Greetings. My name is MAURICE and here is a little info about me: Breed: Canaan Dog/Husky mix Age: 3 years 11 months Gender: male Weight: 32 kg Height: 60 cm Highlight(s) about dog: friendly, playful, eager learner, confident Being a friendly, playful guy, I'm sure we could have lots of fun. I am terrific with people and I like other dogs too. Never really seen much in the way of cats, so no idea on how I'd do with those creatures. Likewise with kids, but older ones would be better, so I don't inadvertently knock over a small child. I readily pick up on things, so should train up well. I am confident, independent and assertive, yet clever, loyal and easy to train. Found near the shelter in the West Bank, someone threw me away three years ago. It seems I was a privately owned dog, but got dumped, so my rescuers saved me from a bad fate on the streets. I'm a strong dog, so some training is in order, so I won't pull on you during walks. Maybe we could utilize my characteristic of strength by doing some ski-joring?  Being energetic, I'd do well in a home with a family who likes to have adventures. A yard is a plus (not required), so I can learn to play ball and enjoy bouncing about. Of course, if we can hike or romp on the beach, that is fine too. Crashing on the couch might be pretty nifty too. You will find I am a faithful boy and will show my gratitude being your companion. Energy Level: moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown Kids: unknown Prey drive: unknown/not observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: none Leash skills: no. Please be prepared to train me. House trained: No. Please be prepared to help me learn! Health notes: I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is $750.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

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. Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems. Basic training should be taken seriously, but 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.

Greetings! My name is MEEMI (Mana) and here is some info about me: Breed: Shitzu mix Age: 8 months Gender: Female Weight: 4-1/2 kg Height: 32 cm Bonded with Beebi I was rescued as a puppy from a puppy mill in the Middle East. I was not being sold, because I have a slight deformity in my right paw. It is shorter than the other one. It does not affect my life whatsoever though. A sweet lady saw me and felt sorry for me, so she rescued me. Unbeknownst to her, my mom was being used as a breeding dog and was being injected with hormones daily. I was very distraught to be separated from her and cried every day. The lady felt so bad for me, she decided to go and buy my mama, Beebi (also posted) from the puppy mill, so we could be reunited. She was very against paying for animals, but the man who owned the place would not give me or my mom to her without getting payment. I thank God every day that she did and saved both of us! My name means everlasting in my language. My mom and I play with each other on a regular basis and are very bonded. We are hoping to be homed together, as we are very dependent on one another. We are both so thankful every day that we were rescued and reunited. I am currently staying at a house with three big dogs. I get along with the dogs very well and love to play with them, https://youtu.be/BBQdHeJlthY. I am very playful in general. I get along very well with kids and they love to play with me too, because I am energetic. I am quite the entertainer with my antics. Cats are interesting for play too:  https://youtu.be/PtTrXbAd-qk https://youtu.be/LoAgaNso_lg. A curious girl by nature, you may find me wanting to watch what you are doing. I also love to cuddle, so let's ensure we get in some of that too. Energy level: puppy type high Get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: Yes Kids: Yes Prey Drive: none to low I react well to cats and small animals. I only want to play with them because they are very close to my size. I sometimes just chase cats to play with them, but chasing is mostly my mom‘s job. I am just curious. See video. Fears: none I love everyone and I’m not afraid of anything! Training: I know how to sit. Leash skills: no. Will need patient training. House trained: yes. Be prepared to help me learn where to go at my new home. Health notes: I have no health issues other than the fact that my right paw is shorter than my left one. However, it does not affect my life at all as you can see in the videos. I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. Our adoption fee is $1450.00 CAD + applicable taxes for both of us. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

