About this Dog
Name: MaxiBreed: Spitz/border collieAge: 7 years Temperament: shy, eager to please, faithful, loyal, cuddlyGender: maleWeight: 33 lbs - Height: (ground to shoulder) 35 cm Energy level: moderate to lowHi, I'm Maxi! I was born in a small village in the Middle East, one of 12 puppies in a single litter. I was a quiet, shy puppy who was about to have a very short life as I wasn't the guard dog that the human in the home was expecting me to be. The nice people who adopted my sister, Ms. Maggie (she's also available for adoption), were persuaded to also adopt me (yay!) Once I saw that my sister was being treated with respect I began to feel more comfortable in my new home. I am still shy but I have stopped trying to hide as my new home has been pretty good...at least for a short while. Then all the humans left.For most of our 6 years together my sister and I were the only beings in a small house far away from any other people. I think the house was like a cabin to the family who had taken me in as they only came to be with Ms. Maggie and me on certain occasions. For the rest of the time, it was just the two of us. When the humans who owned us couldn't come to the cabin, a neighbour would throw food over the wall for us so that we could survive. It was safe for us to be there but it ws lonley and we received only occasional attention. There was nobody to comfort us when something would frighten us.Then everything changed again. The house/cabin we lived in was sold and my sister and I were allowed to stay in the outdoor area of a neighbour's house, the condition being that my humans still needed to come and feed us. Unfortunately, life circumstances have resulted in my humans no longer being able to come and feed us. My human dad who had been feeding us for so long told his wife that if she didn't have a plan for my sister and me, he would abandon us in the wilderness of my country. We would never survive as there are packs of roaming dogs who are not opposed to eating dogs like us who have never lived in the wild. We wouldn't last long out there!Then, my human mom contacted her sister in Canada and her sister contacted Loved At Last and, well,....I'm ready to be your sweetie! Both my sister and I are loving, eager to please, faithful, and very appreciative of cuddles. I would love a quiet home where I can receive the affection and care that I have longed for my whole life. My sister and I have been saved from death but we have not been embraced and loved like the true family members we want to be. If you would be interested in a shy guy with loads of love to give, I am definitely the dog for you!!There is still much that my Canadian auntie needs to find out about me but we already know that I'm good with kids (video below), I'm likely good with other dogs but I've not been around many so we aren't certain, and I'm probably not the best match for any creature that says "meow." I have no evident fears but it can be assumed that I will need a patient human to help me to adjust to life in Canada. I have a few lesah skills but I have never been indoors long enough to become housetrained so I will need help with that. (I'm a fast learner, especially when I'm loved!) I am neutered, immunized, and microchipped. My adoption fee is $750.00 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.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. You will NOT be charged a passenger fee in addition to this.

The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Maxi - (Mid-East) - sf, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Maxi - (Mid-East) - sf'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 Maxi - (Mid-East) - sf was not returned.

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.
