CARRIEBOO (Middle East) yo

Due to the current conflict, it may take some time for me to get to Canada. Please only apply of you are willing to wait. Thank you.My name is CARRIEBOO (Bella), and here is a little info about me:Breed: Shepard/Springer Spaniel mixAge: 3 yearsGender: FemaleWeight: 40 kg/88 lbsCountry of Origin: Middle EastHighlight(s): Cuddly, loves attention, fast trusting, playful, gentle giantReady to bond quickly, and there is lots of me to love and cuddle up with. I am your wonderful girl!I used to be a herding dog, but I was abandoned after having a litter of puppies.My past was tough, I was left sick with an infection, hurt, and emotionally traumatized after my puppies were taken away.It took many vet visits, but I've fully regained my health and my spirit. I'm now happy, healthy, and ready for a fresh start!Despite being abused as a young pup, I still crave attention and will trust you faster than you'd expect.Being a playful 'gentle giant,' older children are a better match for me to avoid any accidental bumps during playtime!I bond quickly and have so much love (and fluff) to share.I need a patient home with a yard, ranch, or farm, though a quiet neighborhood house works too! Apartment life isn't for me because noises make me a bit nervous.Three good walks a day and some time to feel safe are all I need to be your most loyal companion.Energy Level: moderateI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unknownKids: yesFears: Sensitive to noises. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training:Leash skills: some. Please be prepared to train me.House trained: No. Please be prepared to help me learn!Health notes:Due to an old myth, the ears and tail were cut off as a puppy. This does not affect daily life or the ability to be a loving companion.I have been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.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.Most passengers from the Middle East now require a fee to accompany a dog on a flight. Due to this, if a rescuer finds a flight with this requirement, we will contact you to see if you are willing to pay the passenger. You are under no obligation to do this. If not, another flight will need to be searched for, though there is no guarantee a free or lower cost one will be found. Though oft times a passenger is requesting higher amounts, the fee will not exceed $300. Our rescuers work extremely hard finding flights and spend tremendous amounts of money caring for and sending these dogs to safety. They simply haven't the extra money to cover this. Thank you for your understanding.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.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 DOGS] *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.
