Critter Details

My name is NORMAN (Andre) and here is a little info about me:Breed: Chihuahua MixAge: 3 1/2 years oldGender: Male, neuteredWeight: 14 lbsHeight: 13 inHello everyone! I am from California, where I learned that chasing butterflies is fun, belly rubs are even better, and snacks are life. I’m a rescue pup with a big heart and an even bigger tail wag. I love making new friends (human and doggy alike) and I’m still learning all the good manners that come with being part of a family. My favorite hobbies include: zoomies in the yard, cuddling like a pro, and giving my best puppy-dog eyes whenever treats are near. I’m a bit underweight right now, but I’m working on getting healthier.I’m looking for a forever home where I can bring sunshine, silliness, and snuggles every single day. Could that be with you? I'm eager to learn and would love to have my own family. I’m a smart boy and love to show off my skills! I just arrived to Vancouver and can't wait to meet you. Please adopt me! Energy Level: ModerateI get along with:Dogs: YesCats: UnknowKids: Yes no videosPrey drive: unknown/not observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.Fears: unknown/none observed.Training: basicLeash skills: Please be prepared to train me.House trained: Yes but will need help in a new homeI have been vaccinated, microchiped and neutered. My adoption fee is $850.00 CAD plus applicable taxes.Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.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.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.Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.

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. 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 the dog is shown to be good with children we will approve homes with children 8 years or older.
