Hi there! My name is Kopol and I am a very loving and faithful dog. Here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: lab/shepherd cross  Age: 1.5  years Gender: female Weight: 46 lbs  Height : approx 20  inches  My rescue mom called me Kopol which means “chubby” in farsi because I live for food! Yum yum! I was rescued when I was only a few days old. The authorities had killed my poor mom and all my siblings. My rescue mom found me beside my mom’s body curled up into a ball waiting for her to wake up. I don’t know how I got so lucky to have dodged the bullet (literally) but I am grateful for getting a second chance in life everyday.  When I was just a little puppy living with my rescue mom at the shelter, I got distemper disease. Of course I fully recovered but I have a very minor tick on the left side of my face and left leg that you only notice when I am sleeping. My rescue mom says I am one of the most loving dogs she has ever seen. I may be a big girl but in my mind, I strongly believe that I am a lap dog! I love to be carried around if you have the strength to pick me up. I can even jump into your arms and wrap my legs around your neck if you open your arms and invite me in for a hug. I should also mention that I love to dance. I could listen to music all day long and wiggle my tail and have a dance off! I loved my sisters and brother at the shelter and got along with all of them. I play with them all day long. I even share my food with my cat brothers and sisters. I have been living at my fosters parents home in the lower mainland and they have noticed that I may get a bit jelouse with other dogs. My energy level is moderate to high and it would be a dream of mine to find a forever home with maybe a backyard and another furry brother or sister I can play with. My rescue mom says that I appreciate the little things in life. She has been practicing on lead walks with me and every time we go for walks, I stop and smell the flowers, listen to the birds and take it all in. I love meeting new people big or small and of course I love meeting new dog friends on my walks. My rescue mom calls me her golden child and as much as she would want me to stay, it is time for me to fly  the nest and find my forever family so that my rescue mom can help other dogs in need. I am so looking forward to meeting my forever loving family and I promise I will bring nothing but joy and happiness to your life if you are willing to give me a chance.  TEMPERAMENT • I am one happy go lucky girl who loves all people, but  i can be a bit shy and need to trust the people firt so please give me a little time to get to know you. I mean, a 40+ hour flight and all the new faces and the unknown environment can be very scary for a dog. With love and patience, I will learn to trust you and be the sweet loving girl that I am. • I never displayed any type of aggression towards people or my many furry siblings at the shelter.  Now that I have a home for the first time in my life, I want my foster mom all to myself.  I get jealous of the other dogs in the home and try to chase them away when they go near her. So I would be best as the only dog in the home. But I love playing with other dogs outside the home so I am hoping I could go to a dog park once in awhile. • I love receiving affection.  If you are willing to give me a little time to get to know you, I promise, I will give you everything I have to give.  ENERGY LEVEL: Moderate/high, By nature, I am very calm but given that I am still only 1.5 years old, I would love my walks,  playtime and outdoor activities. My goal is to always be in good shape and stay healthy.  I think, once I learn how to play with doggy toys or fetch the ball, it would be so much fun if we could have play sessions together! I can’t wait! GETS ALONG WITH:  Kids - UNKNOWN, even though I used to live with little humans at the shelter, my rescue mom didn't take any pictures of me with them!  Dogs – yes but I need introduction. I tend to get really attached to my human and sometimes i want them all to myself. I got jelouse of one of my foster siblings and didnt get along with her but I was really good with my other foster siblings. Cats  – OH YES PREY DRIVE: None noted whatsoever but I have never seen a squirrel, I may end up chasing one to say hello. FEARS:  My rescue mom has always treated me with love and respect therefore, I have never had a reason to be fearful. I may be a little nervous due to travel and new surroundings but in time, with love and patience and support, I will be back to being my happy self. TRAINING:Leash skills – work in progress! I will need some training to master walking on leash. Walking off leash is off limits for the time being till I learn my new ways.  House trained – unknown– You see, I live at the shelter where we freely roam around. I go pee outside, but I have never lived in a house so please be prepared to help me learn because my rescue mom is super busy and has no time to train all of us. I know how to pee on a pad and I may even know how to not pee inside. If not, I promise you that I will master peeing outside in no time! I am also very smart and eager to learn. My rescue mom cares for over 100 dogs at the shelter and does not have much time to show me any tricks, but I am so eager and willing to learn some tricks, especially if there is food involved!  Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems!Basic training should be taken seriously and should begin within a day or two of arrival. After your dog has settled in, check out courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.  HEALTH NOTES:I have been spayed, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. I have a clean bill of health and other than my little tick there is nothing wrong with me!  ADOPTION FEE:My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD + applicable taxes, which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver. Due to ongoing limits on Vancouver (YVR) flights, additional fees will apply if I have to fly through another city. Unaccompanied Cargo costs within Canada range from $275-$500 per dog (size depending). LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs. NOTE: once I find a family, I will be on the first available flight out of the Middle East seeing as I need to leave here ASAP! If a direct flight to Vancouver is not immediately available, the cost to fly me via unaccompanied cargo from Montreal/Toronto to Vancouver will not be optional.If you would like to increase the chance of me coming sooner, my rescuer may be able to secure a cargo flight from the Middle East. This cost will likely be between $1200-3800 USD, dependent on size.  Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters.

