Update: I am now living in Greater Vancouver in a household with other dogs as well as humans. I just love it here on the west coast!! My skills are coming along beautifully. Even though I had a challenge feeling comfortable with one of the adults in my first home, I am now getting along with everybody in my current foster home!! I am much more confident and my foster mom has taught me so much cool stuff about coming when I'm called, leash skills, and other important dog stuff. Even though I love my foster home, I am also looking forward to being adopted into my forever family with both human and canine members of course. I just love to play with my canine siblings! Given my age and size, I think it's best if there are no young children in my adoptive home.  Hi there! My name is AAVEEN (Avin) and here is some info about me: Breed: Lab mix Age: 1 year Gender: m Weight: 37 lb / 17 kg Height: 25 in / 63 cm HISTORY: 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.

Hi everyone. My name is ABIGAIL and here is a little info about me: Breed: Anatolian Shepherd Age: 9 months Gender: female Weight: 20 kg Height: 70 cm Rescued when I was just 10 days old from an addict. He was keeping me in a dark and dingy bathroom. When they saved me, they noticed that one of my legs was broken. No one knows what happened, but they are assuming that it had something to do with the addict that was keeping me. I like to say he was keeping me hostage, because that is what it felt like. My leg unfortunately could not be saved and they had to amputate it. However, that missing a leg has not hindered me from living a normal life. Though the early days of my life were not so bright, I am currently living the sweet life with a wonderful foster family. I am hoping that when I move to Canada, I will be able to get a prosthetic, which will help me run around and play easier. Because I sure like to play! I also enjoy getting cuddles from my human. I absolutely love those! I basically have all the good traits that dogs have and then some! I would make a great addition to any family! I am good with kitties too, that's an added plus. Energy level: moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: yes Kids: most likely yes, no video proof yet, but I am super sweet and gentle Prey drive: none observed, but adopter needs to be willing to train me should these behaviors arise. Fears: none observed, I have been brought up to have high self-esteem. Training: some, I know my name very well. I also know the word “no”. I’ve got to say though, it’s not my favorite word! Leash training: not so much. Please be prepared to train me. Housetrained: I am housetrained, but I sometimes have accidents inside the house yet. Please help me learn where to go in my new home. Health notes: My front leg is amputated. I have been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped My adoption fee is 750.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a fight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

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.

This is the application that you should use if you are looking to apply to foster a dog AND ARE NOT planning to adopt.  Foster homes are one of the most important parts of any dog rescue. Without these homes, we wouldn't be able to rescue as many dogs as we do.  Our greatest need is for foster volunteers who have dog experience. We often have foster dogs that require some kind of behavioural training, or have medical needs, so if you have experience in either of these areas please apply now. Fostering is agreeing to take a dog into your home, temporarily, while the rescue is receiving and reviewing applications for adoption.   What does it cost? As a foster home, we can provide you with food, collar, leash. We will also cover any vet bills, but please speak to your foster coordinator before taking the dog to the vet unless its an emergency What if I can only foster a small dog? We will work with the limitations of our foster homes. If you are asked to foster a dog that is too big, please just let us know and we will look for another home. We are always looking for foster homes that can accomodate big dogs. What if I only want to foster a puppy? Puppies are usually very easy to adopt and often don't need fostering. Please consider an older dog that could be even more fun! What if I want to adopt? If your intent is to adopt a dog, you will need to submit an adoption application for review.  I only want to foster a specific dog. If you want a specific dog and only that dog, we recommend that you apply to adopt. International dogs are not normally available for fostering as we try to only bring them here if an approved adopter has been found. We really need more experienced foster homes and appreciate you reading this posting. I hope that you consider opening your heart and your home to help a dog in need. The love and care that you can provide for even a short period, will make a huge difference in the life of a dog.

