Meet LEESI (Mid -East) yo

Hi there. My name is LEESI (Lili) and here is a bit of info about me:Breed: Golden Retriever/Labrador mixAge: 4 monthsGender: femaleWeight: 10 kgCountry of origin: Middle EastHighlight(s): Eager to learn, easily trainable, loyal, calm, cuddly, confident, funny, relaxedMy life has been a journey of ups and downs, but it's a story of hope and resilience. Through it all, I remain a calm and faithful pup.When a mere two months old,I was purchased from a couple who were struggling with addiction. It was a chaotic and unstable environment, far from the loving and nurturing home a puppy like me deserves.For a month, I found some stability with a new family who took me in. However, their ability to care for me was short-lived. At the tender age of three months, I was abandoned in a garden, left all alone and scared. Imagine being so young and vulnerable, with no one to turn to. It was a frightening experience, but I held on to the hope that someone would find me and give me the love I needed. And then, a miracle happened. A kind-hearted team from a rescue organization found me in that garden. They saw the fear in my eyes, but they also saw the potential for a happy and loving life. They took me in, provided me with the care and attention I desperately needed, and gave me a second chance.At first, I was nervous and clingy, unsure of what the future held. But with time, patience, and lots of love, I began to blossom. I learned to trust again, to play, and to enjoy the simple joys of life.Now, I am on the path to finding my forever home, where I will be cherished, cared for, and loved unconditionally.I am an easily trainable pup, as I am eager to learn. I am mellow and relaxed, but also confident. You'll find I can act like a funny puppy at times. Other times, I just want to snuggle. I am firever loyal though. I'll remain by your side through all of life. I will likely get around 50-65 lbs full grown.My story is a testament to the power of rescue and the kindness of strangers who can change the life of a helpless animal like me. I am grateful for this second chance and look forward to the wonderful adventures and memories I will make with my new family. Thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way; your love and care have given me a new lease on life.Energy Level: moderateI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: UnknownKids: unknown, but rescuer states yes.

Spay/neuter will be the responsibility of the adopter and is required for my adoption to be finalized.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.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.
