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 AARON (Aria) and here is some info about me: Breed: Golden Retriever/Caucasian Shepard Age: 1-1/2 yrs Gender: m Weight: 40 kg Height: 70 cm Rescued in a suburb of a big city in the Middle East, I was found with large wounds on different parts of my body. My ears and half of my tail were brutally cut off and infected. I was also malnourished. The person that rescued me is a someone that has rescued cats for many years. However she took just one look into my beautiful eyes and fell in love with me. She knew that very moment she just had to save me. She said I reminded her of her brother who was killed in a war. My rescuer took me to a veterinarian for a check-up and treatment. I was hospitalized for about one month and now I am fully recovered. In spite of my big size, I am a gentle giant... kind and love to be petted. I am just a little shy yet though. Lots of good cuddling should help that. Big smile. I display no food aggression and get along with other dogs. I'm actually a pretty chill guy. Car rides don't bother me a bit either: https://youtu.be/hLdqI8i0fqg. And kids, well... I think they understand I am a mighty nice guy: https://youtu.be/kh7CbuuuuBI And don't you just love my spats style shoe look (my white socks)? Level of energy: low Get along with: Dogs: yes 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. Training: Leash skills: some. I do ok on leash, though nothing formal. I 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 week or so AFTER arrival. Check out courses in your local area and enroll 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: My ears and tail have been cut off 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 everyone! My name is ADELE and here is some info about me: Breed: English Pointer/Boxer mix Age: 2 years Gender: Female Weight: 22 kg Height: 50 cm Found in the Middle East by a sweet lady, I was in a busy neighborhood searching the trash for scraps of food. She noticed that my breasts seemed like they were sagging, like I had been recently breast-feeding. She asked around and the locals told her that some kids came and took my babies away from me and I have been wandering the streets ever since. She felt horrible for me, so she picked me up and took me to the nearest shelter. I came to the ladies car and got in with no problems and no resistance. I knew that if I follow her, I would have a brighter future ahead. At the shelter I get along with all the other dogs and humans. Apparently I have been called a pushover though. The other dogs take advantage of my sweetness a lot. Whenever it is feeding time, three other people have to stand close to me so the other dogs don’t come and eat my food, otherwise I will get walked all over by them. I get along with them, I am just shy, so I don’t play much or get too close to the others. I am very quiet and don’t bark much. I am very mellow, so I doubt that I would even have a problem with kitties. I am also very smart, so I will likely learn things pretty fast. I don’t know where my own children are, but I would love to start a new family with you if you give me the chance. I would love to be the new addition to your family very soon. Energy level: Moderate. I get along with: Dogs: yes cats: unknown, but likely given my chilled out traits Kids: unknown 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: I am not afraid of much, but loud noises startle me. Training: I know how to shake paws, but that’s pretty much it. Leash skills: none. I will need patient training. House trained: no. Please be prepared to help me learn! Health notes: I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD + applicable taxes.

**Annie needs a large, fenced yard, hopefully with squirrels! Breed: German Shepherd mix Age: 2 yr Gender: fe, spayed Wgt/Hgt: 50 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 very much enjoy the company of other dogs once I trust them. I currently live happily with several dogs of all sizes. However, it takes me a couple of days to feel safe with other dogs. So it is difficult for a potential adopter to take the time I need to get familiar with their dog. But I am hoping someone who lives nearby me in Langley, Surrey or Abbotsford would be willing to take the time for me to get know their dog. Otherwise, I am happy being the only dog in the home. I absolutely adore 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? But when we aren't playing and I am not exploring the yard my favourite thing to do is to lie quietly on my bed with a chew stick. I am a really easy dog to care for, and to love. I really enjoy being outside so a large, interesting fenced yard to explore and romp around in 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. As long as I have a yard, I only need a couple of short walks a day. 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. As you can see from my video, I love playing in water. To be honest, I love everything about my new and improved life in Canada. 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. Bordatella is not given, as that has not been a problem in the Middle East. show less

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.

My name is AUTUMN and here is some info about me: Breed: Lab mix Age: 2 yrs Gender: fe Weight: 51 lbs / 23 kg Height: 65 cm I was living in a park in a major city in the Middle East when a nice lady found me and started feeding me. She noticed that a young man was beating me consistently at the park and sometimes throwing rocks at me when I would get close to him. She got very upset with the man and arranged for a local shelter to come and pick me up. She figured that living at a shelter would be better than being beaten at the park every day and she was right. You can see the vid of me a few days before I was picked up to go to the shelter. I was being hit and beaten by a bunch of teenagers, yet note how friendly and sweet I still was with my rescuer. My nature is just sweetness galore, like a bowl if blackberries. Mmm. I have been at the shelter only a very short time yet and I need to get used to the other dogs first before they will let me out with everyone. It’s for my own safety. I get along very well with everybody. Even though I was beaten at the park, I am very friendly and love people. Go figure! I'm a pretty relaxed, happy go lucky girl. I absolutely love to eat (watch my weight with the treats. Heehee.) That is how they were able to lure me to the van to get me to the shelter. After all, I wouldn’t get much to eat at the park. As you can see in the movie, I love to be pet and love attention. I pretty much already know how to shake. It's a great trick for getting people to give me yummy goodies. I would do very well in a home with other dogs. There weren’t too many cats where I was nor where I am right now, so I don’t know how I would react to them. Other vids of me: with dogs, https://youtu.be/4kaogajkUXU; being touched, https://youtu.be/yRaGliqoo6k; more touch, https://youtu.be/C-cQdJ7NB_s. Energy Level: medium to high, depending on circumstances. Get along with: Dogs, yes Cats, unknown Kids, unknown (rescuer states loves kids, but no video available at this time) Prey drive: Seems low to non-existent, but 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, none observed Training: none Leash skills, none. Will need patient training. House trained, no. Please be prepared to help me learn!

