Story
Hi… I’m Blanc 🤍 For a long time, I stayed very quiet. So quiet that people sometimes didn’t even notice I was there. I spent almost a year in a shelter, just waiting… not really knowing what I was waiting for. But now, I’ve been given a chance. A real chance to start my life again—with a family. Since leaving the shelter, I’ve been discovering the world little by little. At first, everything felt new and unfamiliar… but something has been changing inside me. I’ve started to wag my tail more, to play, to show my little bits of affection. I think… I’m learning how to be happy. I like people. I really do. Even if I’m a little shy at first, my heart warms up quickly. And with other dogs, I get along just fine—I enjoy having friends around me. My fur is soft and fluffy, and I love gentle touches. If you sit beside me and reach out your hand, I’ll slowly come closer… and maybe, one day, I’ll lean into you without hesitation. There are still many things I don’t know yet. I might not understand house rules right away. I’m still learning about walks, about potty training, about how to live inside a home. Sometimes I might make mistakes… but I promise, I’m trying my best. Because I’ve never really had a family before, being alone might feel a little scary at first. New places and new people can make me nervous too. But I’ve heard that with time, patience, and love… those feelings can fade. What I need isn’t a perfect family. I just need someone who will wait for me, teach me gently, and grow with me. I may seem a little unsure in the beginning, but if you stay with me… if you give me time… I will open my heart. And when I do, I’ll show you a brighter, playful side of me— the kind of happiness that only a dog who has learned love can give. I’ve spent enough time waiting. Now, I just want a warm home… and someone to call my own. Will you be my forever family? 🤍

Story
Howdy folks. I am ARDIS (Ates) and below is some info about me:Breed: Golden Retriever mixAge: 3 yearsGender: FemaleWeight: 30 kgCountry of origin: TurkeyHighlights: Very playful, affectionate, people-oriented, energetic, emotional As an affectionate girl, I love, love, love humans.My rescuers pulled me from a shelter and now I am ready to find my forever home.Along with my enjoyment of the human kind, I also love to play. I even know how to give my paw in a shake. I can wave rather good too.While there is no video proof, my rescuers state I love kids too. In fact, before I was taken to the shelter, I lived at a schoolyard, where I used to help children cross the road safely. Yup, I'm a smart & wonderful girl. I don't know anything about those meowsies though. They are a mystery to me yet.I am house trained and comfortably stay indoors without worry. I am still learning the leash work portion of life. Hope you are willing to help me in mastering that part. Since I am still relatively young, I have an energetic side, do good exercise will be important.Of course, I also am tender. If you like a pup with a sensitive side, I'm your girl. I can pick up on things pretty well.Videos on the way. Energy Level: ModerateI get along with:Dogs: YesCats: UnknownKids: Unknown (rescuer states yes, but no video proof) Fears:None observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training:Leash skills: Some. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home! Health notes: No known medical issues.I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.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. You will NOT be asked to pay a passenger fee on top of the cargo fee. [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 Leishmania, Heartworm, Ehrlichia, & Anaplasma, as well as Giardia, Parvo, Corona & Distemper. ##2636243##

He was matted, and he was surviving by looking through trash. After being fed kibble a few times, he quickly opened his heart and accepted human touch. He appeared to have been abandoned and looking at him look for his family broke our hearts, leading to his rescue. 3⃣ Basic Information ❗As a young puppy, he may need training in areas such as separation anxiety, potty habits, biting, nipping, whining, disorderly, howling, and barking. ❗It is difficult to predict his shedding and adult size because his parents are unknown. ❗ Puppies under 10 months of age grow quickly so his current appearance may be different from those in the photos. * With People: Isn’t shy at all and really likes humans. Enjoys human touch, and has a playful and energetic personality. * With Dogs: Plays energetically with another puppy, #AdogsOkie at our Center. * With Cats: Hasn't properly met a cat yet. * Separation Anxiety: Unknown, as he lives in a communal setting at the Center. * Potty Training: Is pottying outdoors at the Center. Will need basic training in a home environment. * Hygiene: Recieved professsional grooming at the groomer’s and did very well, perhaps because he enjoys human touch. * Walks: Hasn’t had a proper walk yet, as he’s only recently arrived at the Center. * Car Sickness: Did well in the car with no motion sickness. * Biting: No nipping at all. There may be some chewing of objects or nibbling of hands and feet when playing, during the teething period. * Barking: Doesn’t bark at all. * Likes: We wonder if there’s anything he dislikes, since he seems to like everything!. * Personality: Has a happy-go-lucky personality and is very playful. He’s the epitome of a cute puppy!

