Story
Hello everyone! I am a marvelous 8.5 year old, 50 lb probably Shar Pei/ Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. But there are other breeds in me as well as I am smaller than either of those breeds If you are looking for a medium size dog who is sweet and loving, cuddly, athletic and playful, then I am your girl.
I am originally from Turkey, where I was found on the streets of Istanbul before being taken to a shelter. I was named Banu, which is Persian for “lady” because I am very refined and lady-like.
When I first came to Canada I went to live on a farm, but it turned out the rabbits and chickens were a little too much temptation for me so my family reluctantly decided I needed to find a home free of small animals. I haven’t lived with cats but it is expected that my prey drive will make it unlikely I can live with them.
I have lived with numerous other dogs, and I am proud to say that I got along well in a dog-pack and enjoyed the large yard, rambles in nature, and the company of other dogs. Given my size, it might be best if the other dog(s) in the home are in the medium to large category. But I am just as happy to be your only one and have all your attention for myself.
In 2021, I underwent successful entropian eye surgery. My eyelashes were growing inward toward my eyeballs! Thankfully, the operation was a success and I healed perfectly.
I am a quiet and sedate girl when hanging out at home. But when it comes time to play outside, I will pounce and leap and sprint and even rock climb. I am quite the adventurer. My greatest joy is having an opportunity to enjoy off-leash hikes where I can follow animal scents and bound up and down hill, while my humans slowly plod along. So an active home where I can get a couple of daily walks and a couple of hikes a week is best for me. A large fenced yard where we can have playtime together is also important for me as I love spending time outside sniffing and checking out the squirrels.
Once I’ve had my outdoor time, I am happy to spend long hours napping, preferably cuddled up to a warm human. I enjoy being close and snuggling, often resting my head on whatever part of you makes a convenient cushion. I am a perfect, low maintenance companion for someone who wants a warm, quiet and non-demanding companion.
I am great with dogs, even ones I meet on walks who aren't so friendly. If I get snapped at by another dog I just back away, understanding they aren't interested in making friends.
I have lived with a child and I truly love to spend time with those small creatures. I am fairly defensive of my own home so if I am outside at home I need to be on a leash as I could otherwise try to defend my humans from what I think is a dangerous dog passing by.
Like most dogs I don’t like my feet touched but unlike most dogs, I don’t like my belly rubbed. I am very happy when you rub my head and back, however. I just LOVE human attention and affection!
Everyone who meets me falls immediately in love with my gentle calm and friendly manner. I will give perfect strangers a kiss on the face. I am well suited to just about any home.
I have been spayed, vaccinated & micro-chipped and my adoption fee is $650 + tax
