Beagle puppies and dogs in Chilliwack, British Columbia

URGENT! Due to a new law enacted in my country, the rescuers can't retain the refuge, so all of us dogs need homes before the end of the year. Please help. Good day folks. I'm BOATSMAN and here is a bit of info about me:Breed: Beagle/Whippet mixAge: 10 yrsGender: MaleWeight: 25 kg (55 lbs)Height: 56 cm (22 in)Country of Origin:Highlights: Bright, optimistic, affectionate, loyal, sometimes grumpy (aren't we all??), relaxed energy Would you like a chill senior dog? Take a look here, because I just want to finally relax with you and be your companion for life.  They named me Boatsman for my rolling gait like a seaman on a ship. I love my name.I was found by rescuers who were giving medical care to homeless dogs abandoned in a local garbage dump (yes, you read that right... abandonded in a garbage dump).  They came to my side as they saw me staggering through the mud and piles of trash. My hind legs had limited movement from an old injury, my face had scars from a hard life, and my skin was covered with mange. Despite quite likely not being the cutest dog given my circumstances, my eyes shone brightly with positive determination. The physical challenge of my hind legs and the surrounding garbage did not discourage me at all.My rescuers brought me to their centre and gave me medical treatment. After several weeks, I joined the dog pack, where (in general) I got along well with the other dogs. It was presumed that I had likely been used as a bait dog before being discarded in the garbage dump.... so I can be reactive to younger male dogs or highly energetic dogs.  If my forever home has a dog(s), it'd be best if they were mellow and/or female.  I interact fine with a lot of dogs, while others I just grumble for them to get out of the way. Ha.While I am an affectionate guy, I can be a tad grumpy at times. Hey, I'm a senior, comes with the territory. LOL. I don't care for harnesses, so better not using those.  I am more open to women interaction at first, and can be distrustful of men (likely due to past abuse by men.  When treated with kindness and gentleness, I increasingly respond favourably to men. I just don't like them trying to compel me to do something I'm not comfirtable with.I do my best, but I have intermittent difficulty controlling my bowels and bladder, which sometimes can happen in the house. Usually this only occurs first thing in the morning, as I have to negotiate stairs to get out and it is slow for me (I know the vets there have some meds that can often help or possibly acupunture would assist.) A belly band/diaper would likely be helpful until I get out in the morning. I can go in and out at will during the day currently. In spite of my physical challenges, I act as though I have no disabilities. Being a loyal companion, I would be a wonderful addition to a household. I just need a gentle caring home where I can live out the remainder of my life in peace.My loves in life: hanging out with my trusted humans, gentle caresses on the side of my face and under my chin, being with other dogs. Though I can't run & play with them, I like to be the cheerleader on the sidelines.I would love to find a chill home where I can laze about and learn trust. Then live my days gazing into your eyes, loving you and getting scritches under my chin. I think once I get to my new home, maybe some arthritis supplements would help me out too.

HEALTH NOTES:I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.My adoption fee is $550.00 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.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. 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.
