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.

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. ADOPTION FEE: My adoption fee is $750.00 CAD + applicable taxes, which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found 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.

"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.

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. Other 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. 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.

Hellooo everyone.  My name is SAHRA and here is a little info about me: Breed: Shepherd mix Age: 6 years old Gender: Female Weight: 46.5 kg 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: unknown  Kids: unknown  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.

Ahoy there. My name is SALTY and here is a little info about me: Breed: Golden Retriever/Lab/Shepard mix Age: 4 yrs Gender: female Weight: 30 kg Height: tbd Highlight(s): likes to play ball, people friendly, bonded with Sweet Nothing better than having both sweet and salty at the same time, is there? My sis and I are both looking for homes. When I was puppy, my rescuer found me with my sisters. Our mother had an accident and died. One of my sisters came to Canada many years ago when she was a puppy, but me and Sweet (also posted) were taken care of by a good hearted acquaintance of our rescuer. Sadly, after almost a year, that person died of cancer and we were put in a boarding house, because we could not integrate with all the many dogs in our rescuer's home already. About 3.5 years now we've been together in boarding. The owner of the boarding house asked that we be moved to another place or pay a lot more. Our poor rescuer simply can't afford more. So we need a home asap, so we are not thrust into a crowded shelter with little food or out on the dangerous streets. Me & my sis are good with people, including children and we  love to play ball. I am fairly friendly with other dogs, though my sister, Sweet can tend to be a tad alpha with smaller or other female dogs (except with me), but she loves large male dogs. We're both very friendly and make friends fast. https://youtube.com/shorts/-dZEGlbvbco,  https://youtube.com/shorts/NRgkukM6aBk It is time for us to find a home of our own now. I'd like to stay together with my sister, but know that may not be possible. So, we could go to separate homes. I'd love a yard, but as long as I get outings, it's good. Really hoping since we've been together so long, we can stay together. Energy Level: moderate I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown Kids: unknown Fears: none observed.

UPDATE: I am happy to say that I am now in Greater Vancouver and enjoying Canada a great deal! Once I know and trust you, I am loving and affectionate. I love belly rubs and going for walks. I greet other dogs quite nicely. I am still learning that the things I value will not be taken away from me but I am progressing. As a result, I need to be the only dog in the household as I still find it hard to believe that another dog won't take my food. I am wary of strangers but a confident human will be able to help me with this. I have an independent personality but I am also very protective of those I love. If you would like to meet me, I would love to meet you as I know you will be patient and allow me a short time to get to know you.  Hello. My name is Sangria (Sophie) and here is a little info about me: Breed: Anatolian Shepherd X  Age: 5 years Gender: female Weight: 32 kg Height: 65 cm Hi everyone, my name is Sangria but my foster mom is calling me Sophie.  I was rescued when I was found badly injured at the side of the road in a middle-eastern city. Someone had run over my leg and I was limping very badly. I was taken to the vet and unfortunately my leg could not be saved. However, that does not hinder me from living a normal life. After my rescue and  before I came to Canada, I lived in a shelter for three years. While there I spent much of my time getting the other shelter dogs to play with me. I was able to coax even the grumpiest dogs into a game of chase.  I am very loyal and intelligent and learn new commands very quickly. My favourite reward is praise and a cuddle as pleasing my person is the most important thing to me. You will know how it feels to be adored and revered with me in your life. I am a bit afraid when meeting new men but warm up quickly if they simply ignore me in the beginning until I learn they aren't going to hurt me.  Energy level: Moderate I get along with: Dogs: no Cats: no Kids: no Prey drive: None observed Fears: None observed. I will need to get used to my new environment Health notes: I am a tripaw and am missing my foreleg. However it does not affect my mobility and am able to run around with no problem. I have been spayed, 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 accompanied by a fight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

Hello! My name is SAPPHIRE (Sophia) and here is some info about me: Breed: Lab mix Age: 7-1/2 yrs Gender: fe Weight: 26 Kg Height: 59 cm The story of my life is like many other female dogs in my native land in the Middle East. I don’t know how I got separated from my mother and my pack, but when that happened I was still a puppy wandering around searching for food. I was trying so hard to avoid people. Anytime I came across people they would throw rocks at me and if I was close enough, I would get a kick. One day I came across a nice lady. Instead of throwing rocks at me, she went in her yard and came back with food. I was not sure if I could trust her or not, but I stayed near her home. Every day she fed me, but I never went too close to her. One day when she was feeding me, she noticed that I was pregnant. Soon after that, I gave birth to five pups, but lost one of them. My puppies were lucky enough to find homes in Canada and Seattle. After I gave birth, the beatings from people got worse, because they thought I was going to have more babies, which meant more dogs in the neighborhood. Meanwhile, the lady was trying to catch me. Later, I found out she only wanted to take me to a vet to spay me, so I would be free from birth pain, seeking safe shelter and finding food for my babes. She was not able to catch me for some time and I gave birth 3 more seasons. Phew. Because of my history, I am very timid and shy of people, though improving a lot. I do walk nicely on leash. I am ok with other dogs, but not the most comfortable with interactions with them. Likely best as an only dog. I have not been around children and cats, nor have I ever seen squirrel, so uncertain how I would react around them. Though I spent most of my life hungry, I don’t guard my food. Here I am getting a treat & hand fed. https://youtu.be/UF4frjLnzmI, https://youtu.be/uW3fR17WZEc. I am house trained any currently I am working on basic commands.

