Please note potential additional costs for me to get to you near the bottom of my profile. Unfortunately, due to recently introduced regulations by the CDC, dogs from the Middle East can no longer be imported into the US. Therefore, this dog is only available to Canadian residents. Hi there! My name is AAVEEN and here is some info about me: Breed: Lab mix Age: 8 mo Gender: m Weight: 37 lb / 17 kg Height: 25 in / 63 cm When I was about two months old, a woman in the Middle East found me at her front door. She brought me inside her home and cared for me. Now that I am old enough, I am ready for a home of my own in Canada. Living here is not safe at all for dogs. I am a very friendly guy, who loves people, dogs of all sizes and even cats. Snuggling has always been big on my hit parade list: https://youtu.be/8STbdL0dTKI. I also like to follow my people around everywhere. I'm only a baby yet, so will still grow. Maybe I will be about a medium-lg size dog, 55-60 lb range perhaps. Being cleaned up is a breeze, see how good I am having my paws cleaned:  https://youtu.be/V6vs4p3Jmq4. Additional vids of me: https://youtu.be/we39bmZcsyI https://youtu.be/jEhljxUZAGM https://youtu.be/RUtyRH2OJ-A Energy Level: moderate Get along with: Dogs, yes Cats, yes Kids, unknown Prey drive: probably low, given I like kitties. unknown for squirrels, rabbits, etc... My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: unknown, none observed Training: none Leash skills, none. Will need patient training. House trained, no. Please be prepared to help me learn! 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 and should begin within a few days AFTER arrival. Check out courses in your local area and enrol right away. 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. Health notes: I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD + applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver. Due to ongoing limits on Vancouver flights yet, additional fees will apply if flying from another city. Unaccompanied Cargo costs within Canada: $275-$500 per dog. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs. I will be on the first available flight, as I need to leave the Middle East as soon as possible. If a flight directly to Vancouver is not found quickly after I've found a family, the extra cost for cargo to Vancouver from Montreal or Toronto will NOT be optional. If you would like to increase the chance of your dog coming sooner, the rescuer may be able to secure a cargo flight from the Middle East. This cost will likely be between $1200-3800 USD, dependent on size.

Hi there! My name is AIMEE and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Majorca Shepherd (Farm Dog)/Black Lab Mix Age: 11 months Gender: Female Weight: 35 lbs (16 kg) My rescuer thinks I'll max out around 40 lbs. RESCUE STORY: As a wee pup, I was found as a stray on the streets and was taken to the local kill shelter. I stayed there for too many months and was due to be euthanized. Thank goodness my rescuer came and saved me from death row! I was malnourished at first but I am in tip-top healthy shape now. I am currently living in a foster home where I am learning how awesome it is to be loved. TEMPERAMENT: I am a very smart and sweet puppy. I am eager to learn and want to please my people. I am a bit timid when I first meet humans and dogs but once I warm up, I am a social butterfly! I am loving and cuddly and social. Guarantee I will be a loyal, affectionate companion for my future family.  ENERGY LEVEL: Moderate - typical puppy energy  GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Unknown but likely OK with kids 8+  Dogs – YES! I currently live with multiple other doggies and we get along great.  Cats – Unknown  PREY DRIVE: UNKNOWN - My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. FEARS: I can be a bit afraid of new things. Based on my rough start to life, who can blame me? I have already come leaps and bounds with my confidence and I know I'll become more comfortable with time.  FOOD: I still eat my food very desperately; probably because of all I went through when living on the streets. Eventually, I will learn that I don't have to gobble everything down as if it’s my last meal! In the meantime, I should probably eat out of a "slow feeder bowl" and maybe be fed separately from any other dogs until I get over my fear of another dog stealing my kibbles. TRAINING: Leash skills – In progress!  House trained – In progress! I am learning to stand near the door to go potty outside. Please be prepared to help me continue to learn proper house-training manners in my new home. 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 and should begin within a day or two of arrival. After your dog has settled in, check out 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. HEALTH NOTES: I am spayed and I have received all my puppy vaccines. NOTE: Mexico dogs are not microchipped. ADOPTION FEE: My adoption fee is $750.00 CAD + applicable taxes, which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver. Dogs from Mexico typically arrive within 6-8 weeks of being approved for adoption. Mexico dogs fly into SEATTLE (not Vancouver). This necessitates a USA/Canada border transfer. We have been using a trusted Pet Transport company to escort the dogs from Seattle to South Surrey. This is an additional charge of $225/dog. All options will be discussed with you by the Mexico Rescue Coordinator. ------------------------------------- Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.

