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 Rebecca and here is some information about me:  Breed: Chihuahua/Pekingese mix Age: 7 months old  Gender: Femaile Weight: 4 Kg My sister (Angel) 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. 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. I have been not been spayed/neutered yet but I am *vaccinated & micro-chipped.  My adoption fee is $700.00 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 there. My name is REESE'S PUPPYCUPS. I got my name because he I am a beautiful dog who kind of, a little bit, resembles a peanut butter cup. And I am every bit as sweet as well. But you can call me Reese for short. Here is a brief synopsis about me: Breed: Anatolian shepherd mix Age: 3 years Gender: Female Weight: 30 kg Height: 60 cm Energy level - moderate I'm good with dogs, though best if they are a chill or passive personality, as I like to be mother hen. It appears I am not really very good with cats however, so I need a feline free home.  My story began in the streets of a a major city in the Middle East when I was found by my rescuers, roaming the streets with only three legs. I was emaciated and dehydrated and struggling to stay alive. It is hard enough for four-legged dogs to survive in a city where we are considered vermin. But disabled dogs like me have to fight off both people and other dogs to survive.  Luckily for me, I was brought to Vancouver by Loved at Last and am now happily living in a foster home here. My foster dad says I have the gentlest, kindest personality. I adore meeting new people and will happily roll over on my back to encourage belly rubs  My foster dad says I am very smart and curious about my new world here in Canada. But I am also a bit frightened by it. It is understandable after all I have gone through to be still be unsure if I am now safe. So I remain vigilant about my surroundings when out in the world. I am still worried that I may be hurt. But every day I am gradually gaining confidence. Despite my nervousness, I don’t have an ounce of aggression towards people in me. They just don’t come much gentler than me.  At home I love playing games with my foster dad. We play puzzles and hide the treats. I softly pick my way around the blanket to find the treats hidden there. Because I am intelligent and very eager to please, I am easy to train. I am loyal and loving and will be ever so grateful to be your best friend. Here are a couple more vids of me: https://youtu.be/okF4gxjLFBA https://youtu.be/t6xLFbGdrMg. I may be a tripaw, but I can do everything my four legged friends can do. I am the perfect example that dogs are three legged creatures with a spare. I have been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped My adoption fee is $700.00 CAD plus applicable taxes.  Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.

Hello, my name is Ricky, I am a 2 year old Jindo mix that weighs 51 pounds (23 kg) and stand 24 inches tall.  Initially I was adopted by a Korean family, but they didn't understand how energetic a puppy was and gave me up for adoption.  They did send me for some training and now the awesome folks at WDK have me and I am available for you! My handler says I always smile and grin, that I am a dog that spreads happy vibes where ever I go.  I do tend to be startled by big voices or big gestures that indicate the possibility of my previous family not being very nice to me.  With strangers, I can be a bit shy at times, but I do warm up quickly.  If a stranger takes my lead, I do follow them.  It is suggested I not go to a home with small kids, not because I am unfriendly, but because I am a bigger dog and strong and easily excited, I can overwelm smaller children. When first meeting other dogs, if the introduction goes well I mostly get along with other dogs.  However I tend to get very excited, so my handler requests that you calm me down first before introducing a new dog to me.  After we say hi, then I am usually good to go.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTUHPh6uVBQ&list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jx-DG3S8fIx5JAqAZDbxpvc&index=3.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3xBRjMXgv8&list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jx-DG3S8fIx5JAqAZDbxpvc&index=6  If another dog shows aggression to me though, it is probable that I would fight back.  Cats are a no for me please, I generally feel like it is very fun to chase cats and other small animals, as my prey drive is pretty high. My energy level is high, I need lots of exercise every day.  So if you are looking for a running or hiking buddy, pick me!  While walking, I am very excited and curious about everything, I am not afraid of urban noise at all.  I do pull on my leash, so further training from you would be welcome.  Also, as I chase small animals, I should only be let off leash in a fenced area.  Otherwise I might not come back.   My handler also says I have not shown any aggression to people, I have a high appetite (which speaks well of my trainability) but no resource guarding issues.  I do not have separation anxiety, can bark sometimes if I need something like to go outside, am calm in a crate and do not get carsick. So if you are looking for an activity buddy, apply for me today! 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.

