Hello! My name is Harry, and here is a little info about me:Breed: Labrador Retriever MixAge: 5 yearsGender: MaleWeight: 20 kgsCountry of origin: LebanonHighlight(s): Shy, calm, gentle, and obedientHi, I’m Harry! I’m a sweet and gentle boy with a calm personality. My story began before I was even born. My precious mom, Jolie, was discovered on the highway in Beirut, surrounded by dangerous traffic. Our rescuer saw her and stepped in to protect her from the oncoming cars, risking their own safety to rescue her.After she was brought to safety, everyone discovered that she was pregnant with me and my siblings. She could finally feel safe and cared for. There, she gave birth to me, little Harry. Thanks to the kindness shown to my mom, I was lucky enough to begin my life somewhere safe.I take after my mom and can be shy, calm, sweet, and gentle. I may need a little time to become comfortable with new people and surroundings, but patience and kindness will help me build confidence. And although I’m a quiet boy, I certainly know how handsome I am. My ideal home would be calm, loving, and patient. I would do best with a family willing to give me the time and reassurance I need to settle in and become comfortable. Once I know I am safe, I can begin showing more of my sweet personality.Energy Level: UnknownI get along with:Dogs: YesCats: UnknownKids: YesFears: I am naturally shy, so unfamiliar people, places, and situations may initially make me nervous.

Please be prepared to train me or continue my leash training.House trained: No. Please be patient and help me learn where to go in my new home.Health notes: No specific health concerns were provided. Neutered, vaccinations & microchipped.My adoption fee is 750 CAD plus applicable taxes. This may include my transportation to Canada if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver. 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.
