Due to current travel restrictions there may be a long delay before I can get to you. Please only apply for me if you are willing to wait. SHMOO (Shrewd) Breed: Golden Retriever/Germ Shep Age: 5 years Gender: Fe, spayed Wgt/Hgt: 52 lbs / 26-1/2 inches Relations: scared of big dogs, others ok/ unknown cats & kids Energy level: moderate/average Highlights: kind natured, sweet, quiet Region: Middle East Nope, I’m not related to the cartoon, but I’m super cute anyway! I’m Shmoo. 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. Right now, I live in a shelter, but it’s been hard for me since I’m scared of other big dogs. So I really need to find a home to be more at ease. A moderate activity level, but calmer environment would suit me. I’m quite calm myself. Kids and cats are not ones I have been around, so I can’t tell if I’d like them. Better not having young, fast moving kids around yet though.  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. I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $700.00 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. Owing to the new hotel quarantine rules for international arrivals in Canada, it has become more difficult to find flight volunteers to bring dogs to Vancouver. It could be six to eight months before your dog could arrive. 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. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live. 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. More information can be found on our website. *Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza. Bordatella is not given, as that has not been a problem in the Middle East.  show less

My rescuer is trying to get me to Canada as soon as possible. Hoping the wait won't be too long. TALLA Breed: Siberian Husky Age: 3 yrs Gender: fe, spayed Wgt/Hgt: 60 lbs / 22 inches Energy level: moderate high to high Relations:  good with dogs /unkniwn cats & kids Highlights: vocal "talker", cuddly, playful, possessive of stuff, scared of yelling Region: Middle East My personality is pretty well rounded. I like to play and run, but slso to relax in a cool corner if the house. I am active, yet like a good cuddle and to be petted. Found in the Middle East when I was almost a year old near death while pregnant, my rescuer did all she could to save me. They say I was brave to fight the battle to stay alive for myself and my unborn puppies. I indeed recovered and shortly thereafter gave birth. A very kind couple kept me and my pups for the past 2 years. Now facing financial hardships where they live, the couple has to sell their home and move into an apartment. No more yard, no more room for us, not a lot of money to care for us any further. So, we need a home. My son, Marsey, is (or will soon be) also posted. I tend to be possessive of my food bowl, toys and bed. So, probably best as an only pet in the home. I do become very scared of people yelling or violent behaviour and will run away, since I had been severely beaten and abused. I need someone understanding of giving me time to learn I am safe. A quieter environment will suit me best. It would be great if I could still have a yard, but not a requirement. Hope you like husky music (it's solid 'Gold', just like my name means), cause I like to woowoo and talk to you. I am pretty active, as most huskys are. Oh, I am a bit of an attention seeker. No need to worry about wondering where I am, I'll be right there awaiting some snuggles. I do get along with other dogs for play once introduced, though I have never been around cats or kids. Gosh, I'd sure love to get to a cooler climate, like Canada or the Pacific Northwest. I can be there soon, if you will just submit your app and get the process rolling. I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $700.00 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 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): For USA/Canada border transfer (via a Brokerage Company): $370 weekdays. Two dogs crossing, $270 per dog. Three dogs, $215 per dog. Four dogs, $190 per dog. Prices are higher on the weekend. Unaccompanied Cargo costs within Canada: $275-$475 per dog.

Hiya! I’m Tango, a 1-year old saluki/shepherd mix from Bahrain. I’m 45 lbs and stand 74 cm tall (from the ground to my head). I won't lie, I'm pretty darn handsome dontcha think?  Me and my bro, Cash, were rescued when we were 10 days old. Our mama had been hit by a car and we weren’t going to survive on the streets for long without her. Luckily, some kind souls picked us up and took us to the BARC shelter. We are now living in a foster home with our foster pops and he takes great care of us. Guess what, Foster Pops even wants to help pay for us to come to Canada— isn’t that amazing?? Cash just got to go to his forever home in Canada in April- I want to join him in the Pacific North West SOOO BAD!! Wink wink, nudge nudge ;) Seeing as I’ve been living in a house with 7 other dogs, I’m very well socialized and am great with other doggies. Not a fan of kitty cats though, so I’d like a feline-free home please! Being a young lad, I can still be pretty bouncy and rambunctious, so probably best for me to go to a home without young children who could get knocked down during my Zoomies. I can be shy upon first introductions, but after I have some time to warm up to new hoomans, I am a total love bug. I am very intelligent and will probably excel in some obedience training classes! Being a Saluki, I love to run-- so it would be amazing if my new home had a backyard or a big park nearby. I hear spring and summer is coming soon in Canada... so what a grrrreat time to be outside with a pup! I play hard but I also snooze hard too... and that's when I L.O.V.E. to cuddle. Ahhhh to have hoomans to cuddle me all the time... that's a pups dream come true! I am neutered, vaccinated, and micro-chipped. My adoption fee of $750 includes my airfare to Canada, presuming I can be accompanied by a Flight Volunteer.  **NOTE: TANGO has a sponsor in Bahrain who would like to contribute to his unaccompanied cargo travel costs, this can be discussed in more detail once an adopter is found for him** PLEASE NOTE: There is no expectation for the adopter to pay any more than the adoption fee itself. We simply provide these as options in case an adopter wishes to receive their dog sooner than it would take to fly their dog to Vancouver with a flight volunteer. In the event you wish to choose one of these options, LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding the costs and will ask for your approval before any travel arrangements are made.   Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.

