Meet ATHENA (Mid-East) yo

Hello beautiful people! I am Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Here is some info you need to know about me. Breed: Anatolian Shepherd   Age: 3 yrs   Gender: femaleHeight: 60 cm Weight: 40 kgCountry of Origin: Middle EastHighlights: calm, mellow, friendly, food motivated, loyalI’m a three-year-old sweetie who has been living at this shelter since I was just a year old puppy. Yep, you read that right—I’ve been here 2/3 of my whole life, waiting for my forever home. I might be a bit on the chubby side (okay, maybe more than a bit!), but that just means there’s more of me to love!I’m the definition of mellow. I’m not extremely active—running around and chasing things isn’t really my style. I’d much rather find a cozy spot to nap or enjoy a nice snack.I love food—maybe a little too much—but who can blame me? Treats are the best!I’m super friendly and love people. I’ll happily hang out with you, whether you want to go for a leisurely walk or just relax together. And if you’re into cuddling, I’m your perfect match! I’ve got plenty of warmth and affection to share, and I’m always up for snuggling on the couch.I also get along really well with other dogs. I’m not the jealous type; I’m just happy to be part of the pack. So, if you’re looking for a laid-back, cuddle-loving companion who doesn’t need a lot of exercise, I’m your girl! I’ve been waiting patiently for someone to take me home—could it be you?Energy level: moderate to lowI get along with:Dogs: yes  Cats: unknown  Kids: unknownPrey Drive: non-observed, however, my adopter needs to be willing to train me should these behaviors rise.Fears: I am definitely not afraid of much. I will just need patience to get used to my new environment.Training: some    Leash training: yes. I walk well on leash. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: no. Please help me learn. I have been in the shelter my whole life.Health notes: I have been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.My adoption fee is 800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes transportation to Canada, if accompanied by a fight volunteer directly to Vancouver.We encourage 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.[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 receive 4D SNAP tests - which include: Heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmania and Anaplasmosis.