Hello. My name is MOJO (Mehraban) and here is a little info about me: Breed: Golden Retriever/Alaskan Malemute/Shepard mix Age: 3 years Gender: Male Weight: 30 kg Height: 80 cm Highlight(s): LOVES KIDS!, tripaw, tolerant, loving I am quite the gentleman, as I love to be around kids. Rescued in the Middle East from a cruel attack. I don't know why, but one day a group of men attacked me and stabbed me in my right foreleg. It was in fact very painful, but I am so glad to have escaped that mean village. I finally found a place to hide and stay away from people for quite some time until some kind individuals found me. By the time I was rescued though, it was too late to recover my injured leg and as a result it had to be amputated. So now I live as a tripaw. Surprisingly, I still trust humans and let them pet me. I seem to be good with other dogs (no idea about cats.) I am not protective about my food at all and in fact enjoy eating while being around kids as they are petting me. I like to be decorated with flowers by kids! I know I look cute and photogenic! I would love to have a relaxing home with a loving family who have kids. Surely it doesn't hurt having a bit of good Mojo around the house, right? Grin. Energy Level: Moderate I get along with: Dogs: Yes Cats: unknown Kids: A BIG YES! Fears: unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: Some Leash skills: No. Please be prepared to train me. House trained: Yes. Please be prepared to help me learn where to go in my new home. Health notes: Tripaw. Might need some physiotherapy to improve mobility issues, but at this point it is not a main concern. I have been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

Hi all, my name is Negra, a delightful and gentle, 37 lb, 1.5 year old blue heeler/pointer mix. I was rescued off the streets of Puerto Vallarta when I was pregnant. Pregnant dogs have a difficult time getting enough nutrition living in the streets so rescuers focus on saving us. It took my rescuers two days to capture me as I was a bit wary of their intent. Cruelty is common here so we have to be careful who we trust. But their kindness won me over and I turned myself over to them. They were hoping they could abort my pups but I was too far along. I gave birth to 10 pups and amazingly all but one survived. They are all weaned now and I am spayed and fully recovered so am ready to find my first and last home in Canada.  I’m great with other dogs and cats. It would be nice to share my home with another playful dog as I very much enjoy wrestling with other dogs. As you can see from my video, I may try to play with a cat but if they show no interest, I just ignore them. I haven’t been tested with kids under 13 yrs. I am a shy, submissive dog and it will take me time to warm up to you as I have to make sure you will be kind to me. Giving me treats really helps gain my trust as I am food motivated. Once I know I am safe with you, I will be your goofy best friend.  I am a dream on leash and am house trained. I am eager to learn but need a calm quiet voice to teach me. If I am yelled at, especially by a male, I get so scared that I will cower and may even pee. Having known hunger for much of my life I will gobble down my food. I’m not at all food aggressive but if I am fed nearby another dog, I will dash over to gobble down their food as well. Despite my neediness around food, I will sit and wait before eating it if you ask me to. The heeler in me comes out when strangers enter the home and I will gently nip at their heels. However it takes only a gentle correction for me to stop.  I am an energetic girl so would do best in an active home. Agility training would be an ideal activity for me. If you decide to adopt me you will be getting a very loyal, obedient and loving girl who will adore you for giving me my place in the world.  I am spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is $800.   show less

