Unfortunately, due to recently introduced CDC regulations, dogs from the Middle East can no longer be imported into the US. Therefore this dog is only available to Canadian residents. BENJIE (Brigitte) Breed: Aidi mix (Atlas Shepard dog) Gender: fe, spayed Age: 4 years old Wgt/Hgt: 44 lbs/almost 25-1/2 inches Relations: Good other dogs/good with kids (per policy)/ unknown cats Activity Level: Moderate to moderate-high Highlights: Loves people, food motivated (great for training), calm temperament Region: Middle East 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 and the people who found me thought it best to put me down, as my treatment would be too costly, but lucky for me there were others willing to step in and help with the surgery costs. 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. 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 used to scare me a bit, but now I am fine with them, big or small. No one is 100% sure how I will react to cats, as there are none here at my new foster, but one of the rescue volunteers remembers me during my time on the street and never once witnessed any aggression by me towards the cats that 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. The lock down was hard on everyone. But at my foster, 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.  I started having infection & pain issues. It was determined defective metal was used during my surgery. I had another surgery and the vets removed the bad metals and replaced them with the proper titanium ones. I am now in little to no pain. Due to several surgeries though, my skin is not healing well (not closing properly.) The vet team is going to be doing laser treatment to help. Once the scar situation is resolved there is nothing more needed for my medical condition. I am gaining weight now and becoming more playful day by day. Not quite ready to travel yet though, but soon hopefully. I just had my first physiotherapy for my back leg to gain additional strength. Stay tuned for further updates.  Check out the new 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 still building strength), I'd be giving those other guys a run for their money. 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 !  I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $700.00 CAD + applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada if a flight is found direct to Vancouver. Due to limits on Vancouver flights yet, additional fees may apply if flying from another city. Unaccompanied Cargo costs within Canada: $275-$500 per dog.

BENNEY Breed: Whippet/Shepard Age: 1-1/2 yrs Gender: fe, spayed Wgt/Hgt: 44 lbs / just under 24 inches Energy level: high Relations: good with dogs /unknown cats & kids Highlights: tripaw, boundless energy, affectionate Region: Middle East A girl of limitless wonder of the world, I want to explore it all. I have plenty of energy to do it too. I was found on a road outside a city in the Middle East. I had a wounded and infected paw/leg. I wasn't even a year old yet when they found me. Despite all medical efforts, they had to amputate my leg. No worries, it hasn't affected my disposition in the least. Affection is my middle name. I will give you as many hugs as you can handle.  In fact, you can hug me aaaaall day long. I will soak it up like a sponge. I am also quite playful. I can run around all day just playing and playing... well, in between hugs that is. Hug, play, hug, play... I get along fine with other dogs, so having a playmate is great by me, whether canine or human. I've never been around cats or children. With my energy level, I might be a bit much for any younger or smaller kids and cats, well, they'd probably just be something to enjoy chasing for fun. I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $750.00 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 limits on Vancouver flights yet, additional fees may apply if flying from another city. Unaccompanied Cargo costs within Canada: $275-$500 per dog.

