I will likely come through Montreal. Please note potential additional costs for me to get to you near the bottom of my profile Unfortunately, due to recently introduced regulations by the CDC, dogs from the Middle East can no longer be imported into the US. Therefore, this dog is only available to Canadian residents. Hi there! My name is LOVE (Mehraban) and here is some info about me: Breed: Golden Shepard Age: 2-1/2 yrs Gender: fe, spayed Weight: 27 kg Height: 60 cm Found in the Middle East when only a few months old, my rescuer's friend called her about a crazy person beating a puppy every day and putting him in a very small and dirty cage. He wouldn’t even feed me. He was just using me as punching bag. Well, when my rescuer heard this, she ran to the place and had an argument with the guy, but he wouldn’t give up the puppy. She is bery brave. She Ffnally threatened him that if he didn’t give me up to her she will leave, but come back with a few other rescuers. The guy knew if that would happen, they would beat him up, so he gave me to her. I am one lucky pup. So, my rescuer has been caring for me a couple years now. Things are getting more and more difficult & expensive in my country. My rescuer comes to feed me and a bunch of my other friends living with me in an abandoned area. There is no roof in the place we stay, so we are open to the elements and winter is coming. I am very friendly. The word Mehraban means kind in my language, with Mehr being affection or love. I get along well with other dogs and with people, but I chase cats. Oops. Not sure if I would actually hurt them, but the chase is fun. My attitude is calm, but playful. I love getting pets from peoples. Overall, I am a kind and loving hearted pup. Another vid: https://youtu.be/LiiOg-sdNkU. Energy Level: moderate Get along with: Dogs, yes Cats, no Kids, unknown Prey drive: moderate to moderate low, not observed with squirrels, rabbits, etc... My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: unknown, none observed Training: none Leash skills, none. Will need patient training. House trained, no. Please be prepared to help me learn! 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. Check out courses in your local area and enrol 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 & 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.

Name: LUIGI Breed: Labrador/Anatolian Shepard Age: 2 years old Gender: Male, spayed Wgt/Hgt: 66 lbs/25 inches tall Relations: Good with other dogs/ unknown cats & kids Energy level: moderate/average Highlights: kind natured, sweet and very gentel with other dogs  Region: Middle East Hi There, I’m LUIGI, I am 2 years old, 66 lbs/22 inches tall, I'm good with other dogs and all humans. I'm a mixed of Labrador and Anatolian Shepard, spayed and vaccinated :) My story is exactly like my brother's, MEO and my sister's LARAH story. I was found with my other siblings in front of an unfinished construction home by my wonderful rescuer. Our rescuer gave us food and took care of us she had to take us home because other neighbors called cops on us to take us somewhere to destroy us, can you believe it? Thanks to our rescuer saving our lives, without her help who knew where we were today...... I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD + applicable taxes, this includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver. Due to the ever-changing extenuating circumstances brought on by the Global Pandemic, we are struggling to transport dogs to Canada. If you would like to increase the chance of your dog coming sooner, then the rescuer may be able to find a flight volunteer to Montreal or Toronto, however, this necessitates the use of unaccompanied cargo cost within Canada of $275-$475 per dog. Seattle is another possibility. However, this necessitates the use of a private customs brokerage company to bring the dog across the border with an additional fee associated with this. Fees charged by Pacific Customs Broker range from $190 to $370 per dog. You will be asked if you are interested in this option when your application is approved and further details will be provided at that time.   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.

