Critter Details

I should be coming to Canada soon.Greetings and Salutations. I'm Oliver and here's some info about me:Breed: Tibetan Spaniel/Border Collie mixAge: 1 – 1/2 yrsGender: maleWeight: 14 lbHeight: just under 9 inchesCountry of origin: Mid-EastHighlights: intelligent, sweet, adaptable, social, playfulI'm a regular Oliver Twist, I am. I can adjust to most any living situation I encounter.After my owner got married, I was given up to a shelter. Someone adopted me, but then turned around and sold me shortly thereafter. Since then, I had been traded several times… just because I am of the popular small type breeds in the Middle East. A kind lady finally rescued me, cared for my needs and is trying to help me find my forever home.I am an intelligent loving dog. Sweet and devoted to my owners. I will adapt well to life in the city or in the countryside. You'll find I am quite social and enjoy having my human family around me.I am playful and get on well with the children in the home where I currently live. Also, I do well with other dogs. My rescuer says I am indifferent about cats, but there are no videos to show my interactions or lack thereof. I would also make an excellent pet for an adult home too.Energy Level: moderateI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unknown. Rescuer states no reaction, but no video proofKids: unknown. Living with children now, but no video proofFears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training:Leash skills: yes. 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. 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.[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 Heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmania and Anaplasmosis.