I will likely be sent to Canada via Montreal, which will entail the additional cost of cargo from Montreal to Vancouver. ANNA (Hanna) Breed: Lab/Border Collie Age: 7 months Gender: female Wgt/Hgt: 40 lbs / 18  inches Energy level: moderate Relations: good with dogs, not good with cats, unknown with kids Highlights: sweet and loves to play, accustom to wearing a collar Region: Middle East Anna here, also known as Hanna to my rescuer but there are too many pup’s named Hanna so we are switching it up! Normally when my fellow canines get rescued around here the rescuer finds them and saves them, but I was more proactive than the rest. I spotted a human who I knew was an angel and started following her everywhere, pleading for help with my best puppy-dog eyes and it didn't take much for her to take me in. I am an intuitive lady who knows what she wants.  I’m a happy girl who loves to play and have fun. I love getting attention and can’t wait to be petted all day long, with some breaks for hiking of course. I would very much prefer to live in a home with a fenced-in yard for me to play in but I might be able to handle the city condo life as long as you take me on lots and lots of adventures - please and thanks. If you ask me, I just know I’m going to be a great addition to your family. Want to give me a chance? Due to the ever-changing extenuating circumstances brought on by the Global Pandemic, we are struggling to transport dogs to Canada. I have been spayed, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD + applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.  If I am only acompanied as far as Montreal or Toronto, there will be an extra charge for the cargo flight from Montreal or Toronto to Vancouver, ranging from $250-$500 depending on the logistics. I will be on the first available flight, as I need to leave the Middle East as soon as possible. If my rescuer is only able to find a flight volunteer going as far as Montreal or Toronto, then the extra cost for cargo to Vancouver will not be optional.  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 potential additional costs for me to get to you near the bottom of my profile. Unfortunately, due to recently introduced CDC regulations, dogs from the Middle East can no longer be imported into the US. Therefore this dog is only available to Canadian residents. ANNETTE (Annie) You can call me little Miss Annie. As a very sweet and friendly, 3 year old, female, German Shepard & Anatolian mix, I am ready for my new home. My rescuers saved me along with my 6 puppies here in the Middle East. After a year in boarding all my puppies got sick and died. I've been at the shelter for 3 years now. I'm healthy and it's time to get out of here. My weight is 60 lbs and I stand 27 inches tall at the shoulders. So kind of a nice medium-large size, though maybe a tad leggy. I am good with other dogs and I like people. They give such good ear scratches. And kids are such a hoot. No knowledge of cats in my repertoire though. You can see in my video that I interact well with people loving me up. I'm a pretty mellow girl. I'd probably enjoy a not too overly exuberant family environment. Playing is a fun thing to do. I also like to go for walks and leisurely hikes. I hear there are some great places to sniff around in Canada and the Pacific NorthWest. More vids coming soon. I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $700.00 CAD + applicable taxes.

Handsome, hunh? My foot had been run over by a car when I was found. I lost a toe because of it. No worries, I have 15 others to help me walk. I have no trouble running and playing like everybody else. I am good with other dogs. I have been trainded and ready for new chapter of my life. Check my new video: https://youtu.be/QxvmgwUHmIA. Never lived around kids or cats, so no knowledge of how I might get along with them, but I like to learn about them so slow introduction makes me feel comfortabel to be around them.  I will need some additional basic training, as I am not yet house trained. I really haven't much been in a house. But, my intelligence should lend to quick learning. I am a very kind dog and I can be playful, so I hope you will enjoy teaching me some games. Of course, I am not opposed to just snuggling either though. See my contented look and smiley face in the photos? Sure hope you are ready to bring me into your home soon.