Hi there! My name is Alfie and I moved to Canada on May 18th, currently living at my great foster in Vancouver and here is some info about me: Breed: Dutch/Lab mix Age: 8 months Gender: Male Weight: 27 kg  Hello lovely humans, I’m here to tell you more about me. I was born in a small Middle East. I remember when I was only weeks old, someone came and took me and my other siblings from my mom. I remember it was really difficult for us and we were all crying because we wanted our mommy. I remember that horrible person had cut out our ears and it was blood everywhere. 2 of my siblings died from bleeding and weakness. One day I tried to escape but then I was attacked by a motorcycle and my right leg got broken really bad. Someone on the neighborhood called authorities to come and take me and kill me but there was this nice lady who you can also see on my vid saved my life. It was like a miracle, and I never forget her kindness. She then called a rescue group to come and help me. A kindhearted person came and took me to hospital for surgery. It took my couple of months to feel much better but now I am fully recovered and in Vancouver, can't wait to explore all the fun stuff.  I am a boy with full of energy. I love all humans but sometimes afraid of some men, slow introductions would be great. Now that I am in Vancouver, my amazing foster takes me to parks and I do really great with other dogs the only thing is I sometimes feel overwhelmed with couple of dogs come close to me, still trying to settle to new environment cause where I used to be I never could go to park and meet other dogs, I was always locked up in a room at shelter so I need some time to adjust to my current amazing life!  I am open to training and love to learn all the tricks you can teach me. I am not house trained obviously since I never lived in a home but my foster is really happy about me showing and going toward door when I need to do business :)  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!

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. I have been, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. Due to my age, I will be spayed once I'm with my family in vancouver.  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.Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters.

Hiya there. My name is ALICIA and here is a little info about me: Breed: Golden Retriever/German Shepard mix Age: 4 (4.5) yrs Gender: female Weight: 31 kgs Height: 65 cm A rescue team in the Middle East received a call about a 3 legged dog running around a vet clinic with other dogs were bullying her. That dog was me. People were feeding us, but I could not get food, because the other dogs were chasing me away. The people reported that I would not be able to survive due to the harassment from the other dogs. So the rescue team went out and picked me up. I have been at the shelter for 3 years now. It is time I find my rightful home. One of my rear legs is missing around the knee. I can stand and sit on my hip, so t ht e vet did not want to amputate further up. An absolute angel girl the shelter calls me. I am very friendly. They say sweet as candy. My temperament is calm, quiet and happy. I am very nice with other dogs and enjoy being around people's kids/families that visit the shelter. I do not shiw any behavioral issues whatsoever, despite whatever happened to me and my time on the streets. It seems I may have had training or a home before, as I am quite well behaved. I would love to live the rest of my life as the queen of the house. Big smile. I still enjoy activity, but would love the hours snuggling too. Energy Level: moderate to moderate-low I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown Kids: yes Prey drive: unknown/not observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: none Leash skills: no. Please be prepared to train me. House trained: Yes or No. Please be prepared to help me learn!

Please note potential additional costs for me to get to you near the bottom of my profile. I have been waiting to get adopted for over 2 years now :( Name: Amy (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. https://youtu.be/L8J0I1YZVak  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.

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.

Some heartless people put us inside sack and left us by garbage bin to die. We were lucky that she found us, but we had absolutely no energy and almost death from dehydration and hunger. She took us to hospital and later vet found out we have a leg deformation, and this seems to be genetic. This deformity is not stopping us to be happy and run around, we were lucky to survive and here we are all happy full of energy and ready to start our new life in Canada! https://youtu.be/SBIdcgJthf8 I’m a very happy little girt that love to play, I’m a bit shy at first but in no time I find my way to stole any person’s heart, just need to feel safe around people. My sister is very similar to me as well, we are very connected and like to be adopted by one family, we can not be separated. Our energy level is high, and we love to play all the time. We like to be only pets at your home because we love your attention. We are good with other dogs and not too sure about cats.

Breed: German Shepherd mix Age: 2 yr Gender: fe, spayed Wgt/Hgt: 55 lbs / 22 inches Energy level: moderate Relations: great with dogs once comfortable with them, good with kids, not good with cats  Highlites: playful, tripaw, joyful, very affectionate, independent Hi everyone, my name is Annie Oakley. I am a beautiful and very happy girl, but that hasn't always been true for me. I used to live in the Middle East where at the very tender age of eight months I became pregnant. I was much too young to become a mother and all my puppies died. In addition my rear leg had been badly damaged, probably from being hit by a car. In the country I come from, dogs are considered vermin and people often deliberately hit us with their cars in an attempt to kill us. The wounds became badly infected and I was in terrible pain by the time I was finally rescued. The vet I was taken to wasn't able to save my leg and it had to be amputated. Despite this I am very mobile and can easily climb stairs. I can't go on long hikes but normal length walks are perfect for me.  I am a very loving and affectionate girl who has a real love of life. I enjoy the company of other dogs once I trust them and currently live happily with several dogs of all sizes. However, it takes me a few visits for me to feel safe with other dogs. So it is difficult for a potential adopter to take the time I need to get me familiar with their dog. So a home without another dog is best for me. I am happy being the only dog in the home as my true love is people. I have the cutest habit of splaying my front legs out wide when I want you to play with me. And if you pet me and stop and I want some more, I will wrap my front legs around yours to trap you and keep you with me. Adorable, right?  I am a really easy dog to care for, and to love. I very much enjoy being outside so a fenced yard is important to me. Because of my distrust of dogs I don't know, I am reactive to other dogs when walked on leash, so it would be best if I was walked where I won't run into a lot unfamiliar dogs.  A trainer who has worked with me is confident that the more exposure to unfamiliar dogs I get, the more relaxed I will be with them. Unfortunately my foster mom isn't able to give me that exposure as she lives with several dogs on five fenced acres which is where we do our walking and exploring. The good part is that even though I am reactive on walks towards unfamiliar dogs, I can't pull hard on the leash due to my missing rear leg so I am easy to control.  While I am a joyful soul, I am not at all hyper or high energy. At home, I am very calm and relaxed. My favourite thing to do is lie on my bed, chewing on a marrow bone or a chew stick. There is no way you could be unhappy with me around.  I am spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is $700 plus applicable taxes* Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza.