This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

Hi lovely Canadians! My name is BEEBI (Bibi) and here is some info about me: Breed: Shitzu mix Age: 4.5 years Gender: Female Weight: 6.5 kg Height: 36 cm Bonded with Manna My name means queen in my language. I was rescued from a horrible puppy mill in the Middle East, by a group of rescuers who originally came to rescue my daughter. She was not being sold due to a deformity she has in her right paw. One of her paws is slightly shorter than the other. After she was rescued and taken away from me, I had seizures from the stress and trauma of being separated from her. The rescuers also found out that I was being injected with hormones to produce more puppies, even though I was still breast-feeding. That could have brought on the seizures. These wonderful folks stepped in and decided to buy me from the puppy mill, so I could be reunited with my daughter, Manna (also posted.) The first week I was rescued I had a lot of vaginal bleeding and my vision problem was pretty bad. This was likely due to probable abuse at the puppy mill. After four months of being fostered in a home, my bleeding and seizures stopped completely. So no problem since about June. I play with my daughter regularly and hope to be homed with her. We are very dependent on one another. Another reason the rescue rushed to rescue me, was because my baby, Manna, was crying constantly after being rescued because she missed me. Thank heavens for the sweet lady who reunited us! I am currently staying at a house with three big dogs. I get along with the dogs, but I am sometimes scared of them. I also get along with kids and women. I can be shy with some people. See fears about men below. I even get along with cats, I want to play chase with them: https://youtu.be/LoAgaNso_lg. Mostly I hang out with my daughter and protect her, but she doesn’t need much protection anymore. She isn’t scared of anything! You'll find me eager to please though. I want to make you happy. My daughter, Manna and I will provide you plenty of entertainment watching us play. I can also be a curious girl, who will check out what things are going on around me. Energy level: moderate to low Get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: Yes Kids: Yes Prey Drive: none to low I react well to cats and small animals. I only want to play with them because they are very close to my size. I sometimes just chase cats to play with them. See the video. Fears: I am only sometimes afraid of big dogs. Primarily when they want to play rough with me. However even when I get scared, I show no aggression towards them. I just hide and try to avoid playing with them. Check out the video. I am getting better with men, but I used to have a severe fear of them. Now I am much better. Some men I love, others I bark at... no idea why. Training: I know how to sit. Leash skills: no. Will need patient training. House trained: yes. Be prepared to help me learn where to go at my new home.

Health notes: I have no health issues. When I was first separated from my baby I would occasionally get seizures from being so stressed and under trauma, but I have not had one since (Date.)

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.

My name is BENJIE (Brigitte)and here is some info about me: Breed: Aidi mix (Atlas Shepard) Age: 4 yrs Gender: fe Weight: 44 lbs Height: 25-1/2 inches 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. The people who found me thought it best to put me down, as my treatment would be very costly. Lucky for me there were others willing to step in and help with the surgery fees. 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. I had to endure further surgery when they found inferior metals were used in my original surgery causing problems. So they replaced it with the correct type. Niw I'm healthy and rarin' to go. 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, big or small, I am fine with. Uncertain about reactions to cats. They say I saw them on the streets and never saw me act aggressive with them when they 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. 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. Check out the 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 was still building strength then), I'd have given those other guys a run for their money. My scars have healed, 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 !

If approved to a home, I can get on a flight to Van around the 1st week of Dec. 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 friends! My name is BLAZE and here is some info about me: Breed: Siberian Husky Age: 8 mo Gender: m Weight: 26 kg Height: 65 cm A sad, but common occiremce here in the Middle East... I was left by someone at a vets office to be euthanized, because they had bought me and then decided that it was too hard for them me, so they abandoned me at the vet. Thankfully, many of the rescuers know the vets and one of them was contacted. Super cute and friendly too, I love other dogs and humans, kids included. I get along with dogs small and large. https://youtu.be/9CibJc-ufHU. I just ignore them, if I am not playing. I love attention and when someone pays more attention to another dog than me, I sometimes bark and try to get their attention by nudging them. So, I have respect with others. I am not very food motivated, but I have a good appetite. I can be very vocal (as any proud husky is) and love to sing. Just play me a song and I will sing along. I have been moving from foster home to foster home and I am afraid that they might put me in a shelter soon. I am not used to living in a shelter with it's tough life style, so I really hope that I will get adopted by a loving family in Canada soon. With the weather getting cold, I would love to be able to run around with other dogs in a climate that is more suitable for me.  I've an award winning personality and the looks to go with it. Are you ready for a star? Here I am. Energy Level: High, as most huskies tend to be. Get along with: Dogs, yes Cats, unknown (see prey drive info) Kids, unknown (Rescuer states I love kids, but none have been around to video thanks to covid) Horses, yes, I have been introduced with no issues: https://youtu.be/cy7TUyW9B1k Prey drive: Being a husky, it should be high, but my rescuers state I am a good boy around cats and small animals. (However, there is no video of this to show, so must list as unknown.) My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise though. Fears: unknown, none observed Training: none Leash skills, none. Will need patient training. House trained, no. Please be prepared to help me learn!