Hello out there! My name is Lulu and I am a 3 year old, 45 lb (24 inches tall), Shepherd/Kelpie mix from Bahrain. Check out my adorable pointy ears and kind face (https://youtu.be/n-TZg4q0_XU). Me and my sis Ruby have been waiting for an adopter for sooooo long. Have you ever seen such an adorable pair of sisters? Well, you could bring us home and get to see our two smiley faces every day. We'd really, really love that.  There were three of us originally, left in a cardboard box on the doorstep of the shelter when we were just days old.  At that point we needed round-the-clock care in order to survive without our mom so we were placed in a foster home.  By the time we were strong enough to be moved the shelter our foster mom had fallen in love with all three of us. She could only take one, so we parted ways with our third sibling and Ruby and I have been living at the shelter ever since. Given our sweet, friendly natures, you'd think we would have been adopted by now. But maybe it's because we are so closely bonded and need to go to a home together that it hasn't happened here in Bahrain. Between you and me, these people just don't realize that we bring double the love, twice as much fun, and have the added benefit of keeping each other company when we're left alone. We are the kind of dogs who really enjoy going for walks so would be delighted to find a home with someone who likes that too. We get along very well with other dogs, are indifferent to cats, and really love all people. Check out all the videos showing how fun and loving we are!  https://youtu.be/0YOmgxrg5eY https://youtu.be/QrM80A9elWk (Check out that syncronized tail wag at the end!) https://youtu.be/zAiHCbH7mqQ Please can you help us finally leave the shelter and start living the kind of life we hear about. We dream of sharing a home with a hooman family who loves us like crazy. I know it will happen one day, but boy would we ever love for that to happen soon! We are spayed, vaccinated and microchipped and our joint adoption fee of $1,400 CAD includes our airfare to Canada, presuming we are able to be accompanied by a Flight Volunteer.  Due to the ever-changing extenuating circumstances brought on by the Global Pandemic, we are struggling to transport dogs to Canada. Please note that additional fees may apply (beyond the adoption fee) in order to get your dog to you. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs and will ask for your approval before any travel arrangements are made. The following are some examples of possible, non-refundable, additional costs (note, these are estimates only and are subject to change): Unaccompanied Cargo costs within Canada: $250-$500 per dog (presuming your dog can be accompanied by a flight volunteer to Montreal) Unaccompanied Cargo costs overseas: $2,000 - $2,500 per dog (from Bahrain 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.

MACK Breed: Shepherd/Rotti mix Age: 2 years Gender: Male Wgt/Hgt: 55 lbs / 21.6 inches  Energy level: high Relations: Good with dogs, unknown with kids and cats  Highlights: protective, very smart, playful, prefers women, loyal  Region: Middle East Who goes there?! Well, ok, I’ll go first. I’m MACK! Mack the protector of the universe. I think I might be some kind of shepherd, rottweiler mix but who knows what my parents got up to…. Not much is known about my history because I was found alone as a stray pup. I had a terrible skin condition, but as you can see from my photos I am healthy now.  I’m a super smart and super high energy guy. I’m here to protect the world from harm. I’m extremely loyal to the people I know but am very weary of strangers. I’m not aggressive, I just bark a lot to tell you I need space.  I find it hard to trust people I don’t know, but once I’ve met you a few times I will learn that you are a friend. I am extremely food motivated so having food will really help me trust you. My rescuer thinks its very cute that I take pride in protecting the puppies that come through the shelter. I just want everyone to be safe.  Here is a story from the lady who rescued me and is taking care of me in the Middle East:  “Once I fell to the floor in the kitchen, Mack quickly reached for me and grabbed my clothes to lift me up. When I tried to use his back as a support for walking, he slowly walked over to me and lifted my weight.  He endured, he has shown these behaviors many times, if here was a center for training special dogs, I would definitely send him for training, he knows instinctively how to take care, once again I had low blood pressure and  He was very lethargic. He was constantly licking my hands and constantly holding my hands in his mouth and lifting them.” I like to hang with other dogs, especially puppies - I really love to take care of puppies. At first when I don’t know a dog that well yet, I don’t want to share my toys with them but once I have bonded with the dog I’m happy to share my toys. My perfect home will be a house with a large fenced in yard. I’m not a condo or apartment dog and I’d much rather be on a large property with lots of room to roam. As you can see, I’m a really special guy, but I will need a confident owner who can handle my desire to guard my family and teach me how to be the best dog. I’m a ladies man and would be much more comfortable with a female adopter.  If you give me a chance, I will change your life. Due to the ever-changing extenuating circumstances brought on by the Global Pandemic, we are struggling to transport dogs to Canada. I have been spayed, *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.  If I am only accompanied as far as Montreal or Toronto, there will be an extra charge for the cargo flight from Montreal or Toronto to Vancouver, ranging from $300-$700 depending on the logistics. I will be on the first available flight, as I need to leave the Middle East as soon as possible. If my rescuer is only able to find a flight volunteer going as far as Montreal or Toronto, then 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.