Hi there! My name is ASAL and here is some info about me: Breed: Australian Shepard / Saluki mix Age: 9 mo Gender: fe, spayed Weight: 20 kg Height: 60 cm Found with my brothers (Shooka and Dozzer) in the Middle East, our initial owner couldn't keep us. They wanted to euthanize us, but luckily we were saved just in time by a rescuer. Exploring. Who doesn't like that? I loves to explore everything and I mean EVERYTHING when I go for walks. My nise tells me so much about the world and what's going on. Although I get along with all dogs, I really like small dogs in particular. I prefer to approach dogs at my own pace, as I can get intimidated at first, if a dog approaches me first. Never aggressive though, just wary. Once the introductions are over and I am comfortable, it's all good. Great with adults and kids alike, I'm just hoping for a home that can guve me the love I an searching for... and a bed and a bone and a toy and... well, you get the picture. Oh a funny thing about me, I have a habit of staring at things. Kind of my zen time, I guess. I should be really good learning to focus for training. Energy Level: moderate Get along with: Dogs, yes - small dogs Cats, unknown Kids, yes Prey drive: unknown, not observed with cats, squirrels, rabbits, etc... My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: unknown, prefers to approach other dogs first in her time rather than them coming to her first. Training: none Leash skills, none. Will need patient training. House trained, no. Please be prepared to help me learn! Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives.

Hi, I'm Atom Ant, but you can call me Atom or Alex for short. I love my new adventure in Canada, I love food, treats, ear scratches, playing with my foster dad (the girls in the house think we're such bro's!) and just all together lounging around. Actually, I could have just said that I love life! It's so great that I get to enjoy this second part of my life, which will hopefully make the first terrible part a distant memory. My foster mom thinks I'm quite intelligent, always looking to sneak in a play, but I am also eager to learn and very eager to please! Not picky at all - you can easily use my dry pellets as motivation or training treats. I might seem like a bit of a goofball, but just strap on some wheels and I instantly transform into a prancing pony. The wheels are still new to me, but I took to it quite well and while we're doing short walks now, we're working on going a little bit further each time and sometimes I even add a short run if I feel up to it.  My hind legs have been amputated, but you wouldn't believe how fast I can scoot around the house and zoomie on my front legs. They have become super strong and I even have the balance to pick up my back end for short distances. I sure do love a  sniff around the house or the garden! My dream home would have an easily accessible large patch of grass to explore or a large room with lots of space - did I mention I'm a big guy? My foster sis, Koala, thinks I'm a bit of a chonky boy, but I just think there's more of me to love. Anyways my foster mom is keeping an eye on my diet and trying to keep it healthy. Now I know what you're thinking - how do I do my business - ahem - the number ones and twos? I can totally do this on my own, but my foster mom has also found it helpful to express my bladder in the morning, after lunch and just before bedtime. You'll have to ask her how she does it, but all I know is that I play along and get really nice ear scratch at the end of it. This, as well as a regular mealtime routine has really helped to minimize 'accidents' throughout the day and especially overnight! If you are looking for a companion who will be loyally at your side for all of it, sharing in your excitement, reminding you that there's more to life, look no further - I'm your guy!" Atom Ant (Alex) Breed: Anatolian Shepherd mix Age: 2 years Wgt/hgt: 66 lbs Gender: M, will remain intact Relations: Good with dogs/ unknown cats & kids Activity level: Moderate for cart dog.  Needs to lose a pound or two. Highlights: Rear disabled, sweet, good with other dogs, playful and friendly Region: Middle East I am a very sweet, young boy who was in dire need, as my shelter was closing down. Thankfully, a lovely person in Canada has offered to foster me, so I have finally made it here.  I was found with all my legs tied up with a rope and run over by a car. I endured hellish pain. Some rescuers stepped in and I underwent severe surgery enduring pain and hardship for several months, but I was still able to recover. So, I was kept at a place after surgery, but because of improper care, I was hospitalized. I was then taken to my current shelter. It is extremely difficult to find homes for able bodies dogs, let alone one paralyzed. If a place for me had not been found, they feared they would have to euthanize me. Such a shame after so much was done to save me. Now, I have a chance at a new life. Though alas, I am paralyzed forever and my back legs have been amputated, which took a load off me, but I can never play like other dogs... I have so much love to give and cuteness of personality to show you. You may think it may be sad for me to be disabled, but it is just the way my life is and I enjoy being alive and able to share my love of life with others. LALDR will provide a cart for me once I am in my new home, so I can learn to zip around like Lightning McQueen, Mario Andretti, Speedy Gonzales, Usain Bolt... Hahaa.   My adoption fee is $500.

