Hi, my name is SPICE and here is a bit about me:
BREED: Shepard Mix (maybe part Malinois)
AGE: 12 weeks
GENDER: Female
WEIGHT: 18.5 lbs
Country of origin: Mexico
Highlights: smart, clever, snugglebug, friendly
I am a super smart and clever girl.
My siblings and I were rescued along with our mama from a rural fishing village outside Loreto, Mexico, where we were abandoned. A couple of my siblings were entangled in vines and unfortunately one passed away before we were rescued. All 5 of us are still together and love to play with each other and our other 6 foster friends.
I love exploring on my own, but also enjoy playing with my siblings. I have learned how to escape our doggy kennel to go play with the bigger dogs without my siblings being able to follow me.
Though I am the biggest of the litter, I would love to stay a lap dog! I love to snuggle. I don’t need as much sleep as most of my siblings and enjoy exploring and watching the world around me - everything is so new and exciting! Sometimes I have bursts of puppy energy. I crave human interaction and hope that soon I'll get a family of my own that will give me all the love and attention that I deserve. I love sitting on my foster mom’s lap and getting held, but she says soon enough I may be too big for it (I disagree). I play well with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’m a very happy puppy.
ENERGY LEVEL: Moderate
I GET ALONG WITH:
Dogs: Yes
Cats: Unknown
Kids: unknown, rescuer states yes, but no video proof
FEARS: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.
Training: Crate trained
Leash Trained: No. Please be prepared to train me.
House Trained: Close to being house trained. Please help me continue to learn!
Health Issues:
I am too young yet to be spayed/neutered, but I am vaccinated and will be microchipped. Spay/neuter will be the responsibility of the adopter and is required for my adoption to be finalized.
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.
[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 Heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmania and Anaplasmosis.
