Anatolian Shepherd puppies and dogs in British Columbia

Hello beautiful people! I am Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Here is some info you need to know about me. Breed: Anatolian Shepherd   Age: 3 yrs   Gender: femaleHeight: 60 cm Weight: 40 kgCountry of Origin: Middle EastHighlights: calm, mellow, friendly, food motivated, loyal I’m a three-year-old sweetie who has been living at this shelter since I was just a year old puppy. Yep, you read that right—I’ve been here 2/3 of my whole life, waiting for my forever home. I might be a bit on the chubby side (okay, maybe more than a bit!), but that just means there’s more of me to love!I’m the definition of mellow. I’m not extremely active—running around and chasing things isn’t really my style. I’d much rather find a cozy spot to nap or enjoy a nice snack.I love food—maybe a little too much—but who can blame me? Treats are the best!I’m super friendly and love people. I’ll happily hang out with you, whether you want to go for a leisurely walk or just relax together. And if you’re into cuddling, I’m your perfect match! I’ve got plenty of warmth and affection to share, and I’m always up for snuggling on the couch.I also get along really well with other dogs. I’m not the jealous type; I’m just happy to be part of the pack. So, if you’re looking for a laid-back, cuddle-loving companion who doesn’t need a lot of exercise, I’m your girl! I’ve been waiting patiently for someone to take me home—could it be you? Energy level: moderate to low I get along with:Dogs: yes  Cats: unknown  Kids: unknown Prey Drive: non-observed, however, my adopter needs to be willing to train me should these behaviors rise. Fears: I am definitely not afraid of much. I will just need patience to get used to my new environment. Training: some    Leash training: yes. I walk well on leash. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: no. Please help me learn. I have been in the shelter my whole life. Health notes: I have been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. My adoption fee is 800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes transportation to Canada, if accompanied by a fight volunteer directly to Vancouver. We encourage 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. [MID-EAST] *Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza.

Hello everyone! My name is Brad, and here is some info about me:Breed: Anatolian Shepherd mixAge: 1 yearGender: maleWeight: 68 poundsHeight: tbdHighlights: playful, food motivated, dog interactive I was found in the Middle East by a very sweet lady and her Samoyed dog outside of a vet clinic. I was taped up in a box along with my sister. Thankfully, her dog was able to sniff us out and lead her to us. We were both crying, and were extremely scared. Clearly someone had separated us from our mom. The lady was thankfully able to take us back home and nurse us back to health. We were slowly introduced to solid food after a few weeks and we love it! Especially me! My sister is more of a lady. I honestly think deep down she loves the food as much as I do, but doesn’t like to show it.I am extremely playful and love playing with my ball. I sometimes like to play with my big brother (the Samoyed) but he’s usually not in the mood to play with me and like I said, my sister can be a little stuck up. Even so, it would be great if we were adopted together. Our fee would be reduced, if so.I am scared of busy streets and cars. Can't blame me there, the cars zipping around are dangerous. With time and training that should improve though. I do know how to use a pee pad and have had a teeny bit of work on leash. I'm quite young, so will need full training yet.I love other dogs as you can see, I've had a lot of practice with my sister. https://youtube.com/shorts/v9KNuegdA5w?si=ReUELjDitm2dbXLp Love to have an opportunity to come to Canada! If you adopt me, I promise to be the dreamy Brad Pitt in your life! Energy level: Moderate-highI get along with:Other dogs: yesCats: unknownKids: yes, await vids Prey drive: unknown/not observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me should these behaviors arise.Fears: busy streets/cars. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: very littleLeash training: a bit. Please be prepared to train me.House trained: partially, pee pad. Please help me learn where to go in my new home. Health notes:I am neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. My adoption fee is 800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes transportation to Canada, if accompanied by a fight volunteer directly to Vancouver.  Most passengers from the Middle East now require a fee to accompany a dog on a flight. Due to this, if a rescuer finds a flight with this requirement, we will contact you to see if you are willing to pay the passenger. You are under no obligation to do this. If not, another flight will need to be searched for, though there is no guarantee a free or lower cost one will be found. Though oft times a passenger is requesting higher amounts, the fee will not exceed $250. Our rescuers work extremely hard finding flights and spend tremendous amounts of money caring for and sending these dogs to safety. They simply haven't the extra money to cover this. Thank you for your understanding.

