A very good day to you. My name is PUNITA and here is a little info about me: Breed: Saluki/Terrier mix Age: 1-1/2 yrs Gender: female Weight: 19 kg Height: 50 cm Highlight(s): friendly, energetic, good with cats A friendly girl who is happy to meet new people, I am hoping you are looking for a social little sweetheart. I was born on the streets of Muscat in Oman. I lived in a dangerous and busy area. Apparently a car ran over my siblings, so a local rescuer stepped in to take care of me, my sister and my mum. My mum has now been adopted in Canada and is living in Montreal. My turn now. I have been living at the shelter since my rescue and don't get out much. This is sad for me, as I so enjoy when I get the opportunity to go for a walk. I sniff everything in sight. I get along with all the many dogs where I live and greet new ones with a sniff and a waggy tail. So, if you have another dog, I am perfectly happy with that. But if not, you and I can become the best of buddies. I am cat friendly as well. Though I haven't any experience with kids, I am such a happy-go-lucky girl, I would do fine with dog savvy, respectful kids https://youtu.be/5XdlhTMLmWI. Energy Level: high I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: yes Kids: yes Fears: unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: a little Leash skills: a bit. Please be prepared to continue training. 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. 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. 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. 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. show less

Hey big world. My name is RACCOON and here is a little info about me: Breed: Husky Age: 3 months Gender: male Weight: tbd Height: tbd Highlight(s): playful, energetic, social If you Peter Piper picked a pack of peppered puppies, how many puppies would Peter Piper have picked? Why, all of them of course. But there is just me, so that makes it easy for you. My rescuer found me on the road in the Middle East. It was in the dark of the night and I was in the middle of the road. I could have gone under the wheel of a car at any moment. Thankfully, my rescuer suddenly saw me and swerved the car to avoid running me over. That was just a couple weeks ago. I currently live with a small dog and 3 cats at the boarding house where I am staying. I love to hobnob with the cats. For a husky pup, I actually seem pretty gentle. No bonzai bounce in this kid, but I can be like any puppy, mischievious and playful... like a raccoon. I kind of look like a raccoon too, hence my name.  Being a social boy, I'd love a home with other fur brothers or sisters:  https://youtu.be/fHqO7oa2V_k, even the 2 legged kind of siblings is fine by me. Heck, let's get everyone in on the fun. I know a good thing when I find it though and like to hoard all the attention to myself. Hopefully, we can do hiking and other outdoor adventures. Especially snow activities, I'm a sled dog, right? Energetically, bounding through the snow, pulling Santa's sleigh, oh wait, that's the reindeer. Ha. I'd love a yard best, but if we manage enough action out and about, I should be ok without. I can't travel into Canada until I am 4 months old, but that is soon, so by the time you complete your app, I'll be close to old enough. Energy Level: moderate-high I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: yes Kids: unknown, but quite likely, as I am just a wee pup yet Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: none Leash skills: no. Please be prepared to train me. House trained: Yes or No. Please help me learn! OR where to go in my new home. 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. 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.

THIS IS A COURTESY POST, not a Loved at Last dog. Please contact the person or group below for more info. For more info or to adopt, please contact Ralf at  ralfaggarwal@gmail.com. Adoption fee $100. Rafa was rescued from a Korean meat factory at around 3 months, and fostered until he was 7 months old, before he was adopted. He’s currently in Penticton, BC. Rafa is a sweet boy, but is in urgent need of an experienced owner that can direct him and provide a better home. He is good with people and has never shown any signs of aggression towards humans, but has shown reactive aggression towards other dogs and must be kept on a lead until he is taught to play with other dogs in a non-reactive manner. He loves being petted! Rafa has a high energy level and needs to have a space to run for at least 30 mins 3 times a day, preferably with other dogs. He truly enjoys swimming in the summer to fetch a frisbee and running to play fetch in large fields. He would be great in a home with a mature dog that is still active and playful. In fact he would benefit from it and hasn’t been exposed to cats. He has prey drive and will run after a flock of birds or deer, but will recall with the signal of clapping hands. He’s not a flight risk in general but gets easily distracted. He’s ok with leash walking but needs more work. With a training collar, he has learned to sit when he is forced to stop. Rafa is housetrained, but he doesn’t enjoy the crate. He barks and whines when left alone in the crate. No resource guarding and no destructive behaviour towards furniture – food of any kind on the counters is fair game for him. Rafa is a beautiful, loving dog and wants to play, please and cuddle. He is a very smart dog, and with an experienced, confident dog owner, he will flourish. Rafa is a dog's dog. He needs another alpha doggy companion brother or sister – a dog that can show him the ropes – plus an experienced owner with time. He wants direction and he is looking for it! He comes with a crate, 2 harnesses, 2 leashes, a training collar, his toys to play with and fetch, feeding dishes and food, even a cute set of socks for the winter...and a great BIG heart! If he sounds like your kind of companion, please contact Ralf at ralfaggarwal@gmail.com to set up an interview.  show less