Hi everyone. My name is Nessy.. Before you read all about me, here is a brief description of me. Breed: Kangal Shepherd Dog Age: 2 yrs Gender: female Weight: 48 kg Height: 71 cm Good with dogs and kids Not good with cats (or hedgehogs - see below) Moderate energy level Despite my rough start to life I am a very joyful and loving girl. My rescuer thinks someone dumped me, as I had a collar. A person in the neighborhood I was found in, whose dog kept barking at me, called the authorities to have me taken to a local shelter where life would have been even worse for me. But fortunately, a kindly man found out about me from a gardener who called him about me and he and came and got me before the shelter could. Sadly, my rescuer has no fenced yard, so I am still kept tied up much of the time which makes me very sad. I can't wait to leave here and get a real home for the first time in my life.  When I do get human interaction I come to life with utter delight. I am a major snuggler and love to play. My other favourite things are romping in water, going for hikes, and kids. I get along great with small dogs and am fine with larger dogs, once I get to know them. But I like to be the boss with bigger dogs at first, so it might be best if I live with a small dog or am the only dog in the home. When meeting other dogs on hikes/walks, I will bark to start, but after a few days knowing them, I will walk fine with them.  Playing is great fun. Admittedly, I don't mind using my weight to my advantage in play (hey, if you're got it, flaunt it, right?) As is common in my country, someone cut my ears half off when I was a puppy. Supposedly this is to stop wolves from grabbing our ears and dragging us away. Often tails are cut off as well for the same reason. But fortunately I managed to keep my beautiful curly tail. Because I have been chained most of my life, I have had no training. And as I am a wonderfully wilful and clever girl, I will need a confident owner who will provide me with gentle leadership. But I am eager to learn and want to please so training me will be fun and easy. And as a bonus I already walk well on leash.  I have some charming quirky qualities. For example I ignore turtles but hedgehogs drive me crazy. (Thankfully I understand you don't run into a lot of hedgehogs on walks in Canada.) And while I ignore modern looking cars, I sometimes bark at older models. (Pretty quirky, right?) This is why I am such an interesting girl. My rescuer says I give joy to everyone I meet. And to top it all off I have the most beautiful, warm eyes that will melt your heart.  I am a healthy, happy girl who will greatly enhance the quality of my new adopter's life. Wouldn't you love to have a big, beautiful, loving and character filled dog to share your life with? Weight check at vet: https://youtu.be/-DyaR07kqpA. Human touch during measuring: https://youtu.be/h6nIEc-U5Ro. I am spayed, vaccinated (to include Bordatella) & microchipped. My adoption fee is $750.