PLEASE HELP. Turkey has voted in an amendment on street dogs. Within two years now, there will be no street dogs in Turkey. We will be collected up and placed in shelters, where we will remain for the rest of our life, unless we are adopted. Turkey shelters are crowded, disease ridden, with no vaccination programs. Currently, we are being killed in horrendous ways by people who feel they have the okay because of this law. This is the future I face, if I am unable to find a home. My name is TEKYLA (Toffee) and here is a little info about me:Breed: Anatolian Shepard mixAge: 1 yearGender: feWeight: 23 kgHeight: 63 cmCountry of origin: TurkeyHighlight(s): sociable, affectionate, gentle, kisser I love the company of humans and am very affectionate and gentle. I give the best cuddles. I go up on my back legs and wrap my front legs around your waist - then will shower you with kisses.  In November 2023, I was found abandoned in the forest, at only 6 weeks old. I was with my 6 siblings (1 of whom was already dead). My rescuers  moved me and my siblings to a garden park.In January 2024, me and my siblings started to show signs of becoming ill, distemper was diagnosed and another one of my siblings died. I successfully fought the disease, undergoing  eight weeks of immune boosting treatment. In March, the volunteers arrived to find me looking very poorly and another of my siblings, dead in the pen. The vet diagnosed we had eaten something toxic. My x-ray showed that I also had a blockage. I remained at the vets for a few days of treatment and eventually passed the blockage. Only a few days after returning back to the park, me and my siblings became ill again – this time parvo was diagnosed, and we all spent about a week at the vets having intensive treatment. Once again recovering.I returned again to the park in March and quite quickly, I started to show signs that I was uncomfortable sharing a pen with my litter mates. I was separated until I was spayed.Once recovered, I was allowed to spend time “free running” in the forest with my siblings and some of the older dogs that have lived in the forest for many years. After a week or so, it was felt that I had settled into my life and was released to join the others.After being released full time, I had a few incidents with my siblings ONLY (Never other dogs), and sustained a wound, which became infected. As a result, I was penned on my own. What a miserable existence with no canine company and human volunteers only visiting for a short period of time, once a day. Now though, I am gaining confidence and getting along with my siblings too.  https://youtu.be/Ilwa1tqhkSU, https://youtu.be/425d7keUe7Q Initially, I would take a while to “warm up", remaining cautious/nervous of people I am not familiar with and also new things. Now, I have been socializing and it only takes seconds for me to make friends. I am the most beautifully friendly girl. Sociable with humans and other dogs. I have never had an incident or issue with the older dogs at the park, I enjoy playing with them and spending time with them. The only issue seems to be sibling rivalry. My rescuers are confident I could live happily with older dogs, of any size, but likely would not tolerate sharing my space with a dog of the same age. I should have no problem sharing my space with a younger dog/puppy, as I love the ones here. Currently, I am excitable when I first greet you, but that’s purely due to the fact I am penned alone, desperate for some company and have a lot of energy to burn off. Once I have a routine at home, I should settle down though. Us Anatolians are generally pretty mellow most of the time, with burst energy. I am obedient and just want to please. You'll see I am a very clever girl and enjoy all my training sessions.You'll find I am a very pretty girl, with an unusually “wavy” coat. I am also a lovely smaller sized "large" dog. With an uncertain future ahead, I am hoping to get to Canada. My safety and my life depend upon it. Videos comjng soon. Energy Level: moderate highI get along with:Dogs: yes. But older dogs best, no similar aged onesCats: unknownKids: unknown Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training:Leash skills: unknown. Please be prepared to train me.House trained: No. Please help me learn! Health notes: Distemper and Parvo survivor.I have been spayed, 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.
