Halloooo. My name is ABBEY (Abby) and here is a little info about me: Breed: Lab/Canaan Dog mix Age: 3-1/2 yrs Gender: female Weight: 30 kg Height: 65 cm Highlight(s) about dog: playful, shy but sweet, entertaining, affectionate Though calm, I can sometimes feel a bit anxious and get nervous. I am kind of shy, but also clever. I just need time to get to know you, so I feel safe. I'm really quite bright, so once I figure out everything is okay, I learn well & quickly. My siblings & I were found near someone's house when we were only 2 months old. Our rescuers took us to the shelter for our safety. I have been awaiting the chance for my turn to come up to find a home. You will enjoy my entertaining nature. I'm good at bringing a smile to people's faces. I am a very faithful girl, who will bond well & show great affection to my family, once I feel secure. I am good with other dogs: https://youtu.be/Isdu8SxiUJM. Cats & kids have not yet been in my repertoire. A somewhat mellow home would suit me best. Not a great deal of commotion would help me settle faster. I'd still love to get out and have fun though. Sniffing around is a great adventure. Ready to head your way, just tap that adopt button and you're on your way to getting me there. Energy Level: moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown Kids: unknown Fears: Bit shy at first, unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: nine Leash skills: no. Please be prepared to train me. House trained: no. Please be prepared to help me learn! Health notes: I have been spayed/neutered, 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 flight 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. 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. 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. show less

Sept/22 UPDATE: Hello fellow Canadians! I have been living here for a year and a half. My adopter is rehoming me as she wants me to be happy. She sees how wonderfully happy I am when I go to doggy daycare with all my friends and then she also sees how sad I look when I return home. I think I need an adopter with at least one other dog with whom I can play and sniff together. I'm getting excited just thinking about it! My rehoming adopter has no concerns about my behaviours, just my feelings about being the only dog in the household. Hey you other dogs....can you persuade your humans to take in just one more wonderful family member. I promise to reward them with appreciation and smiles! HISTORY: Do you have a quiet home you could share with a timid little dog? A place where I could gain confidence as I get to know what it's like to be loved? My name is Abigail (note: the video's show me as Hanna). I'm a three year old jindo mix of 29lb and 18 inches tall. In March of 2019 I was rescued, along with 64 other dogs, from a dog meat farm in Beolgyo, S.Korea. It was a huge rescue operation conducted by KAWA (Korean Animal Welfare Association), along with 4 other rescue teams. They removed us from cramped wire cages that were open to the wind and rain, where we had been forced to eat food waste and drink putrid water. When I first arrived at the shelter I was very scared and would often spin in circles, a common behaviour seen in animals who have been caged a long time. I still do this, especially when I'm in new situations that make me nervous, but once you start petting me and speak in a gentle voice, I stand still and allow the touching to continue.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw44nJuPhpw&list=PL3UlJJYID8eE0KqgX-spdT4Cb9EAAy0u9&index=1 When I get to know someone and start to feel comfortable, as I do now with my caretaker, my spinning drastically diminishes.  At first it was tricky to even get the leash on me because I was spinning and the leash would get tangled. Now I know her and will stand still while the leash is attached and will walk confidently with my tail held high, as long as we are in familiar places. Once we venture into new territory I still become nervous though. When I come home with you, please be extra careful not to let go of the leash or I could easily get spooked and run off.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiGzs-EkYfs&list=PL3UlJJYID8eE0KqgX-spdT4Cb9EAAy0u9&index=9 If you're patient with me you will be rewarded by seeing my affectionate nature reveal itself. Now, with my caretaker I will sometimes nudge her hand to let her know I'd like to be petted please. Around dogs I am far more confident and will happily approach with my tail wagging in invitation to be friends. Once I get to know another dog I love to play and wrestle with them, but if the dog isn't interested then I am quite respectful and will leave them alone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg4twwXLR2w&list=PL3UlJJYID8eE0KqgX-spdT4Cb9EAAy0u9&index=6 The staff seem to think I showed a little too much interest in the cats outside to recommend I share a home with one. I'm one of those dogs who has noticeable dew claws. They will need to be kept short so that they don't get caught in things. My claws have recently been trimmed and my teeth cleaned, so I'm all ready for my new home.  All I need now is to find one.    I am spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee of $650 + tax, includes my airfare to Vancouver or Seattle. Owing to the new hotel quarantine rules for international arrivals in Canada, it has become more difficult to find flight volunteers to bring dogs to Vancouver. It could take a couple of months to bring your dog here.  If you would like to increase the chance of your dog coming sooner (on average within 4 weeks), then the rescuer may be able to find a flight volunteer to Seattle. However, this necessitates the use of a private customs brokerage company to bring the dog across the border and there is an additional fee associated with this: PACIFIC CUSTOMS BROKERS charge a fee of between $190 to $270 per dog, depending on the number of dogs crossing at one time. This fee is separate to your adoption fee. You will be asked if you are interested in using the Seattle option upon approval of your application.   Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website,  http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/  and to read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.    Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters.

