Hello there! My name is Edvard, but feel free to call me Ed if you like; as you’ll see I’m a really flexible, easy going guy and I love having new friends! My origins are not very well known, but that’s ok. We do know that when I was six months old, a kind lady found me abandoned in a yard with a heavy chain around my neck. She thinks I was intentionally left behind when my previous owner moved. And while that is a really unhappy start to my life, I choose to focus on the fact that I was found by such a kind, wonderful human. She brought me home to recover and to learn what it is to be safe, cared for, and loved, and for that I feel like the luckiest boy alive!
I don’t like to brag, but I may be the perfect friend? I live with several other dogs now, and I am everyone’s best friend! I love to play and romp, but I’m also really quick to pick up when the mood is more relaxed and have no problem settling in for quiet time. Heck, I even get along with cats and tiny humans! Really, I’m just happy to go along with everything as long as I’m surrounded by the ones I love.
I’m a perfect gentleman on the leash, and I’m already potty trained. And if you want to surprise me with a super ultra wonderful treat, I LOVE car rides! They’re so exciting, even if it’s just for running errands!
I will say though, I do not like to be left by myself. It reminds me too much of my scary start to life. But if you’re looking for a sweet, kind, easy going friend who will look at you with adoration all day long, I’d love to meet you!!!!

The adoption fee for is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes transportation to Canada, if accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.
Most passengers from the Middle East now require a fee to accompany a dog on a flight. Due to this, if a rescuer finds a flight with this requirement, we will contact you to see if you are willing to pay the passenger. You are under no obligation to do this. If not, another flight will need to be searched for, though there is no guarantee a free or lower cost one will be found. Though oft times a passenger is requesting higher amounts, the fee will not exceed $250. Our rescuers work extremely hard finding flights and spend tremendous amounts of money caring for and sending these dogs to safety. They simply haven't the extra money to cover this. Thank you for your understanding.
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.
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.
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.
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.
[MID-EAST] *Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza. Bordetella is not given, as that has not been a problem in the Middle East.