Attention: I have a flight volunteer that can take me to Vancouver on Oct/10/2021 if I can find an adopter by then  Name: AVA (Raha) Breed(s): Husky/Saluki Age: 4 years old Gender: Fe, spayed Wgt/Hgt: 60 lb / 23-1/2 in Activity level: average/normal Relations: good with dogs (kids too, though no video yet) / not good with cats Highlights: playful, happy, desires all the attentio I’d love to become the next pup-star in a forever home in Canada; I’m a playful girl who’s super ready to get on the spotlight of your life. You might’ve read your fair share of dramatic celebrity stories and this one is no different. I’m originally from the Middle East, and here stray dogs don’t have the best luck. I wasn’t having a good time on the streets when my wonderful agent (another amazing girl), aka rescuer, found me and took me to the hospital to receive the medical attention I desperately needed. I had been beaten up by truly awful humans and as a result, the vet said, I had a couple of broken bones and was in a lot of pain, which explained why I was crying for help when my agent discovered (rescued) me. After successfully undergoing a surgery, my lovely agent was super kind and once again lent me a helping hand. I stayed with her for a couple of weeks until I fully recovered and was ready to go back with my kind, other pup-stars; then I was transferred to the shelter where I’m staying now. I live with a bunch of other nice dogs with whom I play daily and have a cool time. But as a very versatile performer, I’m not only good with dogs; in fact, I love spending time with humans too. They’re probably my favorite audience! (I haven’t figured out how to interact with cats yet, so I’d rather stay away from them). Everything was going great. I had a place to stay and friends to hang out with, but I felt sick again. I was taken to the vet; this time it was something called intestinal obstruction, and I had to enter the operating room once more. I’m a very resilient girl, you know? As most struggling artists must be to make it in this business, I stayed strong and now I’m totally okay. However, the poor diet I was following (leftover and bones) while on the streets proved to be damaging to my stomach. For this reason, the doctor says I’ll need to stay on a healthy diet (high-fiber food and no bones or things like that) for the rest of my life to avoid having the same issue again. But hey, it’s not like it’d be super hard, right? It’s a good way to stay in shape anyway. I’m good with dogs and enjoy playing and having fun with them and all sorts of activities, but there’s something that bothers me meeting new friends… As any sensitive artist, I like being the center of attention. So, I tend to feel sad and a little depressed when I’m not the one receiving the entire spotlight. Maybe that’s why I’m sometimes misunderstood as jealous, but the truth is I only want all the affection and love I can get. I mean, I’ve spent a long time without it, so I think it’s only fair I’m the one receiving all the cuddles and kisses available. My agent thinks that I’d be better in a home with no other pets to avoid any misunderstanding and let my creative soul shine. At least in the beginning. Don’t get me wrong, I can spend time with other pets, male dogs are the coolest, but the introduction needs to be slow and patient. I need to make sure they’re not after my spotlight, so I can feel safe and let my lovely personality fully out. I’m a completely healthy and vibrant-spirited artist now, so I can enjoy life as any other dog would. All I’m waiting for now is to find my forever home. I’ve been lucky to meet great people and dog friends since I was found, and I’m pretty sure I’ve collected memories to write a memoire at any time, like some of my fellow artists, but I still feel like the most important chapters are waiting ahead, would you help me with them for the years to come? I’m so ready to get the main role I’ve been waiting for my whole life, as the beloved dog in a wonderful family. Ready to be the life-agent of the sweetest pup-star and prepare to star in a show that will transcend time? My adoption fee is $650.00 CAD + applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver. Due to the ever-changing extenuating circumstances brought on by the Global Pandemic, we are struggling to transport dogs to Canada. Please note that additional fees may apply (beyond the adoption fee) in order to get your dog to you. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs and will ask for your approval before any travel arrangements are made. The following are some examples of possible, non refundable, additional costs (note, these are estimates only and are subject to change): USA/Canada border transfer (via a Brokerage Company): $470 for 1 dog, $275/dog if 2 dogs are transported at the same time. Unaccompanied Cargo costs within Canada: $275-$475 per dog Unaccompanied Cargo costs overseas: $1,500-$3,700 per dog Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.

