Take the Pet Home
This helps Loved At Last Dog Rescue with pet care costs.
Hi, my name is CARSON (aka Charlie) and here is a little info about me:
Age: 5 years
Gender: male
Weight: 60lbs / 27kg
Height: 64cm / 25in
Highlights: playful with other dogs, cuddly, good with all adults, food guarding
UPDATE: I made it to Canada!
I was found wandering the streets with injured legs, likely discarded when I could no longer serve the purpose I was once used for — possibly hunting, based on my instincts and gentle nature with people. When a kind animal lover stopped to help me, I tried to climb right into her car. When she let me, I rested my head on her lap the whole ride home to say thank you.
I was skin and bones — covered in scrapes and dangerously underweight. I ended up in an overcrowded shelter where I feared I might lose access to the provided food.
I’ve now made it to Canada and am living in a foster home where I’m gaining weight, building confidence, and learning that food will always be there for me.
There is so much good about me. I am fully house trained (though I’ll admit — I’m not a fan of rain and will hold it if I must!). I bond quickly and deeply with my people. I freely approach adults and absolutely love affection. Cuddling? My specialty.
My current foster home has children, so given my food resource guarding, that is not a compatible match. I need an adults-only home. Teens who can understand the issue and effectively handle the rules of the situation would likely be fine. The home where I am at would keep me, if not for a young child. While I do get along with other dogs awesomely well, unless you are experienced with a means to separate us for food issues while I overcome my fears of losing my food supply, it might be best if I am the only dog, for now.
I am making good progress in so many ways, even after only a few weeks. I am very responsive to learning and am quite intelligent. I am calmly settling in and I am putting on good weight. I am trying to push boundaries with my new freedom, so a confident leader is advised. I am not pulling on the leash so much now and go for daily walks. I'm good with other dogs. I just don't like the little yappy ones, but will pass by them. I do have birdiness and will creep up, then leap at flappy winged creatures.
Being left alone at home is not something I enjoy. I am not destructive at all, just a bit unsure that safety will return. But again, that neediness is subsiding drastically, as I settle in. I like going in the car with you and will patiently await your return. Best to not leave groceries with me in the car though. I will think they are mine.
I just need someone understanding of my past to give me the time to learn that I will always have food and will never starve again. Please work with me on this and know, it will improve over time. I just need love meanwhile. I will be your bestest loyal boy.
Energy level: moderate
I get along with:
dogs: yes
cats: no
kids: only teens & older
Prey drive: medium. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.
Fears: loss of a food source. Please be patient with me through my transition.
Training: Some leash training. Leash skills still need some work. Generally happily walks alongside human handlers, can become stressed and may refuse to walk when he feels pressure from collar/harness. Please be prepared to continue training.
House trained: No. Please be prepared to help!
Health notes: I have a limp in my right hind leg. My rescuers don’t know what caused it, but according to the vet, there is an old break that healed incorrectly on it's own. No intervention or treatment is necessary or recommended now. I will be able to have a normal life despite my limp. Sometimes I prefer not to use my leg, but when I run and play I do use it. My rescuer can provide X-Rays.
I have been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
My adoption fee is $750.00 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.
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 problematic 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.

Take the Pet Home
As adopters of overseas dogs will be taking their dog home from the airport, they have a couple of weeks to decide if the dog is a fit.