"Goofy-but-handsome pup in search of loving home." That would be me, Ritter, and I am sure ready to meet you. Please check out my bio and hopefully, fall instantly in love. My Physical Info: breed: I look like a manchester terrier (or miniature doberman) mix age: 8 months gender: male weight: 17lb (7.8kg) - I am likely to be a medium sized dog when grown. height: 21 inches (53cm) My Rescue Story: When I was barely 4 weeks old someone put me and my 5 littermates in a cardboard box and left us at the city dump here in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. To them, we were just trash!  If it hadn't been for a good samaritan who heard our cries, found the box and took us to the local shelter, we would surely have all died.  Thankfully we have spent the last 7 months living in a foster home and now we have the opportunity to be adopted overseas. My sister, Clowy looks like my identical twin, while my 2 brothers, Blade and Damon have different colouring. They are all on this site too (just in case you were wondering). My Temperament My foster mom says I am an intelligent dog and also fairly docile. I definitely like being around humans, including the 7 year old that lives here. Being petted by people is heavenly! I like to play with my siblings and get along well with the other dogs that live here.  My Energy Level Average for my age. I have moments of puppy goofiness, times when I just want to play, and then plenty of snoozes too. I get along with: dogs: yes, I am friendly with all the other dogs that live here cats: I haven't had the opportunity to meet any, but as I am young there's a good chance I could be trained to live with a cat, given appropriate introductions kids: yes, I live with a child (no video yet, but hopefully one will come soon) Training: leash training: I am just getting started on leash training, but hope to get used to it over the next little while. I haven't yet seen much of the world and as you can see I am a little cautious: https://youtube.com/shorts/eQTh2LK9xgM?feature=share house training: I have free access to the yard at my foster home, so I choose to go outside when I need to do 'my business'. As long as you provide regular potty breaks and positive reinforcement I am likely to continue this behaviour. Health Notes: I am neutered and vaccinated. Adoption Fee:  My adoption fee is $800 + tax and includes my airfare to Vancouver.

Hi there, kind hoomans. My name is SAGHAR and here is a little info about me: Breed: Labrador Retriever/Shepherd mix Age: 2 years Gender: Female Weight: 22kg Height: 64 cm (ground to shoulder) My start in life was not happy.  I can’t remember everything that happened, but I must have been in an accident because my back leg was injured as a puppy.  My owner didn’t take me to the vet straight away. Instead, they tried to prevent infection by burning me between the eyes. Of course, it didn’t work, and I developed a really bad infection in my leg. After that, my owner just abandoned me in the street. When my rescuers found me, I was hungry and in soooo much pain. At last, I was taken to a vet, but my injury was so bad they couldn’t save my leg. Not to worry, after all I’ve been through, I still have a beautiful smile. Having 3 legs does not slow me down one bit. I’m a calm and gentle soul who loves to be hugged. My rescuers will tell you that I have shown no signs of aggression. In addition, my manners are very good; I don’t jump up when I meet new people but I do seek their affection and am a very loving dog. I can be a bit shy at first when meeting new people, but once I get to know someone, they are my best friend. I love playing with my doggie friends, but I’m also quite happy to be the only dog in your home. Not sure about those creatures called cats. A slow introduction would be needed. As you can see from my video I am good with kids.,  I have arrived in Canada and am happily living in a wonderful foster home here. i have adjusted very well to my new life as a Canadian. I am already house trained and am walking politely on leash.  Energy Level: moderate 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: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition Training: none Leash skills: no... Please be prepared to train me  House trained: No. There is no time to train us in the shelter. Please be prepared to help me learn! Health notes: tripaw, I have been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. 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 directly to Vancouver.

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.

Hello. My name is Sangria (Sophie) and here is a little info about me: Breed: Labrador Retriever/White German Shepherd Age: 5 years Gender: female Weight: 32 kg Height: 65 cm Hi everyone, my name is Sangria but my foster mom is calling me Sophie.  I was rescued when I was found badly injured at the side of the road in a middle-eastern city. 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. After my rescue and  before I came to Canada, I lived in a shelter for three years. While there I spent much of my time getting the other shelter dogs to play with me. I was able to coax even the grumpiest dogs into a game of chase.  I am very loyal and intelligent and learn new commands very quickly. My favourite reward is praise and a cuddle as pleasing my person is the most important thing to me. You will know how it feels to be adored and revered with me in your life. I am a bit afraid when meeting new men but warm up quickly if they simply ignore me in the beginning until I learn they aren't going to hurt me.  Energy level: Moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: yes Kids: unknown, but rescuer states yes.  Prey drive: None observed Fears: None observed. I will need to get used to my new environment Health notes: I am a tripaw and am missing my foreleg. However it does not affect my mobility and am able to run around with no problem. I have been spayed, 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 fight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

