Meet CHIBI (Rep of Georgia) yo

Hiya. My name is CHIBI and here is a little info about me: Breed: Chihuahua mixAge: 8 yearsGender: FemaleWeight: 28-1/2 lbsHeight: 14-1/2 inCountry of origin: Republic of GeorgiaHighlight(s): Obedient, courageous, confident, loving, sillyHello, humans! I’m so happy to meet you. My playful antics will keep you smiling.My life began with heartbreak, but I have shown incredible resilience. I was discovered abandoned in a dumpster during a rainstorm; cold, shivering, and severely malnourished. My rescuers found me with gashes along my body and brought me to safety just in time.At my age, I’ve already been through quite a journey, but thanks to my amazing rescuers, I’m healthy, spunky, and ready to find my forever home. I love massages and cuddles as well as being brushed (I make a purring sound) and can’t wait to meet my forever humans.Shortly after my rescue, it was revealed that I was pregnant. Tragically, due to my fragile state, my single puppy didn’t survive. Despite these hardships, I have never given up. With the dedicated care of my saviors, I have healed physically and emotionally, blossoming into the amazing dog I am today.Yes, you probably noticed I am a tad overweight. It's because my rescuers have a hard time withholding the treats from cute little me, after my difficult life. It would be good to trim me up a little. Then I can better reflect my name, which means 'tiny' in Japanese. I am not a picky eater, but eat small bits at a time. I can be a little feisty and am not afraid to stand my ground when I feel the need. I adore attention and might gently nudge other dogs out of the way to soak it all up. I love to sniff around and learn about my environment. I don’t like to be picked up suddenly from the floor, especially just under my belly. If you stroke me first, then lift up from a chair or sofa, and carry me gently, it's all good to be in your arms. Time trusting will likely alleviate this. My eyes can get cloudy (it’s like seeing things through a veil), but they periodically clear up. Possibly contact abrasion of the cornea, because I follow closely behind the other dogs’ wagging tails which hit me across the eyes. Just at that right height, I guess. When they give me antibiotics, CBD oil and omega-3 oil, my eyes clear up significantly. When I no longer have to navigate through a pack of tails, surely my vision will improve. Also, I may have allergies to some of the plants on the property, or to dust, which contribute to eye redness.Now however, I am thriving. I've made friends with other dogs in here in care and am ready to leave my troubled past behind for a brighter future filled with love and stability. Some of my loves you ask? Chicken, giblets. sardines, cheese, cooked veggies (especially carrots) and soft music.Added vid at vet: https://youtube.com/shorts/ufddrbKdEuw?feature=share.Energy Level: Low-moderate I get along with:Dogs: YesCats: unknownKids: unknownFears: Sudden movements can spook me.

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.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.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.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.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.[MID-EAST] *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.[TURKEY] Dogs from Turkey receive a 4D SNAP test to include Heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmania and Anaplasmosis.
