Hello! My name is Bondok, and here is a little info about me:Breed: Mixed BreedAge: 2.5 yearsGender: MaleWeight: 21 kgCountry of Origin: EgyptHighlight(s): Resilient, affectionate, playful, social, courageous, lovingHi there! I'm Bondok, which means "Hazelnut" in Arabic. I may have had a heartbreaking start in life, but today I'm a happy, loving boy who is ready to find the forever family I've always dreamed of.When I was just a puppy, I was hit by a car or truck. The impact left me with a broken pelvis, a severely broken back leg, and complete paralysis. I had to drag myself just to move.As if that wasn't enough, the accident threw me into thorny bushes, leaving painful thorns embedded throughout my body that caused serious infections. Later, I also developed scabies and blood parasites. I spent about a year and a half going through surgeries, treatments, rehabilitation, and endless care before I finally recovered.Today, I walk very well and enjoy life just like any other dog. The only lasting effect is that I can't stand up on my back legs to place my paws on people like many dogs do, and I have a permanently broken tail that hangs down. Neither of these causes me pain or stops me from living a happy, active life. I walk well and enjoy an active lifestyle.I love playing with other dogs and being part of the pack. I get along wonderfully with cats inside the house as well. I'm also a little jealous—in the cutest way! I especially love friendly competition with my buddy Chocho, as I enjoy being the leader of the group.I'd love a family who will include me in their daily life and shower me with affection. Whether I have canine siblings or I'm your one and only, I'll be happiest with people who appreciate my loving personality and playful nature.Energy Level: ModerateI get along with:Dogs: YesCats: Yes Kids: UnknownFears: 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. 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.
