Bonded pair with my daughter Noona - we need to be adopted together!
I'm a sweet senior lady who loves nothing more than a game of hide-and-seek with my favorite ball and spending time with my beloved daughter Noona.
My previous life wasn't easy. I spent most of my time outdoors in all weather conditions, even during the harshest winters. My former owners would take me hunting, but otherwise mostly ignored me, often leaving me chained up by a warehouse or out in apartment hallways.
I was used for breeding purposes and was never given enough food to eat, which is why I can sometimes overeat now. I was pregnant when I was rescued, and that's how I came to have my precious daughter Noona.
Despite my difficult past, I've blossomed into a happy, loving dog who knows how to find joy in life's simple pleasures. My daughter Noona and I must be adopted together as a bonded pair. We're very close, and we become anxious when separated from each other. While this means you'll be getting two dogs, you'll also be getting twice the love! When I'm not playing games, you'll find me contentedly chewing on knotted bones, enjoying crunchy snacks (not too many snacks please though, as I need to retain my girlish figure - yes, I am a bit tubby right now and need to lose some weight), or taking luxurious naps in a big, soft dog bed - these simple pleasures make me one happy girl!
I'm a gentle soul with a quiet and obedient nature. I'm very responsive to commands, but can be sensitive - even routine activities like coat brushing can make me a bit nervous. I'm not competitive with other dogs and prefer a peaceful environment.
The bond between Noona and me is incredibly special - when she recently went to the vet without me, I was beside myself with worry. She feels the same way about me. She even needed time to build up the courage to go on walks without me by her side. This is why we're looking for a home that will keep us together - we're truly a package deal!

A loving home that will take both me and my daughter Noona would indeed be special. We're inseparable, and she depends on me for security and confidence. A calm, patient family who understands senior dogs would be perfect for us.

Our adoption fee together is $1350.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes our transportation to Canada, if we are 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.
