Critter Details

I will be arriving to Vancouver in Mid SeptHello all. My name is DULCE and here is a little info about me:Breed: Pitbull TerrierAge: 1 1/2 yearGender: femaleWeight: 56 lbsCountry of origin: MexicoHighlight(s): Loyal, affectionate, super gentle, sweet, curious, intelligentMmmm… sweet, yummy, creamy goodness. If that is how you like your Dulce ice cream, then you'll love me too. I am a treat just as amazing.My rescuers received a call to take me from a local home. I was extremely skinny and malnourished. From the first day, I have been super gentle, sweet & loving. They took me to the vet and ran blood tests on me to ensure my state of health. Then they nursed me back to health and my best physique you see now.I have never shown any aggression toward anyone – human, dog, cat (in fact, I interacted well with them around the ranch, though no videos of this yet) or other animals. I am just a real sweetie pie. I am truly very gentle and affectionate. My rescuers take me on long walks, as they have leash trained me pretty well. I am a curious girl and always up for learning about things. Given my intellect, I bet I could learn a lot. I lived in a home for a few months so know about waiting to go potty. It has been a little while, so a refresher about it would be good.If you are waiting for a loyal companion to hang out by your side, then now is the time to jump at the opportunity. I'm awaiting your shout.Extra vids: https://youtu.be/VX8hzYSl9qc, https://youtu.be/l7vgiV-0szI.Energy Level: moderateI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unknown, rescuer states yes, but no video proof yetKids: unknown, rescuer states yes, but no video proof yetFears: none observed.

Please help me learn where to go in my new home!Health notes:I have been spayed/neutered & vaccinated and LAL will pay for my microchip after arrival.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. 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.
