Meet Ralphy (California) ns
My name is Ralphy and here is a little info about me:Breed: Shih Tzu and Maltese Mix Age: 4 years oldGender: Male, neuteredWeight: 16 lbsHeight: 13 inI was found as a stray dog and was transfered to a high kill shelter in California. Nobody adopted me or came forward so they put me in euthanasia list because they were running out of space at that busy shelter. Thankfully a kind lady agreed to take me in temporary to save my life. She couldn't believe nobody came forward to adopt me. I am cute, friendly and a happy guy! I get along with everyone, love to cuddle humans. My coat will need grooming but is non-shedding. It was so dirty and tangled that my foster mom had to shave some parts of my coat. Don't worry it will grow back again soon! If you like a small fluffy friend that loves to go for walks I'm the dog for you. I have lots of time and love to give and my tail is always wagging. I am house-trained but might need some help in my new home. I loves people and other dogs and get along great with them and currently am living with many other dogs in my foster home. If I'm adopted I can travel to Vancouver very soon, please adopt me! Energy Level: moderateI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unknownKids: yes, no video proofPrey drive: unknown/not observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.Fears: unknown/none observed.Training: basicLeash skills: Please be prepared to train me.House trained: Yes but please be prepared to help me in a new home.I have been vaccinated, neutered and microchipped.My adoption fee is $850.00 CAD plus applicable taxes.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.Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.

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. 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 the dog is shown to be good with children we will approve homes with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
