Story
PLEASE HELP. Turkey is voting in an amendment on street dogs. Once passed, within two years, there will be no street dogs in Turkey. We will be collected up and placed in shelters, where we will remain for the rest of our life, unless we are adopted. Turkey shelters are crowded, disease ridden, with no vaccination programs. This is the future I face, if I am unable to find a home.
My name is TEKYLA (Toffee) and here is a little info about me:Breed: Anatolian Shepard mixAge: 9 mo (0724)Gender: feWeight: 23 kgHeight: 63 cmCountry of origin: TurkeyHighlight(s): cautious, sociable, affectionate, gentle, kisser
I love the company of humans and am very affectionate and gentle. I give the best cuddles. I go up on my back legs and wrap my front legs around your waist - then will shower you with kisses.
In November 2023, I was found abandoned in the forest, at only 6 weeks old. I was with my 6 siblings (1 of whom was already dead). My rescuers moved me and my siblings to a garden park.In January 2024, me and my siblings started to show signs of becoming ill, distemper was diagnosed and another one of my siblings died. I successfully fought the disease, undergoing eight weeks of immune boosting treatment. In March, the volunteers arrived to find me looking very poorly and another of my siblings, dead in the pen. The vet diagnosed we had eaten something toxic. My x-ray showed that I also had a blockage. I remained at the vets for a few days of treatment and eventually passed the blockage. Only a few days after returning back to the park, me and my siblings became ill again – this time parvo was diagnosed, and we all spent about a week at the vets having intensive treatment. Once again recovering.I returned again to the park in March and quite quickly, I started to show signs that I was uncomfortable sharing a pen with my litter mates. I was separated until I was spayed.Once recovered, I was allowed to spend time “free running” in the forest with my siblings and some of the older dogs that have lived in the forest for many years. After a week or so, it was felt that I had settled into my life and was released to join the others.Only a few days after being released full time however, I had a few incidents with my siblings - initiating fights, and sustaining a wound, which became infected. As a result, I was penned on my own. What a miserable existence with no canine company and human volunteers only visiting for a short period of time, once a day.Initially, I take a while to “warm up". I am cautious/nervous of people I am not familiar with and also new things. Once I get to know you though, I am the most beautifully friendly girl. Sociable with humans and other dogs. I have never had an incident or issue with the older dogs at the park, I enjoy playing with them and spending time with them. The only issue seems to be sibling rivalry. My rescuers are confident I could live happily with older dogs, of any size, but likely would not tolerate sharing my space with a dog of the same age. I should have no problem sharing my space with a younger dog/puppy, as I love the ones here. Currently, I am excitable when I first greet you, but that’s purely due to the fact I am penned alone, desperate for some company and have a lot of energy to burn off. Once I have a routine at home, I should settle down though. Us Anatolians are generally pretty mellow most of the time, with burst energy. I am obedient and just want to please. You'll see I am a very clever girl and enjoy all my training sessions.You'll find I am a very pretty girl, with an unusually “wavy” coat. With an uncertain future ahead, I am hoping to get to Canada. My safety and my life depend upon it.
Videos comjng soon.

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.
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.
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 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.
