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. Hi there! My name is Rosemary and here is some info about me:  Breed: Chesapeake/shepherd mix Age: 4 years Gender: female/spayed Height: 75 cm Weight: 27 kg I was found when I was only a couple of months old. Someone had cut my ears off and they got infected. It hurt so much! I am all healed now after a month of treatment. I have been living at the shelter ever since. I would love to be welcomed into a loving home where I can cuddle with my humans. That is my favorite pastime. I love people despite my bad experience with them. I used to have a best friend that lived at the shelter but unfortunately he moved away to Vancouver. I am really hoping that I can join him on the other side of the world. I get along with other dogs but I would do best in a single-family home with no other animals. I’d like to have you all to myself! When I get excited I jump around like a yo-yo. Speaking of yo-yo, I love to play with toys as well as with other dogs at the dog park. Will you be the one to welcome me to your family? I am extremely loyal and cuddly and promise to be your best friend for life.  I am quite the smart girl and just look at my luxurious ruddy brown colored coat. Pretty, hunh? Energy level: Moderate Get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown Kids: unknown but since I am a real sweet pup my rescuer thinks I am good with all humans including kids  Prey drive: unknown, adopter needs to be willing to train me should these behaviors arise Fears: I am a bit afraid of large dogs (larger than myself), and I am shy when I meet new people but adapt very fast Training: Leash training: I was at leash couple of times and I was good with it but my adopter should be willing to work with me to be the expert at it Housetrained: I am good with other dogs. I have been trainded and ready for new chapter of my life. 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.” Health notes: I am a happy and healthy pup and have healed after receiving treatment for my ears. I have been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped My adoption fee is $750 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a fight volunteer directly to Vancouver. 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. 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.

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. 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.

Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza. Bordetella is not given, as that has not been a problem in the Middle East. show less

Hello, my name is RUNE and, just like the ancient symbols of the same name, I am a dog with much magic. Just look at my eyes...could anyone disagree with that?! First, let me give you a few facts about me. I am a proud Siberian husky mix, I am 52 lbs, I am 2 years old, and I LOVE the outdoors and being ACTIVE. For you humans who also love at least an hour of vigourous activity each day, I'm your guy! My interests are broad - running on leash, playing off leash, chasing a ball, hiking with my humans, and any kind of play with water. I'm your perfect beach guy. Just put me on a paddle board and you'll see me grin from ear to ear...and I stay on!! Oh, and I also love family life. I'm GREAT WITH DOGS AND KIDS AND WOULD DO BEST IN A HOME WITH ANOTHER DOG. I've never been around cats so perhaps we'll just leave them out of the picture. Add to all of my strengths already listed, I am a gentle soul who has never shown aggression towards a dog, adult, or child. My prey drive is even low. I am curious about small, running creatures but I don't get fixated on them and can be redirected. I'm also good in cars, I can handle being on my own for reasonable periods of time, and I know several commands including sit, stay, lie down, and leave it. I do sometimes feel anxious when I hear loud city noises like construction and big trucks but I acclimatize when I am exposed to it in small doses. And another good thing is that I am local so you can come and meet me! When can we meet? When? When? I am neutered, microchipped, and have had all my immunizations needed here in Canada. show less

I hear you're looking for a small dog. I fit the bill, and I'm cute too!  Please bring me home with you. My Physical Info: breed: spitz/jindo mix gender: female age: 7 years weight: 15lb (7kg) height: 14 inches (35cm) My Rescue Story: Before I was rescued I spent my life chained up in the backyard of a factory in a rural part of S.Korea. The chain was barely a metre long and my days were long and lonely. My Temperament: Since my rescue I have learned how good it feels to receive attention from kind humans. While I can be a little bit shy when I first meet new people, a few treats soon help me warm up and then I will happily accept scratches and petting. Once I get to know someone I am fine being picked up and carried around a bit. Now that I have bonded with my care giver I choose to sleep beside her and will follow her around when we go outside.  My Energy Level: I have lower than average energy, though I do become a little more active when we go outside.   I get along with: dogs: yes.  I share space with a number of other small dogs here and get along with them fine, though I tend to be disinterested for the most part.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0IN74kJiZ4&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwxUGFRUKBzUsBVxojkWGWd&index=4 cats: very likely yes, though no video testing. My handlers believe I am likely to be as disinterested in cats as I am in dogs. kids: also likely yes, though no video testing. Training notes: leash skills: I don't pull on the leash, but I can get startled by sudden noises and tend to be nervous in new environments so I walk in zig-zags rather than straight lines. Once I am able to go out for daily leash walks with you and become more used to the neighbourhood I will likely calm down.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkAZeCDKTJ8&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwxUGFRUKBzUsBVxojkWGWd&index=6 house training: right now I don't have the opportunity to learn this, but once I come to live with you frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn. Health Notes:  At the time of my rescue I tested positive for heartworm, but it was only stage 1. I have since been treated and was cleared on February 25, 2022.  My eyes do not produce tears, so I need daily eyedrops. I have one tooth that needs to be extracted and this will be done before my flight to Canada. I am spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. My Adoption Fee: My adoption fee is $750 + tax, and includes my airfare to Vancouver or Seattle.