Greetings! My name is MALLY and here is some info about me: Breed: Spaniel mix Age: 2 yrs Gender: fe, spayed Weight: 6 kg Height: 40 cm I was living in bad situation in the Middle East and the shelter team took me and my brother from the family. They were keeping us outside regardless of weather, cold, hot, whatever. Being 2 little dogs, it is hard to stay warm in winter and heat here is miserable for any dog. I am doing well at the shelter, but need to find a home to be truly safe from the elements. I would absolutely love to be adopted with my brother, Oliver (also posted.) Not a requirement, but we like being together. I should be able to quickly relearn housetraining. I am an obedient girl, who has a joyful attitude to pay attention to what you want... after I figure out the words in English. I am friendly with others, both canine and hooman. I tend to be playful and energetic. Energy Level: moderate to moderate high Get along with: Dogs, yes Cats, unknown, but I was temporarily around cats a few days without incident Kids, yes Prey drive: low, not observed with squirrels, rabbits, etc... My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: unknown, not observed Training: listen to commands, behave well Leash skills, none. Will need patient training. House trained, had been, but at shelter now. Please be prepared to help me relearn!

UPDATE: I have been in Canada for about a month and boy do I love it here! I really like the outdoors and going for wonderful walks to see exciting things like squirrels and birds and even flying leaves. They are so terrific to try to chase! My adopter has reluctantly chosen to rehome me. She has spoken of how social I am and that is perfectly true. I just love to join humans in doing almost anything. I think it was too challenging have a young guy like me in a small urban apartment without access to the outdoors. I really do need to have a back yard with enough room to do my zoomies and then to be able to come into a cozy house for a cuddle. I am also needing to be the only dog in the house - more cuddles for me!  Yup, I have a fair bit of playful energy but nothing too extreme. My foster is working with me so I chew on my chew toys rather than trying to taste those things I know are not for dogs - shoes, items of clothing, even the edge of a carpet. I am already making progress. Another thing I'm working on is trusting those around me when I'm in a confined space like an elevator or a small room. Now, if you show me a squirrel, I'm just a bit distracted but isn't that the way with many dogs? I tend to be an active guy on leash but hey, that's part of being 1 year old, wouldn't you say? Once I am bonded to you, I come when I'm called. Pretty smart, eh?! Well, that's all I have to  say. I need to go and bump my nose against my foster so I'll get petted. I just love touch and a kind voice to tell me how lovely I am!! Hi Everyone, I am Manee a 1 year old Jindo mix that weighs 37 pounds and stands 22 inches high.  I was found tied to a 30 cm long rope in S Korea where I was beaten with a stick by my previous owner and given no food or water.  I had to eat my own feces just to survive.  Some wonderful people from WDK saw me being abused and rescued me, and now I am ready for my forever home. Despite the abuse suffered, I am described as a very smart and cheerful boy who is very affectionate towards people.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28ainXpF1K4&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JyR1kOkA0PaXFvwVVeuynLI&index=1 My first foster home after being rescued gave me lots of food and toys to make up for how terrible I had been treated, but that led to some resource guarding issues that has required some training.  I am doing much better as you can see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tCUzrQoRYM&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JyR1kOkA0PaXFvwVVeuynLI&index=5  but it is recommended I continue to get obedience training to further work on this. With dogs, I show different reactions to different dogs.  With dominant dogs, I seem to ignore them, even if they sniff me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AXKGpzg4iw&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JyR1kOkA0PaXFvwVVeuynLI&index=2 With smaller dogs though I try to be dominant with them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ2FRm2t_1M&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JyR1kOkA0PaXFvwVVeuynLI&index=3  Due to this it is recommended that be monitored and slowly introduced with to other dogs. When I met a cat, I showed interest in them, but backed off when the cat decided they wanted nothing to do with me.  There is a strong chance that I will chase cats though, so will require a home without them.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV4SvmkS02I&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JyR1kOkA0PaXFvwVVeuynLI&index=4 My handler says I have moderate energy and love to spend time with people exploring new places and going for walks. I am pretty excellent at following my handlers lead on walks and do respond well to recall off leash, but because I love all people I tend to also follow strangers.  Thus I will need to form a very strong bond with you prior to being left off leash.   I will play well with dogs I know.   As I have shown some resource guarding issues, they did train me to let go of food when commanded. This will need to be continued.  Apparently I am also obsessed with shoes and slippers, but a strong command will stop this behaviour.  I have shown no separation anxiety, I rarely bark, and am comfortable in a kennel and do not have car sickness.  I was Heartwork positive (Stage 2) and lime disease positive, both of those were shown clear as of Aug 2nd 2021.  I also swallowed a rubber ball and had to have that surgically removed March 10th, 2021 and have a bit of an underbite. So I may not be perfect, but I may be perfect for you :)  Apply for me today so I can have my own furever home. I am spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee of $750 + tax, includes my airfare to Vancouver or Seattle.