Yup, I made it to Canada. Yeeeah. Loved at Last is working to gather funds to help with my hip surgery. I'm told I am such a sweet boy. You just gotta meet me, look into my loving eyes and know I'm the one.. Greetings, my name is REDDI (Arad) and here's a bit about me: Breed: Australian Shepherd mix Gender: Male Age: 1 year Weight: 18 kg Height: tbd Highlights: eager to learn, energetic, cuddly, bit shy, curious Reddi for an awesome dog? Then check me out. I'm a snuggly, well behaved boy. When I was about 5 months old, my rescue mom found me on the corner of the street. She took me to the vet. I was so weak and injured. They tried hard to help save me. After a few weeks my rescue mom noticed something unusual when I was walking or jumping. She took me to the vet again, and after they got an x-ray of my hips, they noticed my hip had been broken in an accident. It fixed itself naturally, but not properly. My vet in Iran says I don't need surgery and I can live like this for the rest of my life. My mom didn't stop there. She asked one of her friends in Canada to share my x-rays with more vets and ask about their opinions. The vet in Canada said I can have a common surgery, and then I will play and jump like other dogs without any special care and pain. Isn't that wonderful? Now, I just need to get to Canada. I am currently living with my foster/rescue mom with 3 other big dogs, and I am getting along very well with them. As you can see in my photos, I love being close touching them. Also, tested with cats and while mildly curious, I pretty much just ignore them. I love car rides. I am not aggressive nor do I growl at all. I don't touch anything on the table, even though they smell good. I am not jumping on the bed or couch as my mom's partner doesn't like. So really, I am quite the good boy. I'm easily trainable, as I am eager to learn, clever and curious. I can be just a wee bit shy in the beginning. I do have a decent amount of energy, heck I'm young yet. So hoping we can find fun adventures. I am leash trained already, as well as housetrained. I am an entertaining pup, who will bring you laughter. I am also cuddly and will give you licky kisses. I'd like to say REDDI or not, here I come, but I don't have an adopter yet. So are you REDDI for me? Trimming vid: https://youtu.be/Rj5rNilKtxA.

Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: yes Leash skills: Yes. Please be prepared to continue training. House Trained: Yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home. Health notes: My hip was injured in an accident. It healed naturally, but not properly. A basic hip surgery (called an FHO) will correct things for the future (LALDR is currently fundraising to help.) My ears have been cut off. Not yet neutered as his surgery has not been confirmed, as they want to ensure it will be okay with my hip. Neutering is required before my adoption can be finalized. Unless neuter occurs prior to arrival, it will be the responsibility of the adopter. I have been 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 there. My name is REESE'S PUPPYCUPS. I got my name because he I am a beautiful dog who kind of, a little bit, resembles a peanut butter cup. And I am every bit as sweet as well. But you can call me Reese for short. Here is a brief synopsis about me: Breed: Anatolian shepherd mix Age: 4 years Gender: Female Weight: 66 lbs Height: 23-1/2 inches Energy level - moderate I'm good with dogs, though best if they are a chill or passive personality, as I like to be mother hen. It appears I am not really very good with cats however, so I need a feline free home.  My story began in the streets of a a major city in the Middle East when I was found by my rescuers, roaming the streets with only three legs. I was emaciated and dehydrated and struggling to stay alive. It is hard enough for four-legged dogs to survive in a city where we are considered vermin. But disabled dogs like me have to fight off both people and other dogs to survive.  Luckily for me, I was brought to Vancouver by Loved at Last and am now happily living in a foster home here. My foster dad says I have the gentlest, kindest personality. I adore meeting new people and will happily roll over on my back to encourage belly rubs  My foster dad says I am very smart and curious about my new world here in Canada. But I am also a bit frightened by it. It is understandable after all I have gone through to be still be unsure if I am now safe. So I remain vigilant about my surroundings when out in the world. I am still worried that I may be hurt. But every day I am gradually gaining confidence. Despite my nervousness, I don’t have an ounce of aggression towards people in me. They just don’t come much gentler than me.  At home I love playing games with my foster dad. We play puzzles and hide the treats. I softly pick my way around the blanket to find the treats hidden there. Because I am intelligent and very eager to please, I am easy to train. I am loyal and loving and will be ever so grateful to be your best friend. Here are a couple more vids of me: https://youtu.be/okF4gxjLFBA https://youtu.be/t6xLFbGdrMg. I may be a tripaw, but I can do everything my four legged friends can do. I am the perfect example that dogs are three legged creatures with a spare. I have been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped My adoption fee is $700.00 CAD plus applicable taxes.  Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.

I am a handsome boy who appreciates the company of cats, other dogs, and humans. Playfulness is at the core of my nature, I just can not wait for the day, that I can run around freely and just be a dog. I'm known for my ability to adapt and learn quickly. I'm always ready for an intellectual challenge. Most of all, I like to please, be cute and give kisses, specially if there are treats involved. Given my young age, I do require regular walks and daily activities. It is crazy, but come to think of it, I have never seen the outside world, I hear it is beautiful out there. My life's journey has brought me here, seeking the warmth and security of a loving home. If you are in search of a loyal and intelligent companion, I may be the perfect match. Together, we can create lasting memories and embark on a journey filled with love and shared adventures, oh how much fun that would be.

Hello, my name is Ricky, I am a 2 year old Jindo mix that weighs 51 pounds (23 kg) and stand 24 inches tall.  Initially I was adopted by a Korean family, but they didn't understand how energetic a puppy was and gave me up for adoption.  They did send me for some training and now the awesome folks at WDK have me and I am available for you! My handler says I always smile and grin, that I am a dog that spreads happy vibes where ever I go.  I do tend to be startled by big voices or big gestures that indicate the possibility of my previous family not being very nice to me.  With strangers, I can be a bit shy at times, but I do warm up quickly.  If a stranger takes my lead, I do follow them.  It is suggested I not go to a home with small kids, not because I am unfriendly, but because I am a bigger dog and strong and easily excited, I can overwelm smaller children. When first meeting other dogs, if the introduction goes well I mostly get along with other dogs.  However I tend to get very excited, so my handler requests that you calm me down first before introducing a new dog to me.  After we say hi, then I am usually good to go.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTUHPh6uVBQ&list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jx-DG3S8fIx5JAqAZDbxpvc&index=3.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3xBRjMXgv8&list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jx-DG3S8fIx5JAqAZDbxpvc&index=6  If another dog shows aggression to me though, it is probable that I would fight back.  Cats are a no for me please, I generally feel like it is very fun to chase cats and other small animals, as my prey drive is pretty high. My energy level is high, I need lots of exercise every day.  So if you are looking for a running or hiking buddy, pick me!  While walking, I am very excited and curious about everything, I am not afraid of urban noise at all.  I do pull on my leash, so further training from you would be welcome.  Also, as I chase small animals, I should only be let off leash in a fenced area.  Otherwise I might not come back.   My handler also says I have not shown any aggression to people, I have a high appetite (which speaks well of my trainability) but no resource guarding issues.  I do not have separation anxiety, can bark sometimes if I need something like to go outside, am calm in a crate and do not get carsick. So if you are looking for an activity buddy, apply for me today! Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems! Basic training should be taken seriously and should begin within a few days after arrival. After your dog has settled in, check out courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.  HEALTH NOTES: I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped.