Unfortunately, due to recently introduced regulations by the CDC, dogs from Lebanon can no longer be imported into the US. Therefore, this dog is only available to Canadian residents. Helloooooo Canadaaaaa! My name is Kyros and here is some info about me: Breed: American Pitbull Terrier Age: 6 years Gender: male Weight: 28 kgs/ 61lbs Height: tbd Witnesses saw me being dumped from a car on a busy highway. Terribly shameful thing for someone to do. Thank goodness my rescuer saved me. After my rescue, my old owner was identified and my rescuer discovered that I’ve lived most of my life (5 years) tied outside a garage through winter and summer. Horrible again. I got adopted shortly after (6 months) and unfortunately my owner passed away due to a sudden heart attack. So sad. We were great together and he was helping me learn. After that, I have been placed in a paid boarding facility, where I am extremely depressed and barely eating. I am an extremely loyal and protective dog. I often get depressed and stop eating if I am not with a human for a long period of time. I warm up to people very quickly and love to bond with humans. I stay close to my human and give them a lot of sloppy kisses and love. I can be trained easily once I trust the person, you just need to find my motivation (usually vocal and physical praise.) I was initially reactive towards all dogs, but with training and some socialization from my previous owner, I was able to approach female dogs in a playful way without reacting. See my video. Though still not friendly with male dogs at all (have a bite history with a male dog). I will never be the dog who can be left off-leash in a park, but with proper training and leadership, I can be a very good dog and companion! Through the work my owner had done, I can walk past barking male dogs (with a secure fence separating us) without flinching (before I was adopted, I used to lunge and pull right away), but if one of them crosses a line and annoys me, I will still lunge and snap at them. If my training is resumed, I'm sure I can improve further. I showed definite improvement with someone taking the time to work with me. The best home would be one without young children or other pets. I will do well with 1.5 hours of walking per day and around 30 minutes of running or tug play. It would be ideal to be in a home with a fenced space for off-leash play, since I cannot be left with other dogs. It would be grand if I could go to a Pitbull knowledgeable home. ENERGY LEVEL: Moderate I GET ALONG WITH: Dogs, ok with females (on leash only) and not friendly at all with males. Cats, unknown, but not likely Kids, unknown. I greet kids (7-10 yrs) during walks, but have never lived with one. I seem friendly and kind with them during walks. PREY DRIVE: High FEARS: none that my rescue mom knows of! I do get jumpy if someone does a lot of sudden movements around me due to my abusive history. TRAINING: some Leash skills – I am leash reactive, so wil need continued work on this. My previous owner was teaching me how to walk nicely on the leash, but I still pull a lot! House trained – I was in a home before, but need a refresher! Other tricks – sit and stay HEALTH NOTES: I am a healthy boy. I am fully vaccinated and neutered. I am also microchipped! My adoption fee is $650.00 CAD + applicable taxes, which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver. I would likely fly through Montreal, see extra costs below.

