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

UPDATE:  I am a young dog who is so very happy to have now arrived in Canada. I am being rehomed because of other life matters linked with my adopter. I am a natural leader who loves to play with other dogs and to have a cuddly relationship with my humans. I am a bit chatty I'm told but with a bit of help from my new adopter, I'm sure I can learn to be a bit quieter. I love walks in nature and my rehoming adopter says I'm actually quite good on a leash. Pleeeease come to meet me! I am looking forward to helping my new adopting family see what a great dog I am. After all, I'm really still a puppy so I have so much potential to learn and to share my joy of life with you. HISTORY: My name is ANTAR and here is a little info about me: Breed: Canaan Dog/German Shepard mix Age: 1 yr Gender: male Weight: 22.5 kg Height: 55 cm My rescuer saved me when some kids were hanging me by my neck from a tree. I was dying when they got to me. There is very little respect for dogs in Egypt, where I currently live. My name means Hero in arabic. Though I'm not really brave, I think my rescuers believe I am a hero to have endured the abuses I did and still be such a super sweet, adorable boy. I tend toward the easy going attitude. They say I am the sweetest they have ever had, in fact. In the beginning, I was so afraid of people, but after a few months I started becoming more & more friendly. While still just a bit leary at first with new people, I warm up pretty quickly. https://youtu.be/xRpvvyo5KD0. You will find I am good with everyone, including cats. I am never bossy. I don't bark or growl at other dogs, even when they get on top of me or growl at me or get up in my face https://youtu.be/6UMjd-cUTng. I will just walk away. I'm a lover and prefer not to fuss. https://youtu.be/qnEFvNE-xH0. I am good hearted and good natured, so like to play https://youtu.be/2EECo_jTNWE. I treat everyone nice. I'm a lovely soul with emotional sensitivity, full of love. Beautiful inside & out. https://youtu.be/Hq7FTZlpKjI. I enjoy playing... cat, human, dog, doesn't matter to me, whoever wants to join the fun. I haven't yet been introduced to toys. I play with the other dogs and cats though. I listen well to commands and if you tell me to stop, I will stop doing something. Yup, I am not stubborn and won't try to impose my will. Energy level: Moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: yes Kids: unknown, though quite likely Prey drive: none observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: none observed. Just need slowish intro to new people. Training: describe Leash skills: some basics... Please be prepared to train me. House trained: Yes. Please be prepared to help me learn where to mb go in my new home! 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: I have been spayed/neutered, 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 fight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

Walks on front legs, joyful I am one hap hap happy girl... all the time. Just being alive is such a joy. My rescuer found me at 3 months old. I had been hit by a car and was left to die on the side of the road. Thankfully My Good Samaritan took me to the vet, however it was too late for saving my back legs.I love other dogs, but not the greatest fan of cats and better not around kids. Best a home free of those for my future. It would be terrific if I could have a little grassy yard to play in. I am capable of walking on my two front legs for many, many miles. I never get tired of roaming around. Hoping you like exploring, because I do.Probably best not to have a home with stairs. A ramp on just a few stairs is probably fine. Not much else is going to slow me down. Energy Level: moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes, Cats: no, Kids: no Fears: unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: Not trainded Leash skills: not so much. Please be prepared to train me. House trained: No. I use a diaper indoors. Grassy area helps when outside.

Hiya folks. My name is ARLEN and here is a little info about me: Breed: Anatolian Shepherd mix Age: 2-1/2 years Gender: male Weight: 30 kg Height: 60 cm Aren’t I just lovely? My beautiful eyes say it all. They show the love within me. A sweet lady at a local park in the Middle East found me. I was being tormented by the local kids there. She found me with a bleeding ear, because they had thrown so many rocks at me. She took me to a shelter she knew of and they thankfully accepted me, even though they were overflowing with dogs. I am currently living at that shelter along with 200 other dogs! It’s getting too crowded here if you ask me! However where I am right now is better than my previous living situation. I get along well with other dogs, but I don’t usually feel like playing with them. I mostly like to snuggle in a corner at the shelter. Hopefully I can continue to do that in Canada, but on a couch close to the fire... and close to you! I am very friendly and love to get cuddles and pets from humans. I hear there are plenty of those in Canada! I can’t wait to become a Canadian. Please help my dream come true! Energy level: low to moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown Kids: unknown. I can’t imagine having any problems with them though, because I am very gentle. Prey drive: unknown/none observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should these behaviors arise. Fears: unknown/none observed. I am not afraid of much, but I can be a little shy at first before I get to know you. I will need to adjust to my new environment upon arrival. Training: none Leash training: none, Please be prepared to train me. Housetrained: no. Please be prepared to help me learn! Health notes:  I have been vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped.

