Critter Details

Hiya sweet world. My name is MAVI and here is info about me:Breed: Hound (Turkish Kopay mix)Age: 4 years oldGender: MaleWeight: 38 lbsCountry of origin: TurkeyHighlights: Calm, gentle, affectionate, sensitive, shyWhile I am an extremely calm pup, I am also timid by nature.Not a lot is known about my past. My rescuers pulled me from the shelter. I was in rough condition. My eyes needed treatment, but the infection/inflammation is healed now. I am mostly blind, though can perceive light. It is thought a bout of Leishmania may have been what caused my eye issues. I am doing great now though and am showing up negative for the disease.I am an ever so sweet and loving boy with a soft and naïve nature. You'll find me social, and very good company once I feel safe. I am a sensitive soul, but improving with love and routine. I bond well with my people. I am also quite well-mannered.You may be surprised, but I can do stairs, once I learn where they are. I travel well in a car too. Hoping I can be your sweet, loving boy.Energy Level: Low to moderateI get along withDogs: YesCats: unknown. (rescuer states yes, but no video proof)Kids: unknown.

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.
