Hi. My name is Tootsa (Tsutsa) and here is a little info about me: Breed: Whippet/Pointer mix Age: 1 year old Gender: Female Weight: 18 kg Height: 58 cm Highlight(s): easy going, energetic, likes watching TV You are interested in an easy going, fun-loving pup, right? Tah-daaa, here I am, peek-a-boo: https://youtu.be/-ktFU5dTToU. Found in the streets of Georgia (country) when I was around 5 months old, I didn't know anything a dog should know. I was exhausted, starving and full of inner parasites. I was afraid of dogs, cats, birds and people, but have improved a lot. I still get startled back a bit with fear, if you wave your hand up in front of me. Who knows what terrors I endured as a puppy on the street. Once my rescuer first touched and started petting me though, I was so happy. It broke her heart when I grabbed her hand with my front paws. I did not want her to stop or go away. I had no clue about how to walk on a leash or house rules, but I was ready for any food. I haven't a lick of aggressivness in me and will never cause conflict, but if another dog comes aggressively barking, I will bark back. I am an observant pup: https://youtu.be/Mbr3QKGTCEE, https://youtu.be/QaSHM5QgHB0. Soon I started to adapt and learned everything very fast. Now I'm very good with dogs and extremely gentle with kids. I adore cuddles, love to play in the park and heehee, to chase after birds. I am sweet and funny. I loooove watching Animal Planet, my fav. Bit also cartoons snd even sports. I'm pretty rounded in culture. Haha. I will make a wonderful companion for long walks or hiking: https://youtu.be/10vQW9XTcdU. Staying close is not a problem once I bond. I have good recall when you call me too. Of course, I will have to learn my new people and home before going off leash. A home with kids & dogs would suit me well. A large family is great. Having a yard to run around in would be the ultimate for burning off my energy! Energy Level: Moderate-high I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown Kids: yes Fears: playground swings, aggressive dogs not on leash on their own, waving your hand in front of me. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: House training, leash work, commands (come, sit & paw.) Leash skills: some. I may pull from time to time, so it will be good to continue training. House training: Yes. Please be prepared to help me learn where to go in my new home. I do my biz outside twice a day, only in a grassy area – never on pavement. Health notes: minor allergy (cough on occasion) With proper medication (when needed and not permanently) - it is easy fix. I have been spayed/neutered, 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. 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. show less
