Meet POPPIE (Turkey) kt
My name is POPPIE (Poppy) and here is a little info about me:Breed: Great Dane/Anatolian mixAge: 1-1/2 yrsGender: femaleWeight: 38 kgsHeight: 72 cmCountry of origin: TurkeyHighlight(s): calm, friendly, gentle, social, playful, intelligent, bit of anxiety to overcomeI may be a Diamond in the Ruff, but still a gem to woof about. I am gentle and friendly to little kids and adults. I'm also super nice to all other dogs and even cats.Apparently someone dumped me. They removed my collar, as marks show where it used to be. Probably once loved but, as I left puppyhood, was disregarded. Since I am growing up very fast, my size seemed to scare the villagers. So, some people have not been nice and mistreated me. There were even wild dogs that attacked me! I was bitten on my ears, neck and legs, so of course I’m a little nervous these days. I was friendly playful girl when I first turned up, but became withdrawn & scared because of how I was treated.I typically have a very calm demeanor. Being smart and playful, I have a sweet social side to me. A cute bit. I can be chatty, I love to chitchat with you. Think of me as an oversized talkative French Bulldog.While I have a fear of confined spaces (no crating for me please) and some separation anxiety, given a patient home, I can overcome these set backs. I walk well on a lead when calm, but when she stressed can be a little chaotic and since I am a strong girl, need a proper harness to maintain me in those moments. I know those will diminish, as I learn I am safe. I want to trust, so I know if you show me kindness, I will develop more confidence. As a brainy girl, I'm certain I will quickly learn commands, housetraining, etc... too.Happily, I will get into a car for a ride. I am just as happy to lay by your side or at your feet to chill out though. I just love human company. Currently, I have struggled to find my place after losing my home and being in a village surrounded by humans and other animals who weren’t so welcoming.I truly am a gentle giant with a happy soul. I have displayed being very gentle and kind around young children and cats. As a big bundle of love, I want nothing more than to be your sweet friend for life! Hope someone out there can offer me a soft place in their heart and their home.People love my eyes, they keep saying I am wearing eyeliner and they love my natural brindle colours and my funky striped markings, but looks are not my only asset because I’ve overheard that it’s my sweet nature that really sparkles. I overheard my foster parents say whoever picks me will be the ones to really see this precious gem shine. Finding a rescue dog to adopt, several hundred dollars... adopting a loving, giant breed pup, priceless.Vids: https://youtube.com/shorts/wmN-1BKkZm8?feature=share, https://youtube.com/shorts/N0E4uGZJsoM?feature=shareEnergy level: Low - Moderate.I get along with:Dogs: yes.Cats: unknown.

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.
