Story
Hi there! My name is SHIRLEY and here is a little info about me.Breed: Brittany Spaniel/Harrier mixAge: 2 - 1/2 yrsGender: femaleCountry of Origin: Republic of GeorgiaHeight: 21 inchesWeight: 35 lbHighlights: Playful, smart, affectionate, docile, resilient.
Gentle, fun, and radiating love, that’s the best way to describe me! Possessing a unique, elegant look and a heart full of hope, I can’t wait to find a best friend of my very own to share my life with.
Life began in the middle of a terrifying storm at a remote Black Sea beach campsite.Rescued as a tiny 2-month-old pup alongside my mama and eight siblings, we faced a hard battle with parvovirus in isolation.
While it's heartbreaking that most of my siblings didn’t make it, the round-the-clock care from kind humans saved my life.
After a full recovery and seeing my mama off to her forever home, I’ve been waiting patiently for my turn to be cherished.
Playfulness and intelligence are my two best traits! I’m a social butterfly who loves making friends, though my small size and docile nature make me a bit vulnerable.
Because I’ve been picked on by bigger dogs at the refuge, I have a natural fear of large dogs and would feel safest in a home where I can feel protected.
Whether it’s running with toys or enjoying dog cookies, I find joy in the little things.
Loving, gentle humans who enjoy a mix of outdoor adventures and cozy cuddles would be my perfect match.
An extra special dream would be finding a home with my brother, Snoopie, as we make life twice as fun together! A home without large dogs would be ideal to help me feel confident. Since I’m a moderate-to-high energy girl, I’m looking for a family ready to continue my leash training and share many happy snacks with me.
Energy level: moderate/highI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unknown, but rescuer says probably noKids: unknown, but rescuer says probably yes
Fears: Big dogs. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training:Leash training: In progress. Please be prepared to continue training me.House trained: Yes. Please show me where to go in my new home.
Health notes:Due to the stress of Sanctuary life and competition with larger dogs, I sometimes engage in coprophagia (eating stool), which can lead to temporary diarrhea.This behavior is often stress-linked and typically improves significantly in a calm, stable home environment where I feel safe.
I have been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.My adoption fee is $800.00 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.
