Due to current travel restrictions there may be a long delay before I can get to you. Please only apply for me if you are willing to wait. APPLE (Angel) Breed: Galgo (Spanish Greyhound)/Lab Age: 2 yrs Gender: Fe, spayed Wgt/Hgt: 70 lbs / 26 inches Activity level: medium-high Relations: good with dogs & children / unknown cats Highlights: great with kids, highly intelligent, persevering, separation anxiety, escape artist, loves being around people Region: Middle East Confined spaces and locked doors, these are common obstacles for any canine. Today, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the one dog that has broken those barriers through intelligence. From far lands, also called the Middle East, I give you Appledini... I’d like to start with a question, has anybody ever been locked or left alone behind a closed door? I bet the answer is yes, unpleasant situation. I’ve had my own share of bad experiences, but being in a confined space or a locked room for a long time isn’t one of them. I’ve become a master of the art of escaping any place at which I might be left alone, and using a key to open doors is also part of my repertoire. Now you might be wondering how is it possible a dog can develop such amazing abilities. It’s a part of my mystery… well… in fact, they’re the result of the difficult things I’ve had to go through. I’ve experienced horrifying things from being abused by a drug addict who hurt me with a heated stick (hence the marks on my skin) to almost being strangled to death by insane men who wanted to hang me. Fortunately, the amazing abilities I acquired to get away from danger and of course with the help of my wonderful assistants, whom some people call rescuers, have helped me stay alive up to this day. And I love magic, but despite being a popular escape artist, I dislike being left alone. I live for the audience, so I have a very bad time when I’m not surrounded by people. Separation anxiety, I’ve heard it’s called. Even in my darkest times, there have always been humans around to help me; maybe that’s why I don’t like being by myself nor confined. I’d be the happiest if I lived in a home with a loving family. However, since there are no foster parents for dogs my size in these lands, I’m currently living in a kennel facility and I hate it. It makes me so stressed that the so-called anxiety isn’t getting any better, and it has started to also mess with my wizardry. So would you help me? I'd probably do best with a yard, so I can play and burn off energy. I’m good with dogs and great with kids, they make just the perfect assistants. They saved me from strangulation twice, how could I not love them? Although the shelter says I am the leader (alpha) of the group of dogs I am with, they say I am quite compassionate. That's part of my magic, tadaa... being there for you. All you have to do to be a part of the most amazing show you’ll ever find is to prepare yourself to be amazed! https://youtu.be/EVm283SN5Mc. You’ll witness my talents front row, and I’ll turn your life into an enthralling experience. https://youtu.be/FiwIIPTNJ4Y. It’ll be full of affection and fun from day one, and I’ll use all my abilities and perseverance to bring magic and love to my new home in Canada. You have my word. I bet I would make a seriously good trick dog, if you wanted to go for those titles with me. Maybe we could do shows for folks. https://youtu.be/iP1Sbw_6e1g. I may even teach you a trick or two to escape from work when it gets too busy, how does that sound? https://youtu.be/KKvLoxYocB8. We can have some great playtime outside instead. Trust me, your life will never have a boring moment again, I’ll make sure of that. Just say the magic words, click on the magical “adopt" button… and adopt me! I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $550.00 CAD + applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada. Due to the ever-changing extenuating circumstances brought on by the Global Pandemic, we are struggling to transport dogs to Canada. Please note that additional fees may apply (beyond the adoption fee) in order to get your dog to you. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs and will ask for your approval before any travel arrangements are made, so that you may opt in if you choose. The following are some examples of potential additional costs, though there are numerous variables,so these are estimates. USA/Canada border transfer (via a Brokerage Company): $470 for 1 dog, $275/dog if 2 dogs are transported at the same time. Unaccompanied Cargo costs within Canada: $250-$500 per dog Unaccompanied Cargo costs overseas: $1,500-$3,000 per dog 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. 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. More information can be found on our website. *Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza. Bordatella is not given, as that has not been a problem in the Middle East. show less
