My name is Pinda, and here is a little info about me:Breed: German Shepherd MixAge: 4 years old Gender: FemaleWeight: 20 kgCountry of Origin: LebanonHighlights: Shy, sweet, playful, affectionate, loves cuddles, and friendly with people.Hi there! I'm Pinda, a happy, loving girl with a big heart. Once I get to know you, I'll happily snuggle up beside you and remind you just how wonderful life can be with a loyal best friend.In May 2022, when I was only about one month old, I was found all alone on the streets of Lebanon. I was far too young to survive on my own, so my kind rescuers took me in, kept me safe, and gave me all the love and care I needed to grow into the beautiful girl I am today. Thanks to them, I now have a second chance at finding my forever family.I'm a friendly, sweet, and playful girl who loves spending time with people. I can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once I know I'm safe, my affectionate side comes out and I absolutely love cuddling. I'm the kind of dog who enjoys both playtime and quiet moments with my favorite humans.Energy Level: ModerateI get along with:Dogs: YesCats: UnknownKids: YesFears:I may be a little reserved around strangers at first, so I'll need a patient family who will give me the time and reassurance I need to settle into my new home.Training:I'm eager to learn and would love a family who will continue my training using positive reinforcement.Leash Skills: Some. Please continue helping me build my confidence and leash manners.House Trained: No. Please help me learn where to go in my new home.Health Notes:I have been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.My adoption fee is $750.00 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.
