Hello, My name is DALTON and here is a little info about me:
Breed: dachshund/Terrier mix
Age: 3 years old
Gender: Male, neutered
Weight: 18 lbs
Height: 13 in
Meet Dalton, a resilient and affectionate soul whose journey began on the streets of the Middle East. Despite his challenging start, this sweet boy's spirit remains unbroken, and his loving heart is ready to find his forever family.
When our rescue team first found Dalton, he was a hungry, thin pup desperately searching for care. But even then, his gentle nature and trust in humans shone through. Now in foster care, Dalton's true personality has blossomed – he's a joy-filled, tail-wagging companion who lives to share his endless supply of kisses and cuddles.
This energetic boy has so much love to give! He greets every person like a long-lost friend, his tail wagging with pure delight. While he gets along wonderfully with other dogs, he prefers a cat-free home where he can be his playful self. After a good walk or play session, Dalton transforms into the perfect cuddle buddy, ready to snuggle up for movie time with his humans.
Dalton is house-trained and eager to learn – he just needs a patient family to help him adjust to his new home. His moderate to high energy makes him an ideal partner for active families or individuals who enjoy outdoor adventures followed by cozy evenings at home.
Your love could be the final chapter in Dalton's journey from the streets to a forever home. He can fly to Vancouver once he finds his perfect match. Could you be the one to give this sweet boy the lifelong love and security he deserves?"
Energy Level: Moderate/High
I get along with:
Dogs: Yes
Cats: Unknown
Kids: Yes (with video proof)
Prey drive: unknown/not observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.
Fears: unknown/none observed.
Training: basic
Leash skills: Please be prepared to train me.
House trained: Yes but please be prepared to help me in a new home.
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.
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.
Due to the present confrontational Middle East environment where this dog resides, airlines are minimally operating. He/She may therefore be delayed in arriving to Canada. He/She will eventually be sent, but we have no specified timeframe at this moment. If you are willing to wait, we and this dog appreciate your patience.
Most passengers from the Middle East now require a fee to accompany a dog on a flight. Due to this, if a rescuer finds a flight with this requirement, we will contact you to see if you are willing to pay the passenger. You are under no obligation to do this. If not, another flight will need to be searched for, though there is no guarantee a free or lower cost one will be found. Though oft times a passenger is requesting higher amounts, the fee will not exceed $250. Our rescuers work extremely hard finding flights and spend tremendous amounts of money caring for and sending these dogs to safety. They simply haven't the extra money to cover this. Thank you for your understanding.
Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue. 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.

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.
Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if the dog is shown to be good with children we will approve homes with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
[MID EAST DOGS] *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.