MARGARITA (Bala) Breed: Husky Age: 2 yrs Gender: fe, spayed Wgt/Hgt: 60 lbs / 24 inches Energy level: high Relations: good with dogs and kids /NOT good with cats Highlights: friendly, playful, mild food aggression, energetic Region: Middle East I am a playful pup, who likes making you laugh with my many antics. Yah, I'm a husky through and through. https://youtu.be/STU7CBseQoM. Unfortunately, when I was found on the streets in the Middle East, one of my paws was missing a toe on my right front. My daughter had a toe gone too. It was infected and so the vets treated it. It is all healed now and is a non-issue. I get along with other dogs and kids. I do tend to pester other dogs to play, kinda pushy that way. Would love another dog to play with, like my daughter, Tequila who I am quite bonded with. We would like to remain in a home together. I tend to get nervous and howl within minutes we are seperated. Kitties are a no-no though. Don't get along with the hiss balls. I have a bit of mild food aggression, but that should easily work out with some consistent training, as you see they are working on in our videos being treated with another dog. Not with people or my daughter, just other dogs. https://youtu.be/oSHFyzs7EMI. I have a high level of energy, so will need a family that likes to be on the go active. It  would help tremendously, pretty much required, to have a yard too, so I can race around to burn off some of that energy. I am learning to walk on a leash. https://youtu.be/ViOVT1lHH8k. I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. Our adoption fee is $1500.00 CAD + applicable taxes for both of us.

MARSHALL (Marsey) Breed: Golden Retriever/ Sib Husky /Anatolian Shepard mix Age: 2-1/2 yrs Gender: M, neutered Weight: 55 lbs / 24.4 in Energy level: Moderate to active Relations: Good with dogs / unknown cats & kids Highlights: playful, works well for rewards, easy to train, food protective, loyal Region: Middle East A very loving and playful dog, easy to train and eager to learn. That is what you are looking for, right? My mom (Talla, also posted) was found near death here in the Middle East and after she recovered, she gave birth on a beautiful, early summer day to my 4 siblings and me. Her rescuer kept us all together in their large home and yard, but now they are having to move to a smaller place to live due to experiencing financial hardship, so we are up for adoption. I had been adopted out, but my adopter wasn’t the good person that the rescuers thought he was. I was beaten, abused and starved, as my adopter wanted to make a vicious guard dog out of me. That wasn’t going to happen, as I am a kind and loving dog. So when my rescuer came to check on me, they managed to take me back and rehabilitate me. I haven’t forgotten all the bad things that happened to me. Yelling and sudden, fast movements still scare me and approaching me from the front/side works the best, as I won’t get startled and become anxious like when I get approached from the back. Because of starvation in my puppyhood, I am pretty protective of my food and like to enjoy my meals in a quiet spot. I love to work for my rewards. My trust isn’t easily earned, but when I give my heart, I am a wonderful and loyal companion that loves to play and spend time with my humans. If fact, I am quite the pleaser.  I am looking for an active and loving home where I would be treated with lots of love and patience. Giving me enough time to get to know my humans and my new home without stress will result in a happy family in my furever home. A yard would be wonderful, but I can do without it as long as I go out multiple times a day. It would be good to have a calm home and I wouldn’t mind sharing with another dog, except my food right now, of course. I am not familiar with cats and I am not sure if we would get along, so my new home should be without feline companions. Likewise, children can often not understand about quick motion and noise to a rescue dog. I am super excited to start my new life in Canada and will make sure to bring lots of joy and love into my new home! 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 ongoing limits on Vancouver flights yet, additional fees will apply if flying from another city. Unaccompanied Cargo costs within Canada: $275-$500 per dog. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs. I will be on the first available flight, as I need to leave the Middle East as soon as possible. If a flight directly to Vancouver is not found quickly after I've found a family, the extra cost for cargo to Vancouver from Montreal or Toronto will not be optional. If you would like to increase the chance of your dog coming sooner, the rescuer may be able to secure a cargo flight from the Middle East. This cost will likely be between $1200-3800 USD, dependent on size.