TEQUILA  (Tala) Breed: Husky mix Age: 1 yr Gender: fe, spayed Wgt/Hgt: 44 lbs / 18 inches Energy level: high Relations: good with dogs and kids /NOT good with cats Highlights: friendly, mild food aggression, playful Region: Middle East Can you say ooooo. Have a look at my eyes, see if you don't make that sound. I have bi-color eyes. Piercing blue and melt your heart brown. Sadly, when I was found on the streets in the Middle East with my Mama, one of my paws was missing a toe on my right rear. Strange because my mother was missing a different toe. It was infected and so the vets treated it. It is all healed now, no problem. I get along with other dogs and kids. I am really bonded with my Mama, Margarita, so would like to remain in a home with her. I tend to get nervous and howl within minutes if seperated from her. Cats are not a creature I like though, so please don't have any of those in the house please. I have a bit of mild food aggression, but that should easily work out with some consistent training, as you see they are working in in our videos being treated with another dog. It is not with people or my mama, just other dogs. https://youtu.be/oSHFyzs7EMI. I am playful and full of energy, so having a yard is a must and an active family will be important. I am a sweet pup who likes getting attention and trying to give you a slurp. I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. Our adoption fee is $1500.00 CAD + applicable taxes for both of us. This includes our transportation to Canada, if we are 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.

This is NOT a dog belonging to LALDR. This is a courtesy posting. Please do not contact us, as we know nothing about the dog. For more information, please contact: swhitehouse@givebackcontracting.com. **The owners are looking for a long-term foster for two lovely dogs.** Tessa is an 8 year old, spayed Purebred Siberian Husky. She is good with Kids and Cats. Not good with rabbits, chickens or other small animals. Doesn’t like small yappy dogs, has pinned a few down at the dog park but never bitten any. She is a big suck when she wants something, but has the husky attitude and likes her space as well. Needs to be tied up or in a dog run because she likes to explore and will not come back if she gets off leash until she is tired. She enjoys daily walks/runs and loves the dog park. Tywinn is a 7 year old, neutered Lab Mastiff Cross. He was acquired as a rescue dog from a reserve in the NW Territories. He has a micro-chip. Good with kids and cats and all other small animals. He is a big dog but very gentle and relaxed. He has good recall if by himself, but if he is off leash with Tessa then he will follow her and take off exploring. He also has lots of energy and enjoys daily walks and or trips to the dog park. If you are interested in being a long-term foster for Tessa and Tywinn please contact swhitehouse@givebackcontracting.com. show less

Hi There, I am Theo (which is short for Theodore but you can call me Teddy, because I am a big teddy bear) a 3 year old Sapsali Terrier mix that is 35 lbs and 19 inches high. I was rescued by some wonderful people from the city pound in S Korea when my name was put on the euthanasia list.  There was even a collar on me with another name, showing I had a family at one point, but they abandoned me there.  It is all good, that is behind me now and all it means is that I am available to come live with you! My handler describes me a a very obedient and calm boy with a moderate amount of energy.  I am also pretty smart, since I already know a few things like sit, wait and shake a paw. I rarely bark and haven't shown any tendencies for separation anxiety.  However car rides make me a bit scared, mostly that just means a whole lot of drooling going on.   If there are other dogs with you,that is great, I get along with pretty much all dogs, even cranky little ones (who after rejecting me, I just wanted to get away from) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kgs5lDj-LJw&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwrtZW3SY04DQjO69HBy1sK&index=4     If you have kitties, we can probably coexist if they uh....keep their distance, not going to lie, those little things are super scary.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knU9PxzCX7c&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwrtZW3SY04DQjO69HBy1sK&index=5  (Don't judge me)  Kids would probably be ok with the proper introductions, just because of how friendly and calm I am.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGKCGonGUFo&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwrtZW3SY04DQjO69HBy1sK&index=2   So if you are looking for a really good boy, that can cuddle like a teddy bear (and looks like one too!) and still has some energy for walks (and I am good on a leash!)  or play with you, then hop on over to apply for me and bring me home! I am spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee of $650 + tax, includes my airfare to Vancouver or Seattle.

