My name is MARLEY and I am available to adopt!! Listen to my wonderful features....I'm a BC fellow, born on Vancouver Island. I am a year and a half old and I love life! I am 50 lbs in weight. I love fetching balls (yes, I do bring them back to close to the person who threw them), playing with other dogs, going to the beach to swim, and generally living a healthy westcoast outdoor life. How's that for a start?!
My further details include that I am a cuddly guy when I'm indoors enjoying attention from my humans. You've probably noticed that I am a mixed breed dog, both of these heritages being of working dog type. In short, I've never learned about agility courses or herding farm animals but there is a very good chance that I will take to these activities like a....farm guy to farm-type tasks. This is just a guess of course as I've never been introduced to these activities but then again, I'm a smart, trainable guy so it's likely I'll be fine with both. I have been living with my foster family for a short time and they tell me often that I'm smart, playful, and very social with everyone, four-footed and two-footed. I had learned several skills with my previous adopter and I am expanding on those. My previous adopter really loved me lots but life circumstances were such that he had to rehome me. In my future home, if there were to be another young dog to play with, that would be marvelous! I just LOVE to play but, even so, I am also responsive to humans telling me to calm and stay chill. I am a great dog at the dog park, playing with many other dogs. We all have a good time together. I have a few basic skills such as understanding commands such as sit, stay, and come.
I have a moderate-high activity level which means that I really appreciate a visit daily to the dog park but, after a bit of a romp with other dogs, or playing tug or chasing a ball at home, I'm ready to chill and have a nap. This reminds me...I would greatly appreciate living in a house with a fenced yard. I just love to dash out the door in the morning in order to check out my yard and then to race back inside to wait for my breakfast. Did I mention...I just love life and any human around me can't help but share in my joy of living!
I am microchipped, neutered, and immunized.
My adoption fee is $750.00 CAD plus applicable taxes.

Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters/rehoming adopters. 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.
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.
