Story
Hi, I’m Freesia
Breed: Minature PoodleAge: 7 Months Gender: Female Weight: 11 lbs Highlight(s): Good with other dogs, affectionate, cuddly
When I was just a puppy, I was kept in a storage room and meant for a life that didn’t have much love in it. But everything changed when kind people stepped in and gave me a second chance. Now I’m in a foster home, and I’m finally learning how wonderful life can be.
I’m a super affectionate and cuddly girl. I love people—like, really love them! I’m not shy with strangers at all… in fact, I might roll over and show you my belly within minutes (belly rubs are my favorite thing ever ). I live with a young kid right now, and he’s my best friend. I’m gentle, loving, and happiest when I’m close to my humans.
Other dogs are still a bit confusing for me. Since I didn’t get to meet many when I was younger, I can feel unsure—especially around bigger dogs. I’m not interested in playing with them much yet, and I’d much rather spend my time with people.
I haven’t met any cats so far, so I’m not sure how I feel about them yet.
I’m still very much a puppy at heart—full of energy and curiosity! Sitting still for too long isn’t really my thing During walks, I get excited and sometimes distracted. If I feel overwhelmed, I might even plop down and refuse to move for a bit. Sudden noises or fast movements can startle me, but I’m getting braver every day with regular walks and gentle guidance.
Here are a few more things about me:
About 90% housetrained
No aggression or resource guarding
Rarely bark
No escape tendencies
Comfortable in a crate or soft carrier
Can stay home alone for extended periods without anxiety
I’m a sweet, resilient girl who just wants to love and be loved. With a little patience and a lot of cuddles, I’ll blossom into the most loyal companion you could ask for.
Could I be your forever friend?
Energy Level: Moderate. I enjoy outdoor activities and like to rest/calm at home after walks.
I get along with:Dogs: yesCats: UnsureKids: yes
Fears: Unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Leash skills: Yes. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: 90%. Please be prepared to help me learn where to go in my new home.
Health notes: I will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
My adoption fee is $850.00 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.
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.
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.
