Story
My name is Koko and here is a little info about me:Breed: Terrier mixAge: 3 YearsGender: maleWeight: 12 kg/26lbsCountry of origin: Middle EastHighlight(s): sweet, playful, gentle, friendly, calm
Once upon a time, life wasn’t very kind. A small balcony in southern Tehran was the only world I knew. The person who was supposed to care for me didn’t like me much. The balcony was cold in winter, hot in summer, and sometimes hands that should have been gentle were not. I remember barking and crying, hoping someone would hear.
One day, kind voices finally did. Neighbors had been listening to my cries, and soon some rescuers came. They spoke softly, and for the first time, I felt safe. They had to buy my freedom, because no one could stop my person from hurting me. It didn’t matter how — I was free.
After that, everything changed. I met a new family who took me home. There were warm beds, tasty treats, and long walks. For two whole years, I was loved. I thought I had finally found forever. Then one day, everything changed again. The lady of the house was having a baby, and her mother said I couldn’t stay. Just like that, I was sent back.
At first, I didn’t understand. I waited by the door, hoping someone would come back for me. But time — and gentle hands — helped me heal. Slowly, my tail started wagging again, and my heart opened up to the world once more.
These days, life feels brighter. I’m gentle and calm around women, friendly with men and kids, and I get along well with other dogs. Cats? Haven’t met one yet, so the jury’s still out on that! I’m not a chewer, I don’t guard my toys or food, and I only bark when there’s a loud noise or a stray dog nearby.
Car rides make me happy — windows down, nose out, the world flying by! I’m comfortable traveling in a crate, even on flights . Sometimes, I get a little sad when my people leave, but that’s only because love runs deep
Now, at three years old and about 12 kilos, I’m ready for a new beginning. My dream is simple: a forever home filled with kindness, patience, and love. Someone to walk with, nap beside, and never say goodbye again. I’ve been waiting for that kind of love — the forever kind.

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.