TOFINO (Tobi) Breed: Chesapeake Bay Ret / Shepard Age: 5 yrs Gender: M, neutered Wgt/Hgt: 70 lbs / 25-1/2 in Relations: Good dogs / Unkn kids, cats Energy level: Moderate Highlights: highly intelligent, likes snuggling Region: Middle East I am quite the smart boy and just look at my luxurious ruddy brown colored coat. Handsome, hunh? My foot had been run over by a car when I was found. I lost a toe because of it. No worries, I have 15 others to help me walk. I have no trouble running and playing like everybody else. I am good with other dogs. I used to get into trouble bullying other males sometimes, as I would bare my teeth and growl. You know how us boys can be, trying to compete. I have had training though & now do fine with my male counterparts.  Never lived around kids or cats, so no knowledge of how I might get along with them. I am quite curious about cats when I see them though, so possibly might want to chase them. It is probably best to have a cat free home. I will need some basic training, as I am not yet house trained. I really haven't much been in a house. But, my intelligence should lend to quick learning. I am a very kind dog and I can be playful, so I hope you will enjoy teaching me some games. Of course, I am not opposed to just snuggling either though. See my contented look and smiley face in the photos? Sure hope you are ready to bring me into your home soon. I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped.

She sure gets a lot of compliments on her looks, and Willow is looking for a forever family that will take the time to discover her quirky personality too!    Willow is a curious, intelligent, fiercely loyal Akita mix. She does happy dances for treats and walks, her favourite things! She's a quick learner, and loves showing off all her tricks (especially when there's a tasty reward involved). She’s only 2 years young, so the sky’s the limit for her!   Sometimes we call her a #chillow because she's so relaxed at home. She snoozes all day while her fosters work and keeps herself occupied. She doesn't have any bad habits, no separation anxiety, and can be left loose in the house while you're gone, which makes for a great welcome at the door when you're back!   Although Willow feels very safe and relaxed at home, she can get pretty scared with all the sights and sounds once she gets outdoors. She gets nervous around other dogs, so when they get too close to her she tells them she needs space by barking at them! She's getting better at being around dogs and is cautiously excited to meet new humans, especially when she's rewarded with tasty treats! (Treats > dogs). She even has doggy and human friends that she looks forward to seeing because she's met them many times. She walks well on a leash with a Halti, but pulls a bit when she gets excited or finds a new smell. When she is comfortable with her surroundings outside, she'll show you how excited she is with some zoomies!   Willow has a clean bill of health! She's house trained and crate trained, microchipped, spayed, and fully updated on all her shots. She loves car rides, and is very good with vet visits. She's currently in a foster home in Burnaby, where she's been for the last 8 months. Willow wants a home where she can have her own safe space to relax in, with no other pets. Because Willow likes her space, we also recommend no young kids in the home, and an experienced owner. She would thrive in a calm, quiet environment where she can spend lots of quality time with her humans.   See more about Willow’s journey on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/willow_theakitamix/   For more information on Willow, please email Chris (chrisstefiuk@gmail.com) or Nika's Society (nikassociety@mail.com). show less

*Please note this is NOT a dog belonging to LALDR. This is a courtesy posting. Your completed application will be forwarded to Willow's owner. She will get in touch with you at that time. Meet Willow! Willow and her puppy Biscuit were rescued from the streets of a middle eastern city. Please note that Willow and Biscuit will need to find a home together as they are extremely bonded, Biscuit even had to come to the vet with Willow when she got spayed. Willow's front left paw is shorter than her right so she tends not to use it much but she is a very sweet and gentle girl and loves to follow Biscuit around everywhere she goes. They are both good with other dogs, cats and children.    For more information please contact Marlene @ marlene_rudolph@hotmail.com show less