Hi everyone, my name is Laboo. I am a 3 year old, 18 lb, Maltese/Miniature Poodle mix who is just about the happiest dog you will ever meet. Despite having been abused in my previous life in the middle east, I am a very joyful and confident pup who has lots of personality. My spirit was never broken by the neglect I faced there. I have spent the past year in a wonderful home where I was much loved and well cared for. But my owner was no longer able to keep me due to serious health problems. So I find myself homeless once again. For about the first month that I was a in my foster home, I would bite my foster mom if she tried to handle me by picking me up or even petting me. Changing homes is very stressful for me. But she just left me alone and eventually I found myself trusting her and have stopped biting her entirely. I am even okay with strangers petting me. So my new owner just has to give me the space and time I need to feel safe. I currently live happily live with several dogs. I love playing with other dogs and have never met one I didn't like. I have never reacted with aggression towards another dog, even if another dog acts aggressively towards me. I am a player, not a fighter. My favourite game is "chase me". I will race around like the wind trying to get the other dogs to chase after me. One of the dogs in my foster home is Temo. He and I are best buddies and play with each other all the time. He is a highly traumatized dog who has a history of terrible abuse. He was pretty much shut down when I met him. But I have helped bring him out of his shell and start to heal. He really needs me to help recover from his PTSD. So we need to be adopted together.  It will be a very special person who will adopt the two of us. Temo also needs to be left alone once he moves to a new home as he will also bite in the beginning if he is touched. But it will take him much longer than me to relax and feel safe. After two months in our foster home, Temo is now jumping up onto our foster mom's lap. He has come along way for the dog who was afraid to leave his crate. But he still can't be touched so the angel who saves us both will need to be very patient with him. Temo and I love to play outside so a fenced yard is very important to us. On off leash walks, I love zipping around and exploring. But I will always come back and check in with you so I am awesome on off leash hikes. Once we are back home though, I am calm and relaxed and happy to just hang out with you. I love affection and very much enjoy hanging out in a warm lap. Like all dogs, I don't much like being left alone at home and will bark for a minute or two after you leave. But then I settle down and become quiet and am not at all destructive. I have been in doggie daycare and did just great there. In fact I was a big hit and was the popular guy who all the other dogs wanted to play with, a testament to my incredible charisma and charm. Because I don't like being handled for the first few weeks, I'm not a dog who can live with young kids who might treat me like a toy and handle me roughly. But living with older kids who will treat me gently and with respect would be fine. I adore people so the more the merrier as far as I am concerned.  It isn't known how I am with cats but it is suspected I wouldn't hurt one but might get right in their face to try and get them to play. Or I may completely ignore them. I can be tested with cats if someone applies for me who has one.   Temo and I are dreaming of the amazing person who will see the two of us and know that we need them to rescue us and give us a safe and loving home.  Our adoption fee together is $750. We are vaccinated, neutered and microchipped. show less

Name: LENNIE (Leo) Breed: Lab/Anatolian Shepard mix Age: 3 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, housetrained Region: Middle East Hi There, 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. I can be cautious around strangers, until I get to know them. I will sit in a corner and observe them for a while. A good solution to this is a gentle voice and treats. Then I will start to come out of my shell and warm up to them. I’m a very handsome boy, who is good with other dogs. I am housetrained, big plus. Just teach me the proper place to go at my new home. I will need leash training yet. A smart boy like me should learn rather well. My adoption fee is $650.00 CAD + applicable taxes.