Hi there! My name is MAYA ANGELOU (but you can call me Maya for short) and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Shepherd/... show more

Hi there! My name is MAYA ANGELOU (but you can call me Maya for short) and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Shepherd/Lab Mix Age:   1 year Gender: Female Weight: 25 lbs (11.5 kg) Height: TBD RESCUE STORY: I was dumped at a local spay/neuter clinic when I was just a puppy. I was fostered by one of the kind humans at the clinic until I could be taken to The Ranch Chapala (a wonderful shelter here in Jalisco). I have been at The Ranch ever since and am super eager to find my new home!  TEMPERAMENT: I am very smart, loving, playful and friendly. I can be a little bit shy at first but once I feel safe and loved... that's when my true loving personality shines! I am an energetic pup who loves outdoor activities and adventures! I like exploring and checking out my surroundings. I would be a perfect companion for an active family. My rescuer says that I really tug at her heart. Despite my sweet demeanor, for some reason, I keep getting passed over and haven't been adopted. My rescuer says I am a real find!!! One in a million! ENERGY LEVEL: Moderate  GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – UNKNOWN Dogs – YES! I currently live with multiple other dogs and we get along great. Cats – UNKNOWN PREY DRIVE: TBD 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. FEARS: None known, just shy at first TRAINING: Leash skills – I'm learning :)  House trained – in progress! – please be prepared to help me continue to learn. Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems! Basic training should be taken seriously and should begin within a 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 Seattle. 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.

Please note potential additional costs for me to get to you near the bottom of my profile. 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 Maya and here is some info about me: Breed: Labrador Retriever Age: 1.5 year  Gender: Female  Weight/Height : 44 lbs/23 in I was found under a construction trailer on an oil field site with my mom and 4 siblings. With the heat at over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, we were lucky to survive until we were rescued. Sadly 3 of my litter mates and several of my mom's pack mates, didn't make it. Maybe it was the heat, but more likely they were deliberately poisoned. That's a sanctioned program here in Iran - awful but true. You will find me cuddly, affactionate, a little shy, happy and full of life. My energy level is moderate, I love playing with dogs my size and running and walking outside home. My rescuer told me when I was younger and was just a puppy I was living with cats and loved cuddling with them but since I moved to shelter I had no cat or kid interactions so not sure how I react now but slow introduction will help me a lot. I love human interactions in general and like I said love playing with other dogs my size, with bigger dogs I need more time to adjust.  I am not house trained but I am trained to use collar and leash (vids to come)  I am a very quiet, sweet little girl (as you can see in my videos). In fact, I am so sweet that my rescuers thought that, I might find a loving home in Canada. You are ready for a very calm girl who wants to find a loving home, right? My ideal home would be with someone who likes to go for lots of walks and a few big adventures here and there. I would so appreciate having a fenced in yard to play in, but I think I could get used to the apartment life, as long as I get lots of outside time.