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 potential additional costs for me to get to you near the bottom of my profile. Unfortunately, due to recently introduced CDC regulations, dogs from the Middle East can no longer be imported into the US. Therefore this dog is only available to Canadian residents. Unfortunately, due to recently introduced CDC regulations, dogs from Middle East can no longer be imported into the US. Therefore, Belfi is only available to Canadian residents. Due to current travel restrictions related to COVID-19, there may be a long delay before I can get to you. Please only apply for me if you are prepared to wait. Hello every-paw-dy!  My name is BELFI and here is some information about me: BREED: Maltipoo Mix AGE: 2 years GENDER: Male, neutered WEIGHT/HEIGHT: 11 lbs / tbd I was born somewhere in the Middle East and was taken from my mom when I was just a tiny puppy. The family I was given to kept me locked in a small, dark room with no one checking on me for days at a time. I could hear people outside my door but nobody wanted to talk to me. I spent my days lonely, thirsty, hungry and very scared. Occasionally, the door would open and someone would throw me a piece of dry bread for me to eat. One day, when the door opened, I got really excited and ran out. If I had known what was going to happen next- I would have thought twice! I was grabbed by the leg and tossed out the second floor window. The nightmare wasn’t over yet- the man who threw me grabbed me from the street and took me back to the dark room. I was in so much pain and some days wished I hadn’t survived the fall. I remember him taking photos of me, but I had no idea why. Then, when I was ready to quit all together, the door opened and there she was- my rescue mom! She had seen a post advertising me for sale. One look at my photo and she knew I needed help. My rescue mom took me straight to the hospital and they found I had three broken legs. I had to have surgery right away! They fixed two of my legs but one of my back legs was badly damaged. Here's me being held during my recovery: https://youtu.be/eCWad7JjBLc I still have my leg, but it’s a tiny bit shorter than the rest of my legs. I have a limp, but  it doesn’t stop me from living life to the fullest! Long story short, against all odds, I made it! Now, my dream is to find a loving home with my forever family, preferably with a yard I can call my own. I can be shy at first, but if you give me time to get to know you I am a very cuddly and affectionate boy. I love belly and head rubs! I am also smart and eager to learn. Here's me drinking from a faucet: https://youtu.be/QGh9jGE-Ge8 I do not like being confined to a crate. It brings back not-so-happy memories. I enjoy walks, roaming around the yard, car rides and cuddling up with my human after a long day. Here's me on the go: https://youtu.be/_mg3G43ooWo ENERGY LEVEL:  Moderate GETS ALONG WITH: Dogs- YES (see video) Cats- unknown Kids- unknown PREY DRIVE: None, not observed with cats, squirrels, rabbits, etc... My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. FEARS: I am not very fearful; I am a brave little guy! TRAINING: Leash Skills: Work in progress! I am good on leash, but I am not ready to walk off-leash! House trained: Unknown. I know how to pee on a pad and sometimes outside. Be prepared to help me master peeing outside 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 and should begin within a day or two of arrival. After your dog has settled in, check out 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. HEALTH NOTES: I have been neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. I have a little limp but it does not stop me from being the happy dog I am. My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD + applicable taxes, which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver. Due to ongoing limits on Vancouver (YVR) flights, additional fees will apply if I have to fly through another city. Unaccompanied Cargo costs within Canada range from $275-$500 per dog (size depending). LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs. NOTE: once I find a family, I will be on the first available flight out of the Middle East seeing as I need to leave here ASAP! If a direct flight to Vancouver is not immediately available, the cost to fly me via unaccompanied cargo from Montreal/Toronto to Vancouver will not be optional. If you would like to increase the chance of me coming sooner, my rescuer may be able to secure a cargo flight from the Middle East. This cost will likely be between $1200-3800 USD, dependent on size.  Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.