THIS IS A COURTESY POST. PLEASE CONTACT THE PERSON OR GROUP LISTED IN THIS POSTING FOR MORE INFO. DO NOT CONTACT LALDR, AS WE HAVE NO FURTHER INFO ON THE DOG. For info on Nico, please contact: Jacquie at jdballan@hotmail.com Nico Male, Mixed Breed 2-3 years old About 40 lbs, approx 20 inches tall Neutered, full shots, flea medicated Medicated on Gabapentin and Trazodone Special diet of vet-approved food Background on Nico  Adopted as a street dog from Mexico. Rescue center did not inform us fully on Nico’s issues, we were told he was very friendly, especially with other dogs and kids. We were told he is very active and the current foster that had him took him 4-5 walks/day and played fetch 2-3 times/day. No mention of reactivity, or aggression – and we didn’t ask either. We mentioned we lived in an apartment, and they didn’t seem to have any hesitations about that. We did not pay an adoption fee or sign any papers, nor did he have to pay for his transport to the States. We only paid transportation to get him over the border.   When we got him he was very excitable, very friendly and seemed to just love physical affection from everyone and loved playing with dogs. For about a month, it was great – he had some quirks right off the bat like being super sketched out at night, barking at all the sounds in the hallway, and being overly excited when playing which included a lot of mouthing play. He also would eat everything off of the ground, such as rocks, carcasses, poop, food, everything almost.   It all changed when he was playing with some dogs at night (it was dark out), and he got into a fight with another dog that resulted in Nico biting the dog. Then the following week, the owner of that dog approached me on the street to harass me about my dog. We were both terrified and I believe since then, Nico has turned for the worse. A couple weeks after this incident, he bit me on the nose, breaking the skin, during a morning cuddle session in our bed. This led to us not allowing him on the furniture, muzzle-training him, and not cuddling/play-wrestling with him (advised by our trainer to do so).  Ever since then, things have progressively gotten worse. He has now bitten me and my husband multiple times, snapping quite often when we go to pet him and he doesn’t want it, or when we try to put his harness/muzzle on/off. He has attacked us both a couple times for just walking past him or moving suddenly and spooking him. He has attacked every single person that comes into our apartment, along with lunging aggressively towards strangers on walks, and even at my workplace. He is absolutely obsessed with other dogs still, but has lunged/barked aggressively towards some dogs in our neighborhood. For the most part, he is great with other dogs. We usually do not let him play with other dogs now unless he is muzzled, which doesn’t happen very often anymore as we are too scared to put the muzzle on/off him. We even left the harness on him at all times now so we don’t have to take it on/off. We are not comfortable bathing him, cutting his nails or brushing his teeth. We can’t even towel him off after a walk in the rain properly, as he will not let us touch his legs/paws, and even in order to towel off his back and face we have to turn it into a game so he does not snap at us.   In regards to his living environment, we think it’s a big stressor on him and may be contributing to some of his behavior. He is constantly barking at any noises in the hallway, and he often does not want to come back inside after his walks. He loves being outdoors and I truly believe that he needs a backyard so he can be happy. He is not happy. We have to keep him drugged all the time because he is so out of control when he is not. So he pretty much always looks sad and depressed, unless we are playing fetch with his favorite stuffed animal. Toys are his favorite, besides twigs and pinecones, and he does have a strong tendency to guard them but he has come a long way with that.   Some good things about Nico:  He is such a shadow dog. Follows us around everywhere and is happiest when my husband is sitting on the floor with him watching TV (as this is the most physical affection we give him). He LOVES toys and playing fetch with them. He learns so quickly – he has mastered sit, lay down and up! He knows what “uh’uh” and “no” mean, and even “out” when I want him out of the kitchen. He listens to “stay” and “wait” most of the time, unless there are too many distractions around. He walks pretty well on leash (when he isn’t lunging at strangers), and LOVES to run, hike and play in the water (just not the ocean yet – waves scare him). He is very affectionate and loving (which is very confusing to his high probability of “snapping” at any moment), amazing at being home alone (barks sometimes), and is incredibly cute. He goes crazy for socks, blankets and is very treat-motivated.   We have been working with a trainer one-on-one since we got him in April 2021, and we have been working with Dr Rebecca Ledger (animal behaviorist) to manage his behavior/outbursts for a few months now. Our last meeting with her (beginning of Sept) left us feeling very defeated, as we didn’t have any positive progress to report, only things getting progressively worse with his reactivity/aggression. She advised that because of his bite history, and the fact that he bites/snaps on his owners, he is a liability and it would be irresponsible of us to re-home him. She recommended we euthanize him, or live with him as he is, which would is very stressful for everyone involved.   We are out of options at this point, and we are so financially, mentally and physically exhausted by Nico – but yet we love him so much and have created such a strong bond with him. We really do not want to consider having to euthanize him as he has so much life to live yet. I truly believe that with the right people and training, and the right environment to thrive in, he could be a great dog and companion! We are both first-time dog owners, and can openly admit that we are out of our league. We are not experienced enough, and honestly do not have the capacity to put the work in with Nico. We need help, and urgently.  We believe that his ideal home would have a backyard, be in a more quiet setting, and have no cats or small children. I do actually believe that he would benefit from an older dog that is not interested in toys (so Nico doesn’t fight over the toys), so he can learn proper behaviors and also have a play companion. Please let us know if you have any means to help us, in any capacity. We would truly appreciate it.  Thanks so much.

