireworks and thunder/lightning. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training: crate trainedLeash skills: a bit. Please be prepared to train me.House trained: Yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home. Health notes:I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.My adoption fee is $750.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver. Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue. Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you. Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website. The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live. While most dogs find escorting passengers flying directly to Vancouver, some will find flights through Toronto or  Montreal. In that case, additional fees will apply to fly your dog to Vancouver by cargo. Unaccompanied cargo costs within Canada range from $350 - $550 depending on the size of the dog. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs. You will NOT be asked to pay a passenger fee on top of the cargo fee. [MID-EAST] *Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza. Bordetella is not given, as that has not been a problem in the Middle East.[TURKEY] Dogs from Turkey receive a 4D SNAP test to include Leishmania, Heartworm, Ehrlichia, & Anaplasma, as well as Giardia, Parvo, Corona & Distemper. ##2694939##

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to Vancouver & Toronto💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet White🤍 💙 News & Updates: @_adogs_ ​1⃣ Health Status * ​Neutered: Yes. ​* Microchipped, and heartworm Negative. ​* Has received professional dental scaling, but due to severe staining, his teeth may not appear perfectly white. One or two canines are slightly chipped, but since the nerves are not damaged, no immediate treatment is required. ​2⃣ Rescue Story * ​White was rescued from the Juksan dog meat farm. He endured the trauma of witnessing his friends being slaughtered before his eyes until Adogs successfully shut down the farm and brought him to safety. ​3⃣ Personality & Traits * ​Interaction with People: Is a bit shy and tends to cautiously avoid strangers. However, he can be won over with treats! While he stays close to those he knows, he still gets a bit "flighty" when someone reaches out to touch him. If gently cornered, he accepts touch well, and familiar faces can pet him anywhere without issue. Though not yet overtly affectionate, he is slowly opening his heart. We believe he will bond quickly once he settles into a consistent home environment. * ​Interaction with Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs. He isn't the type to rush up to new dogs, but plays and runs around happily with his familiar furry friends. * ​Interaction with Cats: Not yet tested. * ​Separation Anxiety: Unknown, as he currently lives in a group setting at the center. * ​House Training: Currently only relieves himself outdoors at the center. * ​Grooming: Might try to run away when it's time for maintenance, but once you catch him, he is very well-behaved during petting and brushing. * ​Walking: Is still getting used to leash walks and can be a bit nervous. We recommend walking in quiet, familiar areas. Doesn't pull on the leash, but may "freeze" or resist moving if he encounters something scary. Needs patient, consistent practice. * ​Car Rides: Travels well without any motion sickness. * ​Mouthiness/Biting: Has never shown any defensive or territorial biting. * ​Barking: Rarely barks, though he sometimes joins in when other dogs bark at visitors. * ​Likes: Loves treats! His motivation for food often helps him overcome his fear of people. * ​Dislikes: Is wary and fearful of strangers, vehicles, and unfamiliar external stimuli.
