Good day everyone. I'm JAVA (Jack.) Please find info about me below:
Breed: Golden Retriever mix
Age: 2 years
Gender: male
Weight: 29 kg (64 pounds)
Height: 50 cm
Highlights: friendly, loving, laidback, quiet
I rather look like the color of a creamy cup of coffee, don't you think? I'm just a sweet & creamy furball, hence my name.
When I was a young pup, I got some sort of skin disease and my previous “owner” just left me at a absolutely terrible shelter here in China. At the time, my rescuer volunteered there. She now has her own shelter. When she met me, she took me to her vet and had me treated. I have been staying at her shelter for the past year and half.
Now it is time for me to find a home of my own. I am perked up and ready.
My rescuer was offered a flight to Canada for me, so I am currently in Vancouver. No more of the same old grind at the shelter for me, no siree.
You'll find I can jump start your day as well as any cup of caffeine. My kisses are a high grade octane boost. I am just the right blend of energy and chilled out pup. Hoping we can spend some time brewing up good fun.
I truly love life in Vancouver. My foster mom lives in a condo and we get to go out for several walks every day. I just percolate with happiness at my good fortune. I'm a loving guy, as well.
I was shy at the beginning, but have since relaxed a lot. I can be a bit shy with new people and in a new environment yet though. Once I get used to things though, I get into a laid back state of ease. I really am a friendly boy. Pretty quiet too.
Try a shot of me, you'll love it. Wink.

Energy Level: moderate
I get along with:
Dogs: yes. Await video.

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.
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.
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.