Please, please don’t pass me by, because it says “special needs”.  I am so much more than that.  After reading my story, you will see what a brave little pup I am. 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 [China/Middle East] can no longer be imported into the US. Therefore [dog] is only available to Canadian residents. Hi There my name is Aram and here is some information about me:  Breed: Tibetan/Chihuahua mix Age: 7 years old Gender: Female Weight: 10 lbs Like many female dogs in the Middle East, I was used for breeding.  When I became too old to have puppies, my horrible owner put me in a stable with horses.  I am such a tiny dog and those horses were so big, it was very frightening. My worst fears came true when, one day, I was accidentally kicked by a horse. It left me with an injured spine  and my back legs would not work. That horrible man took me to the vet, but would not pay for my treatment. Luckily the vet refused to let me go. My amazing rescuer heard about my story, paid for my treatment and brought me home to live with her. She has looked after me so well, but she is busy looking after 200 dogs at her shelter, so I need to find a forever family to care for me. The name ‘Aram’ means calm in my local language, and that totally describes me. I feel so lucky to be alive; I appreciate everything. Even though I have been through terrible things, I remain full of joy and happiness. I love being with hoomans and enjoy playing with my doggie pals.  Although I can’t use my back legs, I am otherwise healthy. The best home for me would be one with a loving family, who has time to help me. If you have a small, gentle dog, I know we would be best friends.This is not necessary; I am perfectly fine having all the attention lavished on me. Not sure about cats or kids though. Sadly, I have never had a chance to meet them. I know my needs are more than other dogs, but I will give you love, love, love if you bring me home.  I hear that Canada is a great place for dogs. Perhaps you will give this precious little soul a chance. Energy level: moderate  Gets along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown Kids: Yes and vids to come. Prey drive: Unknown, adopter needs to be willing to trade me should these behaviors arise Fears: Despite eveything that happened to me a happy girl who loves to be around all humans!  Training: I am house trained however due to my condition I need your help to put me on my potty location Leash training: Due to my condition I usually stay home or at the balcony so I was never been on leash House trained: Yes as per above 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.

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. Health notes: I am paralyzed. I have been not been neutered but I am vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is $650 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a fight volunteer directly to Vancouver.  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 am so full of joy, I will bring you laughter and amusement daily. Found writhing and whining in pain by a good Samaritan who works at a shelter in the streets of a major city in the Middle East. He and his friend took me to a pet hospital immediately. They decided that I needed to have spinal surgery to ease the pain. I am currently fully recovered. Surely you are looking for a good-natured, talkative, friendly goofball like me. I really hope you will consider having me joining your family. I would make a great addition to any home. See, even good with kids https://youtu.be/TaMqG72rFcc.

Don't worry, it hasn't changed my lovely attitude. A new video of me cart racing. LOL. https://youtu.be/9QYwmXpsZwM. I am good with: dogs: yes cats: yes kids: yes Energy level: moderate 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: none observed.  She is a very well-ajusted puppy Training: working on basic commands Leash training: in progress. Housetrained: yes,  I will let you know when I need to go by vocalizing it. I will need a wheelchair to be able to move around though. I may have a few accidents in my new home until I am used to your schedule, but I try hard not to slip up.

I am recovering well. My rear legs have been amputated. I have been vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is 650.00 CAD. 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.