Good day kind folks. My name is NIGEL and here is a little info about me: Breed: Siberian Husky Age: 4 yrs Gender: Male Weight: 48 lbs Height: 16 inches Highlight(s): adventurous, sociable, intelligent Hi. I'm a blue-eyed ball of sunshine and fun. I'm young, outgoing and I love adventures! Found wandering the streets of So. California in February of 2023, I was hungry and confused. Who knows how I ended up there, but likely I was abandoned. I'm quite the socialite, I love to mingle with my humans and other doggos. I've got a lot of energy and boundless love to give. I would describe myself as bold, energetic, confident and athletic to name a few traits. I will be an easily trainable boy, as I am intelligent, obedient, alert & clever. You will find I have another side too, that is cuddly & curious. I can be your big ol' teddy bear snuggling with you. While I do exhibit signs of resource guarding with my food, (likely stemming from my time spent on the streets) my trainer tells me this is something that can be corrected with time and patience. Best suited to a home with a young outgoing couple or a family with older kids. I prefer female dogs to male, but can mix with both. Lots of outdoor space where I can run around and burn some energy is much appreciated. Never been around kitties yet, so that is an unknown. So, if you are looking for a bright eyed boy to spend your life with on countless adventures, look no further. Energy Level: moderate to high I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown Kids: yes Fears: unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: some. 5 day intense training after shelter life. Still working on crating. Leash skills: yes, do well on leash. Please be prepared to continue training. House trained: yes. Please be prepared to help me learn where to go in my new home. Health notes: I have been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is $650.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be transported directly to Vancouver.

Hi everyone, my name is Noodles. I am a 5 year old, 6 kg pekingnese mix who despite my abusive past am a very loving and affectionate girl. You will not find a dog who will adore you more than I will. I was rescued from a breeder in Iran where I was kept in a filthy cage for most of my life. I was very badly treated and as a result I have a broken front paw that healed without treatment. This sometimes causes me discomfort but I can walk without difficulty. I also got an eye infection that was left untreated resulting in the loss of most of the vision in that eye.   While I may be a bit battered physically, I have recovered emotionally now that I am in a loving foster home in Middle East. I am great with other dogs and cats, but it is people I love the most. I just adore snuggling and I especially like sleeping on the bed with my person. So I want a home where that will be allowed. Who wouldn’t want to sleep with a snuggle monster like me.  I am house trained, spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is $750.

Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems. Basic training should be taken seriously, but 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.

This handsome and dapper dude is me, OLLIE, and I’m ready and waiting for my experienced and conscientious forever caregiver to support and love me as I continue to become my best doggy self! I am about 46 lbs and have a moderate energy level. I am super chill at home, 100 % perfectly housetrained, and 100% non-destructive with home furnishings, yoga stuff, plants etc. I am gentle, polite, and loyal with my guardian, and I have not exhibited any food guarding as a solo dog. I love my walks; after say, a good 50 minute walk (I like to move it, move it) and a bit of a snack (uhm fussy: no PB or dried fishy things, please and thanks), I can then hunker down for a multiple hours nap ... Zzzzzz. Yes, I am a good sleeper after getting out and about on my walk and “sniffari” around the ‘hood; I love investigating plants, and will sometimes try to climb right into the shrubbery. And at snack time, I am an expert at searching for my treats, and making them shower out of a stuffed item, such as a kong toy. Where I struggle: I do not like attention or fast movements from strangers including dogs, and I am working on remaining calm and confident among them. Due to a bite history when feeling threatened and unsure, I wear a muzzle in public spaces, and when strangers are in close proximity, such as guests in the home. I have been working with a trainer and dog walkers who are very skilled, and I have made amazing progress; I am ready to take the next step: a forever family! I walk very politely on leash and I accept the muzzle, without fuss. Are you someone who can meet me where I’m at and support such a spry, dashing young fellow to keep moving forward by managing my triggers and praising my self-regulation? My caregivers would like me to have a very gradual transition from my foster home to my forever home and ideally, to find someone willing to keep working with my dog walker and trainer routines for a few months, so everything goes smoothly and very successfully. A calmer area within the Lower Mainland would be the best, with a secure, small yard or patio for me to feel safe, sniff around, play, and relax. Would you like to join my small but growing inner circle? If so, please contact my caregiver for more info: daisykins@resist.ca His adoption fee will be waived to the right home. HISTORY: I had a challenging beginning in Bali. Rescuers found me on the streets. I was very ill from blood parasites but with good veterinary care, I fully recovered. I then spent several years sharing a courtyard with several other dogs. When the family who had taken care of me there were returning to their home country, I was selected for rescue to Canada. Since my arrival here, I have had a few challenges, most of which I have recently overcome. How terrific, eh?! I am neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.  My adoption fee is by donation.  Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website,  http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/  and to read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.  show less