UPDATE: Well, I'm here...in Canada...yes, really!! Unfortunately, the person who was going to adopt me had a family emergency so I am in need of another adopter. Hey, it could be you! Just check the rest of my bio. I am a social dog who would just love to have a close relationship with a kind human. Perhaps that's you! I would also appreciate a home with a yard but, as I am missing one of my front legs, it is perhaps best if I am in a home with only a few stairs. I don't need long walks as I can get tired quite quickly, at least right now. Once I've adjusted to this healthy Canadian lifestyle, I might have more energy. I do enjoy walks around my back yard, however, and also relaxing on the couch. Oh, and another thing I have learned in Canada is how to be housetrained (I think that's the word you use). I'm now quite good at it - smart, eh?! I still have a bit of separation anxiety but my foster mom is helping me with that so it shouldn't take to long before I've learned that too! I am sooo looking forward to my own home. Please say you have room on your couch for me? BETA Breed: Beagle mix Age: 2 years Gender: female, spayed Wgt/Hgt: 40 lbs/ 20 inches Energy level: moderate Relations: good with dogs, good with cats, likely good with kids Highlights: shy, loving, smart Region: Middle East Oh hi, my name is Beta. Let me tell you a little bit about my journey.  Like most dogs where I'm from, I was born as a stray. Even though most of us don’t make it to adulthood, against all odds and horrible living conditions, I managed to stay alive. It was hard to wake up everyday, not knowing if I was going to find a piece of bread or something that would take my frail body to the next day. I got pregnant and before I knew it, I had five beautiful puppies. I loved them and did everything in my power to keep them safe. I no longer cared about being hungry and put every ounce of my energy into raising my pups. One morning I woke up and I noticed some humans approaching us. I started wagging my tail, hoping that they would see how cute I was and help us out with some food. Boy, was I ever wrong! I became very scared and confused, I could hear loud banging noises and after each bang, I noticed my babies falling onto the ground, motionless, lifeless. I didn’t know what was happening, I felt hopeless. All my babies were murdered in front of me. Suddenly, I felt an excruciating pain in my body. I didn’t know what had happened. I couldn’t move, I couldn’t get to my babies and lick them better. I don’t remember what happened next, but when I opened my eyes, I saw some local people gathered around me and my lifeless babies, there was blood everywhere. Some were crying for me and my babies because they had seen what those mean people had done to us. They brought me water and food, but if you think I had the slightest appetite, well, you are wrong! It was days before my rescuer found me. She picked me up and took me straight to the hospital. I had a severe gunshot wound to my front leg. It was infected and they didn’t think I could make it. My rescuer didn’t give up on me and decided to go ahead with the surgery. I was in a lot of pain. Once again, against all odds, I had made it! My care giver, cleaned my wound everyday and reassured me that I will be healthy again. She was right! Despite everything I have gone through, I have nothing but love to give. My rescuer showed me that there is good in this world and I am forever thankful for that. I love all people, big or small. I love to cuddle and have head and belly rubs. I live with a lot of my sisters and brothers at the shelter as well and these weird looking dogs that meow! Here is a video of me being silly https://youtu.be/o7e7-y9PNQA It is really busy where I live right now and sometimes, I get a little scared when I hear a loud bang or loud noise. I mean, how can you blame me given what I had to endure? I have lived in the shelter for a while now and am getting better and better everyday. I am slowly learning that not everyone is mean.  I may only have three legs but it does not stop me from enjoying life and playing with my friends. Ideally, I could find a calm, quiet home where I can be spoiled and of course, I would never say no to a yard of my own. I am going to need some practice walking on lead since no one here has time to train us. Plus, it's not like we can go out for walks, it's a bit risky in the Middle East! I have heard of these things called doggie toys. I am excited to have one of my own one day. Apparently, they are a lot of fun to play with and chew on.  I kind of know how to pee outside but, may need some training and guidance as I have never lived in a nice home or gone for pee breaks. I promise, I am very smart and a fast learner and will not disappoint you. I want to leave my past where it belongs and start a new life with my loving family in my forever home. If you look into my eyes, I promise you, you will fall in love with me and see my wholesome soul. I have been spayed, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $750.00 CAD + applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.    Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.

Hi there! My name is BETY and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Lab Mix Age: 2 years Gender: Female Weight: 35 lbs (16 kg)  Height: TBD RESCUE STORY: I was found all alone at a toll stop along the highway in Jalisco. I showed early symptoms of distemper, but luckily I received medical attention immediately and was able to survive! I am also one of the lucky ones to not have any residual effects of the virus. TEMPERAMENT: I can be a bit shy when I meet new people and dogs, however onces I gain confidence, I am incredibly sweet and affectionate. I am an obedient pup and oh-so friendly. My rescuer says that I love to play but also know how to behave in a home (without destroying things!) I love to be with people and I LOVE belly rubs!  ENERGY LEVEL: Moderate GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Unknown, most likely OK with kids 8+ Dogs – YES! I currently live with multiple other dogs and we get along great. (https://youtu.be/OxR7FD_Rlmw) I can be a wee bit jealous about sharing my resources, so if I live with another dog, it would be good to feed us in separate rooms. But look how much fun I have at daycare (https://youtu.be/gblENipSSM4) Cats – YES! Check out the pic of me cuddling with my kitty friend Luna. (https://youtu.be/ZGYegp_vxok) PREY DRIVE: Low I’m not too sure how I’ll react around Canadian squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. FEARS: TBD TRAINING: Leash skills – I walk nicely on leash, although I may pull a bit when I see another dog to play with. (https://youtu.be/SrnZwtZTVwU) House trained – I know to do my business outside on my walks. If I don't get to go out often enough, I may have an accident inside though. Please be patient with me and willing to help me learn new routines 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 few days after 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 and vaccinated (NOTE: Mexico dogs are not microchipped) ADOPTION FEE: My adoption fee is $750.00 CAD + applicable taxes, which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver. Dogs from Mexico typically arrive within 6-8 weeks of being approved for adoption. Mexico dogs fly into SEATTLE (not Vancouver). This necessitates a USA/Canada border transfer. We have been using a trusted Pet Transport company to escort the dogs from Seattle to South Surrey. This is an additional charge of $225/dog. All options will be discussed with you by the Mexico Rescue Coordinator. ------------------------------------- Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.

