My name is FELIZ and here is a little info about me:
Breed: Golden Retriever/Labrador Retriever/German Shepard mix
Age: 4 years (almost 5)
Gender: male
Weight: 44 lbs
Country of origin: Mexico
Highlight(s): obedient, mellow, eager to please, loyal, loving, intelligent, & playful
TTa-daaaah! A joyful, always-smiling companion whose name literally means "happy",and I promise to live up to it every day!
My journey began in Guatemala in 2024, where I followed a traveler for days, waiting patiently outside her Airbnb every morning.
One afternoon, thinking I’d lost her, my heartbreaking cry convinced her I deserved a forever home.
After a temporary move to Mexico, I’m finally ready for my true forever chapter in Canada.
Inside the house, I’m the definition of relaxed, you’ll usually find me napping or chewing on a bone with zero interest in your shoes or furniture!
While generally quiet, a good 20-minute play session is always welcome before my next nap.
I thrive on consistency and have impressive obedience skills, though I can get a bit overstimulated by the "craziness" of city life.
A quiet suburb or acreage would be my ideal setting to avoid city stress.
Since I have some separation anxiety, having a "dominant but calm" dog sibling would be a huge help.
I’m looking for an experienced home, ideally with a firm yet positive male caretaker to help me stay on track.

Energy Level: low-moderate
I get along with:
Dogs: yes
Cats: no
Kids: unknown
Fears: New people need a little time to win my trust. Overly animated individuals or loud motorcycles can be startling, so please be patient during my transition.
Prey Drive: Medium-high. Hyper-fixation on squirrels and cats is part of my nature.
Training:
Leash skills: Excellent. Having completed two levels of intensive obedience training, I heel perfectly.
House trained: Yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home.
Health notes:
I have been spayed/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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
[MID-EAST] *Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza. Bordetella is not given, as that has not been a problem in the Middle East.
[TURKEY] Dogs from Turkey receive a 4D SNAP test to include Heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmania and Anaplasmosis.

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.
