About ABIGAIL (Mid East, yo) Tripaw
Unfortunately, due to recently introduced regulations by the CDC, dogs from the Middle East can no longer be imported into the US. Therefore, this dog is only available to Canadian residents.
Hi everyone. My name is ABIGAIL and here is a little info about me:
Breed: Anatolian Shepherd
Age: 9 months
Gender: female
Weight: 20 kg
Height: 70 cm
Rescued when I was just 10 days old from an addict. He was keeping me in a dark and dingy bathroom. When they saved me, they noticed that one of my legs was broken. No one knows what happened, but they are assuming that it had something to do with the addict that was keeping me. I like to say he was keeping me hostage, because that is what it felt like. My leg unfortunately could not be saved and they had to amputate it.
However, that missing a leg has not hindered me from living a normal life. Though the early days of my life were not so bright, I am currently living the sweet life with a wonderful foster family.
I am hoping that when I move to Canada, I will be able to get a prosthetic, which will help me run around and play easier. Because I sure like to play! I also enjoy getting cuddles from my human. I absolutely love those! I basically have all the good traits that dogs have and then some! I would make a great addition to any family! I am good with kitties too, that's an added plus.
Energy level: moderate
I get along with:
Dogs: yes
Cats: yes
Kids: most likely yes, no video proof yet, but I am super sweet and gentle
Prey drive: none observed, but adopter needs to be willing to train me should these behaviors arise.
Fears: none observed, I have been brought up to have high self-esteem.
Training: some, I know my name very well. I also know the word “no”. I’ve got to say though, it’s not my favorite word!
Leash training: not so much. Please be prepared to train me.
Housetrained: I am housetrained, but I sometimes have accidents inside the house yet. Please help me learn where to go in my new home.
Health notes: My front leg is amputated.
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 fight 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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 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.
[MID-EAST DOGS] *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.
