About this Dog
NOTE: My foster will be moving soon, so I could really use a home by early September. Thank you.Hi everyone, my name is Hickory. I am a gorgeous and very friendly 1 year, 62 lb shepherd mix who only arrived in Canada several months ago from the Middle East.My rescuer found me when I was only a month old lying in the road in the middle of the night. I was very thin, full of fleas and ticks and lethargic from near starvation. At any moment I could have been run over by a car. Thankfully, I was rescued before that happened, and before I starved to death, and taken to a shelter. There was no sign of my mother or siblings. It is thought they were all deliberately killed, as so often happens to dogs there, leaving me the lone survivor.I'm a very playful and sociable boy. I adore people and other dogs. Clever too, as us shepherds tend to be. In fact, my rescuer said that one of her usually very grumpy dogs, who didn't like other dogs, liked me and would play with me. Guess I've just got a winning personality. As you can see from my photos and videos I very much enjoy the company of other dogs. I am currently living in a foster home with another dog. Adjusting to my new life in Canada, I am learning a great deal on curbing my puppy enthusiasm. but am learning hiw to keep my excitement in check when seeing another dog, bird or squirrel. I walk well on leash and have good off leash recall, once bonded with you.In the shelter, I was never taught anything, so now that I have arrived, I have learned some manners. But when I do get a tas excited, foster mom just tells me no, so I stop.I used to be scared of cars and bicycles going by, not anymore. A trainer who worked with me says I will only continue to improve, as I settle in and feel safe.I could live with older kids, so long as they are well dog mannered and understand about safety to prevent escaping out a door/gate. While I have been exposed to a younger child recently with no issues, probably best to stick with older/bigger kids, due to my youthful bounciness yet. Wouldn't want to inadvertently knock over a little one. I have not been tested with cats and think it best to bypass those for now.I can live in a multi-dog home or singly. If there is another dog, hopefully they would be my guide & mentor, as I continue to learn about Canada. A moderately-active to active home would suit me well. I am not a high energy guy and am happy with a couple of good walks a day.Latest vids of me Jun '24: https://youtube.com/shorts/B61zTporbOg, https://youtube.com/shorts/GRq74dWA17M, https://youtube.com/shorts/Gy7WUfzYUdw, https://youtu.be/Q-qpJkEsEJ4, https://youtube.com/shorts/FB1n3r8gmBkEnergy Level: moderateI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unknownKids: yesTraining: leash work and house brokenLeash skills: some.

Help me to learn where to go in my new home.Health notes: I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.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.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.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.

Adopt HICKORY (local) sf/yo and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, HICKORY (local) sf/yo's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is HICKORY (local) sf/yo's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the HICKORY (local) sf/yo, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming HICKORY (local) sf/yo's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and HICKORY (local) sf/yo was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, HICKORY (local) sf/yo’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the HICKORY (local) sf/yo’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, HICKORY (local) sf/yo’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
