Story
Greetings. I am MITZI and here is a little info about me:Breed: Prague Rat TerrierAge: 5 yrs (age verification check in progress)Gender: FemaleWeight: 30 lbsHeight: 18 inCountry of origin: Rep of GeorgiaHighlights: Funny, energetic, eager to please, vigilant, smart, insecure, territorial, devoted, fear-reactive, shy
This energetic girl is a true terrier, vigilant and alert! A natural ratter, so rest assured: a mouse problem will never be an issue with this sharp protector around.Due to instability for rescue teams, I have an urgent need to reach a safe, forever home as soon as possible.The rescue story kicked off an entire shelter! Showing up near the beach, too little to be alone, likely separated from summer tourists. Right after being hit by a car while chasing traffic, rescue came quickly. An injured leg required immediate vet care. Though no owner was found, I became the inaugural saved dog that launched the entire rescue shelter!Don't worry, the injured leg is perfectly healed now, and this girl is at the epitome of health! Sporting the most adorable smile, showing off pearly whites is a favorite pastime.Enjoying interesting foods like eggs, sardines, cheese, and chicken is a must. Also, I can be pretty funny at times!This little terrier is quite smart and eager to please, but quirks do exist. Being rather shy and insecure still, this leads to a bit of "yappy" protection barking when strangers enter "my" person's room. The feeling is, once a home of my own and built confidence are established, this will diminish entirely.Getting cold easily means loving to be covered up—it's so nice and comforting! Enjoying snacks and toys is a given, so hope the new human likes to play and share goodies! A few fears require help overcoming: big dogs (street trauma), leashes, and quick movements. If willing to assist in overcoming these small hurdles, the reward will be a most devoted dog and lifelong companion!
Energy Level: Moderate- highI get along with:Dogs: YesCats: UnsureKids: Unsure, rescuer states likely, but no video proof
Fears: Big dogs, leashes, sudden movements. Please be patient with me during my transition.Training:Leash training: No. Please be prepared to help slowly train me.House trained: Yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home.
Health notes:I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.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.
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.
