Critter Details

Good day. My name is KULCH (Kulcheh) and here is a little info about me:Breed: Spitz mixAge: 1-1/2 yrsGender: maleWeight: 8 kgHeight: tbdCountry of origin: Middle EastHighlight(s): eager to please & learn, very trainable, cuddly, funny, playful, intelligent, lively, clingy, curious, obedientAs I am a highly trainable chap who is eager to learn, we should have loads of fun having you teach me things.During the war in the Middle East, it was so scary, bombs were loud, streets full of fear. My family left me. They were scared and ran away from the city and didn't want me anymore. They gave me to a city truck that takes stray dogs away. Usually to a place to kill us.It hurt my heart badly, but good people found me and pulled me away. They gave me food, hugs, and care. Then took me to their shelter, where I am right now. Now I'm healing with kind helpers. War took my family, but I still wag my tail, ready for love again!Always eager to please and quite intelligent, not to mention obedient, that's my modus operandi.I am playful, lively and funny. Let's not forget the cuddles though. I can get a tad clingy, but some play time and some snuggles should do the trick. You'll find I am a curious little thing. Always on the look out for new things to learn about. See how well I balance on the water tub? I'm sure activities there would be enjoyable.A somewhat active family would match well for me. I do good with other dogs and kids, but not so keen on cats. I can hardly wait to start loving on the new people in my life.Would you like to be my family?Energy Level: moderate to highI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: noKids: yesPrey drive: none observed. My adopter should be willing to seek consult if this arises.Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training:Leash skills: some. 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 and microchipped.My adoption fee is $850.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. While our rescuers always seek a flight without a charge, there is the possibility of a passenger fee, not to exceed $300.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.
