Good with dogs,
Story
Hello! My name is Maple, and here is a little information about me:
Breed: Belgian Malinois MixAge: 5 years oldGender: FemaleWeight: 22 kgCountry of origin: LebanonHighlights: Sweet, gentle, affectionate, friendly, and resilient.
My name is Maple, and I may walk with a limp, but my heart is overflowing with love! I'm a gentle, affectionate girl who believes that the best things in life are warm hugs, loving hands, and someone to call my own.
My story began in May 2022, when a kind young woman found me wandering the streets of Lebanon. I was painfully thin, practically skin and bones, frightened, and struggling to walk. Something was terribly wrong with my left leg, and sometimes the pain was so bad that I crawled instead of walking.
Although I was finally safe, the difficulties of my past had left their mark. I continued to struggle with a limp, which veterinarians suspect may be related to an old spinal injury or nerve compression.
But here's something you should know about me: my body may carry the scars of my past, but my heart never stopped loving.
I've been waiting for my forever family ever since, hoping that one day someone will look beyond my limp and see the loving girl I truly am.
I absolutely adore attention and being close to people. Cuddles and hugs are among my favourite things, and I have a very special way of showing my appreciation: lots of gentle kisses and affectionate licks!
My ideal home would be with a patient, compassionate family who understands that I have some physical limitations because of my old injury.
Energy Level: Moderate
I GET ALONG WITH:
Dogs: Yes.
Cats: Unknown.
Kids: Yes. Waiting for vids
Fears: Not noticed.
Leash skills: Some. Please be prepared to continue leash training.
House trained: No. I've been living in a shelter, so I may need some patience and guidance learning where to go in my new home.
HEALTH NOTES : I have a persistent limp believed to be the result of an old trauma or injury. Veterinarians have suspected the following conditions:
Cauda Equina Syndrome (L7–S1). Intervertebral disc or spinal compression. I have been spayed, Vaccinated, and Microchiped.
My adoption fee is $750 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. 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.