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.

Hey, Hey, Hey.  My name is AHOO and here is some info about me. Breed: Spitz / Jack Russe Age: 15 months Gender: Female Weight: 7.5kg Height: (ground to shoulder) 34cm Found tied to a tree, my rescuers think the owners abandoned me because I was in heat. Well, I’m now ready to find a loving home with you. I am a cute pup with lots of energy, so I need a family willing to give me plenty of exercise and playtime. Playing fetch is the best, and I’m very good at bringing back the ball. I’ll even let you know when it’s time to play. When it’s time for a walk, I get very excited. Then my curiosity takes over, and I love to explore my environment. I am very fond of fruit and special snacks, so I bet I’ll  be easy to train.  At bedtime, I like to sleep near my hooman so I feel safe. I know things will be easier when I am in my forever home. You can see from my vids that I am comfortable around other dogs, but I’m happy being your only companion too.  If you do have another dog, I need to eat separately from them as I will try and stick my head into their food bowl (I know, not very smart!!). Unfortunately, I would prefer to chase a cat, rather than be their friend, but perhaps I could learn to live with one over time. I have no problems with children as you can see in my vid. I just love the attention. I know I’m a busy pup, but I’m sure there is a family out there who will embrace my exuberance and fun personality.  Living in the MIddle East is not fun for dogs like me, and I can’t wait to find my new home in Canada.

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: 10 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.

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! Health notes: I am a Tripaw missing my lower left rear leg. I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is $650.00 CAD plus 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: $375-$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.

Age:  almost 9 years old        Housetrained: absolutely      Energy level: moderate       Needs to be the only dog in his home.   Breed:  lab cross   Weight:  46 lbs Hi there! My name is Alley and I am an amazing dog if I do say so myself. I am relaxed at home and can hunker down for a looong nap after a good walk... (zzzzz).  I certainly do enjoy being the only dog in the household as I so appreciate human attention and kindness. I am a guy who likes my neighbourhood walks. Hey, with a name like Alley, that was obvious, eh?! I love my walks with plenty of sniffing and lots of catching up on local dog news. I am respectful of human possessions but I do like my own basket of sticks to chew on. Your shoes, yoga props, delicate plants, and other personal items are definitely safe around me! Another thing I like to do is to search for hidden treats. My foster mom says that I am an expert at making them shower out of a stuffed item, like a kong toy. I do have a few struggles to maintain my calm when I am approached by strangers as well as dogs I don't know. I have made great strides, however, and I so appreciate my amazing support team who have been helping me with this, including two super skilled dog walkers, a great, great trainer, as well as others, all wanting to see me thrive. I am working on remaining calm and carrying on when out and about amongst strangers and dogs. Due to my bite history, when feeling threatened and unsure, I am very agreeable to wear a muzzle outside and if there are new people in close proximity. My support team says that I am well on my way to becoming a calm, confident dog and that I am building positive coping strategies for life in my forever home. Ideally, my team would like to help me to make a very gradual transition from my foster home to my forever home and, in a perfect universe, to find someone willing to keep working with my dog walker and trainer routines for a few months, to ensure success. Here is what my team (I like to call them my fans) have said about me - "Alley has shown such determination and effort and would be well-matched with a human who can reward him for his admirable efforts."  Is there a loving adopter out there who would like me to join them?  Please come and meet me soon. I am praying to the Universe everyday that I will finally find my place in the world – hopefully with you.  HISTORY: I had a challenging beginning in Bali. Rescuers found me on the streets. I was very ill from blood parasites but with good veterinary care, I fully recovered. I then spent several years sharing a courtyard with several other dogs. When the family who had taken care of me there were returning to their home country, I was selected for rescue to Canada. Since my arrival here, I have had a few challenges, most of which I have recently overcome. How terrific, eh?! I am neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.  My adoption fee is by donation.  Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website,  http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/  and to read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.  show less

