Hello, My name is Wafer (Tedy) and here is a little info about me:Name: WaferBreed: Lab/Basenji mixAge: 2 years oldGender: MaleWeight: 40 lbs (18 kg)My mom was rescued shortly after I was born. I was raised by my foster family in their house, but they emmigrated and I've been to different shelters under poor conditions since then. I am hoping to find my forever family.I am a boy who is kind, loves hugs and kisses and just outright enjoys being close to my owner. I like playing with other dogs and cats too. Though I am a little shy, once I feel safe, it's all good. You'll also be happy to know I am a smart little guy.Hoping we can do some fun things together. I hear there are awesome things in Canada, like hiking in the mountains and beach runs and pup cups and doggie parks,... hooo boy, I can't wait to get into your arms.Energy Level: moderateI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unknown, rescuer states yes, but no video proofKids: unknown, rescuer states yes, but no video proofFears: Unknown/none observed.

I'm mostly house trained. Please be prepared to help me learn where to go in my new home.Health notes: I have been neutered, de-wormed, microchipped and up to date on my vaccination.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. 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.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.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.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.