Unfortunately, due to recently introduced CDC regulations, dogs from the Middle East can no longer be imported into the US. Therefore this dog is only available to Canadian residents. BENJIE (Brigitte) Breed: Aidi mix (Atlas Shepard dog) Gender: fe, spayed Age: 4 years old Wgt/Hgt: 44 lbs/almost 25-1/2 inches Relations: Good other dogs/good with kids (per policy)/ unknown cats Activity Level: Moderate to moderate-high Highlights: Loves people, food motivated (great for training), calm temperament Region: Middle East Sometimes bad things happen that lead to wonderful opportunities... that is my story. I was involved in a serious car accident here in the Middle East and the people who found me thought it best to put me down, as my treatment would be too costly, but lucky for me there were others willing to step in and help with the surgery costs. But my story does not end there. It was not long before they came to learn I also had parvovirus. Things did not look good for me, but I am a survivor and after months of care I was finally strong enough to undergo the extensive surgery I needed. The surgeon had very little hope I would walk again, but again I amazed them! With physiotherapy and lots of love, I was able to regain the use of my legs quite well, if I may say so myself. You may note a touch of a drag in my back leg a bit, but it certainly doesn't effect me or slow me down. Check out my videos. https://youtu.be/qaFU1lT28HE. Then I was running too https://youtu.be/KwmvoM9yLPs. When I was living on the street food was scarce, so now I will eat and eat and eat ... I am very food motivated. Bet you could use that to your advantage to teach me lots of tricks.  Next to food my favourite thing is tummy rubs and will drop whatever I am doing to get one of those! I am a people pleaser and love all of you two legged creatures... especially the youngsters - I very much enjoy playing with children. Other dogs used to scare me a bit, but now I am fine with them, big or small. No one is 100% sure how I will react to cats, as there are none here at my new foster, but one of the rescue volunteers remembers me during my time on the street and never once witnessed any aggression by me towards the cats that approached my food. I have encountered cats on my walks with my foster and I do pull, but it is thought it is out of curiousity, not aggression. https://youtu.be/690U-kbYCEM. The lock down was hard on everyone. But at my foster, I blossomed into a healthy happy dog with a calm temperament full of love for everyone. My foster thinks I am just the sweetest dog around.  I started having infection & pain issues. It was determined defective metal was used during my surgery. I had another surgery and the vets removed the bad metals and replaced them with the proper titanium ones. I am now in little to no pain. Due to several surgeries though, my skin is not healing well (not closing properly.) The vet team is going to be doing laser treatment to help. Once the scar situation is resolved there is nothing more needed for my medical condition. I am gaining weight now and becoming more playful day by day. Not quite ready to travel yet though, but soon hopefully. I just had my first physiotherapy for my back leg to gain additional strength. Stay tuned for further updates.  Check out the new video above (top one) of me playing and this one too https://youtu.be/WlaqkCC32xE. If it weren't for the slick tiles (I'm still building strength), I'd be giving those other guys a run for their money. Now it is time for a new chapter, the one that has lead me here... one I hope, involves a forever home in Canada with you !  I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $700.00 CAD + applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada if a flight is found direct to Vancouver. Due to limits on Vancouver flights yet, additional fees may apply if flying from another city. Unaccompanied Cargo costs within Canada: $275-$500 per dog.
