HÔLA. My name is ESTRELLA and here is a little info about me:Breed: Basenji/Cattle Dog mixAge: 5 yrsGender: femaleWeight: 50 lbsHeight: 19 inchesCountry of origin: MexicoHighlight(s): friendly, playful, loving, smart, nobleI know, "those ears", right? With a wonderful personality, you will enjoy my company. I am very friendly & playful.Rescued pregnant from the streets of Mexico with one of my sisters, we were both pregnant. I have been in rescue for 4 years now. It is time for me to launch out into my own home. My momma, Orinda, was rescued first by the team. She is posted too, I LOVE my ball and to play fetch. If fact, I get super excited about my ball and going to the park. Once home, I am tired out and chill out, happy to hang out on my bed and with my chew toys. I get along with other dogs with proper introduction, of course. I do play a tad rough, like with the other dogs (see video.) I do have a small bit of prey drive, so please no cats, chickens, rodents, etc...I seem to be ok with older kids, but in my exuberance might playfully knock over the wee ones. I will need a bit of work on my leash skills yet, as well as socialization (meeting new dogs and getting out and about.) I am super smart though and a fast learner.I rather do want all the attention to myself and will interject myself between you and another dog getting attention. I will slide just on in between. Heehee. An active household would suit me just right I love to go out on walks & adventures. Maybe I could be your paddleboard partner? Looking forward to our time together.Energy Level: moderateI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: noKids: Yes - see videoFears: Loud noises (fireworks and explosions.) Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training: crate trainedLeash skills: a bit. Please be prepared to train me.House trained: Yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home.Health notes:I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.My adoption fee is $750.00 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.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.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. You will NOT be asked to pay a passenger fee on top of the cargo fee.[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 Leishmania, Heartworm, Ehrlichia, & Anaplasma, as well as Giardia, Parvo, Corona & Distemper.
