Hi! My name is Wendy and here is a bit about me:Breed: Staffordshire Terrier MixAge: 5 monthsGender: FemaleWeight: 20 lbsCountry of origin: MexicoHighlights: Cute little talker, Professional couch snuggler, Backyard sunbather, Total doggy party animalHello there, future family! I am a sweet, playful girl with a big heart, just waiting to shower my chosen people with endless love and snuggles.My rescuer found out about me and my littermates. We were dumped and abandoned in a garbage near a park in Mexico at only 6 weeks old. Another rescue agreed to help. Sadly, when she went to pick us all up for them, I was the only one left around. So they have no idea where my siblings went. A nice neighborhood lady kept me safe meanwhile. Check out my ever so cute photo & video when rescued.I get along amazingly well with dogs of all sizes and love having pup companions to play with all day long. New people and sudden loud noises might feel a bit spooky for me at first, but once I warm up to my human and doggy crew, my inner party animal comes right out!Quite the chatty puppy with a built-in talk button, expressing needs comes naturally!Whether dinner is running late, legs are a bit too short to hop onto the bed, or a dog brother steals a favorite bone, a polite little bark lets mom know some help is needed.Dogs, Big, small, I love them all! Cats are still an unknown for me, though running away from squirrels in the yard shows I am more of a fraidy-cat than a hunter, so we could likely be friends!Since fast movements and sudden sounds can make me retreat to a quiet corner or under a chair, older and calmer kids would be the absolute best fit for me. Daily routines are a breeze thanks to a smart and eager-to-please nature. Crate time is super easy, pottying outside happens on command, and harness walks down quiet streets are already a favorite pastime. Though if it gets too noisy or crowded, I’ll just freeze and watch until the coast is clear.Currently hanging out in Toronto, hoping to get to Vancouver, where a sweet foster can help build up my confidence even more.My ideal day includes zooming around the backyard, playing fetch, sunbathing with other pups, and finishing up with full-body couch snuggles for movie night.Energy Level: ModerateI get along with:Dogs: YesCats: Unknown, being a puppy yet, highly likelyKids: unknown, since I am a puppy still, probablyFears: Strangers and sudden loud noises. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training:Leash skills: Yes. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: Yes.

My rescuer has stated she will have me fixed before arriving in Vancouver.My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. It is humbly requested that you assist with a donation for my transportation to Vancouver from Toronto. Thank you.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.