I am currently in San Francisco. I am available to WA adopters. Additional fees may apply to get me to Vancouver. BISKITT (Biscuit) I am a neutered 2-1/2 yr old male, 78 lb, 27-1/2 inch tall, Shepard mix with moderate energy, originally from the Middle East, who loves people, including kids. Being a very sweet and gentle boy, I love cuddling. Be it known though, I do need time to decompress and become familiar with everyone. Please don't press, but give me time. Once I know you, I will bond strongly. As I was a bit anxious when I arrived, my rescuer has me in some prozac right now. I should be able tp wean off after a while. Found on the streets at only a few months old, a friend of my rescuer adopted me. Sadly, due to my owner's sickness, my adopter had to give me up. As you can probably guess, I'm a people dog. Love the peeps. I am also good with dogs of all sizes, as you can see in my video playing with a dog smaller than me. Oh, and kids, love them too... after all, they are just miniature hoomans. I enjoy following my owner everywhere she goes. Yup, hoomans are my cup 'o tea. Extra score, I am house trained. You'll just need to show me the proper place at my new home. My rescuer is also working on my leash manners and further social skills. Learning can be fun. I'd really enjoy some sort of yard. Hoping we can go hiking and to the beach. Oh yeah. You oughta be able to get some super cute pics of me as a new Canadian puptizen, as I am quite photogenic. I mean, look at this cute face, who can resist? Awaiting my new home, as I came to the US not long ago and am currently fostering with my rescuer in California. I can be adopted to a family in WA too. 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. I will be coming up from the US, so likely there will be a cost for a pet van service to bring me up, between $150-250.

Hi friends! My name is BLAZE and here is some info about me: Breed: Suberian 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! 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!

Health notes: 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.

Region: Middle East Ok, so I'm guessing you are asking why a bee? Well, it is because I am as sweet as honey. That is why my rescuer called me this. That and my ear wings. If a bumble can fly, maybe I can too. Found by a good Samaritan in a park in the Middle East, I was being abused and tormented by the local children there. She stepped in. Despite the abuse received, I am friendly and sweet. I am very well behaved too. I am patient awaiting my food and I don't just gobble it down like most street dogs.  I am good with other dogs, though there are no dogs around where I am presently to video. I am a puppy though, so should not be an issue. My rescuer says I am good with kids, but I have no video to corroborate. Here I am playing with a kitty: https://youtu.be/UJgd1SqZhxg. I will likely end up a med/large sized dog once full grown. When first found I would eat my food up very quickly, but now that I am used to getting food, I've calmed down. So not likely to be very food motivated. Though not yet house trained, I'll probably achieve that milestone pretty fast, as I am a smart girl. I love being around humans and love being petted. I hardly ever bark. Bottom line, it can't be emphasized enough how incredibly sweet I am.  And I love being in Canada!  The city is a bit scary, with elevators and stuff, so I'm hoping to have a forever home with a yard, and maybe another friend to play with as I grow, to teach me the ropes!  Can't wait to be your little honey bee! Here's a new vid of me playing fetch: https://youtu.be/ZafWLQmyqGI. I can hardly wait to do more of this grass rollin' stuff more often: https://youtu.be/JlfH_34NTvM.  Grass is WAY better than a patio!!! YAY! I have not yet been spayed/neutered, as I am too young yet, but I am *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My spay/neuter is mandatory for my adoption to be finalized. LALDR does not cover the cost of sterilization on dogs arriving at/under 8 months of age. 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 will not be optional.  Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.

