Story
Hi, I am POOKIE (Cookie) and here is a bit about me:Breed: Pekingese-Spitz mixAge: 2 yearsGender: MaleWeight: 8 kgCountry of origin: Middle EastHighlights: eager to please, learn & train, cuddly, funny, playful, intelligent, curious, obedient
I’m a pup who is always ready for fun and happy to be with those who care about me.My life didn’t start out easy. I was kept in an illegal breeding center, and people there were very rough with me. Because of all that, I was really scared when I first arrived at a new place. I would hide and stay away from everyone for the first few days. But, as I started to feel safe, I realized I actually love being around dogs and people. I lost one of my eyes during the hard times, but that doesn’t stop me. I still love to grab toys and play whenever I can.At first, I lived in a foster home with small dogs, and I loved playing with them. Now, I’m in a foster home with some big dogs, and they’re great playmates too! Even after everything I’ve been through, I still have a positive outlook on life.I am quite eager to please & learn, which should make training much easier. Being the intelligent & obedient boy I am will help things move along that much quicker and smoother. You'll find I am playful, curious and can be quite the funny comic at times. I'm a pup with a lively personality.That's not to day I don't have my soft side, as I can be very cuddly too. Maybe sometimes I might be a bit clingy, but once I build more confidence in my new environment, that should ease. I can be a bit shy at first, but once I feel safe, I enjoy being with everyone.If you’re looking for a loyal friend who’s survived the darkest nights and still believes in brighter days, I’m here, waiting for you.

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.
