Hello there! My name is Peter, and here’s a little info about me:Breed: Dalmatian PointerAge: 1 yrGender: Male Weight: 38 LbsHeight: 27 inches Country of origin: Middle EastHighlight(s): Playful, social, gentle-hearted, resilient, and full of joy!A little about me:Just look at me — a young spotted boy with the softest eyes and a heart ready to love. I may not have had the easiest start, but I’ve learned that life can be beautiful again when someone believes in you.When I was just a tiny puppy, I was found in an abandoned building — scared, hungry, and with a rope tied tightly around my neck. It hurt, both my body and my spirit. But kind rescuers found me and showed me what gentle hands feel like. They healed me, loved me, and gave me back my trust in people.Now I’m healthy, strong, and full of life. You can still see a quiet wisdom in my eyes — the kind that only comes from having survived something hard and choosing to love anyway.People say I’m the perfect mix of playful and calm. I love running, playing fetch, and making new furry friends. But when the games are over, I’m happy to sit quietly beside you, tail wagging softly, just being close. I’m affectionate, gentle, curious, and kind — the kind of dog who notices when you’re sad and rests his head on your lap.I’d love to join a home that enjoys laughter, walks, and simple moments of connection. Whether you’re a family, a couple, or someone who’s just looking for a loyal companion, I’ll fill your days with warmth and wagging tails.Energy Level: moderate to highI get along with:Dogs: YesCats: yes (rescuer says yes, but no video proof)Kids: YesFears: I’m a brave boy, though I always appreciate gentle voices and kind hearts.Training: Leash skills: Yes — please continue to help me grow in confidence.House trained: Yes — please continue to help me grow in confidence.Health notes:I am healthy, neutered, vaccinated, and microchippedMy adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. While our rescuers always seek a flight without a charge, there is the possibility of a passenger fee, not to exceed $300.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 asked to pay a passenger fee on top of the cargo fee.[MID EAST DOGS] *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.
