Golden Retriever puppies and dogs in British Columbia

Meet Raphael!Raphael is a very sweet, gentle puppy. He is going to be a big boy when he grows up, so he is looking for a home with lots of space to roam and play. He has already started working on his manners and house training and is doing a great job, but like all puppies, he will need a guardian that is patient with continuing puppy training. Puppyhood is precious and also a lot of work, so Raphael is looking for someone ready for the commitment. Raphael's breed is a mixture of active, working dogs, so he will need a lifetime of exercise and stimulation in his future. Raphael is doing very well with his socialization and would be great in a home with other friendly dogs or children. He has been previously in a foster home with young children and gets along with them well. Due to the high volume of applications we receive for puppies, we will be prioritizing in-person applicants. For a chance to meet and adopt Raphael, please come to the West Vancouver BCSPCA Tues-Sun from 12pm-3pm daily for viewing.

Hi there. My name is LEESI (Lili) and here is a bit of info about me:Breed: Golden Retriever/Labrador mixAge: 4 monthsGender: femaleWeight: 10 kgCountry of origin: Middle EastHighlight(s): Eager to learn, easily trainable, loyal, calm, cuddly, confident, funny, relaxed My life has been a journey of ups and downs, but it's a story of hope and resilience. Through it all, I remain a calm and faithful pup.When a mere two months old,I was purchased from a couple who were struggling with addiction. It was a chaotic and unstable environment, far from the loving and nurturing home a puppy like me deserves.For a month, I found some stability with a new family who took me in. However, their ability to care for me was short-lived. At the tender age of three months, I was abandoned in a garden, left all alone and scared. Imagine being so young and vulnerable, with no one to turn to. It was a frightening experience, but I held on to the hope that someone would find me and give me the love I needed. And then, a miracle happened. A kind-hearted team from a rescue organization found me in that garden. They saw the fear in my eyes, but they also saw the potential for a happy and loving life. They took me in, provided me with the care and attention I desperately needed, and gave me a second chance.At first, I was nervous and clingy, unsure of what the future held. But with time, patience, and lots of love, I began to blossom. I learned to trust again, to play, and to enjoy the simple joys of life.Now, I am on the path to finding my forever home, where I will be cherished, cared for, and loved unconditionally.I am an easily trainable pup, as I am eager to learn. I am mellow and relaxed, but also confident. You'll find I can act like a funny puppy at times. Other times, I just want to snuggle. I am firever loyal though. I'll remain by your side through all of life. I will likely get around 50-65 lbs full grown.My story is a testament to the power of rescue and the kindness of strangers who can change the life of a helpless animal like me. I am grateful for this second chance and look forward to the wonderful adventures and memories I will make with my new family. Thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way; your love and care have given me a new lease on life.

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.

Meet Violet! This affectionate little girl is looking for an experienced and patient forever home to help her overcome her reactivity and become the best girl she can be! Due to some negative experiences when she was younger, Violet is quite reactive to other dogs on leash, and will also lunge at cars and passerby when she is out on walks. Violet is very smart and super food motivated, so we believe that with a confident guardian and consistent training she will learn to overcome her fears and improve her behaviour on leash. For the time being, however, Violet will need to live in a detached house in a quiet neighbourhood, preferably with a fenced backyard where she can get her zoomies out before heading out for a training-centered walk. At this time we will not be considering applicants that live in apartment buildings. While Violet has had good meetings with dogs off leash, we believe that while working through her leash reactivity she should go to a home without other pets or young children. In the home, Violet loves to climb into your lap for snuggles or wrap her paws around you for a nice big puppy hug! She will be a fantastic hiking or camping companion once she has made some progress with her leash manners, and this girl would love a garden where she can help dig some holes. This loving girl has endless potential, she just needs an experienced and dedicated family to help her reach it! Could you be the one Violet has been waiting for? Please come into the shelter during visiting hours if you would like to meet me. While we do welcome online applications, in person meets have top priority.cats:https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/cat-pre-adoption-questionnaire/Our visiting hours are:Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday: 12-5Thursday, Public Holidays: closedSaturday, Sunday: 12-4 Primary Color: Gold Weight: 23.2 Age: 0yrs 5mths 3wks

I can be on a flight in January, if I have an adopter lined up. Hi hi hi. My name is GOBY (Toby) and here is a little info about me:Breed: Golden Retriever mixAge: 11 months  013124Gender: maleWeight: 17 kgCountry of origin: Middle EastHighlight(s): friendly, playful, affectionate You'll see I am a very friendly pup. I will wag my tail and give you kisses.Discovered in a city, tied to a tree without water, food or shelter, a rescue shelter volunteer saved me. The locals, who had tied me up, didn't want the volunteer to free me, so she snuck back the next day and brought him to the shelter. Sheer cruelty these people try to inflict on us dogs here.I'm still a young dog, so will get very excited and jump up on you. So, I'll need you to teach me proper manners. I have met children aged 11 on and am fine with them. I am really playful and love to chase other dogs and play ball. I love pets and attention, and am really just an  affectionate boy. I did meet the one cat at the shelter and was interested in him, but in a more playful way. So likely with proper intro, I'd do fine with a kitty too. Well, hopefully a cat who likes to play anyway.I do great on leash, no reactiveness. I am still a tad worried about cars and trucks, but I'm sure given time, I will learn I am safe with you. Probably some quieter areas away from traffic to walk in the beginning would be best.While I would love a yard to run around and play in, if we could get out places for fun, that would work well too. I hear there is a thing there called dog parks, which sounds like all the rage. Hope I can experience the fun of that.Hoping to be in your arms soon.

Hi kind people. My name is EMILEE and here is a little info about me: Breed: Golden Retreiver/Labrador mixAge: 1 year, 5 monthsGender: femaleWeight: 40 lbsHighlight(s): smart, quick willing learner, seeks affection I can be silly and funny, but I am smart too. Bet I could learn all kinds of tricks.When I was just a tiny pup, something bad happened to me here in the Middle East. My paw got hurt, and I was all alone by the road, feeling really sad. But guess what? A super nice person saw me and called my rescuers for help. They came like superheroes and took care of me. They fixed up my paw, and I started feeling better. Unfortunately, one of my toes had been injured and they couldn't save it.I am not in any pain and am totally fine walking and running, but I do pick up my front leg sometimes, as you can see in my videos: https://youtube.com/shorts/1wL75mW0S2Q?feature=share. The vet has attested that I will have no issue with my paw for the rest of my life.Because I'm a bit smaller and kinda shy, they didn't want me to go back to the tough street life with the big, strong dogs. Thankfully I found a temporary home here in Canada so I am safe and my life is so much better now.You'll find me not only a fast and willing learner. That should make me easy to train. I enjoy engaging my brain and pleasing you. While I can be just a bit shy, I love to be petted. In fact, I will initiate it. I just have so much love to give. I hope you are waiting to have love lavished on you.If you have another dog, no worries, I get along well with other dogs. I have recently been living with a cat and it has been a bit lively. While I very much want to play with the cat, he doesn't feel the same way  It is best if I live in a cat-free home.  https://youtube.com/shorts/nO1ge9XxPqQ?feature=share, https://youtube.com/shorts/h1gH5KsqOLU?feature=share. I am good with kids too. I can get jazzed up when doing things and also chill out at home. It will be so nice to take some leisurely walks, some fun beach runs, some snuggle time, some hiking, some lovey-dovey time, ok, I think you get the hint. Outdoor activity time, homebody time, I love it all.