Energy Level: low to moderate Get along with: Dogs, yes, to a degree Cats, unknown Kids, unknown Prey drive: unknown, not observed with cats, squirrels, rabbits, etc... My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: timid with people, needs time to trust Training: Working on basic commands. Leash skills, some: https://youtu.be/GR1f6m7r3F8. Will need continued patient training. House trained, yes. Please be prepared to help me learn where to go in my new home!

Hi all. My name is Seven (Sevgi) and here is a little info about me: Breed: German Shepherd Age: 4 yrs Gender: Female Weight: 30 kg Height: 70 cm Although I tend to be a timid dog, I am a pretty relaxed companion. Here I am meeting some new people: https://youtube.com/shorts/M0TtDCLsjtc?feature=share. I was rescued from the streets of Turkey. My country doesn't think too highly of dogs, so I was likely tossed away after I got grew up and was no longer a small cute puppy. Now I am a beautiful, sweet young lady. No issues here with food guarding or anything like that. I'm pretty chill actually. Probably a semi-subdued home would do, though I imagine once I find out the fun there is in Canada, I will gain more interest in adventure and become more active. In the shelter I am calm, quiet and subdued. The shelter is very overcrowded and chaotic though, so many of us dogs tend to shut down. It is rather difficult due to these circumstances to get an accurate picture of each one of our personalities. When they took me out for a walk I got energized and excited. Here I am learning to walk on leash: https://youtube.com/shorts/9wNWZ5yv4ZA?feature=share, https://youtube.com/shorts/rd8y8rihla4?feature=share. I saw a cat on my walk and did not act aggressive, but I was interested for sure. So maybe I could be inroduced and learn to live with one. I get along with other dogs. All the other dogs that have gotten homes from where I am, have turned out to be great dogs according to their adopters. I am just hoping for the same opportunity. Energy Level: Moderate I get along with: Dogs: Yes Cats: Unknown, though maybe Kids: Yes Fears: None observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: Leash skills: Yes. Please be prepared to continue training. House trained: No. Please be prepared to help me learn! Health notes: Old fracture on one of the ears. I have been spayed/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 accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

Hi, my name us Shanti. Breed: Lab/Canaan dog mix Age: 2 yrs Gender: female Weight: 25 kg I was found when I was a little puppy with three of my siblings by a busy highway. My rescuer suspects city contractors killed my mother! I have had a pretty sad start in life but I’m hoping to turn that around soon! I have been living at the shelter since I’ve been found so I have not experienced living in a home with a loving family but I’m sure I will fit right in when I get to Canada! Energy Level: Moderate I get along with: Dogs: Yes for sure  Cats: I like them but never lived with them so not sure how I react  Kids: I love all sizes of humans but never lived with kids before I am a bit scared of strangers but once I know them and trust them I get a long with them. I am happy girl who loves to cuddle right close to my humans. I do not have any type of training but I am a fast learner and once I settle in my new home I will be on speed to learn everything!

Hi, my name is Nono. I am a 4 year old female labrador/Border Collie cross (best guess from my appearance). I have been in Canada (Greater Vancouver) for 3 years but, due to life circumstances of my adopter, he is unable to keep me. I am a loving dog who really enjoys being with my humans. I can be a bit vocal when I meet dogs on walks but I know I can learn some different greeting skills! After all, I'm part border collie and they can learn marvelous things! Please, please, come and meet me. You'll see what a great dog I am. I have recently been having a few knee problems which may need some help from a vet but you can find out more about this from my rehoming adopter. Whatever is the issue, it's not slowing me down much.  I  once had a family in the Middle East who actually rescued me from the street when I was just a month old. But they had to give me to the shelter for protection because someone called the police and they wanted to take me away. You see dogs are illegal to own here and quite often dogs are ripped away from our families and killed. I was lucky to be loved enough to be put in a shelter and not just thrown on the street. Even though I am safe from the police, life in a shelter can be very rough for some dogs. I am one of those dogs. I am a very sweet and loving dog and some of the other dogs see me a weak and are starting to attack me. I am so very scared so I would really love to get into another home quickly. I am not used to shelter life and I am getting very depressed. I really am a great dog. I am very smart and kind. I try hard to be friends with the other dogs here and I really do want to be friends and thankfully some of them are nice with me. I am loving with my human caretakers and I would love to be in a home, any home really. I would love to go on long walks and have playtime in the dog park too. I do have an advantage over some of the other dogs here in Iran because I actually did live in a home so I have an idea of how that is. I should make an easy transition into my new life. So as you see I urgently need to get our of the shelter before I get hurt by the other dogs. I am looking so forward to my new life in Canada all curled up and cozy in your home.   I am spayed, vaccinated and micro-chipped    My adoption fee is $500.00    please see our adoption guidelines at www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca   nono/fariba   show less

