DIEGO (local) kt

Hoooowdeeeee. I'm Diego and here is some info about me:Breed: Terrier/Catahoula mixAge: 4 yrsGender: MaleWeight: 50 lbsHeight: 23 inchesCountry of origin: MexicoHighlights: Silly, smart, loving, playful, obedient, affectionateUpdate: I've made it to Vancouver with my sister Morning Glory (aka Nova)!! Ready for my forever home!Both smart and obedient, I bring you a great combo of traits for your future buddy.Life began safely at a shelter in Mexico, after my mama was rescued from the streets while pregnant with my siblings and me. My sis, Morning Glory (aka Nova) is also posted.Being an outdoor enthusiast, my enjoyment would entail daily walks and new adventures. Once done with walking or playjng, I am perfectly content to just lay around the house soaking up the vibes of peace and love.I am very sweet and affectionate and love hugs and kisses.While a bit shy at first, I warm up in no time. I am a funny, easy-going boy who loves to play with other dogs.Not having spent much time around many kids yet, my puppy-like nature suggests I'd probably do just fine with children.Cats, on the other hand... well, they're a bit scary! Even though dogs aren't 'supposed' to be afraid of them, steering clear is my go-to move whenever we cross paths on walks.Perhaps with a proper, slow introduction, living with one could work out?Recently, when my rescuer saved a kitty, I didn't bother it at all while it sat in its crate on the porch, so there's definitely hope!If you are eager for a co-pilot for your life's enjoyments, I will be right by your side every step of the way.Energy Level: moderateI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unknown, some time spent living with one w/o any issuesKids: unknown, rescuer states likely, though no video proofPrey drive: moderate towards small critters, like lizards, birds, rodents and such.Fears: fireworks & thunder. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training:Leash skills: mostly. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: Yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home.Crate Trained: Yes. Though hoping for minimal to non-existent crate time.Health notes:I have been spayed/neutered, 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.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.
