Hiya. My name is TATE and here is a little info about me:Breed: Jack Russell mixAge: 5 yrsGender: maleWeight: 14 kgsHeight: tbdCountry of origin: TurkeyHighlight(s): playful, affectionate, social, friendlyFrom his foster mom (also his flight angel April 15): Tate is one of the sweetest most well behaved little dogs I’ve encountered. At the airport and with all the commotion you’d expect, there he was. Happy. Engaging with anyone who paid attention to him. Trusting all of us with faith. What an angel. Calm. Not barking. His little tail wagging without a worry in the world. He adjusted to this new life like nothing happened. His personality shining through. He is so polite. He barks only at the call of other dogs in the neighbourhood and the sound of the kettle! We go for walks (his favourite) and he is very good on the leash. His first English word is kisses and you’ll receive plenty of them. He’s extremely smart. And so willing to please. He’s happy to sleep next to you. He doesn’t beg for food or treats. He’s just that kind of dog that eveyone loves. He is unbelievably positive! If you end up being his forever family, you won’t regret it. He is the perfect dog and perfect gentleman. Being a true love bug, you'll be thrilled with a pup like me.Rescued off the streets about 2-1/2 years ago, my rescuers say it is my turn to find a forever home.I was brought into a foster home in January so I can learn about being in a home environment. They are absolutely amazed at how well I am adapting to home life! Now I just need the family to go along with being a home body.Eager to be friends with everyone, including cats, dogs, and children, I am also playful and affectionate.One of the first things noticed when my rescuers found me, was that my teeth appeared to be worn down, almost as if they had been filed. The vet did a dental and said there are no problems, but that my teeth are just discolored and stained. It doesn't seem to affect me. Despite my past, I am an incredibly social and happy pup. I've even been told I am a sweet guy.I'm good at self entertaining at home, happily playing with my ball or toys when I get bored.  https://youtube.com/shorts/MwTJPgyeovM?si=W7AOwqNLxykzMcXvHowever, I would thrive best in a home with another dog or cat to keep me company.Might we be the perfect fit? The ultimate companions? I await your arms around me.Energy Level: moderateI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: yesKids: tbdFears: none observed.

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.[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 Heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmania and Anaplasmosis.