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 Leonora and here is a little info about me: Breed: Dachshund/Spitz mix Age: 2 yrs Gender: Female Weight: 4.5 kg Height: tbd NEW UPDATE: Leo continues to amaze us with her determination and progress.  She is really motivated to walk again and loves to play with her foster siblings.  Leo's gait is becoming less erratic and more purposeful  - continued rehab. therapy will help her with this.  We have also measured her for a doggie wheelchair, so she can take longer walks outside.  Leo has an appointment with the vet for an assessment next week, and we plan to have her start swimming therapy soon to build muscle tone.  Leo requires a special diaper for the swimming rehab. as she is incontinent.  She also needs a special kibble which is prescribed to help prevent urinary tract infections (a common complication for paralyzed dogs).  This sweet courageous pup is affectionate and funny - she has a kind nature and loves to be petted.  With continued support, we believe Leo will be able to walk again - and we are doing all we can to help her achieve this goal.  https://youtu.be/4VREZ9YnJQw https://youtu.be/dtOg1AIsvYg. Update from Leonora's foster:  Leonora has been with us one week and is settling in very well.  She is curious and engaging and gets along very well with other respectful small dogs.  She loves to cuddle.  Leonora is also very determined and has already shown off her wobbly walk - she will be getting a wheelchair soon and we will start therapy to improve her ability to walk independently.   Rescued from an abusive situation in the Middle East, I had been injured. My rescuer got me in for surgery. I currently can't walk without help now. I am doing physiotherapy (hydrotherapy) and am on my way to doing better. My doctor said about 50% of my ability to walk could come back. I have some present movement in my front legs, but my rear is disabled. Currently I am doing hydrotherapy. I am eager to please and to learn. You will find me very calm, but also shy. I'm great with humans, as well as other dogs and cats. I am kind and love to be petted https://youtu.be/rZc74xx46Pg, https://youtube.com/shorts/a2rwouYSOAk. I will kiss my humans to show how much I love them. I can be lazy, but am funny too. Though I can be nervous, I am not sensitive to sound. I may need slow intro to men sometimes. Since it is illegal for dogs to walk outside in my country, the outside environment is a bit scary, thus I prefer to stay inside. Maybe if you have a grassy yard, I would learn it is nice to be out though. Though I lack confidence, I am pretty adaptable and can be happy with a new situation quickly. If you have another dog who can help me settle in, that'd be great. I am fine as an only dog too though. If you are willing to work to help me regain some mobility, I will be your bestest buddy ever.

My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: I am scared of the outside environment. I can sometimes be scared of men. Training: yes Leash skills: yes, I can walk with a leash and wheelchair (but I will need a wheelchair there.) House trained: Yes, I have control over her my faculties, and all you need to do is help me to get outside for my business. Health notes: mobility issue. I can't walk on my own presently. I will need to continue physiotherapy (hydrotherapy) for about another month (through June.)  Unknown if a vet there will decide if there are any other helps for me. I am vaccinated. Spaying has been postponed, until I recover from my surgery and spend more time in physiotherapy. My spay will be the responsibility of my adopter should I be adopted before the vet deems I can be here. Spaying is required for my adoption to be finalized. 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 flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

Hello out there. My name is Lizelle and here is a little info about me: Breed: Canaan Dog mix Age: 1 year Gender: Female Weight: 18 kg Height: ~50 cm PUPDATE: Wooohooo, lookie me. I am showing strength putting weight standing on my left rear leg. https://youtu.be/mH3xXor5g1c. I am currently living in a foster home on Vancouver Island where I am getting therapy to help improve my mobility. I am trying so hard, as I really, really want to walk again. But until I can, I still race around with my buddies. I have a great zest for life that not even the limited use of my rear legs dampens.  My start in life was challenging. I was hit by a car at two months of age. A lady found me, but did not immediately take me to a vet, as she had no money to do so. She did her best for me, but sadly the delay in treatment means I can’t use my back legs. However, an operation may be able to restore the use of my back legs. LALDR is working to raise the money for this surgery.  Being very affectionate, I just love hoomans. In fact, I get very sad when my foster mom gives attention to other dogs. So if you have lots of loving to give, I am  Sometimes I won’t eat my food If there are other dogs in the house, I would love to play with them. My paralysis makes that challenging but as you can see from my video I am up to it. I drag myself around with great skill. I am incontinent so my schedule is predictable but, with time and patience, we have been able to work out a schedule.  My foster mom says I am eager to learn, and I want to do everything I can to be the best dog ever. Although I am very comfortable with other dogs, I don’t know about cats or kids. Sadly, my life has been spent inside a home, so my dream is to experience the great outdoors. I would love to have a backyard that I could explore. One thing to know about me is that I have a strong bond with my buddy Bondoka. We wrestle and play together: https://youtu.be/_v86Pfow16w and she cares for me! My ideal home would be one where we could visit one another sometimes. However, we are up for adoption separately, as our foster mom says that since we are both so outgoing and friendly we will adjust well to being separated.  Even with my special needs, I know there are wonderful people in Canada who would give me a chance for a better life. Please be my guardian angel :) New Aug vids: https://youtu.be/_o_2PgZH-n0, https://youtube.com/shorts/kHUCbalp-Jw.