Omid Breed: Golden Retriever mix  Age: two years Gender: male Height: 100 cm Weight: 28 kg Hi everybody! My name is Omid. My name means hope in my language. Needless to say I have so much hope that you will be my ticket to a happy life. I have heard so many good things about Canada. I have had a pretty rough start in life. The animal control picked me up and then left me in an area with no food or water. I had some internal bleeding and infections when I was found along with 16 other dogs.  Thankfully my rescuers took me to a shelter where I healed perfectly. I have been told that I am a very good boy. I am very calm and friendly to people and other dogs. I am still young and love to play but my favorite pastime is cuddling with people that give me attention. I am not scared of much but I will ignore strangers until I get to know them better and then they just cannot get rid of me :) Even though I’ve had a rough start I would love to give life a second chance and I hope that you will be a part of it.   Energy level: moderate Gets along with: Other dogs: yes Kids: yes Cats: has not been tested   Prey drive: none observed, my adopter needs to be willing to train me should these behaviors arise Fears: I am a bit wary of strangers until I get to know them.

Hi there!  I am Omok, a 1 year and 11 month old male Jindo mix that weighs 15 kg (34 lbs) and stands 22 inches high.  I was one of 13 dogs rescued from a slaughter house in South Korea.  Despite this horrendous experience, I still believe people can be friends. My handler says I am very friendly towards humans.  Sometimes I can be shy, but warm up really quickly and really really love treats.  If a stranger is holding treats, I jump for the treats and wag my tail constantly.  She says I eat treats very gently from hands and allow strangers to pet me. Other dogs are awesome, I actively approach new dogs to say hi.  Some dogs can get irritated by my activeness however.  When I hit it off with another dog, I do a play bow and want to play with them.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Erm4gfy14hQ&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JygSYYf0huM_mI57feqQbZa&index=2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGMTFUnFuvM&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JygSYYf0huM_mI57feqQbZa&index=3.  When I saw a cat, I tried to avoid  the cat, almost like I was afraid of it.  Even seeing a fast moving cat I didn't chase it, so could probably live with cats with the proper introduction.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRX-rQpXnAA&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JygSYYf0huM_mI57feqQbZa&index=6 My energy level  is high, so a lot of exercise is great.  If you need a running buddy or hiking buddy, that is me!  I am still practicing how to walk on a leash, in a new place or when I am scared sometimes I refuse to walk, but my handlers are continuing to work  with this.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QobviL0fXk&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JygSYYf0huM_mI57feqQbZa&index=4  I do love playing with toys!  So if you could buy some of those for me that would be awesome. There has been no aggression at all displayed other than some growls if dogs approach me while eating.  There is no resource guarding with people, but if I am eating and other dogs approach then I can growl.  My appetite is very high (Which speaks very well of my trainability!)  I try to eat my meal as fast as I can so I can go steal someone else's meal :)  I can mark in a  territory that is new to me, so that needs to be monitored.  There have been no signs of separation anxiety, rarely bark (sometimes at strangers) but do have severe carsickness.  (I vomit) So what do you say?   Want a friendly exercise buddy?  Apply for me today!

My name is Orca (Nabat) and here is a little info about me: Breed: Husky Age:  ~ 1 year 4 months old Gender: Female, Spayed Weight: 14 kg, 30 lbs Height: 21 in Hello, I was rescued from really bad living conditions.

Luckily the vet saved my life, I barley made it. I feel much better now, I am a happy mini husky with no tail! I am gentle and easy going and It's hard not to fall in love with me. I am good with all the dogs and people in the shelter. My dream is to move on from the horrible abuse that I endorsed and meet my new loving family.
