About A FOSTER Dog Application

This is the application that you should use if you are looking to apply to foster a dog AND ARE NOT planning to adopt. 

Foster homes are one of the most important parts of any dog rescue. Without these homes, we wouldn't be able to rescue as many dogs as we do. 

Our greatest need is for foster volunteers who have dog experience. We often have foster dogs that require some kind of behavioural training, or have medical needs, so if you have experience in either of these areas please apply now.

  • Fostering is agreeing to take a dog into your home, temporarily, while the rescue is receiving and reviewing applications for adoption.  

What does it cost?

  • As a foster home, we can provide you with food, collar, leash. We will also cover any vet bills, but please speak to your foster coordinator before taking the dog to the vet unless its an emergency

What if I can only foster a small dog?

  • We will work with the limitations of our foster homes. If you are asked to foster a dog that is too big, please just let us know and we will look for another home. We are always looking for foster homes that can accomodate big dogs.

What if I only want to foster a puppy?

  • Puppies are usually very easy to adopt and often don't need fostering. Please consider an older dog that could be even more fun!

What if I want to adopt?

  • If your intent is to adopt a dog, you will need to submit an adoption application for review. 

I only want to foster a specific dog.

  • If you want a specific dog and only that dog, we recommend that you apply to adopt. International dogs are not normally available for fostering as we try to only bring them here if an approved adopter has been found.

We really need more experienced foster homes and appreciate you reading this posting. I hope that you consider opening your heart and your home to help a dog in need. The love and care that you can provide for even a short period, will make a huge difference in the life of a dog.

Regards

Foster Team

SAYHEY (Turkey) yo. arrvg Dec. 13

Say hey hey. My name is SAYHEY (Sihay) and here is a little info about me: Breed: Lab mix Age: 1 year Gender: female Weight: 19 kg Height: tbd Highlight(s): friendly, loooves people, cuddler Say Hey, here I am, a girl so full of life... active, friendly and I love, love, love people. So my story is a bit sad, my family abandoned me a short time ago in a village in Turkey. I don’t understand why they abandoned me, since I am so pretty and a good girl. Possibly because inflation is so bad here and my previous family no longer had the have money to feed me. A few days ago (july), I was feeling very afraid, because some large male dogs were following me. Thankfully a loving human found me and took me to the vet for med assessment and spaying. Glad I can’t have babies anymore, since they probably would have starved, taken to a shelter infested with diseases or killed by bad people. A few days after the operation this human left me where she found me and gave me some food and water, but I found out where she lives and I am now hanging around that area. My rescuer gives me water and food. I am not allowed inside her garden, I don’t like that, but I understand because she already has so many dogs. I am allowed on the front porch at night for safety. At first my rescuer was angry that I was following her home, but I think she now understands that I am afraid of being by myself. I have nowhere else to go, so she told me she was going to try and help me. I always follow my human and her dogs when they go for walks and I love playing with one specifically. She is now my best friend and we run and run together. It’s funny because I am so much faster than her and she can’t catch me.  https://youtu.be/6NbI7_zNEI0, https://youtu.be/kF1Daoew1As, https://youtu.be/kF1Daoew1As. Still sad that I was abandoned, but my rescuer told me that she can bring me to Canada in December, if she finds someone that can adopt me... please, please help me, I hear people are very nice in Canada and they won’t hurt me. Did you know, my name means black in my language? Go figure, hunh? Hahaa. I am a sweet, svelte pup with long elegant legs and I LOVE cuddles. My teeth are white and perfect. There is construction around and I am afraid of someone trying to hit me with a car. I'm intelligent and try to steer clear. Please help me. An active home might suit me well. One with lots of snuggles. Energy Level: moderate to moderate high I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown Kids: unknown Fears: Construction traffic. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: none Leash skills: no. Please be prepared to train me. House trained: No. Please be prepared to help me learn! Health notes: 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.

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.

