Story
Hi there! My name is Orlo and here’s a little bit about me:
Breed: Beagle & Shepherd MixAge: Approx. 6 years oldGender: MaleWeight: 33 kgLocation: Vancouver, BCCountry of Origin : TurkeyHighlights: Extremely affectionate, gentle, soulful, social with dogs, loves cuddles and human connection
If you are looking for a dog who doesn’t just live with you, but genuinely connects with you, I might be your perfect match. I’m a huge softie with an even bigger heart, and cuddling is truly my specialty.
My rescuers spotted me acting abnormally as I had a metal pin in my leg from a previous surgery which wasn't properly cared for. Thankfully, it doesn’t bother me at all and I move around comfortably without the need for any special care. I’m healthy, happy, and ready to find my forever family!
I’m currently thriving in my Vancouver foster home. My temporary family describes me as sweet, calm, and very chill. I adore sitting beside (sometimes on...) my humans. I’m what they call a "true hugger"— if I'm not finished receiving your attention, I'll place one of my big, gentle paws on you as my way of asking for "more, please".
I previously lived peacefully in a large pack environment, so I get along well with other dogs. Since moving to Vancouver, I can sometimes feel unsure when meeting unfamiliar dogs on leash and may emit a low growl or react from a distance, though I've never shown any aggression. With patience, structure, and positive reinforcement, I’m already learning to feel more comfortable. As I'm still adjusting to my new city life, I’m not currently suited for off-leash dog parks.
I would thrive in a calm and loving home with adults or children aged 12+ who understand my gentle personality and large size. Whether you live in an apartment or house, I’m happiest anywhere I feel safe, loved, and included. I'm a big boy and slower-moving, so while I love exploring the outdoors on walks, I'm not likely to be eager to join you on long runs.

I have been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
My adoption fee is $700.00 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. You will NOT be asked to pay a passenger fee on top of the cargo fee.
[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 Leishmania, Heartworm, Ehrlichia, & Anaplasma, as well as Giardia, Parvo, Corona & Distemper.