A very good day to you. My name is ASPIN and here is a little info about me: Breed: Saluki mix Age: 6 months Gender: male Weight: 10 kg Height: 35 cm Highlight(s): affectionate, clever, scared yet, alert Though I am s bit scared yet, once I get comfortable, I am affectionate. Found in the West Bank/Israel when I was a just a few months old, my rescuer said I was skinny & small, looking for food in a trash container. She set out food & water for me and other dogs in the area. Then one night, she saw me alone and scared. I had a plastic bag wrapped around my abdomen. So she caught me and took me to her home, where I was cared for. Now I am healthy and awaiting a home. My rescuer says I sm a calm pup, who is alert and clever. Now I am looking for a permanent home where I can give love to a family and be loved in return. I hear Canada is the place to be. I get along with other dogs. Never been around meowies yet though. Probably a moderate energy home would be good. Hiking, going to the beach, playing in the yard or park would suit me fine.

My name is Atish (Lucia) and here is some information about me. Breed: Anatolian Shepherd Age: 4,5 years Gender: Female Weight: 34 kg Height: 65cm Shoulder width: 25cm Please, please consider adopting me, so I can leave the Middle East straight away. I’m a lovely girl, but I’ve had some hard times over the past years. I was probably born on the streets, but nobody really knows. Somehow my hip was fractured when I was one year old, and a kind person took me to the vet for surgery. Afterwards, I was taken to a boarding house for dogs. For a time, I felt safe, but then I was told that I would be spayed and released back onto those scary streets again. Luckily, a LALDR supporter in the Middle East found out about my situation and helped me to stay off the streets.  Unfortunately, I needed more surgery for a bowel torsion where I lost a lot of blood and needed a transfusion. I almost died , but I was not ready to give up. To keep me safe, I was moved between shelters and boarding houses. As my nutrition was not great, I developed anemia for a while. Once I was moved to a better place, and given the right nutrition, I recovered quickly. Now, after all I have been through, I am very healthy and looking for my forever home. Although my life has been challenging, my rescuers say I am a kind and loving dog. I tend to be calm and not too excitable. I get on with other dogs and have not been reactive towards cats. I have shown no aggression or food guarding.   I enjoy getting attention from both men and women especially if I get lots of pets - they are the best!! I’m told I get on well with little people too.    I’m hoping you can see what a wonderful companion I would be. I have so much resilience and just need to be in a stable home surrounded by people who love me. Please take a chance on me ❤️ Energy Level: medium I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: yes Kids: yes - but no video to show you yet.  Prey drive: None observed. Fears: unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition Training: some Leash skills:  I am getting used to wearing a collar and leash in my own environment, however I get unsure when I leave my safe place. I will refuse to walk. I just need help to feel comfortable in new places. House trained: No. Please be prepared to help me learn!

UPDATE: Hello future adopters! You are in luck! I am looking for my forever adopter and I am a marvelous dog! I am loving, loyal, and playful. I just love being with my humans for all kinds of activities. Being part Sharpei, I am a calm dog with great loyalty to those close to me. As for cats, I tend to chase them when they run but have shown some calm behaviour around cats that sit and watch me. I also love my stuffies, running in a nearby field, and going for walks. I am a perfect blend of independent when I need to be and cuddly when you need me to be. Does it get any better?!  HISTORY FROM 2021: For the past month I've been recovering from entropian surgery. My eyelashes were growing toward my eyeballs! Imagine how much it hurts having your eyelashes scratching your corneas every single time you blink! Thankfully I'm just about healed and now I feel a million times better. I am a 4 year old, 50lb Sharpei mix, originally from Turkey, where I was found on the streets before being taken to a shelter.  When I first came to Canada I went to live on a farm, but it turned out the rabbits and chickens were just a little too much temptation for me so my family reluctantly decided I needed to find a home free of small animals. I then spent time with a foster who had other dogs and I am very proud to say that I got along with everybody, humans and canines. My home for the past year or so has been with a family that is now needing to rehome me due to changes in what's going on in their human world. I have enjoyed the company of other dogs in the past but I am currently much prefering the wide open spaces of nature. I love to have a good run several times a week but this needs to take place in a location where I can be on my own. I get very enthused when I am out walking so it is much better if I am walked on my own. I am still learning leash-walking skills so if you would like to further help me to learn, I am a smart dog and will likely make further progress.  Inside the house I'm a quiet and affectionate dog; there's nothing I like more than a snuggle with my people. And while I definitely enjoy spending time running outside, I also greatly enjoy relaxing time inside. I would appreciate a yard in which to run around and a few long walks during the week but I am also able to relax after my walks.  I have been spayed vaccinated & micro-chipped and my adoption fee is $650 + tax.