Hiya folks. My name is SHADE and here is a little info about me: Breed: Husky mix Age: 2 years Gender: Male Weight: 62 lbs Height tbd Highlights: very intelligent, friendly, sweet, loyal Smart, smart, very smart, really smart, super smart, smart smart... did I get enough in? Did you catch the hint, I am a very smart guy. Bet I coulld take on most any challenge you present. Found hiding under a car in one of the most dangerous parts in Lebanon, I was really scared. Kids were throwing rocks at me. My rescuers spoke with people in the area and nobody knows how I got there. They were told anytime I came too close to a house, I would get shot at to scare me off. I'm lucky to have escaped with my life. Thanks to my rescuers who couldn't think of leaving me. My rescuers took me to a foster home, as it is just not safe being on the streets in my country... if you are a dog anyway. Turns out, I am a really friendly guy. Sweet and loyal to the core. I look forward to showing off my aptitude for learning things. Maybe we could do some dog sports or trick stuff. Hoping for a home who can engage my brain power. Some outdoor fun and some indoor skills, not to mention nap time. A boy has to keep his brain in tip top shape, ya know. Waiting for your call. Energy level: moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown Kids: unknown, rescuer states yes, but no video proof Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.

Hi, my name us Shanti. Breed: Lab/Canaan dog mix Age: 3 yrs Gender: female Weight: 25 kg I was found when I was a little puppy with three of my siblings by a busy highway. My rescuer suspects city contractors killed my mother! I have had a pretty sad start in life but I’m hoping to turn that around soon! I have been living at the shelter since I’ve been found so I have not experienced living in a home with a loving family but I’m sure I will fit right in when I get to Canada! Energy Level: Moderate I get along with: Dogs: Yes for sure  Cats: I like them but never lived with them so not sure how I react  Kids: I love all sizes of humans but never lived with kids before I am a bit scared of strangers but once I know them and trust them I get a long with them. I am happy girl who loves to cuddle right close to my humans. I do not have any type of training but I am a fast learner and once I settle in my new home I will be on speed to learn everything!

Hello everyone! My name is Sia and here is a little info about me: Breed: Spitz mix Age: 1.5 years Gender: Female, spayed     Weight:13 lb Height: 10 inch  Highlight(s): Good with other dogs, people I was abandoned as a puppy. I was hungry, thirsty and very scared. I was one of the lucky pups as there are so many amazing pups like myself that never get a second chance in life. I have been living at the shelter with my rescue mom and many other rescued furry friends of mine. Event hough I 1.5 years old, I act like a puppy. I’m very active and playful. But don’t worry, I am very well behaved, I love people of all ages and I prefer humans over dogs. I really don't get lots of one on one attention because it is way too crowded with so many dogs for this reason I crave human love and attention and cuddles. Given my young age, I do have some energy to burn and require daily activities. It would be so amazing to go for walks and hikes with my forever family.  I have no problem sharing my space and toys with other dogs but I prefer to be the centre of attention and the only pet. My rescue mom keeps telling me what a bundle of joy I am. I enjoy getting lots of love and affection and, I have so much love to give back. I am just waiting for my forever family to find me so that I can blossom and just be the happy puppy I am supposed to be. I know my forever family is out there and I can not wait to meet them. I get a bit distracted at times on the lead and pull on walks but I am getting better. Please be prepare to continue with my training. I am looking forward to finding my forever home where I can live happily ever after. Energy Level: High requires daily physical activities. I get along with: Dogs: Yes Cats: Unknown Kids: Yes (No video proof) Prey drive: unknown/not observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: unknown/none observed. Training: basic Leash skills:  Please be prepared to train me. House trained: Yes but please be prepared to help me in a new home.

