RUMI/Middle East/LF
About
Hello everyone! I am RUMI and here is some important info you should know about me:BREED: Shepherd MixAGE: 6 mos.GENDER: MaleWEIGHT: 27 poundsHEIGHT: 26 inchesHighlights: funny, loving, playful, cuddlyMy name is Rumi, named after a beloved old Persian poet. It seems fitting since my own story began in the Middle East. I was found as a tiny puppy wandering alone through a busy bazaar—not a safe place for a little guy like me. Thankfully, a kind woman rescued me and cared for me until she had to return to the United States. She made sure I was left in safe hands. I’m a bit of a riot! I’m full of happy puppy energy, incredibly lovable, and I adore people and other dogs. I’d especially love a friendly fur brother to play with and learn from. I’m still young and have lots to learn, so I need someone patient who will socialize me, keep me active, and show me the world. In return, I’ll bring you lots of love, laughter, and puppy mischief. Could I be your boy? ENERGY LEVEL: playfulGets along with: DOGS: yes CATS: unknown KIDS: Yes! I’m an energetic and excitable puppy, though, so I’d probably do best with older children.PREY DRIVE: None observed. My adoption needs to be willing to train me should these behaviors ariseFEARS: There are still so many things in the world that I’ve never experienced. New sounds and unfamiliar situations can sometimes scare me. I will need patience to get used to my new environment.TRAINING: some HOUSE TRAINING: I don’t currently live in a traditional home environment, so I haven’t had much opportunity to learn house rules yet. But I’m a very smart boy, and I should learn quickly with a little patience and guidance. LEASH TRAINING: I will need patient trainingHEALTH NOTES: I am neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.My adoption fee is 800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. 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 adopter and the environment in which they live.Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although one-on-one training is often not required, it is helpful to have support available should any problematic behaviors arise. Most issues can be modified if addressed early, so it’s important to guide your dog before small challenges become big problems.Basic training should begin only after your dog has settled in—usually after a couple of weeks. Once your new dog is relaxed and comfortable, check out local beginner courses. These help with socialization, confidence, public manners, and bonding.While most dogs fly directly to Vancouver with flight volunteers, some may need routes through Toronto or Montreal. In that case, extra fees will apply for cargo transfer within Canada. Cargo costs typically range from $350–$550, depending on the dog’s size. LALDR will be transparent about any additional transportation fees.The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we cannot guarantee accuracy.Normally, homes with children under 12 are not approved. However, if a dog is known to be good with kids, applicants with children 8+ may be considered.[MID-EAST] Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1, and parainfluenza. Bordetella is not given in the Middle East.[TURKEY] Dogs receive 4D SNAP tests, including heartworm, ehrlichiosis, leishmania, and anaplasmosis.
