Critter Details

Greetings, my name is Debbie and here is a bit of info about me:Breed: Pitbull mixAge:  2 1/2 yearsGender:   FemaleWeight:  50 lbsHeight: 20 inchesCountry of Origin: US, New MexicoHighlights: Curious, intelligent, cautious, loving, affectionate, playfulUPDATE: My rescuers have stated I am in a foster home with my sister now and it is really helping to boost my confidence level. I am learning lofe is joyful, not scary.I am coming out of my shell and curious about things going on about me. Hoping we can have some fun times together enjoying what life has in store for us.As my story goes, I was surrendered pregnant to the Roswell shelter by a man on 4/3/25 and gave birth to three puppies the next day. My sister was also surrendered the same day as me. We both ended up being pulled by another rescue, but in very different ways. I and my three puppies were immediately taken into a foster home. The shelter only gives dogs 14 days for adoption, and so my sis was scheduled to be killed. Thankfully my foster parents agreed to take her at the last minute too and so she came to their house on the 18th.Unfortunately, I lost all three of my babies to Distemper, something my rescuers think I never got over. Since that time though, I have made huge strides in becoming less shut down. At my foster's house, I have started playing with other dogs, something I love! I seem more comfortable with people, especially men. On 8/9, I was moved to new a new foster home to see if that would help more (it has!) My family has lovingly taken to calling me Ebbie. Heehee.I am relaxed around both my new parents and will lay on the couch with either of them, although I can still hide from them too. I am absolutely 100% fine with their two dogs, as well as my own sister. While still extremely cautious around people, especially during times of transition, i.e., when people are moving around, once I get settled in with my new family, that should peter off, as I realize I am home forever.Being leash trained, I enjoy walks with my sister and one or both of my foster siblings.  I can get distracted by other dogs out walking, but not aggressive or bark-y while on leash. Just a spirited walker.Housetraining? No problem. I've had no accidents, even with the Elizabethan cone after spaying.  Mastering the dog door came very quickly on the same day I arrived. While it is a bit early yet, my fosters say I appear quite trainable and smart too.Energy Level: ModerateI get along with:Dogs: yes.Cats: Unknown (Previous foster reports yes, but no vid.)Kids: yes.Fears: Nothing specific observed. Still extremely cautious around people during times of change. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training: VERY early stages of sit and come.Leash skills: Yes. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: Yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home.Health notes:I have been spayed/neutered & vaccinated. Not yet microchipped, but will be prior to adoption. 4DX testing.My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation close to the Border of Canada and the US.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.
