Meet BAMBI (MID-EAST) NVS

Hi, my name is Bambi! I am a gentle, special needs angel currently living with dogs just like me in the Middle East until I can find my forever family!I am excited to find a home patient, experienced and as in love with me as I will ABSOLUTELY be with them! Name: BambiBreed: Australian Shepherd / Shepherd MixAge: 3 years oldGender: FemaleWeight: 23 kgHeight: 65 cmHighlights: loves other dogs, bonds quickly with humans, playful, kind - currently living in a home with other disabled dogsWhen my guardian angel found me in the street, I was only 8 months old. I could barely walk and I was barely strong enough to get around. My rescuer was so kind and took me to her home where I have been nurtured ever since. I live with other super playful disabled dogs and I am really happy!The vet thinks I was hit by something on my back when I was a puppy and that is how I became paralyzed from the waist down. I have no feelings down there so my guardian angel human helps me when it comes to peeing and pooping. I am slowly getting better but I will need a family as loving as her that is willing to take me to physiotherapy sessions and help me gain the strength back in my muscles down there!I am super kind and bond quickly with humans. I love being around others but I also do really amazing on my own! No separation anxiety for this girlie. I am independent despite my disabilities!Fun fact about me: I can walk using my two front legs for a really long time without getting tired and I LOVE having a house with a yard. I am a big fan of exploring new places!Energy level: Medium - my disability doesn't slow me down! I love to playGet along with:Dogs: yesCats: UnsureKids: UnsureFears: Unsure, please be patient with me to work through any that may come upTraining: I am a VERY quick learner and though I have disabilities, I do love to listen. Please be prepared to continue training with me.Leash skills: Please be patient and prepared to continue training with me as my walking looks a little different.House trained: Please be prepared to support me with this as I work with physiotherapy to gain some independence backHealth notes: As mentioned above, I am paralyzed from waist down! Besides this, I am a happy, healthy girl :)!I have been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.My adoption fee is $650.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation from the Mid East, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.Most passengers from the Middle East now require a fee to accompany a dog on a flight. Due to this, if a rescuer finds a flight with this requirement, we will contact you to see if you are willing to pay the passenger. You are under no obligation to do this. If not, another flight will need to be searched for, though there is no guarantee a free or lower cost one will be found. Though oft times a passenger is requesting higher amounts, the fee will not exceed $250. Our rescuers work extremely hard finding flights and spend tremendous amounts of money caring for and sending these dogs to safety. They simply haven't the extra money to cover this. Thank you for your understanding.Disclaimer: It is important for 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 originally 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.