My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: Not having a forever hooman to love me. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: none Leash skills: No. But even with a wheelchair, I can still be taught how to walk beside you & not pull. House trained: No. I am incontinent due to my paralysis. Health notes: Disabled. The vet tells me my pelvis was broken when I was hit by a car. My back bones are not straight and my feet aren’t right - they will need braces, if I am to try and walk again. I am soon to be spayed/neutered. I am vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is $650.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. Our fee together is $1400.

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 should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training 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. While most dogs find escorting passengers flying directly to Vancouver, some will find flights through Toronto or  Montreal. In that case, additional fees will apply to fly your dog to Vancouver by cargo. Unaccompanied cargo costs within Canada range from $350 - $550 depending on the size of the dog. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs. The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs. Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.

Hi ya. My name is LOLI and here is a little info about me: Breed: shepherd mix Age: 8 months Gender: female Weight: tbd Height: tbd Rescued along with my brother, Boli, when we were only a few weeks old, our mother was killed by city workers. My brother and me were the only puppies that survived. Found by a good hearted samaritan, she took us to her home. Afterwords, when we got a little bigger, we were sent to a shelter, but because we were very small, bigger dogs attacked us. For a while we had very deep and infested wounds from the attack, but we were fortunately nursed back to health. We are completely healthy now, but too young to be spayed and neutered. My brother and I cannot wait to come to Canada! We are still puppies, so we love to play. We are bonded and it would be best for us to be adopted together, but if push comes to shove we could be adopted separately. If it means coming to Canada we are willing to compromise! Energy level: moderate Gets along with: Other dogs: yes Cats: unknown Kids: unknown Prey drive: unknown/none observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: unknown/none observed, I am a pretty confident puppy I am not afraid of much. Training: none Leash training: no. Please be prepared to train me. Housetrained: no. Please be prepared to help me learn! Health notes: I am too young yet to be spayed/neutered, but I am vaccinated and microchipped. Spay/neuter will be the responsibility of the adopter and is required for my adoption to be finalized. Our adoption fee is $1500 CAD plus applicable taxes for us both or $800, if just me. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

I was found with my other siblings in front of an unfinished construction site by our 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. I am a little shy and sometimes scared of men but once I trust you I will be your bestie for life. I like to be in a home when there are other dog/s so I can play with them and keep busy. I never had to wear collar at shelter but I saw other dogs wearing it and boy it looks cool, I bet I can learn fast how to handle it of course with your help!  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. Due to the ever-changing extenuating circumstances brought on by the Global Pandemic, we are struggling to transport dogs to Canada. 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 have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $650.00 CAD + applicable taxes, this includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.

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: male Weight: 27 kg Height: 60 cm FOSTER UPDATE: Love is in Vancouver! He lives up to his name - he's a bundle of love! If you’re looking for cuddles, warm welcomes and a super calm dog, he is your man. He does need a secure yard as he likes to explore. His calm demeanour makes him very special and loving. He is very quiet and loves his walks. He is fine sharing his food and never gets aggressive. Everyone comments on how handsome he is – he’s a real head turner. He’s also very loyal and will want to spend time with his family, so someone home for part of the day would suit him best. Be Love’s hero! 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 a 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 very brave. She Finally 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 of 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. My attitude is calm but playful. I love getting pets from people. Overall, I am a kind and loving-hearted pup. My rescuer just spent time with me and said: I am calm and a very laid back dog. Also that I am good with cats indoors and a good listener for following commands, including leaving the kitties be. I do like to chase them outdoors though, go figure. Of course, I will need to learn commands in English now.  Additional Videos: https://youtu.be/LiiOg-sdNkU https://youtu.be/lryxooBf_9k New Feb 2022 Energy Level: moderate Get along with: Dogs, yes Cats, yes, per rescuer, but no video proof 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! Health notes: I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $750.00 CAD + applicable taxes.