Hellooo everyone.  My name is SAHRA and here is a little info about me: Breed:Anatolian Shepherd Age: 6 years old Gender: Female Weight: 46.5 kg Height: 60 cm You might be asking how a beautiful dog like me ended up in a shelter. Well, things are not always easy for dogs living in the Middle East. Some city officials found me on the streets. They put me in a van and said they were going to kill me. You can imagine how scared I was. Luckily the van stopped, the door opened, and my wonderful rescuers appeared. They took me to the vet where I was found to be a healthy pup. Afterwards, I was taken to the shelter. It’s ok here, but I would rather be in a comfortable home. Being very sociable, I love both people and dogs (of all ages and sizes). When people approach me, I like to lie on my back to receive belly rubs. They really are the best!!   You can see from my video that I don’t grumble when other dogs want to play with me, and I’m happy to share my space with them. I just take everything in stride. My rescuers say I have a great appetite and show no resource guarding with my food. https://youtu.be/05dsZD3_Am4 If you have another dog, that is ok with me, but not required. I have no experience with cats or children, so not sure if we would get along.   My rescuers are so busy they have not been able to provide any special training, but I do know how to walk on a leash. More training would really help me to be the best dog ever. Perhaps we could do some hiking or exploring together. What do you say? Energy Level: moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown  Kids: unknown  Prey drive: not observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition Training: some. My rescuers say I will be easy to train.  Leash skills: yes. I walk quite well on a leash. Please be prepared to continue training me. 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.

My name is Sangria (Sophie) and here is a little info about me: Breed: Anatolian shepherd Age: 5 years Gender: female Weight: 32 kg Height: 65 cm Hi there boys and girls! I present you with some sangria! That’s my name! Wink! And I’m sweet and delish just like my name suggests. Here is some more info you need to know about me. I was rescued when I was found at the side of the road, injured. Someone had run over my leg and I was limping very badly. I was taken to the vet and unfortunately my leg could not be saved. However, that does not hinder me from living a normal life. I absolutely love to play with my fellow dogs at the shelter. I also love to get cuddles and hugs from people and get along with them very well. I have been living at the shelter for three years and I am more than ready to find a family that will love me forever, as much as I will love them. I am very loyal and intelligent. I learn commands very quickly. Will you be my happily ever after? Energy level: Moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: Unknown Kids: yes Prey drive: None observed.

Hi there. My name is SHADDOW and here is a little info about me: Breed: Doberman Pinscher mix Age: 2 - 1/2 years Gender: Male Weight: 35 kg Height: 70 cm Found in a closed sack under a bridge in a remote area. I was left there to die, since I was born with a disability. Can you believe it? As handsome as I am? My rescuers have been caring for me. One surgery has been done on my paw. I don't really use that paw much https://youtu.be/h_JdJuhRt_8, but it doesn't hold me back.  Since my country does not allow dogs out in public for walks, at least in the city, the only place I can go is one dog park far away from the city. So I really haven't had much outdoor experience til recently. I have lived in an old house since I was little, as going out is so dangerous here. Recently, I have been starting to see dogs and new people. I am a playful boy https://youtu.be/dZMcid6s45k and love new experiences. My rescuers are hoping for a family for me soon, because keeping me has become impossible for them given the resstrictive laws. I sure hope you are ready to provide me the love I so deserve. I will give you tremendous love in return. I am energetic and eager to learn. You'll also find me a clever pup, who is alert to new things. I am observant, kind of the James Bond type. Energy level: Moderate-High I get along with Dogs: yes Cats: Unknown Kids: unknown, but I once met a kid and had good interactions. Prey Drive: Moderate. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: none observed. Training: some Leash skill: some. Please be prepared to continue training. House trained: not exactly. I had to learn to use pee pads, since I can't be walked outside. Please be prepared to help me learn. Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives.

