I really need a home asap, as my rescuers need to leave the country, due to new foreigner regulations implemented there.Pst! Over here. I'm TOODLES and here is a bit of info about me:Breed: Lab/Golden Retriever mix (Austrian Pinscher/Russo-European Laika) Neither listed in the database.Age: 5 yrsGender: FemaleWeight: 47 lbsHeight: 22 inchesCountry of origin: Republic of GeorgiaHighlights: Gentle, quiet, sweet, loyal, and ready for true peace.A sweet girl ready for the comfort of a forever home. Though the classic golden coat wasn't in the cards for me, the loyal Retriever spirit is carried deep within.My journey began at a landfill near a forest close to a city in Georgia, where I was found in severe pain with a severed tail and broken teeth. Throughout that struggle, my bonded half-sister, Brynda (also posted), never left my side.While I seem to have a bit of sibling rivalry with my sis, we've each began to blossom on our own. I have gradually been gaining confidence and socialize some with the other rescues on the compound.Naturally quiet and passive, I can be wary of new faces or dominant dogs. At the refuge, you'll usually find me on the sidelines. It takes a little while to feel comfortable and safe with other dogs. Once trust is earned, gentle encouragement is all I need to move confidently around the house. I'm a low-maintenance companion who doesn't demand long walks. I thoroughly enjoy getting tummy rubs. I often spend my days outside, lying in the sun or roaming the fields and sleep inside, apart from the other dogs.Typical of the Laika breed, I am docile, timid and passive. I am also intelligent andcurious. (FUN FACT: Due to these traits, a Laika was the first animal to be launched into space on the Soviet Sputnik 2 in 1957!) I am not at all aggressive, but may need time to come out of her shell.I just want a peaceful home with a non-dominant dog who won't push me around.Completely adjusted to life without a tail, my little stump wiggles with pure joy whenever I'm happy, showing deep loyalty to the patient family who chooses me.Bonus info. LOVES: Any kind of food, especially chicken & pasta. I like to eat away from others. I love to collect toys and hide them in my bed. Additional vids:

Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: Yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home.Health notes: my tail is missing (a stump remains).I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.My adoption fee is $750 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.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] *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 receive 4D SNAP tests - which include: Heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmania and Anaplasmosis.