Hi there, my name is Sikpang! Here is a little info about me: Breed: Shiba Inu Mix Age: 5 years Gender: Female     Weight: 14.3 lb Height: 32 cm Highlight(s): Good with other dogs, rarely bark, no escape tendency, enjoys car rides  I've had a bit of a tough journey, but I'm ready to find my forever home. You see, I ended up in a city pound back in December 2022, and it took until September 2023 for someone to rescue me. Since being rescued, I've been staying with some amazing foster homes. At first, I can be a little shy, but I warm up quickly, especially if you have treats! Once I feel comfortable, I'll show you just how affectionate I can be. I absolutely love belly rubs, so get ready for some serious cuddle sessions! I've been living with kids and even an indoor rabbit in one of my foster homes, and it was a breeze. I'm not aggressive towards other dogs, but I do have a bit of an alpha personality. I used to be in a room with lots of dogs at the pound, and I would sometimes assert myself a bit too much. But with some socialization and patience, I'm sure I'll learn to get along with other pups just fine. When it comes to cats, I'm mostly uninterested unless they start moving around. Then, I might give chase, but it's easy to redirect my attention. I have a moderate energy level, so I love being active outdoors, but I'm also very calm and relaxed at home. If you're busy, I'll happily curl up and take a nap. My favorite thing in the world is spending time with people. Whether it's going for walks or just hanging out, as long as I'm with you, I'm happy. I'm a good walker, but I do like to take my time and sniff around. Oh, and I rarely bark, except when it's mealtime or I'm excited to go for a walk. I don't have any aggression towards people, but I do like to assert myself with other dogs. I promise I won't harm them, but some sensitive pups might get a little stressed around me. I have a healthy appetite, but no resource guarding issues, and I haven't shown any signs of separation anxiety. Plus, I'm crate-trained and fully house-trained! There's just one thing I really don't like - nail trimming. I tend to struggle with it, but with some patience and positive reinforcement, I'm sure we can work through it together. So, if you're looking for a sweet and resilient companion, I'm your girl. I can't wait to find my forever home and shower you with love and affection. Will you be the one to give me the happy ending I deserve? Energy Level: Moderate - enjoy long walks I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: yes Kids: yes Fears: Unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: yes / Once bonding is established, I will come when called Leash skills: yes. Please be prepared to continue training. House trained: Yes. Please be prepared to help me learn where to go in my new home. Health notes: I have been spayed, 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.

Greetings. My name is SNOOPY and here is a little info about me: Breed: Canaan Dog/Lab mix Age: 4 yrs Gender: male Weight: 21 kg Height: tbd Highlight(s): friendly, playful, gentle, good natured No, I don't sit on a doghouse or fight the red baron, but you can still call me Mr Marvelous. I'm nearly as smart as Snoopy in the comics. Rescuers were feeding strat cats outside their home, when one day I turned up alone there. Authroities were coming around to shoot strat dogs nearby, so I was hiding under a car. I was wary of my rescuers, but eventually they lured me into their garden, because they feared the authorities would come back. They found me to be incredibly sweet and within a day were able to leash me up and get me to a vet to treat my mino wounds and get vaccinated. I am a gentle soul and I do great with cats. In fact, my bff was a cat named Barrow. I ate, slept, played and walked together with him every day https://youtu.be/rlk71-NNJxM. Sadly, my friend died in the summer of 2021. I was very sad. So, my rescuers fostered another dog to help me heal emotionally from my loss. https://youtu.be/Na0QoD2AerA. They brought home a couple pups and after they were adopted, a couple more. I became the older brother to them all and helped them learn to trust and socialize. I took care of one pup who had a broken hip. Then on one walk, I discovered 3 kittens that had been dumped. My rescuers saved them and found them homes. Yet through it all, I have still not found my very own home. I missed on a couple chances. One person changed their mind. Another had their circumstances change, so couldn't adopt me. I'm hoping 3 is the charm and now I will have a family who can bring me into their arms. I am quite friendly and playful. Super gentle and great with both cats and dogs. My rescuer's daughter has taught me some things like sit, paw, and stay. I'm food motivated, so it's pretty easy to entice me to learn. I have never growled nor had any kind of resource guarding issues. I loves going for walks too. I'm sure we can have fund adventures. All around, I am just a good natured, sweet boy. Energy Level: moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: YES Kids: yes, I've been around teens Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: I know some commands, like sit, stay and paw Leash skills: some. Please be prepared continue training. House trained: no. Please help me learn. Health notes: I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is $750.00 CAD plus applicable taxes.

