About this Dog
Hello beautiful people! I am Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Here is some info you need to know about me. Breed: Anatolian Shepherd Age: 3 yrs Gender: femaleHeight: 60 cm Weight: 40 kgCountry of Origin: Middle EastHighlights: calm, mellow, friendly, food motivated, loyalI’m a three-year-old sweetie who has been living at this shelter since I was just a year old puppy. Yep, you read that right—I’ve been here 2/3 of my whole life, waiting for my forever home. I might be a bit on the chubby side (okay, maybe more than a bit!), but that just means there’s more of me to love!I’m the definition of mellow. I’m not extremely active—running around and chasing things isn’t really my style. I’d much rather find a cozy spot to nap or enjoy a nice snack.I love food—maybe a little too much—but who can blame me? Treats are the best!I’m super friendly and love people. I’ll happily hang out with you, whether you want to go for a leisurely walk or just relax together. And if you’re into cuddling, I’m your perfect match! I’ve got plenty of warmth and affection to share, and I’m always up for snuggling on the couch.I also get along really well with other dogs. I’m not the jealous type; I’m just happy to be part of the pack. So, if you’re looking for a laid-back, cuddle-loving companion who doesn’t need a lot of exercise, I’m your girl! I’ve been waiting patiently for someone to take me home—could it be you?Energy level: moderate to lowI get along with:Dogs: yes Cats: unknown Kids: unknownPrey Drive: non-observed, however, my adopter needs to be willing to train me should these behaviors rise.Fears: I am definitely not afraid of much. I will just need patience to get used to my new environment.Training: some Leash training: yes. I walk well on leash. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: no. Please help me learn. I have been in the shelter my whole life.Health notes: I have been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.My adoption fee is 800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. While our rescuers always seek a flight without a charge, there is the possibility of a passenger fee, to a max of $300.We encourage 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.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 charged a passenger fee in addition to this.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.[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 receive 4D SNAP tests - which include: Heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmania and Anaplasmosis.

Adopt ATHENA (Mid-East) LF and Receive ATHENA (Mid-East) LF's Fund
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, ATHENA (Mid-East) LF's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is ATHENA (Mid-East) LF's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the ATHENA (Mid-East) LF, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming ATHENA (Mid-East) LF's contribution 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 contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. 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 ATHENA (Mid-East) LF was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, ATHENA (Mid-East) LF’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the ATHENA (Mid-East) LF’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, ATHENA (Mid-East) LF’s balance will remain in our general 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!
