Story
This beautiful redhead has the cutest ears! Lucia is approximately 1 and a half years old weighing 28 lbs. She is gregarious and friendly. Lucia and Sofia were left abandoned together near the SPCA PV sanctuary. We’d love to adopt them together, but we can’t hold them back from finding a home that loves them if that’s not possible. While at the shelter we can’t confirm if she’s house trained, but it seems she once had a home, so we think its likely that she is. Lucia is medium energy and lovely with people. She is good with dogs at the shelter, though barks if there is a barrier, which is not uncommon in shelter environments. Lucia was tested with cats, and at first was avoidant and then gently curious. She even let the cats hold her leash. Lucia is healthy, spayed and vaccinated. She is currently at the SPCA PV sanctuary in Mexico, and will be able to fly to Vancouver, Calgary or Edmonton (possibly also Vancouver island). If you think you might be the lucky home for her, write us at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com and tell us a little about yourself, or go direct to our application: https://forms.office.com/r/b1Fkq3u4zw

Story
Meet White🧡 He spent his time at a dog slaughter house in South Korea, watching his friends being killed while fearing his turn comes soon. The slaughter house was shut down thanks to Adogs and he was rescued. * With People: Has a shy personality. With a bit of time, he accepts treats placed on the hand and follows people around! * With Dogs: Is a little indifferent towards other dogs. Is not the type to approach or to show interests in other dogs first. * Separation Anxiety: It is unknown since he is staying in a group at the Center. * Potty Training: Uses outdoor potty at the Center. * Walks: Likes going for walks. Pulls on the leash when he encounters other animals, so he’s undergoing training for this. Sometimes he gets surprised and barks when he sees large dogs. * Car Sickness: Has a mild car sickness, drooling a little and moving a while.

Story
I have arrived in Canada. Hi, I'm Nalan (Nala) and here is a bit of info about me:Breed: Basenji/Africanis mixAge: 5 monthsGender: MaleWeight: 23 lbsHeight: 17 inchesCountry of origin: GhanaHighlights: Social, Playful, Goofy, Protective, Curious, Active, Affectionate, Dependent, Stubborn I am quite social and playful. I have a bit of curiosity about the world and actively engage it.While walking with a co-worker during her volunteer time in Ghana, my rescuer noticed a puppy on the sidewalk, me. I was tiny with a phone charging cord tangled tightly on my neck. She untangled me and waited for me to try walking, but they quickly realized, I could not move my legs.Once they finished their tasks, they came back again and saw I was still there. They had hoped my momma would show up, but she never did. So I was helpless and alone. Being the loving heart she is, she took me home and contacted a vet. The vet suspected I had been hit by a car. Probably while following my mom in search of food. I was treated over the next few days and began to recover. Soon, I was playing with another puppy in the compound and even befriended the neighbor’s kittens. You'll find I am the sweetest, most affectionate little soul, always snuggling up and full of love, especially toward kids who visit.Now, after six months, my rescuer's assignment is over and she needs to return to Canada. She plans to bring me along.Pet culture is quite different in Ghana—us dogs rely on finding food and water on the streets, even if we have a place to sleep at night. I have become so accustomed to regular meals, care, and endless snuggles, I wouldn’t know how to survive on my own in the streets.My rescuer loves me deeply and would adopt me in a heartbeat, but her work doesn’t allow for this ability. Hence, the search for a safe and loving forever home where I can continue to thrive.Hoping you enjoy activities I can join in on, as I have puppy energy to burn. While a bit stubborn at times, I think this is my puppyness learning how to interact, as I love being near you too. I have a silly/goofy streak that comes out, which should make you laugh.As far as other dogs, I love them and I have grown up with 2 kitten buddies too, so would love one as a sibling as well. I also have been around lots of kids in the community and enjoy them very much. So a home with 4 and/or 2 footed siblings would be my utopia. I had been skeptical of men I don't know getting close, however once I get used to them, I am okay. Now my skepticism is fading bit by bit.I can only hope that someone will open their heart and home to a loving boy like me. I bond quickly, so you will have a friend for life.

Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home. Health notes:I am too young yet to be spayed/neutered, but I am vaccinated and will be microchipped soon. Spay/neuter will be the responsibility of the adopter and is required for my adoption to be finalized.My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver. 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. 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.[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.[TURKEY] Dogs from Turkey receive a 4D SNAP test to include Heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmania and Anaplasmosis. ##2192035##

Story
Meet Hyunmi💕 (It means brown rice in Korean) • Interaction with People: Hyunmi likes people but is still getting used to being handled. Through gentle interaction, he is slowly becoming more comfortable with human touch. • Interaction with Dogs: He approaches larger dogs to sniff and tries to engage with them. Hyunmi plays well with other dogs and understands rejection signals. • Separation Anxiety: Since he lives in a communal setting at the shelter, it’s unclear if he experiences separation anxiety. • Potty Training: He is currently being trained to avoid the outdoors while living at the shelter. 💟 Special Notes💟 • Hyunmi is somewhat timid and may get startled and squeal when startled by rough play.

Story
**He is currently in Seattle** Mukgoo is about 5 years old. He was found near an army base in Korea and immigrated to America around the age of 1 on President’s Day of 2020. He is an incredibly smart and lovable dog. He is kind and loves people (loves dogs and people). He will eat almost anything (except veggies). He can be a jumper when he gets very excited. He prefers households with another dog and a big yard to run around in but it’s not a non-negotiable. He has always adjusted well to whatever the circumstance. Overall, he’s a good dog and he’s got a lot of love to give. I’m having to give him up due to being unable to raise him in my current life stage. In no way, this is due to any bad behaviors or anything. He’s a really kind-hearted and sweet dog. Likes - He loves playing fetch (quickest way to his heart), rolling in the grass, puppycinos, ice cream, snow, people, dogs - Historically has liked lamb, fish skin, salmon, bully sticks, dental sticks, sweet potato, etc. In general, he loves to eat~ - Very social and prefers to greet other dogs and people, including dog parks, doggy day cares Dislikes - He dislikes bath but who does - He doesn’t like being alone but can manage a few hours if needed - No longer is a fan of veggies - Fireworks and big noises Things to Watch out for - Throwing up: If you let him freely eat grass, he’ll throw up. When he feels stressed, he can react by throwing up. - He can be independent when he is fixated on things. Just be patient with him and he will come back to focus on you. He is a people pleaser. - He rarely barks. He may bark when other dogs bark but even that is rare. He is more of a whiner. If he needs to let you know something, he will whine. - Not a counter surfer but can be if you let him Commands He knows his basic commands (sit, down, hand, etc.) and is open to learning new ones as well. Potty He is used to peeing and pooing outside. Once you create a regular spot and time for him, it’s clockwork. Otherwise, just be aware when he whines that it may be time to go. - At a high level, he knows “go potty” and “go poo” as a sign to go to the bathroom - He will rarely go pee or poo inside the home. Once in a million tries, a thing like that can happen during the night but he’s really sorry when he does. Leash He has never been fully off-leash, only in areas that condone it (home, backyard, dog park, etc.). He is not one to go off-leash and run away. He’ll run around and try to have you play with him. Keep him on a short leash if you need to focus on walking as he can veer away due to his interest in sniffing. Once on a short leash, he’ll understand and walk along. However, give him time to sniff as he is very curious with smells. Sleep He can sleep together or on his own if you’re in a different room or floor. He is also loves to cuddle up as well. When there’s fireworks, it’s recommended you sleep where he sees you because he’s afraid of the loud sounds. Food He is on one meal a day. If you give him two meals a day, he may not eat the first meal. Snacks though he loves. He knows how to sit and wait for food. He is currently on Costco’s salmon and sweet potato meal.