Health notes: Disability of the right foreleg. Maybe I could get a prosthetic. I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is $600.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a fight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

My name is Sharon and here is some info about me: • Breed: Yellow lab cross • Age: 2  years • Gender: female • Weight: 55  lbs  • Height : approx 20  inches  Hi everyone, my name is Sharon and I am a yellow lab cross. My rescue mom found me and my sister when we were only a month old. My rescue mom noticed a number of people kicking me and my sister around like a soccer ball. We were both very scared and crying from pain. My rescue mom took us and looked around for a long time to see if she could find our mom and other siblings, but they were nowhere to be found. Even though I had lost my mom at such a young age, I have always considered myself lucky to have such an amazing rescue mom. I have been living at the shelter for my entire life with many of my rescue brothers and sisters. I even love the little dog looking creatures that roam around the shelter and meow!My rescue mom says that I am such an easy going girl and just go with the flow. I never make a fuss about anything and don't let small little things in life bother me. I enjoy running around the shelter and playing with my friend. My rescue mom says that I am such a good girl because I have never displayed any form of aggression towards people or dogs. You could say that I am a lover not a fighter!I have never lived in a home or explored the world around me but I have heard that there are so many beautiful places, parks and beaches where I am hoping to find my forever family. It would be so awesome if I could have a back yard to call my own, where I can roll around on the grass, smell the fresh air and just be a dog! I have never had a toy or a ball and can not wait to learn how to fetch so that we can go to the park and play together.  I really enjoy the odd walks my rescue mom takes me to! You see, she is so busy taking care of me and my friends at the shelter that she does not have enough time to take each and every one of us outside for a stroll. I know that day will come, I just have to be patient for a little bit longer! My energy level is moderate to high and it would be a dream of mine to find a forever family who spends time taking me out on walks and spends time playing with me.  I just love nature and smelling fresh air. My rescue mom has been practicing on lead walks with me and she says I am getting better and better everyday. Given how busy my rescue mom is, she has not had the time to teach me any tricks but I am a very smart girl and with lots of love and patience, I will learn how to shake paws, sit and even roll over! Oh, I will most likely learn faster if there are treats involved!!!I am so looking forward to meeting my forever loving family and I promise that I will bring lots of  joy and happiness into your life, if you are willing to give me a chance.  TEMPERAMENT • I am one happy girl who loves all people. I may be a little shy when I first  meet you. When I find my forever family, I will have to travel for 40+ hours. The stress of traveling, all the new faces and the unknown environment can be very scary for a dog. With love and patience, I will learn to trust you and be the sweet loving girl that I am. • I have never displayed any type of aggression towards people or my furry friends.  • I love receiving affection.  If you are willing to give me a little time to get to know you, I promise, I will give shower you with love and lots of doggie kisses. ENERGY LEVEL:  Moderate/high-I am very calm but given that I am still young, I would love my walks,  playtime and outdoor activities. It would be a shame to lose my lovely figure!I think, once I learn how to play with doggy toys or fetch the ball, it would be so much fun to go to the park and play. I overheard my rescue mom talk about one of my friends who had found his forever home and how he would chase after the ball and fetch. That sounds like soooo much fun! I can't wait. GETS ALONG WITH: o Kids - UNKNOWN,  o Dogs – YES  o Cats  – YES PREY DRIVE: None noted. FEARS: My rescue mom has always treated me with love and respect, I have never had a reason to be fearful. I may get  a little nervous in new and unknown  environments or meeting new people  but in time, with love and patience and support, I will be back to being my happy self.  TRAINING: • Leash skills – work in progress! I will need some training to master walking on leash. Walking off leash is off limits for the time being till I learn my new ways.  • House trained – unknown– I live outside at the shelter where we freely roam around , but I have never lived in a house so please be prepared to help me learn because my rescue mom is super busy and has no time to train all of us. I promise you that I will master peeing outside in no time, I just need lots of pee breaks and some encouragement!  • I am also very smart and eager to learn  some tricks, especially if there is food involved!  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 spayed, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. I am one healthy girl :)  ADOPTION FEE: • 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.

