Updated bio: Hi there everybody - hope I can come to Canada soon - the shelter where I am is no place for a dog like me and I think I may be developing depression. I have heard that this mood will lift once a dog has a home without so many dogs. My name is Creamy and I am a super kind, and very playful pup! My left arm never grew to its full size when I was a baby due to a birth defect, I am always limping, but you wouldn’t know it when you see me play. I love to play with other dogs nonstop.
I am extremely friendly, but I might be shy when you first meet me. It doesn’t take me long to warm up to people though. I will be on my back asking you for belly rubs in no time.
I have mostly had exposure to smaller dogs and terriers, but I also get along really well with people and bigger dogs. You just need to give me a chance. I really hope to be able to come to Canada soon, because honestly, living in a shelter and limping around all the time it’s not the most ideal situation for me. I would love to be in a more comfortable environment with loving parents that will help me thrive and be the pup I want to be and have the life I deserve. I really hope that you will end up being my person!
Hi everybody! My name is Creamy and I am just a doll! I was rescued when I was only two months old. My mother had just given birth to a litter of puppies, and I was one of them! I was born without one leg.
The man who called the shelter and informed them of me was able to adopt out all of the puppies, except for me, apparently because of my deformity. I know, I was very surprised as well! It doesn’t hinder me from doing anything! I’m actually extremely playful and love to play with other dogs! There is nothing that I can’t do! Well, except for growing another leg. But I don’t need to!
I am a little shy at first when I meet new people, but I will warm up to strangers very fast as long as they are nice to me. I love to get on my back and get belly rubs once I get to know you.
I get along with:
Dogs: yes
Kids: yes
Cats: unknown
Prey drive: not observed, adopter needs to be willing to train me should these behaviors arise.
Energy level: moderately high and active (very playful)
Fears: I am not afraid of much. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.
Training:
Leash training: no. Please be prepared to train me.
House trained: no. Please be prepared to help me learn!
Here are some videos of me at the shelter.

Health notes: I am missing a left front leg, but that does not hinder me from doing anything.
I have been spayed, vaccinated, and micro chipped
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 fight 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.
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.
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.
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.