Please note potential additional costs for me to get to you near the bottom of my profile. Name: MEO Breed: Anatolian Shepard mixed Age: 2 years old Gender: Male, spayed Wgt/Hgt: 50 lbs/22 in Relations: Good with other dogs/ unknown cats & kids Energy level: moderate/average Highlights: kind natured, sweet, quiet, loves to go for long walk Region: Middle East Hi There, I’m MEO, I am 2 years old, 50 lbs/22 in tall, I'm good with other dogs and of course humans. I'm a mixed Anatolian Shepard, spayed and vaccinated :) I was found with my other siblings in front of an unfinished construction home by my wonderful rescuer. Our rescuer gave us food and took care of us she had to take us home because other neighbors called cops on us to take us somewhere to destroy us, can you believe it? Thanks to our rescuer saving our lives If you would like to increase the chance of your dog coming sooner, then the rescuer may be able to find a flight volunteer to Montreal or Toronto, however, this necessitates the use of unaccompanied cargo cost within Canada of $275-$475 per dog. Seattle is another possibility. However, this necessitates the use of a private customs brokerage company to bring the dog across the border with an additional fee associated with this. Fees charged by Pacific Customs Broker range from $190 to $370 per dog. You will be asked if you are interested in this option when your application is approved and further details will be provided at that time.

Please note potential additional costs for me to get to you near the bottom of my profile. Hi there! My name is Miki and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Maltese/Poodle mix  Age: 3 Gender: Male Weight: 13 lbs I am a good looking, little guy who despite my size has the biggest heart you will ever see. I was born in a puppy mill in the middle east. I don’t remember much about the time I was a puppy, but I remember being sold to a family that could not resist my cuteness. I was the only child for a while, and I felt loved. When I found out I was going to have a new baby human sister, I was ecstatic! I remember counting down the days for my little sister to be born. They day my family brough her home, was one of the happiest days of my life. After a while though, I noticed that my family didn’t spend much time with me. I felt sad and unwanted but, but I was happy that I had a roof over my head and didn’t have to live in the streets like most dogs do where I am from. Sadly my happy days were over soon, my family had decided they could no longer take care of me because they were busy with my baby sister and before I knew it, I was dropped off at a shelter. I was really confused and scared. I was not sure what was happening. I waited by the door for days, hoping that my family would come back for me, I was wrong. I had to accept my faith and get used to my new life. I still had food and I made lots and lots of friends. Just when I was starting to feel comfortable, one day, the government officials raided the shelter. Some of us were killed and a bunch ended up in the streets. I was lucky because the owner of the shelter had contacted my amazing rescue mom and asked her for help. She took a bunch of us with her so that we would not get killed. I have been living with my rescue mom and my many furry brothers and sisters now. Our living condition is not ideal but boy, am I thankful!! I am one lucky pupper!. I am such a friendly boy and love to play with my brothers and sisters. I get along with all of them. I love doggie toys but, my rescue mom would rather buy us food than toys. It would be so nice if I could one day, have my own doggie toys. Maybe my own bed and my forever family I can call my own. TEMPERAMENT: I am a very smart boy, I love to learn and I learn super fast for treats 😊 I am very cuddly and affectionate and once I get to know you, I will shower you with love and lots of doggie kisses. Oh, I should mention that I really love belly and head rubs. I walk good on leash but, my rescue mom recommends that you don’t walk me off leash for a while till I am used to my new surroundings. Not to brag, but I am just one happy, go lucky boy who wants to love and be loved forever. I hope that’s not too much to ask. ENERGY LEVEL: Moderate; I love to go walks and explore. I love meeting new people and new doggos, I even let them sniff my bum first. I think I would love to be able to have an open space like a dog park where I can chase after my “own” ball! That would be a dream come true. I also enjoy hanging out with my family and relax and cuddle with them. I GETS ALONG WITH: Kids (video proof) – YES Dogs – YES  Cats  – I like  to chase cats, so its best if I find a forever home with no cats. 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 behaviors, should they arise FEARS: I am not really scared of anything; I am one little brave guy TRAINING: Leash skills – I walk really good on leash but, I may need a little training if I am in a new setting. House trained – unknown – I used to be house trained but since I have been living with my rescue mom we only use pee pads. 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! Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives.
