American Pit Bull Terrier puppies and dogs in Vancouver, British Columbia

Brisket would make a wonderful companion for someone with an active lifestyle. He is friendly, fun and full of energy. Brisket is also eager to learn, and with very dedicated professional training will become a good canine citizen. We would love to set Brisket up with someone who is willing to dedicate sufficient time to training and exercise. Given the right opportunity, we're certain that Brisket will flourish in his new home. Brisket would be an amazing candidate for dog sports, he has a lot of energy to burn! Our preference for this dog would be someone who has experience with working bred bully breeds. Due to his previous situation, we would prefer Brisket to be in a detached home with a yard. (may have previous trauma with small spaces. ie, apartments.) Other Dogs: Yes, his size and well matched only Cats: We are unable to test for cats Kids: 16 + adult sized teenagers would be ok Apartments: No Walks: Needs a lot of work on leash manners, pulls hard. New People: Yes, loves them.... a LOT Other notes: Brisket needs a dog experienced adopter, not fit for first time dog owners. -------------------------------------------------------------------- At City of Vancouver Animal Services, we have a foster-to-adopt program whereby prospective new owners foster the adoptable animal for 30 days before committing to adoption.

**Currently fostered in Houston Texas but is available for out of state adoption via rescue transportation. Virtual meet and greet offered prior to adoption commitment** Kyra is a happy go lucky pup who found herself abandoned on the streets. She was emaciated, had poor skin and just full of worms. Thankfully an amazing woman found her and took her in. She got her clean, well fed, and fully vetted. Now, Kyra is ready to start the next chapter in her adventure! Kyra is just over 2 years old, and is a total hambone of a dog. We believe she is some kind of pitbull, retriever, hound mix. Basically what we call, a Texas Street Special! Whatever her breed, she is all adventure pup and very eager for life. Kyra loves people, I don't think she could ever meet a stranger. She's extremely loving, and enjoys cuddles on the couch, giving kisses, and looking cute for treats! We think she would even do wonderfully with children. Kyra has done wonderful with other dogs as well. She is fantastic at her doggie daycare, does well at dog parks, and loves to play. She doesn't mind the cats, She does chase them at times when she just wants to play. Kyra is not an aggressive dog, but she can lack the meaning of personal space and some of the cats we've introduced her to have not taken kindly to that. We think she could do well in just about any home, however, she would prefer to have regular play mates that can keep up with her be it siblings or play mates from friends, neighbors or daycare environment. She just wants to enjoy life with someone! Kyra does very well with training, mostly due to the fact that she's so smart. She learns quickly, and at times, can be TOO smart. Like how she knows how to push the door open if it's not latched properly. She knows her basics such as sit, kennel, stay. Her only need for training is working on her impulse control. She is fully crate trained, and is doing fantastic with her leash training. She is housebroken, but being such a big pup still, we suggest using a kennel until fully acclimated. Though she quite enjoys cuddling in the bed or couch. Kyra is fully vetted, meaning she is current on all vaccinations and preventions. She is spayed as well as microchipped too. For more information on how to adopt Kyra, contact us at MokasMission@Gmail.com.

Geronimoooo! We have so many great things to say about this cuddle bug we can barely fit it into one little blurb! This handsome boy, affectionately known as Gerry, Gerr-Bear and Mo, is a delightful goofball looking for his forever home! Originally found running loose outside a grocery store, poor Gerry had open bite wounds on his leg and face from being attacked by a dog or coyote. Despite his tough start, he's transformed into a loving companion with an unquenchable thirst for belly rubs and cuddles. Geronimo is happiest with his favourite people around, if he could be glued to your side, that would be his choice! One of our absolute favourite things about Gerry is his love of toys. This man LOVES stuffed animals, and each morning will joyfully prance around showing staff each of his favourite toys. He's a perfect combination of lazy couch potato, and active outdoor adventurer. He can often be found cuddled up with staff in our lunch room on the couch. As a strong boy, Gerry will benefit from some leash training to help him learn proper walking etiquette. His excitement often leads to enthusiastic jumping, so be prepared for some joyful greetings! And since he can leap impressively high, he should not be left alone in a yard as he will likely find a way out! Gerry has shown some positive interactions with other dogs and could thrive with a canine friends, but would be best suited as the only dog in the home - especially after being recently attacked. Gerry is fully house-trained and would love a house with yard access to run and play.Come down and see why everyone is falling in love with this sweet potato. We are open for viewing from 12pm-3pm daily (except Mondays - closed) OR fill out an application online! Primary Color: Brown Weight: 28.6 Age: 2yrs 0mths 2wks