"Goofy-but-handsome pup in search of loving home." That would be me, Ritter, and I am sure ready to meet you. Please check out my bio and hopefully, fall instantly in love. My Physical Info: breed: I look like a manchester terrier (or miniature doberman) mix age: 8 months gender: male weight: 17lb (7.8kg) - I am likely to be a medium sized dog when grown. height: 21 inches (53cm) My Rescue Story: When I was barely 4 weeks old someone put me and my 5 littermates in a cardboard box and left us at the city dump here in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. To them, we were just trash!  If it hadn't been for a good samaritan who heard our cries, found the box and took us to the local shelter, we would surely have all died.  Thankfully we have spent the last 7 months living in a foster home and now we have the opportunity to be adopted overseas. My sister, Clowy looks like my identical twin, while my 2 brothers, Blade and Damon have different colouring. They are all on this site too (just in case you were wondering). My Temperament My foster mom says I am an intelligent dog and also fairly docile. I definitely like being around humans, including the 7 year old that lives here. Being petted by people is heavenly! I like to play with my siblings and get along well with the other dogs that live here.  My Energy Level Average for my age. I have moments of puppy goofiness, times when I just want to play, and then plenty of snoozes too. I get along with: dogs: yes, I am friendly with all the other dogs that live here cats: I haven't had the opportunity to meet any, but as I am young there's a good chance I could be trained to live with a cat, given appropriate introductions kids: yes, I live with a child (no video yet, but hopefully one will come soon) Training: leash training: I am just getting started on leash training, but hope to get used to it over the next little while. I haven't yet seen much of the world and as you can see I am a little cautious: https://youtube.com/shorts/eQTh2LK9xgM?feature=share house training: I have free access to the yard at my foster home, so I choose to go outside when I need to do 'my business'. As long as you provide regular potty breaks and positive reinforcement I am likely to continue this behaviour. Health Notes: I am neutered and vaccinated. Adoption Fee:  My adoption fee is $800 + tax and includes my airfare to Vancouver. (My rescuer hopes to bring me herself in March if I have a home to come to.)   Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.

Hi there! My name is Rooby, (bonded to Kaysee) and here is some information about me! Breed: Spitz mix Age: 1 year Gender: Male  Weight 15 lb Height: 17 inches I was unfortunately abandoned in the Middle East with my sister (Kaysee) who I am bonded to, at a veterinary clinic. My rescuers do not have much information about our past, but what we do know if that we are ready to find our new loving home!! My rescuer says I am very smart and playful, same as my sister. I always want to play with other dogs. I am calm and kind. I crave affection and will cuddle up next to you. I can be a bit of a jokester, my rescuer says I’m quite amusing. Do I sound like I could be your new family member? I love kids too! We will do best with a family that has enough room in their hearts and home for both of us. Being a bonded pair we wish to stay together. Being a young pup, I have the energy to play and hope to end up with a family that embraces my playful nature. I will accompany you on walks during the day, and will cuddle up to you on the couch at the end of the day.  Energy Level: Medium  I get along with: Dogs: Yes Cats: unknown, likely yes per rescuer Kids: yes Check out the videos in my profile to see for yourself!! Prey drive: none observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours should they arise! Fears: Unknown/none observed. Please be patient in assisting me in my transition.  Training: I know my name and I will come when called! I am leash and house trained.  Health Notes: I am neitered, vaccinated and microchipped.  Our adoption fee is $1500 CAD + applicable taxes.This includes our transportation to Canada, if we am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.  Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue. 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.

