Story
Greetings. SIMA here. Below is a bit of info about me:Breed: German Shepherd/Saluki mixGender: FemaleAge: 2 years 7 moWeight: 26 kgHeight: ~ 58 cmCountry of origin: Middle EastHighlights: Intelligent, sweet, well-mannered, affectionate, gentle, calm
I have a calm presence that melts hearts.My life didn't start as a dog's should. I was just a tiny puppy when my rescuer found me, completely alone in an abandoned, desolate area—no people, no food, no water. I was surrounded by big stray dogs, and I still remember how my little body trembled from fear and exhaustion. I don’t know how long I had been out there, but I was desperately thirsty, painfully hungry, and utterly hopeless. My rescuer knew seeing me that I had been through more than most creatures could handle. She gently picked me up and brought me to safety. That was the beginning of a new chapter of life for me. She had me in a private area for a while, then I went to the shelter later.I have now grown from a frightened pup into the most gentle, affectionate, and graceful soul. I get along beautifully with other dogs and children. Also great on a leash and fully house-trained, I might add. Yup, I am quite intelligent, as well as well-mannered, so I am good at learning.You can see my eyes are soft and warm. Don't you just love my elegant, graceful appearance too?Please, don’t let my story end in waiting. After surviving such a harsh and loveless start, a pupper like me truly deserves a home where I can feel safe, valued, and loved every single day, don't you think? But best of all, I will be able to bestow all the love built up in me on you.

Health notes:I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. While our rescuers always seek a flight without a charge, there is the possibility of a passenger fee, not to exceed $300.
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.