🎀 Meet Clory! 🎀 Hello there, future family! I’m Clory, a 3-year-old Pitbull/Jindo mix with a soft white coat and a heart full of love. I was rescued from a kill shelter, and after receiving treatment for heartworm, I’m ready to find my forever home where I can relax, play, and be the best companion ever. 🏡💕 Why I’m Special: • 🍪 Snack Enthusiast: I’m a little shy at first, but offer me a treat, and I’ll warm up to you in no time! Snacks are the way to my heart, and before you know it, I’ll be showing you my belly for some rubs. • 🐕 Social Butterfly (With Limits): I enjoy meeting new dogs, especially those my size, but I’m not much for roughhousing. I prefer peaceful encounters and tend to avoid confrontation if another dog gets a little too feisty. • 🚶‍♀️ Walks & Quiet Time: I love being outdoors and going for walks, though I can get a bit excited and pull on the leash. Don’t worry—I’m working on it! After a good walk, I’m all about resting quietly by your side. • 🛏️ Calm & Composed: I’m a good girl when it comes to quiet time. I’m calm in a kennel and well-behaved at home, making me an easy companion to live with. • 🍽️ Foodie with a Side of Sass: While I don’t guard my food from people, I can get a little growly if another dog tries to take my meal. With some training and understanding, I’m sure we can work through it together! A Few Things to Know: • Quick to Bond: It only takes me a few minutes to get comfortable with new people, especially if snacks are involved. I’m food-motivated, so training me is a breeze—I already know how to “sit” like a champ! 🐾 • Needs a Little Guidance: I’m a strong-willed girl and need an owner who can provide consistent training. If I feel too pampered, I might get a little too confident and try to boss other dogs around. But with the right balance of love and boundaries, I’ll be the perfect companion. Could Clory Be Your New Best Friend? I’m ready to find a home where I can be loved, trained, and cherished. If you’re looking for a loyal, sweet, and slightly sassy dog who will keep you on your toes, I’m your girl! Let’s meet and start our journey together—I can’t wait to show you how amazing I am. 🐾💖 Love, Clory 🎀 For more videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIsLTtIpe3JxTjkNfb9rScGAtdz41oEda

Is often the first to greet new dogs at the Center and welcomes those approaching her without reservation. Tolerates playful nips well from other dogs. Mingles with any dog without confrontation. * Separation Anxiety: It’s hard to determine because she is residing in a group at the Center.

Prefers outdoor potty but occasionally has potty accidents in her kennel when it is urgent. * Hygiene: Stays still while being touched by humans. Accepts baths and brushing nicely. Is patient enough to have her nail trimmed quietly once her paws are properly held. * Walks: Is currently under training because she does not feel comfortable at going for walk for now. There is no resistance to wear a collar or harness. Wears clothes well but takes them off promptly on her own maybe due to their tight feeling. 💌Special Notes💌 * Her skin discoloration should improve in a cleaner environment. * Though timid, Mina sometimes acts boldly. Her attraction is charm and smile even though her personality is somewhat cat-like. ❗Health Status❗ * Neutering: Done * Others: Microchipped, heartworm negative * Due to the muddy conditions at the Center, Mina’s legs have become discolored from constant contact with dirt.

Helloooooo Canadaaaaa! My name is Kyros and here is some info about me: Breed: American Pitbull TerrierAge: 8 yrsGender: maleWeight: 28 kgs/ 61lbsHeight: tbd Witnesses saw me being dumped from a car on a busy highway. Terribly shameful thing for someone to do. Thank goodness my rescuer saved me. After my rescue, my old owner was identified and my rescuer discovered that I lived most of my life (5 years) tied outside a garage... through cold winters and hot, hot summers. I lived neglected and tossed away.  Horrible again. I was adopted within 6 months after being rescued from the side of the highway.  My owner and I bonded very well and had some great times together!  He was showing me kindness and helping me to trust and learn some rewarding behaviours.  Unfortunately, he suffered a sudden heart attack and passed away.  So sad.  After that, I was placed in a paid boarding facility, where I am extremely depressed and barely eating.  I am an extremely loyal and protective dog. I often get depressed and stop eating if I am not with a human for a long period of time. I warm up to, and bond with people very quickly.  I stay close to my human and give them a lot of sloppy kisses and love. I can be trained easily once I trust the person.  My motivations have been verbal and physical praise and attention-- show me love and I will follow your command! I was initially reactive towards all dogs, but with training and some socialization from my previous owner, I was able to approach female dogs in a playful way without reacting. See my video. Though still not friendly with male dogs at all (have a bite history with a male dog). I will never be the dog who can be left off-leash in a park, but with proper training and leadership, I can be a very good dog and loyal companion! Through the work my owner had done, I can walk past barking male dogs (with a secure fence separating us) without flinching (before I was adopted, I used to lunge and pull right away), but if one of them crosses a line and annoys me, I will still lunge and snap at them. If my training is resumed, I'm sure I can improve further. I showed definite improvement with someone taking the time to work with me. The best home would be one without young children or other pets. I will do well with 1.5 hours of walking per day and around 30 minutes of running or tug play. It would be ideal to be in a home with a fenced space for off-leash play, since I cannot be left with other dogs. It would be grand if I could go to a Pitbull knowledgeable home.  We're truly an amazing breed! ENERGY LEVEL: Moderate I GET ALONG WITH:Dogs: ok with females (on leash only) and not friendly at all with males.Cats: unknown, but not likelyKids: unknown. I greet kids (7-10 yrs) during walks, but have never lived with one. I seem friendly and kind with them during walks.  Must be monitored. PREY DRIVE: High FEARS:none that my rescue mom knows of! I do get jumpy if someone does a lot of sudden movements around me due to my abusive history. TRAINING: someLeash skills – I am leash reactive, so will need continued work on this. My previous owner was teaching me how to walk nicely on the leash, but I still pull a lot!House trained – I was in a home before, but need a refresher!Other tricks – sit and stay HEALTH NOTES:I am a healthy boy. I am fully vaccinated and neutered. I am also microchipped! My adoption fee is $650.00 CAD + applicable taxes, which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver. I would likely fly through Montreal, see extra costs below. 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. ##1304455##
