SAVORY (Rep of Georgia) kt

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!Good day. My name is SAVORY (Sadie) and here is info about me:Breed: Labrador Retriever mixAge: 3 yearsGender: FemaleWeight: 54 lbsHeight: 24 - 1/2 inCountry of origin: Republic of GeorgiaHighlights: sociable, intelligent, dominant, strong, funny, fast learner, activeI like to be petted, cuddled and can "shake hands" with my paw. I'll gaze into your eyes and it seems I really want to understand.Born on a dog refuge, my 8-year-old mama was pregnant when she was rescued. I was the first to be born in the litter, and am thus a bit larger than the rest of my siblings. My sister, Noona is also posted.My life has been a sheltered one living on the compound. I am shy, sweet, affectionate, very obedient, loyal, protective, relaxed, and can be sociable. However, I sometimes get bullied by the other dogs, despite my size.The love of playing games is in my genes as a lab, especially "fetch", but I rarely bark.I ccary around a comfort toy - an elephant plushy with a squeaker in it- and loved to communicate with it by squeaking it. Recently, one of the other dogs tore it apart, and I was heart-broken, so they are looking for a new one for me.Being a fast learner, once I understand what is wanted, I am very compliant.You'll find I am a good sleeper and will sleep through the night (We are put to bed at sundown.) I also like to take a nap after meals.I love being near my humans, but am okay on her own too.Things I enjoy: walks and interactive games (like fetch) and of course, (being a Labrador) love playing in water.As far as foods…I am not a picky eater. I'll eat anything you serve me. I currently get kibble mixed with extra protein: shredded boiled chicken, hamburger, eggs (cooked or raw), sardines, cottage cheese, as well as veggies (canned or cooked frozen corn, peas, carrots, etc…) and lentils, pasta, etc. I love cheese, but only get a little at a time. I enjoy having dog cookies in my bed as a bed-time snack. I also like to gnaw on bones, dried cow/sheep ears and other dried animal by-products. I like any kind of treats like jerky snack sticks, too.Watch me in action!

Please be patient with me while I make the transition to my new home.Training:Leash training: Yes. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: Yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new homeHealth Notes:I have been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. I am also titer tested.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.