Good day everyone! My name is ROZEE (Rose) and here is a little info about me: Breed: Saluki/Shepard mix Age: 10 mo (corrected from 1-1/2 yrs) 101223 YO Gender: female Weight: 20 kg Height: 55 cm Highlight(s): friendly, smart, social Coming your way, a sweet and friendly girl, who likes to make friends. Found in the Middle East at about 1 month old, my rescuer diacovered me in a trash can during the night. She had gone out to feed dogs and heard noises coming from the can. Someone had put me in a plastic bag and my ears had been cut off. Simply horrible. No doubt I would have died from cold or from the jackals or other animals getting me, of not for being rescued. I am a very smart pupper. I am housetrained and learn things quickly. I enjoy playing and make friends with other dogs by giving them a kiss on the nose. I am going to be a big dog... all the more to love and keep you warm on a cold night, right? Though I have no video, word is I am fine with cats too. Bouncey dog in my face:  https://youtu.be/GviCl1eY4-M. Another dog play mauling me:  https://youtu.be/73egoWztvgI. I just give in to this jealous pupper, even though she is just a little squirt: https://youtu.be/CaHLSSm3DLw. Though still somewhat shy when I see a stranger (especially men), I will bark and stay away. Once you sit down and talk slowly (calm voice) and give me food though, I gradually come forward and then become friends. I love playing with water and getting muddy. What can I say, I'm a puppy. I can be quite the digger too: https://youtu.be/UJp2NRnH7q0. Oops. Bit of training and exercise should help cure that. I play well with other dogs and lived with kitties for 2 months without issue. I have no aggressive behaviors for other dogs and enter relationships with them quickly. I love playing with my rescuer and her husband and I like runs. A home that enjoys getting out and about would be fun. If you have another dog for me as a sibling, great. If not, that's ok too, we can go find some friends. Hoping we can get some good cuddle times in too. Ready for you, if you are ready for me.  Energy Level: moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown, but rescuer states yes. No video. Kids: unknown Fears: unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: house trained, no leash work yet 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: My ears have been cut down.

Hello sweet people. My name is SADAF and here is a little info about me: Breed: Chihuahua/terrier mix Age: 5-1/2 yrs Gender: fe Weight: 12 lbs Height: just over 7 inches Highlight(s): quiet, affectionate, cuddler, smart I'm a very quiet dog, who never barks or talks. I know, can you believe it? Apparently I was living with a family, however when my owner died, the family dropped me at the shelter. They didn't care about me. I had been bred many times.This caused my body distortions over time and I was only being fed bones, so I wasn't eating much. I had no energy, since I was so starved. Adopted by a family, they brought me back because I wasn't eating and lost more weight. So, the shelter placed me into a foster home. There I started to thrive. I got different food gradually fed to me and I gained weight. They had a few vets check me out and do blood tests. No health issues to be found, except my teeth. Due to the neglect received in my life, they aren't in the greatest shape and I probably look a bit older than I actually am too. While I don't play with other dogs, I am good with them. If another dog bugs me, I just go into my crate. I like to find myself a quiet spot to hang out. I really haven't any interest in toys either. I'm pretty much the silent, observant type. I just sit quiet and watch everything going on around me. I must admit I am a bit fussy about food, cooked just isn't to my liking, I prefer raw. Hey, we all have our quirks, right? I am quite affectionate though and love cuddling. I'm also pretty smart. With all I have been through, I am looking for a nice, mellow retirement home to call my own. I think my look of sadness will become a smile of joy once I am in your arms. Can you make my dreams come true? I'd love to get to this wonderful country called Canada I have heard whispers about from my doggie friends. More vids of cute lil' me: https://youtu.be/7BWFzxaJwoo, https://youtu.be/FVvZsMZDe7s. When they first found me: https://youtu.be/4yZYHdlpw0E. Energy Level: low I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown Kids: unknown Fears: unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: pee pads only, as walking dogs in public is illegal in my country Leash skills: no. Please be prepared to train me. House trained: sort of, I am pee pad trained. Please help me learn! Health notes: hyper-pigmentation of skin areas, vet said all normal. I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

