My name is Yams and here is a little info about me:
Breed: Pit bull/Mastiff Mix (maybe some boxer too!)
Age: 1 year old
Gender: Female, spayed
Weight: 60 lbs
Height: 27 in
I was found as a stray dog and was transfered to a shelter in California when I was only a few months old. Nobody adopted me so they put me in euthanasia list because they were running out of space there. Thankfully a kind lady agreed to foster and took me in temporary to save my life. She couldn't believe nobody came forward to adopt me. I am a cute, friendly and very happy girl! I get along with everyone, love to kiss and cuddle humans. LOVE all the dogs I met so far big or small, even cats! I don't have a mean bone in my body, I am a very submissive lady. I was so skinny when I was found that the shelter staff couldn't guess my breed, I was just skin and bones. Don't worry, that's all in the past! I grew up, gained some weight and I look amazing now! My pretty coat is now shining. I still act like a puppy, I will benefit from some training. I have some puppy energy to burn, if you need a hiking buddy that can keep up with you I'm your gal.
I am house-trained but might need some help in my new home. I loves people and other dogs and get along great with them and currently am living with many other dogs in a foster home and 2 cats. I have so much love to give, please adopt me! I'm in California but if I have an adopter I can come to Vancouver very soon!
Energy Level: high/moderate
I get along with:
Dogs: yes
Cats: yes
Kids: yes, no video proof
Prey drive: unknown/not observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.
Fears: unknown/none observed.
Training: basic
Leash skills: Please be prepared to train me.
House trained: Yes but please be prepared to help me in a new home.
I have been vaccinated, spayed and microchipped.
My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes.

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.

Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live. The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs. Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if the dog is shown to be good with children we will approve homes with children 8 years or older.
