Meet Vida (Israel) sv
Hello! I'm Vida (Alvida) and you can find some info about me below. Breed: Border Collie / Shepherd mixAge: 2 1/2 yearsGender: FemaleWeight: 44 lbsHeight: 16 inCountry of origin: IsraelHighlights: Playful, cuddly, resiliant, eager to learnI had a tough beginning but never lost my sweet spirit. My story began near a university, where some students spotted me with a deep wound around my neck. It looked like I’d been tied tightly with a rope for a long time. Thankfully, they reached out to a rescue, and a worker came with a taxi to save me. Since then, I’ve been healing — inside and out — and I’m finally ready to find a home where I’m safe, loved, and free.I'm living in a shelter alongside many animals who are in need of a second chance at life. I've made some furry pals here; playing with other dogs, and have been introduced to cats, though they're a curious species and I keep my distance. The volunteers here are so kind to me! I love it when they bring me treats! Walk time is very special, and I'm learning leash manners.I'm a gentle girl who loves to please. Eager to learn, I'll follow your lead -- especially when treats are involved! Toys are so much fun to play with, especially when I have a human's attention.I hope to find a forever home where I can truly belong. I’d love a person or family who will continue to show me the kindness I’ve just begun to know, and help me keep growing in confidence and happiness.Videos on the way.Energy Level: ModerateI get along with:Dogs: YesCats: unknown, rescuer states yes, but no video proofKids: unknown, rescuer states yes, but no video proofFears: None observed.

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. 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.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. 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. You will NOT be charged the passenger fee in addition to this.