Story
Name: Gaon Age: 1 year Sex: Neutered Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Golden Retriever Color: Brown Weight: 14 kg Height (shoulder): 55 cm   Rescue Story   Gaon spent his early life tied to a metal chain fixed to a stake in the ground, severely limiting his movement. As a young and active Golden Retriever, he grew up without the freedom to run or explore during an important socialization period.   When he was rescued in October last year, he was extremely overstimulated and excitable. In the rescue footage, he was even able to pull the deeply embedded stake out of the ground and run around the mountain area.   Due to his high arousal level and impulsive behavior, a veterinary consultation suggested impulse control issues. Since December, Gaon has been staying at a foster home where he has been receiving behavior training along with medication for about 3 months.   With consistent structure and training, Gaon has shown significant improvement and is now much calmer and more stable.   ‍‍ Socialization with People   Gaon is very affectionate and people-oriented. He enjoys attention and will approach both familiar people and strangers to lean against them and ask for pets.   Because he is still young and playful, he can be easily distracted and may move between people looking for attention.   He is comfortable with men and has also shown good tolerance with children under 13.   Anyone can gently lift him by placing arms under his belly, although he may wiggle slightly at first due to excitement.   Gaon can sometimes become nervous when someone is holding a stick-like object such as a broom or mop, and may crouch or appear fearful in those situations.   Socialization with Dogs   When he was first rescued, Gaon would rush toward other dogs out of excitement and lack of social experience. Because of this impulsive approach, conflicts could occur with less tolerant dogs.   After about three months of training and medication, his impulse control has improved significantly.   Currently, he generally ignores other dogs unless they repeatedly bother him or rush toward him while barking.   Gaon tends to be very people-focused and prefers staying near humans rather than playing with other dogs. Because he can show mild jealousy over attention, he may do best as the only dog in the household.   Cats   He has seen stray cats and did not show strong reactions. A proper cat test can be conducted if needed.   Energy Level   Although his energy level has been moderated through training and medication, Gaon is still a young dog who spent much of his early life unable to move freely.   He will benefit from a home that can provide regular exercise, structure, and continued training to help him release his energy in healthy ways.   Walking   Gaon tends to pull on the leash but also pays attention to his handler while walking. He loves greeting people during walks and often wants to approach them for attention.   Other Behaviors   • He does not guard food from people but may growl if another dog approaches while he is eating. • He may show some separation anxiety, so gradual training may be needed at the beginning. • He may bark to express his needs or when he wants attention. • He can get in and out of the car on his own.   Gaon currently uses both indoor pee pads and outdoor potty, but because he sometimes tears up pee pads when bored, outdoor potty training is being encouraged.   He usually eliminates within about one hour after eating, and since he can hold it overnight, he may sometimes have an accident in the morning if not taken out early.   Gaon is a bright, affectionate young dog who has already made great progress with training and care. With a patient home that can continue providing structure, exercise, and guidance, Gaon has the potential to grow into a wonderful and loyal companion.

Story
Meet Chichi! This gentle soul came from a situation with many dogs. Chichi prefers the comfort of calm, familiar people over the company of other dogs. Chichi would thrive as the only pet in her new home, where she can finally be the center of someone's world! Despite her difficult past, Chichi's gentle spirit shines through. She loves to cuddle and be close to her people. Because the world is still new to her, many everyday experiences are unfamiliar. Chichi feels most comfortable with women, but would warm up to new people with multiple meetings and adoption counselling with staff. Chichi is looking for an equally gentle and patient adopter who will provide Chichi with a safe and loving home, and a warm lap for her to snuggle on. If she sounds like the companion for you, please submit an application online or contact 250-493-0136 for further information. Primary Color: Red Brown Weight: 29 Age: 5yrs 2mths 3wks