Hi, my name is Nono. I am a 4 year old female labrador/Border Collie cross (best guess from my appearance). I have been in Canada (Greater Vancouver) for 3 years but, due to life circumstances of my adopter, he is unable to keep me. I am a loving dog who really enjoys being with my humans. I can be a bit vocal when I meet dogs on walks but I know I can learn some different greeting skills! After all, I'm part border collie and they can learn marvelous things! Please, please, come and meet me. You'll see what a great dog I am. I have recently been having a few knee problems which may need some help from a vet but you can find out more about this from my rehoming adopter. Whatever is the issue, it's not slowing me down much.  I  once had a family in the Middle East who actually rescued me from the street when I was just a month old. But they had to give me to the shelter for protection because someone called the police and they wanted to take me away. You see dogs are illegal to own here and quite often dogs are ripped away from our families and killed. I was lucky to be loved enough to be put in a shelter and not just thrown on the street. Even though I am safe from the police, life in a shelter can be very rough for some dogs. I am one of those dogs. I am a very sweet and loving dog and some of the other dogs see me a weak and are starting to attack me. I am so very scared so I would really love to get into another home quickly. I am not used to shelter life and I am getting very depressed. I really am a great dog. I am very smart and kind. I try hard to be friends with the other dogs here and I really do want to be friends and thankfully some of them are nice with me. I am loving with my human caretakers and I would love to be in a home, any home really. I would love to go on long walks and have playtime in the dog park too. I do have an advantage over some of the other dogs here in Iran because I actually did live in a home so I have an idea of how that is. I should make an easy transition into my new life. So as you see I urgently need to get our of the shelter before I get hurt by the other dogs. I am looking so forward to my new life in Canada all curled up and cozy in your home.   I am spayed, vaccinated and micro-chipped    My adoption fee is $500.00    please see our adoption guidelines at www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca   nono/fariba   show less

UPDATE: I had found an adopter on the mainland, but due to me not getting along with their cats, I unfortunately need to be rehomed to a home without cats. My rehoming adopter has said the following about me - Sugar is a very sweet and gentle dog. She gets along very well with the other dog in the family. She can become a little territorial if there are truly yummy treats around but she has only ever let out a small growl. She has warmed up very quickly to the humans after gaining some trust. She is significantly more afraid of men, but with slow introductions and multiple daily interactions she has warmed up to men as well. Sugar is experiencing some separation anxiety so she is going to need an adopter who is patient to guide her through her early days in Canada. She arrived here 10 days ago so she will just need a bit of time to acclimatize. Are you that patient, understanding adopter who Sugar can rely on for calm and loving attention? Hi there! My name is Sugar and here is some history info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Whippet/Retriever mix 11 months old Female May grow to be about 18-20 kg when fully grown Highlights: Food motivated, loves other dogs, shy around strangers RESCUE STORY:  My rescuer found me on the streets with the rest of the litter that I was a part of. Only half of us survived, and lucky for me I was one of them! I'm a very friendly dog, but I can be a bit shy around new people. Once I get to know you, I love attention! I'm easily trainable as I am food motivated and love treats. I love being around both humans and dogs, and I love to play and cuddle with my humans. TEMPERAMENT: ENERGY LEVEL: Medium GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – NO Dogs – YES Cats – NO PREY DRIVE: CATS - will chase cats I’m not too sure how I’ll react around squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. TRAINING: House trained – unknown – I am still young, please be prepared to help me learn!  Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives.