Hi there, kind hoomans. My name is Sougy and here is a little info about me: Breed:     Anatolian Shephard mix Age:        7 years Gender:  Female Weight:   28 kg Height:    65 cm  (ground to shoulder)         Although I had a rough start in life, I have finally made it over to Vancouver and am loving it here! My favourite thing? Rolling in the grass! I may walk slow, but I love to sniff and explore luxuriously at my own pace. I love the great outdoors! Consider me the perfect picnic companion ;-)  Here's a little bit of my history: I was found in a village 2 years ago.  As you can see from my video, my front legs were crooked, and it was so painful to walk.  I could only walk a few steps and then I had to lie down. Luckily for me, I was rescued and brought to a shelter.  My rescuers took me to a vet, and I had two surgeries to try and straighten my legs. As you can see, my front legs are sooo much better, but I still can’t walk like other dogs. I don’t mind, as I’m just so happy someone chose to take care of me. I am cuddly and affectionate. I love people and attention. I'm very easy going with other dogs and was great at being a 'nanny' for my younger foster sibling. I am used to living with other dogs, but I’m fine being your one and only. There are no cats here, so I don’t know how we would get along together. I love kids and I'm very kind and gentle towards them. My foster parents have have been amazed at how fast I have adapted to life in Canada such a short  amount of time. Also, my walking has already improved much since my first day over here. Update: I had my final leg operation in December last year and have recovered well. At least the pins and plates that were causing me some discomfort were removed and now I am good to go! My perfect home would have nice fenced-in backyard where I would just love to hang out and explore the whole day. I also love cuddles and belly rubs - I'm a real snuggle snoopy! https://youtube.com/watch?v=lL14kUp-GDw https://youtu.be/y2271bPDBsE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2271bPDBsE Energy Level: Med to low I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown  Kids: yes Prey drive: unknown/not observed.

UPDATE: I had found an adopter on the mainland, but due to me not getting along with their cats, I unfortunately need to be rehomed to a home without cats. My rehoming adopter has said that I am a very sweet and gentle dog. I got along very well with the other dog in the family. I also warmed up very quickly to the humans. I have been more afraid of men in the past but my current foster dad is the love of my life at this time so I think I can change, eh?! I have also gone through some times of nervousness but with a loving, calm foster in my life, I am really maturing nicely. I arrived in Canada about 3 months ago so I have begun to acclimatize but my magnificent adult self is still developing. Are you that calm, playful, loving adopter I am really looking forward to meeting? If so, I am so excited to greet you with my playful smile! Hi there! My name is Sugar and here is some history info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Whippet/Retriever mix just turned 1 year old Female May grow to be about 18-20 kg when fully grown Highlights: Food motivated, loves other dogs, shy around strangers RESCUE STORY:  My rescuer found me on the streets with the rest of the litter that I was a part of. Only half of us survived, and lucky for me I was one of them! I'm a very friendly dog, but I can be a bit shy around new people. Once I get to know you, I love attention! I'm easily trainable as I am food motivated and love treats. I love being around both humans and dogs, and I love to play and cuddle with my humans. TEMPERAMENT: ENERGY LEVEL: Medium GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – NO Dogs – YES Cats – NO PREY DRIVE: CATS - will chase cats I’m not too sure how I’ll react around squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.

Hi there!  My name is Suho, I am a 4 year old male Jindo mix that weighs 46 lbs (21 kg) and stands 19 inches high.  I was taken into the city pound on Dec 24 202 and rescued by the awesome people at WDK in August 2021.  At that time I was heartworm positive and received treatment and was cleared June 2022.  Now I am better, and looking for my forever home!  You can also see the skin on my nose has peeled off and never grew back, so maybe we can stay out of too much sunshine just in case of sunburn. My handler says I welcome strangers, I easily approach them and let them pet me, smiling and wagging my tail. I even enjoy being groomed.  While I love attention from people, other dogs not so much, she thinks it is because I can get jealous and want all the people attention for myself, so I need to be the only dog in the household. I have never met a cat, so it is unknown how I would respond to them. I have a moderate energy level and love all activities with people, going for a walk makes me very happy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kRnwjFj59Q&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JzeU_0iXjHSwVH80Ln6ibg9&index=5 I also sit for a treat which apparently is adorable :)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzKJ79NwrOk&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JzeU_0iXjHSwVH80Ln6ibg9&index=4 It is important to note that I have shown some aggression to other dogs (presumably from jealousy) but never towards people.  Any interaction with other dogs needs to be monitored. My appetite is moderate, with no resource guarding issues, no signs of separation anxiety, no car sickness and I rarely bark. So what do you say?  Will you be my one and only?  Apply for me today!
