Hello!! My name is Remi (formerly known as "Brunehilda".) Here is some information about me:
Breed: Pitbull Terrier Mix
Age: 7 year old
Gender: Female
Weight: 64 lbs
Height: 16" tall
Highlights: Energetic, resilient, affectionate, loyal & playful
As a seven-year-old pitbull mix, I've spent countless days within the walls of the North Central LA animal shelter since September 2022. It's a place where hope flickers dimly, where each day feels like a repeat of the last, and where the sound of footsteps passing by echoes with missed opportunities.
I've watched puppies come and go, their adorable antics capturing the hearts of potential adopters. But for me, the attention is fleeting, as people pass by my kennel, their eyes skimming over me as if I'm invisible. Perhaps it's my age or the stigma attached to my breed, but regardless of the reason, it's disheartening to feel overlooked time and time again.
Despite the challenges, I refuse to give up hope. Each day, I greet visitors with a wagging tail and hopeful eyes, silently pleading for someone to see the love and loyalty that I have to offer. I yearn for a forever home where I can share my affection, where I can run freely in a backyard, and where I can cuddle up with my human on a cozy couch.
But until that day comes, I find solace in the small moments – a scratch behind the ears from a kind-hearted volunteer, a game of fetch in the shelter yard, or the warmth of the sun streaming through the window of my kennel.
I may still be searching for my forever home, but I remain resilient in the face of adversity. I believe that there's someone out there who will see past the misconceptions and give me the chance I deserve. And when that day finally arrives, I'll be ready to shower them with all the love and loyalty my heart holds. Until then, I'll keep waiting, hoping, and dreaming of the day when I'll finally find my happily ever after.
They call me the Fetch Master, and at seven years old, I've honed my skills to perfection. I'll bring that ball back to your feet if you're standing, or to your lap if you're sitting – I never miss a beat.
I may have had a few dog meets, but let me tell you, my heart lies with humans. There's nothing quite like the joy of playing fetch or engaging in a game of tug-of-war with my favorite people. I'm not afraid to assert myself either; if male dogs try to dominate me, I'll set them straight with a firm correction.
Toys and treats are my guilty pleasures, but beware of the plastic bowl – I have a tendency to snatch it up and initiate a game of keep away. And boy, am I fast! You'll have to keep up if you want to catch me. And when it's time to cool off, you can find me taking a refreshing dip in the kiddie pool, enjoying every moment of the splashing and fun.
So, if you're looking for a loyal companion who's equal parts playful and spirited, look no further than me, Remi. Despite my time in the shelter, I haven't lost hope that the perfect forever home is out there, just waiting for me to find it.

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.