I've been looking for love in all the wrong places. At least, that's what appears to be the case, because it turns out that there's much more appreciation for jindo mix dogs in North America than there is here in my home country of South Korea.  I'm hoping that YOU will be my person and I'll finally get to find my forever home.  My Korean name is Yeorum, which means SUMMER in English. Here's some information about me: My Physical Info: breed: jindo mix gender: female age: 9 years weight: 15kg (33lb) height: 48cm (19 inches) My Rescue Story: The first year of my life was spent in a proper home, along with my sister, Bandi, and my mom. But one day something terrible happened. Our owner agreed to let a meat dealer take mom, so Bandi and I watched in terror as she was dragged out of the house. After that we lost all trust in the humans around us.  One of the neighbours who felt sorry for us contacted KAWA (Korean Animal Welfare Association) and they were able to convince our owner to surrender us into their care. We have spent the past 8 years in KAWA's shelter because S.Korean's don't like to adopt jindo's due to the stigma of association with the dog meat trade. Thankfully Welcome Dog Korea has now agreed to help find us homes in Canada or the States. My second chance is here at last!! My Temperament I have spent the past 3 weeks at a foster home and initially I was quite shy and reluctant to be petted, however, I still took treats from the hands of strangers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46BmPwyZKb8&list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jy2oKl4AE_5me5aU280IzEl&index=1 After two or three days I started to allow myself to be petted, and by the end of three weeks I was choosing to approach my foster mom for attention. This is likely to be the kind of gradual process you and I will take when we get together. If you have another dog in the home that's great; I like being around other dogs and a buddy may even help me gain confidence more quickly.  Initially I barked when I wanted something; to go outside, or if I wanted my toy (I love chew toys), but this 'demand barking' gradually decreased as I became more comfortable in the foster home.  My Energy Level: My energy is moderate. I love to run around the yard with the other dogs and I like to go for walks, but once at home I am a calm dog. Speaking of walks; while I am good on leash it's not a good idea to let me off-leash in areas that are not fenced. Because I am unlikely to go to a stranger when called it would be hard to get me back if I run off. Bluetooth or GPS trackers are recommended, just in case. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkK1z4BMDSA&list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jy2oKl4AE_5me5aU280IzEl&index=6 I Get Along With: dogs: yes, I am good with other dogs, and can be quite playful with those who are a similar size. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrwVlF1m6VY&list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jy2oKl4AE_5me5aU280IzEl&index=5 With the small dogs in the foster home I was very gentle and even gave up a treat to one of them (and I love my treats!). cats:  likely yes, based on the fact that the cats I met outside on walks provoked no interest at all. I was much more interested in my handler than in the cat. kids: yes, if they are old enough to understand I will be shy at first. Health Notes: I am spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.  My Adoption Fee: My adoption fee is $550 + tax, and includes my airfare to Vancouver, or Seattle if available.

Hi there! My name is Tahfi and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: * Breed (best guess): Saluki Mix  * Age: 1 year (approx) * Gender: Female * Weight: 55lbs/25kg * Shoulder Height: 24 Inches RESCUE STORY:   * Hi, my name is Tahfi! I was found last year when I was only 2 months old. A friend was walking and heard me crying. When she looked closer she saw a man hurting me. She started fighting with him but he wouldn’t let me go. Eventually, he relented and she saved me. She brought me to the shelter where they took me to the vet. Luckily I'm one tough pup and I survived totally unscathed! Despite this heartbreaking incident, I still love humans. I’m shy at first, but after a few treats and pets, I’ll snuggle right up to you. I love cuddles and being in my human’s arms. Maybe you’re the forever cuddle buddy I’m looking for! I am young, and I have a lot of energy! I play super well with other dogs, no matter their size. I love to wrestle, I love to chase and be chased. Check out my videos, I'm really fast and agile! Although I love to run far and wide outside, inside my home, I’m quite calm and content with a chew-toy or laying with my foster mom while she watches tv.  * I’m smart and extremely food motivated, which has helped my foster mom train me. My potty training is WIP, but showing improvements everyday. I’m transitioning away from pee pads, I can pee outside on leash but need more practice with pooping on leash. I’m currently pen trained, but also have not shown any sign of destructive behaviour when I’m home alone outside of the pen. I can walk on leash, and know the command ‘Look’ but loud city noises and tall dark figures (mailboxes/garbage bins at night) can spook me which will cause me to pull. I need a forever human who is willing to continue my dog training, as I’ve shown great strides in a short period of time but will need the consistency to be a fully trained dog. My favourite treat is dehydrated beef liver and I’ll learn any command for it, you’ll see!  All video Links: 1. https://youtu.be/5e8ZTXoiJjk 2. https://youtu.be/7SvCMjVYCqU 3. https://youtu.be/Ckv0xxQXZmI 4. https://youtu.be/JHqp6vbEK2s 5. https://youtu.be/4OAvOsWrPbg 6. https://youtu.be/_hMGtg-D91M   TEMPERAMENT: * Youthful, playful, affectionate * ENERGY LEVEL:     * Medium - High * GETS ALONG WITH:     * Kids – Unknown     * Dogs – YES     * Cats – Curious but won’t attack * PREY DRIVE:     * Interested in squirrels and birds, but will ignore them once you get my attention with a command and treat.
