If I have an adopter, I should be able to come to Canada on Dec 19th.Hello. I'm Lizzey (Lizzy) and here is some info about me:Breed: Golden Retriever/Saluki mixAge: 1 yearGender: femaleWeight: 15 kgHighlights: confident, friendly, loyal, playful, smartHello Canadians! It’s a pleasure to meet you! Friendly and affectionate, I just adore people.I’m a resilient street dog born and raised on the bustling streets of Turkey, where I learned to navigate life with sharp instincts and a hopeful heart. The streets were my home, shared with other animals, including cats, where I found scraps of food and moments of safety amidst the chaos. My life changed when the city council took me in as part of a neutering program. Due to new laws, I couldn’t return to my streets unless adopted, leaving me in a cage, waiting for someone to give me a second chance.Being a gentle, playful soul who thrives on human interaction and loves affection, you will be smitten with my demeanor. My favorite things include playing fetch, learning new tricks, and basking in the sunshine. I adore chest tickles, and when I place my paws on your arm, it’s my way of saying “thank you” for your love. https://youtu.be/RDWCgJIOXrs.I’d likely do wonderfully in a home with children older kids who can match my energy and joy for life. Whether playing with other dogs or just enjoying time with humans, I’m happiest when surrounded by love.Having an active home would suit me best. I enjoy activities. I'm sure I'd like whatever you enjoy doing... hiking, park play, beach runs, maybe even try my paw at paddleboarding or boating or whatever, I'm game. I'm super intelligent, so could probably learn doggie sports too. I walk well on lead and happily travel in a car.My rescuer says I am a "happy soul".I’m ready to start a new chapter filled with warmth, play, and care. Will you be the one to change my life forever? I promise I will provide the utmost loyalty, love and companionship to my family.Energy level: highPrey drive: none observed.

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.