Hi there. My name is Bardy (Body, as in bodyguard) and here is a little info about me: Breed: Anatolian Shepherd mix Age: 2 years Gender: female Weight: 66 lbs Height: 25 inches UPDATE: I am waiting for you in Portland, OR. I can still be adopted in Canada or WA. Once upon a time there was this kind woman who used to feed stray dogs like me on a regular basis. I knew this person was my ticket to a better life, so I began to follow her car, running as fast as I could to keep up. I made it my job to be her bodyguard from there on and always found her when she came. I became a bit of an Instagram star for a video of me galloping beside her moving vehicle. This claim to fame worked: The rescue agency sought me out and took me into their care. It’s a good thing that they did. When I was finally scooped off the streets I was in poor condition. I had to have a tooth removed https://youtu.be/oE3Cow2GrtE, my rescuer made sure to check on me https://youtu.be/E5UIpv4Rbko, https://youtu.be/PgjgG3m-7YQ. Fortunately, I’ve had good veterinary care and lots of love since then. Now I just need to find my happily ever after in Canada. Can you make my dreams come true? As my rescue story shows, I will stop at nothing to be with my people. https://youtu.be/yVCukYTOvk8. This includes jumping fences. Yaaaah, escape artist, but it's only because I want to be with you, not because I want to run away. Please ensure you can spend a lot of time with me and have a secure yard where I can be outside with you. I would love to become your lifelong companion. I am an expert cuddler. I love hugs and can be in your arms for hours and it still wouldn't be enough. While I have never lived with children, those I have been around are A-ok in my book, mini-hoomans, they give love too.  My rescuer just visited with me and said: Ahat a loving dog I am. That I love people and am great with strangers and kids. Energy Level: moderate I get along with: Dogs - yes Cats - unknown Kids - yes Prey drive: None observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: not observed. Training: none Leash skills: No... Please be prepared to train me.

My name is Beauty and here is some info about me:  PHYSICAL INFO:  Breed: Yellow lab/Golden Retreiver mix Age: 7 months  Gender: female Weight: 19 lbs  Height : 19  inches  RESCUE STORY:   Hi, my name is Beauty and I was rescued from a wilderness area when I was only a couple of months old. A kind woman from a nearby native reserve found me alongside the bodies of  my four siblings and my mom in a remote area by an abandoned building.  Someone had killed my mom and siblings by burning their eyes and parts of their bodies. That evil person had done the same thing to me. But I managed to the survive. The vet suspected that they had used a hot metal rod to burn my eyes and private parts. I have been living with my rescue mom for a few months now. I have had a couple of eye surgeries and amazingly I can actually see! I have full vision in one eye and partial vision in the other. I mean, how lucky am I?! I have one more surgery scheduled so that the nice doctor can make me an eyelid so that I can blink.  Because of all the trauma I went through, my right front leg has a little twitch. The vet thinks that the mean guy caused some neurological damage to my nerves causing the slight twitch. But my legs are fully functional. So none of the trauma I have experienced will stop me from living a healthy, normal life. TEMPERAMENT Now, moving on to all the fun stuff! I don’t let what happened to me stop me from enjoying life to the fullest. I am no different from any other puppy. I love to run around and play with my friends. I get along with everyone in the shelter, even the little kitties. I find them quite amusing.  I am still very young and have a lot to learn about life. Everything is very new to me and I am learning more and more everyday. My rescue mom says that I am very smart and eager to learn. I have so much love to give and I constantly lick my rescue mom’s face. That's my way of thanking her for giving me a second chance in life.  Despite the cruelty I have endured, I adore people and have so much love to give. I have a great temperament and love getting affection. One of my favorite things to do is to play and then finish off with some cuddles and rubs. As much as I love my rescue mom, it will be so nice to find a forever home where I can blossom and live a life filled with lots of love, play time, treats and squeaky toys. I especially love the squeakies!  If you are looking for a lifetime companion, a beautiful girl who will love you and shower you with wet, doggie kisses, then you can't do better than me. ENERGY LEVEL Medium/high. I am still a very young puppy so need regular walks, play time and exercise. I love to explore and sniff around so a fenced yard would be grand. But I also I enjoy spending time inside the home, hanging with my family. GETS ALONG WITH:  Kids (No video proof) – YES  Dogs(video proof) – YES  Cats (video proof) – YES   TRAINING:  Leash Skills - My rescue mom cares for over a 100 dogs in her shelter in the Middle East so has not had the opportunity to leash train me. But I am a very smart girl and a quick and eager learner so you won't have any trouble teaching me manners. House trained – yes and no – we freely roam around the shelter, inside and out. I tend to pee by a little tree every time. But as you know when dogs go to a new environment it takes awhile to get comfortable and learn a new routine. So please be prepared for a few accidents in the beginning.  HEALTH NOTES: I have not yet been spayed because I am still too young. In addition I have had a lot of surgeries recently and still have one more to go. So I need to recover from that before I go through a spay surgery. I have full vision in one eye and partial vision in the other. I will be going through another eye surgery soon so that the doctor can repair my eyelid so I can blink again, My eyes look a little different than most dogs but they are nevertheless full of warmth and love for everyone I meet.  I am vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is $750 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 not begin until dogs have settled into their new home and feel safe and have bonded with their adopters. 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. show less

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 Meemi 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, Meemi (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, Meemi, 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 very well and play with them regularly. https://youtu.be/vSVKO4lDGJc,  https://youtu.be/BBQdHeJlthY. I also get along with kids and women. I can be shy with some people. 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 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 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.) I have a slight vision problem in one of my eyes, but it does not hinder me from living a normal life. I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. Our adoption fee is $1450.00 CAD + applicable taxes for both of us. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.
