Unfortunately, due to regulations introduced 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. Hello. My name is Kallina (Kally) and here is a little info about me: Breed: Terrier mix Age: 11 mo Gender: female Weight: 17 kg Height: 55 cm When I was younger, I was living with a kind man who was financially struggling and didn’t have a permanent place to live. A few months ago, when I was playing outside, a mean driver tried to kill me with his car. He drove over my legs... twice! One of my legs and my pelvis were crushed. I was in so much pain, but my dad didn't have the money to take me to the vet. Instead, he had to give me to a kind man who agreed to pay for my surgery. Surgeons repaired my leg and pelvis using rods. After a long period of treatment, physiotherapy, and a lot of bravery, I am finally able to walk again. Unfortunately, I can never walk and run like I used to, but that hasn’t changed my positive attitude! It would be really helpful if my future family gave me a leg/foot support brace to help me walk and a bootie for protection! I look forward to going on slow, steady walks with my future family (see video.) All the pain in my life has not deterred me from loving people, and even smaller animals! Currently, I live in a house with 21 cats (can you believe it?) I love them, but they are mean to me sometimes. So my foster family has to keep me in a small room most of the time. I really hope to get adopted soon, so I can have a whole house or apartment to explore, a bed to cuddle on, and possibly even a yard! My name, Kallina, means “love and affection,” which you will find is a very apt description of me once you take me home! I love cuddling so much, I hope to find a home where I can get as much affection as I give. If you’re looking for your new best friend and cuddle buddy, look no further. I can’t wait to meet you! I am a very quiet and gentle girl. When I meet new humans, I get so excited and friendly, my tail starts wagging like crazy! My rescuer has described me as a kind and wonderful dog – brave, loyal, easy to train, energetic, and alert! The best possible home is one who is willing to take into account my minor disability and accomodate for it. Maybe one with another animal to be buddies with would be cool. But most especially one that likes to be with me as much as I like to hang out with them.

My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition Training: housebroken Leash skills: no. Please be prepared to train me. House trained: yes. Please be prepared to help me learn where to go in my new home! 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. Health notes: The toes on one of my rear feet rolls under and drags a tad (likely nerve damage) when I move around. It doesn't hold me back though. A foot brace would prove useful. I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

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. 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. show less