Hi, my name is Nono. I am a 4 year old female labrador/Border Collie cross (best guess from my appearance). I have been in Canada (Greater Vancouver) for 3 years but, due to life circumstances of my adopter, he is unable to keep me. I am a loving dog who really enjoys being with my humans. I can be a bit vocal when I meet dogs on walks but I know I can learn some different greeting skills! After all, I'm part border collie and they can learn marvelous things! Please, please, come and meet me. You'll see what a great dog I am. I have recently been having a few knee problems which may need some help from a vet but you can find out more about this from my rehoming adopter. Whatever is the issue, it's not slowing me down much.  I  once had a family in the Middle East who actually rescued me from the street when I was just a month old. But they had to give me to the shelter for protection because someone called the police and they wanted to take me away. You see dogs are illegal to own here and quite often dogs are ripped away from our families and killed. I was lucky to be loved enough to be put in a shelter and not just thrown on the street. Even though I am safe from the police, life in a shelter can be very rough for some dogs. I am one of those dogs. I am a very sweet and loving dog and some of the other dogs see me a weak and are starting to attack me. I am so very scared so I would really love to get into another home quickly. I am not used to shelter life and I am getting very depressed. I really am a great dog. I am very smart and kind. I try hard to be friends with the other dogs here and I really do want to be friends and thankfully some of them are nice with me. I am loving with my human caretakers and I would love to be in a home, any home really. I would love to go on long walks and have playtime in the dog park too. I do have an advantage over some of the other dogs here in Iran because I actually did live in a home so I have an idea of how that is. I should make an easy transition into my new life. So as you see I urgently need to get our of the shelter before I get hurt by the other dogs. I am looking so forward to my new life in Canada all curled up and cozy in your home.   I am spayed, vaccinated and micro-chipped    My adoption fee is $500.00    please see our adoption guidelines at www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca   nono/fariba   show less

Hey, hey, hey. My name is SPIRO (Omid) and here is a little info about me: Breed: German Shepard mix Age: 2 years Gender: male Weight: 24 kg Height: 60 cm Highlight(s): social, smart, friendly, listens well, loves hugs and kisses Yup, social and super friendly, even with people I don’t know. Special, right? Found in front of my rescuer’s house in the Middle East about July of 2022, I was super sick. So much so that I couldn’t walk or stand up. My lovely rescuer took me home and started caring for me. The original name my rescuer gave me in my language means 'hope', as she could only hope for my survival. Now, I am a healthy, happy boy. I am a smart boy, who listens well, so I should learn quickly. I already know how to sit and what no means. I am also happy to be your confidant. Hoping that includes hugs and kisses. If I am an only dog or one of a multi-dog household, it's all good to me. I like to be fairly active, but can chill out too, especially if it involves kisses and hugs. Wink. Energy Level: moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: no Kids: unknown -  state yes, very good with kids, but no video proof Fears: None observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition Training: Some, I know basic words like sit, and no. I need to learn in English though. Leash skills: some. Please be prepared to continue training. House training: in process. Be prepared to help me learn where to go in my new home. Health notes: 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.

Hello everyone. My name is Sua and here is a little info about me: Breed: Jindo mix Age: 4 years Gender: Female     Weight: 48 lb Height: 46 cm Highlight(s): Good with other dogs,  no resource guarding issues towards humans and other dogs, rarely barks In January 2021 I was taken into a city pound where I was slated for euthanasia. Luckily I was saved in August 2021 by my amzing rescuer, Welcome Dog Korea. At first, I was scared of people and uncomfortable about being pet. It took a long time for me to open up and trust humans. I've come so far but still have a long way to go. I recently went to a lovely foster home. My foster parent says that I'm much better about being touched in such a short time. Touching my belly, paws and butt is no problem. I'm starting to trust people and getting more comfortable towards strangers. I even allowed a guest to pet me right away.  When I go for walks, I get lots of complements about how cute my short legs are and how happy my face looks. On my last walk with my human, I met a cat and I was not distracted by it at all. My foster mom thinks that I may be ok to live in a home with cat. I also live with a small dog at my current foster home, and I'm very gentle to it. My handler says I like other dogs but I rarely want to wrestle with the ones I have just met. I only enjoy wrestling with my familiar buddies. At a dog park, I tend to enjoy the time alone sniffing here and there. I don't mind other dogs approach and sniff me, but I usually don't want to interact more. As much as I enjoy being outdoor and exploring, I'm very calm at home. People find me very affectionate when I open up to them. Every morning, as soon as my foster mommy wakes up, I immediately go to her for pets with a big smile on my face, which my mom finds is very adorable.  I have a moderate energy level. I enjoy outdoor activities and likes to rest/calm at home after walks. During walks, I'm very happy. I'm a good leash walker but don't really like running. You won't have to worry about me taking any treats from strangers.  I have come so far, do you have room in your heart for a beautiful shy girl?  I have so much to give to a nice quiet home. [★Important] NO OFF LEASHES. I don't approach people easily when off-leashed. Please be careful. When I'm on the run, it will be very hard to catch me. Bluetooth or GPS trackers are highly recommended. [★Important] I don't jump into a car by myself as I don't like being picked up till I can fully trust my human. It's best to use a crate at the beginning. You would need to put the crate on the ground and say "house". I will go into the crate and you can put me in the car then. You may need a helping hand to lift my crate and put it in the car as it will be a bit heavy. I promise this is only a temporary work until I open up completely. Energy Level: Moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown Kids: no Fears: Scared of strangers but I'm slowly getting more comfortable. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Leash skills: yes. Please be prepared to continue training. House trained: Yes. Please be prepared to help me learn where to go in my new home. Health notes: 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 flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

