Labrador Retriever puppies and dogs in Abbotsford, British Columbia

Hi, my name is Soba (Nono.) I am a 4 year old female labrador/Border Collie cross (best guess from my appearance). I have been in Canada (Greater Vancouver) for 3 years but, due to life circumstances of my adopter, he is unable to keep me. I am a loving dog who really enjoys being with my humans. I can be a bit vocal when I meet dogs on walks but I know I can learn some different greeting skills! After all, I'm part border collie and they can learn marvelous things! Please, please, come and meet me. You'll see what a great dog I am. I have recently been having a few knee problems which may need some help from a vet but you can find out more about this from my rehoming adopter. Whatever is the issue, it's not slowing me down much.  I  once had a family in the Middle East who actually rescued me from the street when I was just a month old. But they had to give me to the shelter for protection because someone called the police and they wanted to take me away. You see dogs are illegal to own here and quite often dogs are ripped away from our families and killed. I was lucky to be loved enough to be put in a shelter and not just thrown on the street. Even though I am safe from the police, life in a shelter can be very rough for some dogs. I am one of those dogs. I am a very sweet and loving dog and some of the other dogs see me a weak and are starting to attack me. I am so very scared so I would really love to get into another home quickly. I am not used to shelter life and I am getting very depressed. I really am a great dog. I am very smart and kind. I try hard to be friends with the other dogs here and I really do want to be friends and thankfully some of them are nice with me. I am loving with my human caretakers and I would love to be in a home, any home really. I would love to go on long walks and have playtime in the dog park too. I do have an advantage over some of the other dogs here in Iran because I actually did live in a home so I have an idea of how that is. I should make an easy transition into my new life. So as you see I urgently need to get our of the shelter before I get hurt by the other dogs. I am looking so forward to my new life in Canada all curled up and cozy in your home.   I am spayed, vaccinated and micro-chipped    My adoption fee is $500.00    please see our adoption guidelines at www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca   nono/fariba   ##204543##

**Currently fostered at Okanagan, BC **Hello my name is Brodie and here is some information about me:  Brodie: 3 yrs - 28 kg - Male neutered - Shepherd mix - Good with cats – Good with dogs - House trained (maybe a couple of accidents in a new home at first) - He is skittish at first and needs time to gain trust - Only barks when very excited - Medium energy level - Good on leash but sometimes pulls when he is afraid - Healthy - When he was a 1 month old puppy, he was rescued from the street and kept in a home and once he got bigger, he was surrendered to a shelter in the Middle East. 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 and should begin within a few days after arrival. After your dog has settled in, check out 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. I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD + applicable taxes 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.

Hi there. My name is PARIS and here is a little info about me:Breed: Lab mixAge: 4.5 years oldGender: FemaleWeight: 35 kgsHeight: 62 cmHighlights: affectionate, playful, like toys An affectionate, energetic girl looking for a good time. Quite playful. That's my singles ad. Heehee.My rescuer found me in a high school garden in Turkey with my 7 little babies. I actually was born into the same school garden, but had a car accident one day. The teachers who gave me food and water had me treated, but since I wasn’t spayed, I had already gotten pregnant.When my puppies started to grow, guardians of the students complained about me with false accusations and it caused my path to cross with my real rescuers. They found me a fenced garden where I can be safe.They are bringing food and water everyday, but I’m bored here because I love my human companion. The happiest times for me are when my rescuers bring me raw chicken, egg and dog biscuits. You could say I am spoiled, but for my lack of being able to interact with my beloved humans as I so desire. I love being petted and to hang out with people: https://youtu.be/futYesYv48Y. That's what us dogs were designed for, right?Though I will guard my space from another dog, once properly introduced, I am fine. I can be a bit picky who my good doggie friends will be, so proper intro is vital (large males especially.) I'm not an alpha and will get along afterward.  https://youtu.be/7mYppnNWYtM.I really like chewing on play toys and I can be left alone for hours without issue. I'm such a good girl. I do get excited easily though, so a bit of training will help that.I'd enjoy a fairly active home. Maybe long hikes in the forest or runs on the beach. I hear those are splendid. Absolutely we need our cuddle time too, so I can be, oh so close to you. Energy Level: High Fears: None observed. Please be patient during my transition. No prey drive observed. I get along with:Dogs: yes, bit choosy, video soonCats: UnknownKids: Unknown Training: some leashworkLeash skills: I’m comfortable on the leash, but please be prepared to continue training.House trained: Not yet. Please be prepared to help me learn! No crate training. Health notes: Xrays have revealed I was shot with some buckshot. It is causing no harm, so the vet said best to leave it alone.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.