I'm heeeerrre. I'm a beautiful girl loving Canada. Waiting to meet you & be your best friend. Hellooo everyone.  My name is SAHRA and here is a little info about me: Breed: Shepherd mix Age: 6 years 9 months Gender: Female Weight: 36 kg - 80 pounds Height: 60 cm You might be asking how a beautiful dog like me ended up in a shelter. Well, things are not always easy for dogs living in the Middle East. Some city officials found me on the streets. They put me in a van and said they were going to kill me. You can imagine how scared I was. Luckily the van stopped, the door opened, and my wonderful rescuers appeared. They took me to the vet where I was found to be a healthy pup. Afterwards, I was taken to the shelter. It’s ok here, but I would rather be in a comfortable home. Being very sociable, I love both people and dogs (of all ages and sizes). When people approach me, I like to lie on my back to receive belly rubs. They really are the best!!   You can see from my video that I don’t grumble when other dogs want to play with me, and I’m happy to share my space with them. I just take everything in stride. My rescuers say I have a great appetite and show no resource guarding with my food. https://youtu.be/05dsZD3_Am4 If you have another dog, that is ok with me, but not required. I have no experience with cats or children, so not sure if we would get along.   My rescuers are so busy they have not been able to provide any special training, but I do know how to walk on a leash. More training would really help me to be the best dog ever. Perhaps we could do some hiking or exploring together. What do you say? Energy Level: moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: Yes tested (video to come) Kids: Yes tested (video to come) Prey drive: not observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition Training: some. My rescuers say I will be easy to train.  Leash skills: yes. I walk quite well on a leash. Please be prepared to continue training me. House trained: No. Please be prepared to help me learn! Health notes: I have been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is 700.00 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 there. My name is SAM and here is a little info about me: Breed: Spanish Podenco (hound)/Beldi (Saluki/Aidi heritage) mix Age: approx. 4 years Gender: Female Weight: 17 kg Height: 45 cm Highlights: happy, playful, dysfunctional front legs, affectionate, head tick, loves people I am a joyful & playful inch-worm, I mean pup, as you can see by my happy face. My rescuer found me crying in an abandoned garage in Marrakech, Morrocco during December of 2022. I was seriously ill with distemper, barely mobile and due to severe neurological symptoms, I was shaking and my head had an uncontrollably tic, making it difficult to eat and drink on my own. Extremely malnourished and dehydrated, because of my partial paralysis, I was dragging my frail body on the dirt and rocks to get around and as a result, my body was covered with contact burn wounds. My rescuer brought me home and had me treated for distemper and my injuries. Eventually, I regained mobility in my back legs again. I am hoping I might get some therapy to try to regain some more movement in my front legs yet. A front cart will help me zip around meanwhile. A chestpiece would help protect me as well when scooting about. As I gained energy, I became playful and joyful. I started rolling around in the grass and on soft surfaces, playing with toys and other animals. I learned to scoot around using her back legs to propel me, allowing me to chase my friends and the rescue staff. While I still have a tic, you'll find me to be quite affectionate and I love human contact, both physical and eye contact. I am eager to learn and want to please. A home with a garden, yard or any outdoor surface with playmats where I can scoot around without injury would suit me well. Because of my disability, I need a patient dog parent who will be around most of the time to assist me in toileting. If you place a blanket or bed down, I am happy to play on that, if an area is not suited to my scooting about. I am very affectionate and want to snuggle up to my person when they are home. I would love to have a gentle cat and/or dog sibling who respects that I play from the ground (most of the time) and like to chase. Here's more vids of me: https://youtu.be/gVdOW1foXBE, https://youtu.be/-U3qKLEJAhQ,  https://youtu.be/ZaeLWbtTqAU, https://youtu.be/hQWfvwgdHjI Energy Level: moderate. Very playful in environments suited. Patient in environments not appropriate for her movement. I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown, rescuer says yes, await video Kids: unknown, rescuer says yes, await video Fears: None observed. Please be patient with me during my transition. Training: Potty trained Leash skills: With my mobility issues, I am unable to walk on leash. However, this could change with a wheelchair or long term physical therapy. I would need to be carried or transported on a walk in a wagon or stroller for now though. House trained: Yes. I know when it is potty time and do my best to communicate when I need to go out. I do not go to the bathroom indoors, as long as I am taken outside to use the toilet regularly. I may require assistance toileting. Health notes: I had distemper, which is a severe neurological disease that can cause paralysis and neuro-difficulties. Even after recovery, we often struggle to regain mobility and have ticks (see my videos) throughout life. Distemper survivors such as myself, can live a long and happy life despite potential ticks and mobility challenges. I have been vaccinated and microchipped, but not yet spayed. Awaiting the okay from the vet. My adoption fee is $600.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. My flight to Canada will likely be to either Montreal or Toronto, so a cargo fee from there to Vancouver will be required, if so. But if a flight is found to Vancouver, that is included in my adoption fee.
