Hello to all my fans. My name is REMY and here is a little info about me:Breed: Labrador Retriever/Anatolian Shepard mixAge: 1 yearGender: maleWeight: 22 kgCountry of origin: Middle EastHighlights: smart, affectionate, social, loyal, sweet, playfulI am super photogenic and love to pose with my beautiful eyes for the camera.It was a bitter, winter morning when my rescuer's friend, who owns a small shop near her home, arrived to open for the day. Something unusual caught her eye — a small door mat left at the doorstep. And on it, a tiny puppy, me, curled up tight trying to keep warm against the cold.I was alone, shivering, too young to understand why the world had already let me down.Like a child left behind, I had been abandoned—quietly, anonymously, without a trace of care.My rescuer came to pick me up. She had gentle arms and soft words. I went to a temporary shelter where there were a couple other wayward souls waiting. Now, I have food, water and a piece of hope every day.As any puppy, I love to play. Though I am young yet, I have already learned how to walk well on leash. Pretty impressive, hunh? Well, let me tell you, I am an intelligent boy. That will make me pretty easy to train.Oh, I should mention, I am also very affectionate. I get along with other dogs quite well. People are on my list of joyous things. Children are fun to be around too. Since I live at a shelter, I have not yet learned housetraining, but I know I will pick it up fast. Most all of us rescues seem to grasp it readily. I'm no longer that helpless pup on a mat. I've grown into a sweet, smart, and playful boy.I walk proudly on a leash & listen to music like it’s magic and I've already told you about my anazing gaze into the camera. Movie dog in the making.I should be able to adapt to most homes. I just need adequate exercise, a place to lay my head on your lap, treats and lotsa love. I'm the loyal type, so hope you are ready for a buddy for life.Energy Level: moderateI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unknownKids: yesFears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training:Leash skills: no. Please be prepared to train me.House trained: no. Please help me learn!Health notes:I am too young yet to be spayed/neutered, but I am vaccinated and microchipped. Spay/neuter will be the responsibility of the adopter and is required for my adoption to be finalized.My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. While our rescuers always seek a flight without a charge, there is the possibility of a passenger fee, not to exceed $300. 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.
