Critter Details

Urgency is now part of my story, as a new law in my country means our refuge can no longer stay open. Finding a home as soon as possible is essential for my friends and me, and I’m hoping my funny, sociable spirit is exactly what you’ve been looking for!Greetings everyone. My name is NOONA (Luna) and here is info about me:Breed: Labrador Retriever mixAge: 2 – 1/2 yrsGender: femaleWeight: 34 lbsHeight: 23 inchesCountry of origin: Republic of GeorgiaHighlights: Intelligent, funny, sociable, affectionate, responsive, sometimes timidBeing a Labrador, I love playing in the water. So, life on the west coast zhould auit me well.Born on a dog refuge. My 8 year old mama was pregnant when she was rescued. I am the smallest pup of the litter. My sister, Savory is also posted. My other sister, Eileen just found a home recently.I tend to be a bit insecure around the bigger, boisterous dogs here at the refuge. I will play outside with others, if my mama or a human is within sight. I'd do fine with a sibling, as long as they don't bully me and are my size or smaller. I am a fast learner. Once I understand what is wanted, I am very obedient.At six months old, I broke my back leg and it needed pins put in it. It's now mended, but I favor it on cold or rainy days. I tend to “sploot” (sits or lies down with my legs splayed), as many labbies seem to do. I receive a chewable calcium and joint supplement chews to maintain my bone health.As you will note here, my leg is doing fine. Interactive games like fetching and hiding squeaky tennis balls are things I enjoy. Additionally, I like squeaky toys, snack sticks and dog biscuits.Me & my mama:  https://youtube.com/shorts/Z6QrWBRSeUAhttps://youtube.com/shorts/Z6QrWBRSeUA.ENERGY LEVEL: moderateI GET ALONG WITH:Dogs: YesCats: unknown (probably not though)Kids: unknown (Rescuer states yes, but no video)FEARS: Big dogs.

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.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.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.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.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.[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 receive 4D SNAP tests – which include: Heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmania and Anaplasmosis.
