Greetings. My name is SUGAR and here is info about me:
BREED: Hound/Shepard mix
AGE: 16 weeks
GENDER: Female
WEIGHT: 13-1/2 lbs
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Mexico
HIGHLIGHTS: goofy, happy, playful, active
Siblings: Sauce, Spice, Pepper, Squish
Hoping you are looking for a bit of sugar throughout your life. I'll keep things sweet in your world. Car rides, playing, let's get movin'.
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. I was caught by my front paw and had to have a few toes removed.
All 5 of us are still together and love to play with each other and our other 6 foster friends. I can walk and run, but I am still healing and sometimes it hurts. The doctors tell me that I should be good to live a full life as soon as I fully heal. Nothing is gonna hold me back. I'm ready for the world.
I am the goofy and adorable runt of the litter. Not sure if I am the runt, because of my injury or just because that’s how I was when I was born. I want to do everything my siblings do, but sometimes have a hard time catching up to them. Sometimes they tease me because of my injury, but I don’t let it affect me.
I stay super happy and playful. I do tire more easily, because it takes so much more effort for me to run around, but I just go into the crate by myself and take a nap. My humans love to hold me, which is great for a couple of minutes, but then I feel like I am missing out on the run and want to get down.
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 to my new home.
Training: Crate trained
Leash Trained? No. Please be prepared to train me.
House Trained? In process. Please help me complete learning.
Health Issues: Amputated toes on front paw. Currently restricts some mobility while it is healing.
I am too young yet to be spayed/neutered, but I am vaccinated and 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.
