Story
Hello! I’m Dice, and I’d love to share a bit about my story:
Breed: Anatolian Shepherd mixAge: Around 4 years oldGender: MaleWeight: Approx. 21 kg
Country of origin: LebanonHighlight(s): Friendly, calm, gentle, resilient
I’m a gentle boy with a big heart who faced pain and struggle, yet I still believe in people and love unconditionally.
I was found surviving on the streets alongside my best friend, Raven. My body was covered in mange, and the constant itching left me in pain and exhausted. Still, I stayed close to my friend, finding comfort in not being alone. A kind human noticed our suffering and took us to the vet. Even while we continued living on the streets, we were given the treatment and care we desperately needed. After I finally healed, I was brought to a boarding facility, where I remain today — safe, but still waiting, with hope in my heart, for the forever home I’ve never known.
I’m a very friendly, gentle, and calm boy who loves being around people and sharing affection. With other dogs, I sometimes like to take the lead, but I am never aggressive and would never hurt anyone — I just want to belong and feel safe.
I would flourish in a loving, patient home where my humans truly understand my past and can shower me with kindness, stability, and all the love I’ve been waiting for.
Energy Level: Moderate
I get along with:Dogs: Yes (can be dominant, but not aggressive)Cats: UnknownKids: Yes
Fears: None observed so far. Please be patient while I adjust to my new life and environment.
Training: No, but I am eager to continue learning with guidance and consistency.Leash skills: Some — please be prepared to continue my training.House trained: No — please help me learn where to go in my new home.
Health notes: Previously treated for mange — fully healed.
I have been 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.