Hi there!  My name is Suho, I am a 4 year old male Jindo mix that weighs 46 lbs (21 kg) and stands 19 inches high.  I was taken into the city pound on Dec 24 202 and rescued by the awesome people at WDK in August 2021.  At that time I was heartworm positive and received treatment and was cleared June 2022.  Now I am better, and looking for my forever home!  You can also see the skin on my nose has peeled off and never grew back, so maybe we can stay out of too much sunshine just in case of sunburn. My handler says I welcome strangers, I easily approach them and let them pet me, smiling and wagging my tail. I even enjoy being groomed.  While I love attention from people, other dogs not so much, she thinks it is because I can get jealous and want all the people attention for myself, so I need to be the only dog in the household. I have never met a cat, so it is unknown how I would respond to them. I have a moderate energy level and love all activities with people, going for a walk makes me very happy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kRnwjFj59Q&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JzeU_0iXjHSwVH80Ln6ibg9&index=5 I also sit for a treat which apparently is adorable :)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzKJ79NwrOk&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JzeU_0iXjHSwVH80Ln6ibg9&index=4 It is important to note that I have shown some aggression to other dogs (presumably from jealousy) but never towards people.  Any interaction with other dogs needs to be monitored. My appetite is moderate, with no resource guarding issues, no signs of separation anxiety, no car sickness and I rarely bark. So what do you say?  Will you be my one and only?  Apply for me today!

Good morning. My name is SUNFLOWER (Scot) and here is a little info about me: Breed: Caucasian Shepard/German Shepard mix Age: 3-1/2 yrs Gender: female Weight: 28 kg Height: 60 cm Highlight(s): brave, loyal, independent, easily trainable Sunflower good morning, you sure do make it like a sunny day. And I will for you. I am a loyal girl, who will love you forever. I tend to be a bit independent, but I am quite easy to train. After the life I have had, you will see I am a brave pup too. Even with what I have endured, I am very kind to people. I used to live with a couple in the Middle East. The man used to beat me with a stick. He hit me so hard that my right front leg was broken. No one took me to the vet to care for me. They just left me alone outside. So my right front leg is crooked now. Someone in the neighborhood found me and took me in as a foster. Now my rescuer is trying to find me a home in Canada, where I can live a safe and normal dog life. I'd be pleased with a moderately active home. Taking strolls along a beach, down a trail or through the park would suit me fine. I'm good with other dogs, but haven't seen cats or been around kids yet. I'm a gentle girl, who would love to relax in your arms getting my ears scratched. If you are looking for a faithful companion to hang out with, then you've come to the right profile. I'm ready to make your days sunny and beautiful. https://youtu.be/Td7nAOURouc, https://youtube.com/shorts/Pbee8IN6T1s?feature=share Energy Level: moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown Kids: unknown Fears: I am afraid of sticks.