**YUMA MUST HAVE A LARGE AND INTERESTING FENCED YARD  Yuma - currently fostered in Langley Breed: German Shepherd mix Age: 2 yr Gender: fe, spayed Wgt/Hgt: 50 lbs / 22 inches Energy level: moderate Relations: great with dogs once comfortable with them/good with kids/not good with cats Highlites: playful, tripaw, joyful Hi everyone, my name is Yuma. I am a beautiful and very happy girl, but that hasn't always been true for me. I used to live in the Middle East where at the very tender age of eight months I became pregnant. I was much too young to become a mother and all my puppies died. In addition my rear leg had been badly damaged, probably from being hit by a car. In the country I come from, dogs are considered vermin and people often deliberately hit us with their cars in an attempt to kill us. The wounds became badly infected and I was in terrible pain by the time I was finally rescued. The vet I was taken to wasn't able to save my leg and it had to be amputated. But you would never know I was a tripaw, I am as mobile and active as any of my four-legged friends. I can't go on long steep hikes but normal walks are perfect for me.  I am a very loving and affectionate girl who has a real love of life. I enjoy the company of other dogs once I trust them. I currently live happily with several. But it takes me quite awhile to feel safe with other dogs. It is difficult for a potential adopter to take the time I need to get familiar with their dog. So it is best if I am the only dog in the home. Cats are great fun to chase so I can't live with them either. People are my thing - I just adore them. I have the cutest habit of splaying my front legs out wide when I want you to play with me. And if you pet me and stop and I want some more, I will wrap my front legs around yours to trap you and keep you with me. Adorable, right? But when we aren't playing and I am not exploring the yard my favourite thing to do is to lie outside with a chew stick. I am a really easy dog to care for, and to love. City life is a bit too noisy and hectic for me (perhaps it takes me back to my terrible life in the streets), so I would prefer a suburban or rural home. I really love being outside so a large, interesting fenced yard to explore and romp around in is essential for me. I am reactive to other dogs when walked on leash, so it would be best if I was walked where I won't run into a lot unfamiliar dogs. A trainer who has worked with me is confident that the more exposure to unfamiliar dogs I get, the more relaxed I will be with them. Unfortunately my foster mom isn't able to give me that exposure as she lives with several dogs on five fenced acres which is where we do our walking and exploring. The good part is that even though I am reactive on walks towards other dogs, I can't pull very hard on the leash due to my missing rear leg. While I am a joyful soul,  I am not at all hyper or high energy. At home I am very calm and relaxed. As you can see from my video, I love playing in water. To be honest, I love everything about my new and improved life in Canada. There is no way you could be unhappy with me around.  I am spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is $700 plus applicable taxes. *Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza. Bordatella is not given, as that has not been a problem in the Middle East. show less

Due to current travel restrictions related to Covid19 there may be a long delay before I can get to you. Please only apply for me if you are prepared to wait. ZHIVAR Breed: Mastiff mix (Saint Miguel Cattle dog mix) Age: 2 yrs Gender: male, neutered Wgt/Hgt: 60 lbs / 25 inches Energy level: moderate to moderate-low at times Relations: good with dogs & kids (video to come) / unknown cats Highlights: very playful, affectionate, highly food motivated, tripaw Region: Middle East Despite what life throws at me, I am an extremely kind and affectionate guy. Not to mention suuuuper handsome. On the outskirts of a major city in the Middle east is where I was found. My rescuers think I was hit by a car. My leg was pretty damaged, so they had to amputate it. Ah, but you'd never know I had a handicap by the way I am so playful. I live in a shelter that is for dogs with disabilities, so I am surrounded by many other dogs and I get along well with all of them. What can I say? I'm a likeable chap. Haven't been around cats, so hard to say how things would be there. I get along with kids too (video coming.) I love being around people and getting attention. I can be just a wee bit jealous of other dogs getting affection from you too though. I will push up under your arm and to get petted instead of the other dog, but I do it in a cute kinda way, nothing mean. Food is a BIG fav, as in I REALLY like it and suck up my food in like 2 seconds. When I am given nummies, I will tap you on the arm requesting more. Remember Oliver Twist? Please sir, I want some more. Big grin! I could use a place where I can run to dispense my energy and play. There are also times when I can be pretty lazy. I love taking afternoon naps. Hope you are up for some midday snoozin and snugglin. 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 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): For USA/Canada border transfer (via a Brokerage Company): $370 weekdays. Two dogs crossing, $270 per dog. Three dogs, $215 per dog. Four dogs, $190 per dog. Prices are higher on the weekend. Unaccompanied Cargo costs within Canada: $275-$475 per dog. 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. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live. 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. More information can be found on our website. *Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza. Bordatella is not given, as that has not been a problem in the Middle East.  show less
