JOSIE (UAE) lf

My story

Hey, hey. My name is JOSIE and here is a little info about me:Breed: Ibizian Hound/Canaan Dog mixAge: 5 monthsGender: femaleWeight: 7 kgHeight: tbdCountry of origin: UAEHighlight(s): happy, playful, active, friendly I love everyone—people, other dogs, cats and squeaky toys—you name it! I’m the kind of pup who will run straight into your arms and then do a happy wiggle dance just because I’m excited to see you.Rescued from the streets of the United Arab Emirates, my mama, Jacqueline (also posted) was struggling to survive in a workshop in the industrial area. Cold, coated in machinery oil, and clinging to life, she had just two days earlier given birth beneath a semi truck. She was doing everything she could to shield us newborns from a world that had never shown her kindness. She was starving, shivering and purely in survival mode. Ten tiny lives depended on her. She tried to protect us, didn’t sleep— just prayed for morning and tried to find food. And then, finally… help came. They took mama and all us babies from the cruel and lonely streets for a second chance. Seven of us survived, sadly two of my siblings passed away. We are all beautiful and sweet just like our mama. Finding homes in my country is hard. 2 of my siblings have found homes, the rest of us are waiting.Though the smallest of my brothers and sisters, don’t let my size fool you—I’m fast, playful, and always ready for action. Zoomies? Nailed it. Toy chases? I’m a pro. Oh, and have you seen my ears? They do their own thing… one up, one down, sometimes both sideways, they are fabulous ears just like my mom’s.As a puppy, I am still learning to perfect house training, but as I stay right now with 4 other pups it is hard at times. Once I have my own home, it will pick it up quickly, just like my two siblings who found homes. Also, I do need work on leash training, but I am clever and will master it.If you’re looking for a sweet little girl with silly ears and a whole lot of love to give... I think we’re meant to meet. Energy Level: moderate - highI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unknown, rescuer states yes, but no videoKids: unknown, likely, as I am a puppy yet, no video proof Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training:Leash skills: no. Please be prepared to train me.House trained: in progress. Please help me learn! Health notes:I am too young yet to be spayed/neutered, but I am vaccinated & microchipped. Spay/neuter will be the responsibility of the adopter and is required for my adoption to be finalized.My adoption fee is $800.00 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. 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. ##2437053##
