Story
Hi there! My name is Chico. I may be small, but my heart is huge! Here is a little info about me:
Breed: Shih Tzu / MalteseAge: 9 monthsGender: MaleSize: 5 kgHeight: tbdCountry of origin: Middle EastHighlights: playful, intelligent, calm, affectionate
Life didn’t start easy for me — I was born in a barn, and sadly, my mom and siblings didn’t make it. But one kind human rescued me from that place and gave me a second chance at life. Since then, I’ve been living in a boarding facility with other dogs, learning to play, share, and love while waiting patiently for my forever home.
A little more about me:
Neutered, healthy, and full of energy.
Potty-trained — I go outside and sometimes use a pad indoors.
Walks nicely on a leash and enjoys car rides.
I get along wonderfully with everyone — women, men, kids, dogs (big and small), and even cats!
I don’t chew things I shouldn’t, and I’m not overly barky.
I’m used to traveling in a crate and don’t have separation anxiety.
I’m sweet, social, and always smiling — a cheerful little companion who’ll brighten every day.
Could you be the one to give me the happy ending I’ve been waiting for?
Energy Level: High puppy energy

Health notes:I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.My adoption fee is $850.00 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.
