Story
Hi, I am NIAGARA (Simba) and here is a bit about me:Breed: Australian Shepard/Shepard mixAge: 2 yrsGender: femaleWeight: 28 kgCountry of origin: Middle EastHighlights: smart, trainable, cuddly, calm, social, friendly
I am quite the cuddly muffin, who loves hugs and kisses. My beautiful white flowing fur is lovely to behold. It is like a wonderful waterfall splashing down my chest, don't you think?I want to share my story with you. I didn’t have the best start to life. I was used in an illegal breeding center where I was treated badly and never shown love or care. One day, they abandoned me on the streets, alone and scared. Things got even worse when city workers, trying to get rid of stray dogs, shot me twice. I was so hurt, but I ran for my life.When rescuers found me, I was bleeding and weak. No one was sure if I would survive, but I’m a survivor who fought my way back to life. With the help of kind volunteers, a wonderful vet, and lots of love and care, I started to heal. Every day, I got a little stronger.Now, I’m healthy, happy, and full of hope. I’ve come such a long way, and I’m ready for the next chapter in my life. All I want is a forever home where I can feel safe, loved, and finally leave my past behind.Smart and trainable is a great combo and that is what I am.We can do all sorts of fun stuff together. I also listen very well, so that is another plus. I am a friendly and social girl. Being a calm pupper lends to a relaxed state of being. Kind of zen, we can chill out together.I promise to give lots of love in return. Will you be the one to give me my happily ever after?

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.