Hello! My name is SAPPHIRE (Sophia) and here is some info about me: Breed: Lab mix Age: 7-1/2 yrs Gender: fe Weight: 26 Kg Height: 59 cm The story of my life is like many other female dogs in my native land in the Middle East. I don’t know how I got separated from my mother and my pack, but when that happened I was still a puppy wandering around searching for food. I was trying so hard to avoid people. Anytime I came across people they would throw rocks at me and if I was close enough, I would get a kick. One day I came across a nice lady. Instead of throwing rocks at me, she went in her yard and came back with food. I was not sure if I could trust her or not, but I stayed near her home. Every day she fed me, but I never went too close to her. One day when she was feeding me, she noticed that I was pregnant. Soon after that, I gave birth to five pups, but lost one of them. My puppies were lucky enough to find homes in Canada and Seattle. After I gave birth, the beatings from people got worse, because they thought I was going to have more babies, which meant more dogs in the neighborhood. Meanwhile, the lady was trying to catch me. Later, I found out she only wanted to take me to a vet to spay me, so I would be free from birth pain, seeking safe shelter and finding food for my babes. She was not able to catch me for some time and I gave birth 3 more seasons. Phew. Because of my history, I am very timid and shy of people, though improving a lot. I do walk nicely on leash. I am ok with other dogs, but not the most comfortable with interactions with them. Likely best as an only dog. I have not been around children and cats, nor have I ever seen squirrel, so uncertain how I would react around them. Though I spent most of my life hungry, I don’t guard my food. Here I am getting a treat & hand fed. https://youtu.be/UF4frjLnzmI, https://youtu.be/uW3fR17WZEc. I am house trained any currently I am working on basic commands. Here I was early on in leash training: https://youtu.be/B8ibQgLjzCQ. Here I am enjoying a bone: https://youtu.be/0ABWysIFnGA. Energy Level: low to moderate Get along with: Dogs, yes, to a degree Cats, unknown 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: timid with people, needs time to trust Training: Working on basic commands. Leash skills, some: https://youtu.be/GR1f6m7r3F8. Will need continued patient training. House trained, yes. Please be prepared to help me learn where to go in my new home! Health notes: I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. 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..

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 and should begin within a week or so AFTER arrival. Check out courses in your local area and enroll right away.

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. Breed: Lab/Canaan dog mix Age: 2 yrs Gender: female Weight: 25 kg I was found when I was a little puppy with three of my siblings by a busy highway. My rescuer suspects city contractors killed my mother! I have had a pretty sad start in life but I’m hoping to turn that around soon! I have been living at the shelter since I’ve been found so I have not experienced living in a home with a loving family but I’m sure I will fit right in when I get to Canada! Energy Level: Moderate I get along with: Dogs: Yes for sure  Cats: I like them but never lived with them so not sure how I react  Kids: I love all sizes of humans but never lived with kids before I am a bit scared of strangers but once I know them and trust them I get a long with them. I am happy girl who loves to cuddle right close to my humans. I do not have any type of training but I am a fast learner and once I settle in my new home I will be on speed to learn everything!

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.

Hi there!  My name is Sibeok (Korean for 1 Million dollars, it means life is precious) I am a 7 month old male Jindo mix that weighs 12 kg (26 lbs) and stands 20 inches tall.  I was found roaming the streets in S Korea and taken to a city pound in April 2022.  After I was put on the euthanasia list, I was rescued by some wonderful people and that means I am now available for my forever home.   Is that with you? My handler says I am not shy at all, strangers are no big thing, I love all people.  Also, I love treats, I jump for treats while asking for pets and wagging my tail.  As you can see from my pictures, I am a bit underweight, but should fill out nicely once I get more excercise and get some muscles. When I meet other dogs, I allow them to sniff me and then we get to play together, I am described as a bright and cheerful boy.  I have not met any kids or cats yet, so unknown how I would interact with them.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqQRCRjm2fM&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JyWZer4o-zoEF5m60z6e_EK&index=3  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKP2q6k3Yuo&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JyWZer4o-zoEF5m60z6e_EK&index=4 As I am still a puppy, my energy level is higher, but during walks I follow my handlers' lead well.  I do love to siff things and sometimes keep my head low to sniff all the things.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LyedpUEGBc&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JyWZer4o-zoEF5m60z6e_EK&index=6.  Since I am still a puppy, I do need more experiences and training, for example I still need help figuring out how to get in and out of a car.  I do have stairs mastered though!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu4BnE7G9SQ&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JyWZer4o-zoEF5m60z6e_EK&index=9 There has not been any aggression shown and no resource guarding issues, though I have a high appetite (which speaks well to my trainability) and I try to eat as fast as I can.  (This may be from being a stray dog and food was not in regular supply)  I can still be petted while eating and know where my food is coming from :) I rarely bark and do not try to escape, but may mark in new territory, so need to be watched.  So what do you say?  Want a higher energy hiking buddy who is still young enough to train?  Apply for me today because I am adorable!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klp18lcKJt4&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JyWZer4o-zoEF5m60z6e_EK&index=10 Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives.

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