Lucy Breed: Saluki mix Age: 6 yrs Gender: female, spayed  Height: 65 cm Weight: 24 kg   Hi everyone! I am Lucy, and it is very nice to meet you! A good Samaritan found me in the middle of the street hungry, with an infection. She took me to the vet and then to a boarding facility. Apparently, my jaw was broken as well. The doctor told her that somebody had probably beaten me. My jaw is completely healed now and I have no issues eating. Once I was at the boarding facility, I was able to get all the food that I wanted! Thank God for that! I love food, but I am not food aggressive. I don’t like it with the other dogs come around me when I am eating but I have no issue with people. And I don’t like dogs that are too clingy and want to play too much. After all I am a middle-aged dog now! I never get aggressive with other dogs. I get along with my doggy friends very well. And I have been told that I have a very sweet disposition with people and children. I really hope that I can spend the rest of my days with a family that will love me preferably in Canada. I have heard life there is a lot more stress free from where I currently live. Please help my dreams come true!

UPDATE: Yes indeed, folks, I am now in Canada! I have been with a loving family but they have realized that I am a country girl. I am quite nervous in the city but in a less urban area where it is quieter and there is more green space, I flourish. So having a yard is a MUST to adopt me! I love playing off leash with other dogs, chasing balls, and going for car rides. I am affectionate and I also love learning basic commands. I love meeting new people, especially when they are calm and they give me belly rubs! As the song says, "country roads, take me home!" I am really looking forward to meeting my new adopters and showing them what a marvelous dog I can be. Hi there! My name is MAGGI and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO:Breed (best guess): Australian Shepherd/Border Collie Mix Age: 10 mos (approx) Gender: Female Weight: 50lbs RESCUE STORY: I was really lucky and was rescued when I was only 2 months old! I had some skin problems that were cured very quickly. I am soft and silky and sweet! You can also see from my videos that I am very smart and have gotten a lot of training already. I rarely bark, I and I love kids! I'm like the perfect dog! I have a lot of energy, so I need a family who can keep up to me! Check out my video and watch me show off for you! I am currently living with a family in an apartment building in Vancouver. But that environment doesn't suit me well. I need the calm and quiet of a detached home with a fenced yard.  TEMPERAMENT: Calm, playful, affectionate ENERGY LEVEL: Medium GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – YES Dogs – YES Cats – UNKNOWN PREY DRIVE: Yes, please be patient with me as we work on this.  HEALTH NOTES:  I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped.

UPDATE: Maki is currently living in a foster home on Vancouver Island and is doing very well there. He has a high energy level and so appreciates several playmates either at home or at the dog park. His foster parents say he constantly brings the ball to him, asking for playtime. He just loves forest and wilderness walks and can easily keep up with bigger dogs. Maki's relationships with humans definitely benefit from rules of contact set up by Maki himself. He's afraid of being approached when lying down or sleeping and may nip if approached on such occasions. If a human allows him these boundaries, he will be a very pleasant dog with lots of adventurous spirit. My Rescue Story: Calling all Beagle lovers!  I am Maki, a 7 year old Beagle/Jack Russel mix, originally from S.Korea.  I was abandoned in 2014 and rescued by a loving person who I have spent the last 7 years with.  Unfortunately she can no longer keep me, so she wants to send me for my best life in Canada.   My Energy level and Temperament: I have fairly high energy and walk fairly well on a leash, though I can pull at times, so a harness may be a better option for me.  I am very highly food motivated so probably will be very trainable.  There is no resource guarding, but if you try to take my treat away, I do try to hang on to it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGOieuctzJU&list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jw61EnG8ETvinfBaFCMesQ-&index=7 One thing that scares me is grooming and vets.  I am not aggressive, just really scared.  As long as someone holds me and pets me through the grooming process, I can be groomed.  The more you desensitize me to it the better for both of us!  If a vet needs to draw bloodwork though, they may have to use anesthesia to do it because of how scared I am.  (Bloodwork can be done on request prior to flight to Canada) Oh and bring on the lakes!  As you can see from my video, I love love love water.  So what do you say? Apply for me today and hopefully I can be with you soon! I am neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee of $650 + tax, includes my airfare to Vancouver or Seattle.
