RUPERT (local) ky

Hello! My name is Rupert. Here is some information about me:Breed: Dachshund MixAge: 4 years oldGender: MaleWeight: 10 lbsHeight: tbd Meet RupertRupert may only weigh 10 lbs, but his heart is absolutely huge.He was one of 14 dachshunds abandoned together on a dirt patch in California, left with only some food and water and no understanding of where his family had gone. It's the kind of start no dog deserves… and yet, when shelter staff approached, Rupert did something incredible-his tail wagged.Despite everything, he chose trust. Shelter staff describe Rupert as friendly, gentle, and eager for connection. He's the kind of little dog who will quickly become your shadow, following you from room to room, happiest just being near his person. Like many dachshunds, he's deeply loyal, wonderfully expressive, and has that charming mix of curiosity and spunky personality that makes the breed so beloved.He'll likely be your cuddle buddy, your couch companion, and your tiny best friend all rolled into one.On April 26th, Rupert will arrive in Vancouver, ready to leave his past behind and start fresh. What he's dreaming of now is simple-a safe home, a warm lap, and a family who will never let him go.Rupert is ready to love with his whole heart… he's just waiting for someone to love him back.I get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unknownKids: unknownEnergy Level: lowFears/Prey Drive: tbdTraining: some.Leash Skills: some.

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.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 the dog is shown to be good with children we will approve homes with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website. 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 charged the passenger fee in addition to this.[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.
