Story
Greetings everyone. My name is ZAHARA, and here is a little info about me:Breed: Viszla/Dachshund mixAge: 3 yrsGender: femaleWeight: 28 lbsCountry of origin: MexicoHighlight(s): Energetic, Daring, Outgoing, Brave
Gang way, here I come. Looking for fun times and lovely living in Canada.Given away by my original owner (a travel nurse who had to relocate), life took a difficult turn.The next home wasn’t kind; being tied down day and night without enough food left me malnourished and eventually dumped at a local marketplace.
Thankfully, a shop vendor contacted the rescue staff two years ago.Now fully recovered, the past is behind me and a bright future in a new sanctuary is all that matters.High energy makes me a great activity companion, especially for an outdoorsy lifestyle.Having a good nose and running super fast, I’d love to go on hikes in the Pacific Northwest.
Whether it’s scent work, agility, flyball, tracking, or Frisbee, any sport we can do together sounds like a dream.Perhaps a runner needs a friend to pace them, or a swimmer wants a paddling buddy? Let's find what suits us and go for it!Being an outgoing girlie means doing well in a social circle.Tremendous leadership skills have even been noted by my rescuer, as I’m often the one used to introduce new dogs to the ranch.
How’s that for all-around experience?
An active family is my biggest hope. Preferably with a yard, though it isn't a requirement if there are enough outdoor adventures.Getting along with other dogs is easy for me. According to my rescuer, interacting with kitties and kids around the ranch has gone well, too (though no videos exist yet).
Having lived in a home for a few months, the concept of waiting to go potty is familiar, but a refresher in a new environment would be helpful.
Videos coming soon!
Energy Level: highI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unknown, rescuer states yes, but no video proof yetKids: unknown, rescuer states yes, but no video proof yet
Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training:Leash skills: yes. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home!
Health notes:I have been spayed, vaccinated, and LALDR will pay for my microchip after arrival.My adoption fee is $800.00 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.
