Critter Details

Cuckoo Cuckoo. It's CUCKOO time, me. Here is some info about me:Havanes Poodle MixAge: 3 yearsGender: maleWeight: 12 kgHeight: tbdCountry of origin: Middle EastHighlights: gentle, friendly, well-behaved, calm, affectionateRise and shine, it's your friendly neighborhood Cuckoo clock alarm.My early life was spent confined on a rooftop inside a fenced area. I was left alone exposed to the elements whether sun or rain. I survived on leftover food that was occasionally thrown to me. One day, a kind neighbor noticed my situation and tried to talk to the owners, but they showed no concern. They said they planned to sell ne or use me for breeding. The neighbor recorded videos and took photos, which were shared with rescuers. Thanks to all their efforts and insistence, I was purchased from that family and finally sabed from that wretched existence.Since then, I have proven to be a polite, loving, and well-behaved boy with no behavioral issues. I am just waiting for a family to truly love me.I am a gentle and calm pup. It is my desire to be able to snuggle up with you, as I am an affectionate boy.Cuckoo, cuckoo. I can let you know when it is time to go for a walk, when it is time to eat or play… ok well, I can't cuckoo, but I can arf arf. Of course, you will have to teach me to tell time first. You'll find I am a good student though.I would love to have a family to hold me and show me about the big, wide world of Canadian fun.  Time's a ticking.

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.
