HISTORY: This is an incredible story and journey. Alex was rescued from high risk area in a nearby dessert (shootings/poisonings) and taken to a shelter with over 300 dogs in Bahrain near Qatar in the Mid East. We have been working with the ladies there that save the dogs, (it’s not always the dogs that are traumatized due to homelessness, cruelty, neglect, is also the humans with few resources and desperate to help dogs being killed or in huge shelters with little to no funding, hence, we support them wholeheartedly with the endeavours and feel very fortunate to be able to help a few each year whenever a Flight Escort is flying to Canada). Most the dogs in the Bahrain shelter never get a chance at a home since few to no one adopts from there. Dogs for the most part of mistreated and worse, not loved and cared for like N. America. Dogs are the best animals on earth, yet an entire population does not realize that. Alex spent till now, over 5 years in a hot-climate shelter. Alex was chosen to fly mostly due to how long she spent her life there and how much she is loved by the small volunteer staff.
TEMPERAMENT: Alex has the most special smile ever seen. You cant help but smile when see it. She is so genuine happy, she left a terrible place with no attention, no life, barren shelter full of hundred of dogs, to a wonderful foster home she is so grateful to be part of. Alex is so gentle and easy going.
PERSONALITY: Very friendly and sweet, loves human attention. She is so comfortable and loved in her foster home in Vancouver. Very well behaved. Not a barker. Quiet, well-mannered and easy to care for. She is very grateful and surprised when seeing nature, she loves it! Loves the lakes and streams!
BEST MATCH: Home with a yard, bigger the better would be nice. Or dog parks, lakes, the ocean, outings, hikes. Same all dogs love! Someone to take her to open place to run and go to lakes.
FAVORITE THINGS: Attention, going to the river. Being at home with her foster family and foster dog. She loves her new foster dog that has showed her the ropes. Water! She loves going in the ocean! Can you imagine, her life before, where there hardly were any trees, let along access to a lake or water anywhere!! She loves playing and running with other dogs her size. Water! She loves going in lakes and streams.
PLEASE NOTE: Alex is in a wonderful foster home in Vancouver.