UPDATE: I am now in Canada and wow, do I like the outdoors! I am looking forward to a loving adopter who has a back yard that I can explore and in which I can do all those doggie things (you know...run around, fetch a ball, answer the call of nature...you get the idea). My foster says that I've been doing really well on my housetraining now that I have a yard. Simple solution, eh?! It's also a whole bunch of fun to go out and just sniff the air for all those cool smells like squirrels, rabbits, other dogs, cats, food. I can hardly wait to find my forever home and to be able to show you all the love I have to give! CARROT (Shmoo) Breed: Golden Retriever/Germ Shep Age: 5 years Gender: Fe, spayed Wgt/Hgt: 50 lbs / 26-1/2 inches Relations: Good with Cats and dogs  Energy level: moderate/average Highlights: kind natured, sweet, quiet Region: Middle East Like my color. Nope, not orange... nope, not red... yup, I call it carrot. See that smile of mine. Carrots give you nice teeth. I’m a very sweet girl, who’s been through a lot, and still managed to keep my kind spirit unbroken. My life didn’t start off well. When my rescuer found me, I was almost gone, since I had been severely abused and beaten. But there was still hope, so they chose to fight with me. After 43 days in the hospital under serious medical care (yes, it was touch and go there for a while), I finally won the hardest battle of my life, and I earned a warrior's title. My rescuer says I’m the perfect example of strength, courage and determination, because I never gave up on myself. And with their help, I survived all the bad things that had happened to me. And look how beautiful I turned out to be! #spiceycolor. It was exhausting though, so now I’m looking for a home where I know I’m safe to spend my days relaxing, having fun and learning how amazing affection, closeness and attention can be. I know I can win your heart over too, I just need a chance. I’m eager to show you how bright my kind nature can shine in the right place with the right people, who are willing to keep fighting with me, but this time for a life full of happiness and love. At the moment, I tend to be timid/skittish, but can you blame me? It was a rough time. I think the one who hurt me was a man, because I feel scared around them, and I am careful about women too. You know, I can be a little too cautious. But I’m sure all it takes is someone willing to show me there are good things in the world. I am a smart girl too, so it shouldn't take long with a bit of patience to teach me how great things can be. Fun walks, treats, toys, belly scratches…. love. A moderate activity level, but calmer environment would suit me. Currently I live with a nice foster lady who has couple of cats and a bunny and I was super cool and chill around them. I love outdoor space so having a home with yard is really important for me ;) Given the circumstances, I am not yet housetrained, but should pick that up quick. I’m quite smart and I know how to overcome a challenge. Also, I'm betting once I learn to trust you, snuggling will be a great pleasure. Love conquers all. I look forward to starting a new life in Canada and will be sure to bring lots of love and fun to my new home. C’mon, choose me. Here I am at my foster home with my cat siblings https://youtu.be/kJxb1cTENXs  I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $700.00 CAD + applicable taxes.

Chakavak Breed: Shepard/Retriever mix Age: 3 years Gender: Female, spayed Weight:  75lbs Height: 68 cm Energy level: moderate Relations: good with dogs /unknown kids and cats Highlights: calm, friendly Region: Middle East Hi! My name is Chakavak, I'm looking for a family :D I used to live in the foothills where I was constantly attacked by other dogs. When the rescuers came to bring us food I decided I would jump in their car! They took me to the safety of the shelter where I have lived the past two years. I am calm, but I sometimes like to play! I prefer to relax with my humans. I have low to moderate energy but I need someone to take me for regular walks and give me lots of love. I have had a hard life, I so want a real home with you. I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD + applicable taxes.

Unfortunately, due to recently introduced CDC regulations, 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 Cooper and here is some info about me: Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix  Age: 8 months Gender: Male Weight: 8 lbs Height: tbd I was found in a dumpster in the Middle East alongside my siblings. Unfortunately, none of them survived. I had parvo, but I’m fully recovered now! I am also fully blind, but I am extremely friendly and trust everyone I meet at first sniff. Don't think I am an invalid due to lacking sight, I can sniff out where you are, find my toys and once I learn my surroundings will be able to negotiate around furniture pretty much like any other dog. Provided you don't start rearranging on me. Ha. As you can see, I can take care of myself pretty well. See me giving the big dog a what for in the video? https://youtu.be/rMX7ZFHc8oY ENERGY LEVEL: Moderate to high GETS ALONG WITH: Kids:  UNKNOWN Dogs – YES Cats: UNKNOWN FEARS: Unknown, none observed. 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: Unknown. I have little experience on leash and 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 not been spayed (eligible at 8 mo. old), I have been *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.