Hi there! My name is ALPINE (Happy) and here is some info about me: Breed: Anatolian shepherd cross Age: 2 year old Gender: male Weight: 50 lbs Height: 25 inches Rescued when only a couple of months old, I don’t remember much about my pre-rescue time. Apparently I was all alone, in the middle of nowhere, scared and very hungry. My rescue mom could tell that I had been attacked by other dogs, as I had wounds all over my body. There was no way she was going to leave me behind. I stayed with my rescuer for 5 months. Unfortunately, she had a friend take care of me in her garden, as she had another dog and her 5 puppies to rescue. That's when the nightmare began. Unbeknownst to my rescuer, the garden keeper was very abusive to me, starving me and beating me with whatever he could get his hands on. One day, my rescuer came to visit me and noticed my frail body. She saw I had become very timid and scared of everything. She confronted the keeper and took me to a shelter, away from the mean man. Living at a shelter in the Middle East is never ideal. I was not happy there. I felt sad and lonely. I prayed for my rescue mom to come back for me and one day, just like that, she was back to take me home. My rescue mom has been working really hard to help me get over my fear of people hitting me. I am not an aggressive boy at all, but every time people bend over to pick something up, I anticipate them throwing it at me! I get scared, my tail goes between my legs and I freeze. I have come a long way learning that not everyone is going to hurt me. I love to run around and play: https://youtu.be/ESEhBlh5r-8. I am so good with my dog friends, and I even have a little baby kitty sister that I adore: https://youtu.be/ad1qV6gtpd4. My rescue mom says I am such a good boy, smart and a fast, eager learner. I am good with people https://youtu.be/pl9IOcFruho and would make a perfect family doggo. Oh, one more thing, because I was starved at some point, I can get a little sensitive around my food. I don't get aggressive at all, but may protest and say a word or two in doggie language. My rescuer is teaching me that no one will be taking my food away anymore. Due to past experience and the anticipation of getting hurt, I may take a few minutes to gain trust. I do love attention, but let me come to you. Once I am comfortable, oh boy, you better be ready for lots of doggie hugs and wet kisses. You will have my heart forever and ever. Believe it or not, I can tell with people’s tone of voice whether they love me or not… kind voices go a long way with me. Having a forever loving family is my dream. Being able to go for walks in the woods or the park, chasing a ball and just being loved is what I wish for everyday.  https://youtu.be/a1sgPba3i4w. Being young, I'll need exercise https://youtu.be/U1EtR5MLzpU. I love to explore and sniff around and after, I enjoy resting and affectionate cuddling. If you are looking for a lifelong companion, someone who will love you and bring lots of joy and laughter into your life, then you have come to the right page. I am generally a happy, go lucky boy. Not to mention my ear to ear smile!!! Literally! I'm a loving boy who is looking forward to meeting you soon. ENERGY LEVEL: Moderate-High I GET ALONG WITH: Kids – YES Dogs – YES Cats – YES PREY DRIVE: Unknown/None observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. FEARS: I get nervous when first meeting new people, Can you blame me?!! Please give me a little bit of time to trust you. TRAINING: Leash skills – some! I will need some training to master walking on leash. House trained – yes – But as you know when doggos go to a new setting, they may get overwhelmed and have an accident or two. Please be prepared to work with me! HEALTH NOTES: I am missing a coin sized patch of hair on one of my back legs. It's a scar I have had all my life. My rescue mom calls it my beauty mark. I have been neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer to Vancouver.

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. 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.

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. 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 My name is Angel and here is some information about me:  Breed: Chihuahua/Pekingese mix Age: 7 months old  Gender: Femaile Weight: 6 Kg My sister (Rebecca) and I was found by one kind soul when we were only a month old. 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. I am a bit afraid of large dogs and men, I am scared of sudden movments. .https://youtu.be/mZ-Pc6QmJgY I am not house trained or leash trainded, please be prepare to help me learn.  I’m not too sure how I’ll react around cats/squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives.

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.

Hello!  I am Angel, an 18 month old male Jindo/German Shepherd mix that weighs 48 pounds (22 kg) and stands 23 inches high.  I was rescued by some amazing people from a burning building in Feb 2022.  Now I am available and ready for my forever home! I tend to be a bit shy towards strangers, but treats make me open up quickly.  Once I get to know someone, I come when called and cuddle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTZaPswsxxg&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwBYujpwJuFY6dhT8828Enj&index=2 See how happy I am to get treats?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6L1z4xzvq8&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwBYujpwJuFY6dhT8828Enj&index=4 My handler says I like other dogs and actively approach them to say hi, some dogs may be irritated by how active I am, when there is another active dog around, I love to play! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSjKpIuZ-iY&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwBYujpwJuFY6dhT8828Enj&index=5.  When I was out for a walk, I saw a cat, and did not react much.  However if I am excited, I may chase fast moving cats or squirrels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIfiOqsLeMY&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwBYujpwJuFY6dhT8828Enj&index=13 My energy level is high, so if you are looking for a hiking or running buddy, pick me!  I walk on a leash like a pro, and loud urban noises don't bother me.  I even enjoy car rides and jump into and out of cars on my own.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1unriQ2BI4&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwBYujpwJuFY6dhT8828Enj&index=10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czs99CiAZZA&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwBYujpwJuFY6dhT8828Enj&index=11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6BwGJH_z3g&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwBYujpwJuFY6dhT8828Enj&index=12 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1unriQ2BI4&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwBYujpwJuFY6dhT8828Enj&index=10 There has been no aggression shown, and I have a moderate appetite with no resource guarding issues.  There have been no signs of separation anxiety, I don't get car sick, I am crate trained. Sometimes I bark at strangers or new dogs and have marked in a new place, so you need to be on top of that. So what do you say?  Want a beautiful boy as your new excercise buddy?  Apply for me today!
