Story
Hi there! My name is Vero, and I have quite a tale to tell.
Breed: Jindo/American Staffordshire Terrier MixAge: 6 yearsGender: Female Weight: 42 lb Height: 19 inchesHighlight(s): Friendly,Good with other dogs, rarely barks, no escape tendency
I started my journey roaming the countryside until I found myself in a city pound in August 2019, reported as a stray. For five long years, I waited for someone to take me home, but no one came for me.
I may look like a mix with American Staffordshire Terrier, but who knows for sure since my parents are a mystery. I am a friendly soul, not shy around strangers, whether they are men or women.
In my current foster home, I live with three other dogs. One of them can be annoying, but I am tolerant and used to sharing my space with them. I love meeting new dogs at the park and enjoy play chasing with them.
When I see a cat during our walks, my curiosity peaks, but I've never been allowed to get too close. I have a moderate energy level, enjoying outdoor activities and then relaxing at home. I am calm and composed indoors.
On walks, I may pull on the leash initially, but I improve with time. I am confident and unafraid of urban surroundings. Exploring excites me, and you can see the joy on my face. I love to run and be active.
I can easily hop into a crate when it's time to ride in a car. I have a gentle nature and haven't shown any signs of aggression. There are no issues with resource guarding, separation anxiety, or escape tendencies. I am crate-trained, house-trained, and do not get carsick.
I rarely bark and I am ready to find my forever home, filled with love and adventures. Will you be the one to give me that chance?
Energy Level: Moderate - enjoys outdoor activities

Health notes: I have been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. I have a deformed toe on my right front paw, but that doesn't slow me down.
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.
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.