Good day everyone. My name is Willow and here is some info on me:Breed: Labrador Retriever/Rottie/Pittie mixAge: 4 yrsGender: femaleWeight: 85 lbsHeight: tbdHighlight(s): sweet, people loving, alert, happy, eager to learn. I am a super sweet girl who loves people.My owners dropped me at the shelter in Texas, stating I am protective of my space, but it really seems to be because they are about to have a baby and don't want to bother with training me. Sad.Don't you just love my sleek black fur. Yup, I'm a happy labbie something, something, something mix... LOL. Best of all worlds. Grin.I have typical young dog energy. Toned down a tad now that I am 4 though.Now, while I do love people, I will bark at first if someone new comes to the house. That is my alert to my owner, hey someone is here. Once I see my owner is fine with them though, then I am friendly too. Being treat motivated helps. A morsel of cheese or other goodie and I am mush in your hands.I won the doggie jackpot being fostered by a dog trainer!!! Being with my foster I have developed confidence and have learned how to behave appropriately around other dogs. With proper introductions I seem to be good with pretty much all dogs now, Yay!!! I would love a forever home that will continue to set structure and boundaries to make me a confident doggo. Just give me consistent reinforcement & encouragement and I know I will be the dream dog you desire.My former owners kept trying to force interactions I was not comfortable with, since they just didn't have the experience to handle me. I just needed time to adjust and a bit of training and I am a new GIRL!!!. Truly, I am just a honey bunny, who you'll enjoy cuddling. Oh, I'm also already house-trained. Bonus score.

Good day. My name is BOJI (Gaara) and here is a little info about me:Breed: Lab/Saluki mix (Baladi dog)Age: 2-1/2 yrsGender: maleWeight: 55 lbsHeight: 24-1/2 inchesHighlight(s): sweet, loves food, easy personality SUPERB UPDATE: I can walk again. I had my surgery and it is working, I am no longer paralyzed. Now, I just need to strengthen up. Please keep watch for updated videos of my progress. Are you my nurturing family to help me get back to full stature?Check out my vids. See how happy I am. Here are a couple more: https://youtube.com/shorts/l6Wd8p3YqOE?feature=share,https://youtube.com/shorts/ybL7kOV2u7Q?feature=share,  https://youtube.com/shorts/WzC8L-1VQbo?feature=shareMore to come. I am so sweet and just love life. My mission in life will be to love you up and make you smile.One morning in Egypt, my rescuer, who feeds all us street dogs found me injured and unable to walk! So it's most likely I was hit by a car. This is quite common here, sadly. They don't even try to avoid us dogs. I was not depressed by this situation, as I wanted to live, so my rescuers didn't give up on my life. They consulted at number of vets here, but they didn't feel confident about doing surgery to help me walk again.They finally checked with a specialist & they are verifying that he could possibly do a couple surgeries to fix me enough to rehab walking again, at least with one of my rear legs. I do have movement in it: https://youtube.com/shorts/IpjMJLi-yRs, https://youtube.com/shorts/cfcp80bTSQk. My x-rays are included. Hoping the first can occur soon. They are fund-raising. Hopefully by the time I reach Canada, I will be set to walk around. Maybe a Canada specialist will have even better ideas.I love food, so should be easy to motivate for any training, like learning to use a wheelchair and walk with you on leash, for example. They say I have such a good heart and am a good natured pup.It is rather boring for me here, as I am stuck in an apartment all day, as life is not kind to any dogs here, but even worse for a disabled dog. Hoping you are ready for me, so I can get to Canada and live a real life, as a dog should.I get along well with others: https://youtube.com/shorts/hrQyd81lDLw and display no aggressive tendencies at all. Awaiting a video of me with other dogs. No idea how I'd be with cats or kids, never been around them. I'm pretty easy going though, so given proper intro, I could probably do well. Plus if the kitty is fast, I couldn't keep up. LOL.I am aware of my bladder and bowels and will move away from my sleeping spot to go. So, maybe some pee pads for now will work.If you are looking for a snuggle buddy and someone to share meaningful strolls with, I'm yer guy.

A wheelchair will be needed.House trained: No. Please help me learn where to go in my new home Health notes: Due to my original disability, I have not yet been spayed/neutered, but I am vaccinated and microchipped.My adoption fee is $700.00 CAD plus applicable taxes.

Hi there, I'm Terry and here's some information about me: Age: 3 yearsBreed: Labrador crossWeight: 50 lbsGender: Female I was rescued along with my brother, Bolder, from Texas about 2 years ago. Unfortunately, my current owner's living situation has changed and she has to find a new home for us as soon as possible or face eviction. At the moment we're forced to spend most of our time in the garage so we're really missing our interactions with our humans!  My brother and I are quite close so ideally, we'd love to be adopted together, but if that's not an option for anyone out there, we could go to different homes. I've been nicknamed 'Licky' as I just love to shower you with kisses! My current owner says that I'm a super sweet girl. I get along with pretty much anybody and everybody; kids, cats, and other dogs (though I haven't been tested with toddlers). I love exploring the outdoors and going on adventures! Kids think of me and my brother as their best buds.  As I have lots of energy, a home with a big fenced yard would be the best thing ever so I could spend lots of time running around. Being alert and always looking out for my family, I will let you know if there's a stranger nearby. I also know commands like 'sit' and 'lay down' and I'm eager to learn more.  With direction and patience, I hope to learn more things to please my human(s). I'm still working on my leash skills as I like to pull, please be willing to teach me! I'm waiting to love you up. Energy Level: High My adoption fee is $800 CAD + applicable taxes. Our adoption fee together with my brother Bolder is $1000 CAD + applicable taxes.