**update** I'm currently being fostered in Seattle, WA   Hello everyone. My name is Sweetie and here is a little info about me: Breed: Jindo mix Age: 4 years Gender: Female     Weight: 36 lb Height: 49 cm Highlight(s): Good with other dogs, not scared of strangers, no escape tendency, no separation anxiety Found lokced up in a rusty and filty wire cage in South Korea, all I was given was food waste. I was very skinny and looked lifeless when my amazing rescuing saved me.  From the very beginning, I was very friendly to humans and a very cheerful girl. You may find me a bit shy at first but I am very submissive to humans and would allow you to pet me and even lift me if you take the time and do it slowly. Once I completely open up to you, I'll be even more comfortable with pets and scratches. Car rides are not my favorite thing as I could feel very car sick and start drooling a lot.  My energy level is moderate and I enjoy outdoor activites and like to rest/calm at home after walks. At the dog parks, you will find me focused more on sniffing here and there and minding my own business rather than trying to play with new friends. However, I do gently say hi to my new dog friends at the park but I will quickly run away and continue my sniffing adventure.  Rarely will I bark at home, even when I'm left alone. I'm also crate trained and 90% hourse trained.   You will see I am friendly, cheerful & calm with no resource guarding issues toward humans or other dogs. I have only shown aggression to one dog among 30-40 dogs. During walks, I look very happy and confident. I follow my handler pretty well while enjoy sniffing here and there. Passing cars don't scare me and I'm not afraid of pedestrians, indeed I like approach people and say hi. After I finish peeing, I love kicking my back legs while looking really happy.  Energy Level: Moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown / I have never met a cat! Kids: yes Fears: Unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: yes / I am crate trained Leash skills: yes. Please be prepared to continue training.

UPDATE: Hi there, it's me again!! My name for the last 2 years has been Timon, you know, the funny, smart character from Lion King! I know my name well and I am indeed a funny, playful 4 year old guy. My human has unfortunately had to change her career path and that means that, due to travelling, she will not be able to keep me. As a result, I am looking for a new family with whom to share my joy for life. Might that be you? I love playing with other dogs and I really love humans although little humans (under about 10 yrs old) might be a bit too exciting for me to live with.  My rehoming adopter has described me as a LIVESTOCK GUARDIAN. Would you hear that?!! She says I have been very protective of their chickens and mini goats. I even defended them from a bear one day when it came close to the animals. I barked and frightened him away. Even though I am a brave guy who loves to be outdoors, I am also an inside guy who just loves to cuddle and show my humans how much I love them. Would you like to meet me and see how wonderful I am? TIMON Breed: Shepard/Lab mix Age: 4 yrs Gender: m, neutered Wgt/Hgt: 66 lbs / 23-1/2 inches Energy level: moderate, I love 3 hour hikes and being out in nature, even sleeping in a tent but I also love snuggling with my humans. Relations: good with dogs, children over 10 / unknown cats Highlights: kind hearted, mellow but playful Region: Middle East HISTORY: Look no further... for I have been known as Shini, bringer of smiles and healer from sadness. I would love to give you a marvelous gift, me.  When I was about a year old, some vicious person cut off my ears and tail here in the Middle East. Ends up I took refuge near my rescuer's home. Since often shelters are full, rescuers will treat our needs, then return us back "into the wild", so to speak. They check on us to make sure we are ok and to bring us food, of course. My rescuer took care of me and allowed me to continue to hang around the area with the other dogs. Unfortunately, when she checked on me one day, she found I had been attacked by some of the other dogs. So, she took me again for care and found a place for me to stay where I would be safer. Some can survive on the street, some of us can't. I'm one that just doesn't have that ability. It is probably because I am so gentle with others. You can see in my video. One of my great qualities is my kind hearted nature. I'm a pretty chill fellow, though I do like to play too. I am very good with other dogs and despite my past, I still love people and as my video shows, I am gentle with children. I haven't been around cats in the same household but, given that I can handle ducks, I think I'll be just fine with cats.   I think I am a pretty average guy when it comes to activity level, more moderate to low even. Once play time is over, then I am always up for some chilled out tummy scratching time. I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped.
