Hi! My name is Cookie 🍪🤍 I’m a 1-year-old female Border Collie mix, about 15kg — a lovable medium-sized girl with a bright spirit and an even brighter heart. When I was still very young, I was placed on a euthanasia list. But someone chose not to give up on me. I was rescued and spent a month at a training center for evaluation — and the result was summed up in one word: “Perfect.” ✨ Now I’m living safely in a foster home, waiting for my forever family. My biggest charm? My social skills! I get along beautifully with other dogs, especially smaller ones. I’m playful and energetic, but also thoughtful — I actually prefer playing with dogs smaller than me and adjust my energy to match theirs. I don’t just play… I play kindly. 🐶💕 I love running, playing, and burning off my energy with friends. I prefer pottying outdoors, and after a good play session, I’m happy and satisfied. If you already have a dog at home, I think we could be the perfect team! When I first meet new people, I might look a tiny bit shy. But don’t worry — it doesn’t take long for me to warm up. I’ll gently approach, open my heart, and show you my sweet, affectionate side. I have a quiet kind of charm that sneaks up on you. 🤍 Because I’m still young, I’m happiest when I’m not alone. I truly thrive when I have a dog friend to run and play with. A life where I can share my days — that’s the life that fits me best. My second chance at life saved me. Now I’m hoping for a life where I’m never alone again. A home filled with warmth, family, and maybe even a furry best friend. Will you be my forever family? 🐾💕

Chase is young, smart, energetic, and full of personality. Like many young Border Collies, he has a lot of energy and a strong drive, and he needs more than just a loving home - he needs someone who understands his breed and is willing to continue working with him. Chase currently pulls on leash and can be reactive toward other male dogs and small dogs, so he is looking for an experienced owner who understands dog behavior, can provide structure and consistent training, and will set him up for success. He isn't looking for someone to simply "manage" him. He needs someone who will teach him, advocate for him, and give him appropriate outlets for his energy and intelligence. With the right person, we believe Chase has so much potential. Behind that intensity is a young dog who deserves the chance to learn, grow, and become the best version of himself. Chase is looking for: - An experienced dog owner - Someone comfortable working with reactivity - A structured, active lifestyle - Continued training and mental enrichment - Ideally, a home without small dogs, male dogs, or cats Chase may not be the easiest dog - but he could be an incredibly rewarding one. Chase is currently in China, and available to fly to you in the coming months. Please send us an email for more information on Chase and our adoption process.

Age: 1 year old / Border Collie X Retriever / Spayed Female / 60 lbs HOUSEHOLD REQUIREMENTS KIDS: No young children. Cherry is looking for an adult-only home where she can feel safe and secure. Kids 16+ would be considered OTHER DOGS: Cherry may be able to coexist with a well-matched, calm dog in her future, but she would likely thrive as the only pet in the home until she works on her socialization skills more. CATS: No ENVIRONMENT: A detached home is preferred as she can be vocal. Cherry would benefit from a quiet, predictable environment with minimal household traffic and noise. TRAINING & COMMITMENT SEPARATION ANXIETY SUPPORT: Cherry forms strong attachments to her people and can become distressed when separated from them. She will need adopters who can gradually teach her comfort and independence through a consistent routine and positive reinforcement. CONFIDENCE BUILDING: While Cherry has made incredible progress, she can still be sensitive in new situations. Her future family should be prepared to help her navigate unfamiliar experiences at her own pace. SOCIALIZATION: Cherry will benefit from continued positive exposure to new people, environments, and experiences to help maintain and build her confidence. DOG ENCOUNTERS: Cherry can be reactive when she sees other dogs in the shelter environment, likely due to the stress and arousal that comes with kennel life. Outside of the shelter, she has shown much more relaxed behavior on walks and has successfully walked alongside a well-matched male dog. Her adopters should continue supporting her with positive, controlled dog interactions. ABOUT CHERRY Cherry's story is one of resilience, healing, and remarkable growth. When Cherry arrived as a stray, it was clear she had endured a difficult start to life. She came into our care suffering from severe mange, with significant fur loss, numerous scars and scrapes, and an overwhelming fear of people. She was so frightened that she would urinate when approached, and during outdoor time she often chose to hide in bushes rather than engage with the world around her. Through patience, kindness, and time, she has blossomed into a loving companion who actively seeks affection from the people she trusts. She eagerly asks for pets, enjoys spending time with her favourite people, and greets them with genuine enthusiasm. Cherry forms deep bonds with her people and loves being close to them. During a recent foster stay, she became especially attached to her foster mom and would become stressed when she left the house, even when her foster dad remained home. Because of this, her future family should be prepared to continue working on her confidence and independence when left alone. Dogs like Cherry are often overlooked because they need a little extra patience and understanding. But for the right family, Cherry will be an incredibly devoted companion and a reminder every day of just how resilient a dog can be. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO APPLY?

Hi hoomans! My name is Taino. And yes, I may be a tiny guy, but I have a BIG personality! Here’s a little bit about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Border Collie Jindo Mix Age: approx 4 years Gender: Male  Weight: 14.3 lbs (6.5 kg)  Height: 43 cm (paws to top of my head) Length: 60 cm (head to butt) Current Location: S. KOREA  RESCUE STORY - I was living at the Gimje Shelter, where the conditions were very harsh due to the freezing winter and the risk of infectious diseases. To ensure I didn't have to face that harsh winter alone, some kind hoomans stepped in for an emergency rescue and busted me outta there! Now I am just waiting for my next adventure, awaiting my new furrever family.  October 2026 update: As of October 22nd, I am officially a Canadian boy! Stay tuned for updates on how I'm adjusting to my new Vancouver Island life! TEMPERAMENT – Im a friendly, affectionate boy who has no problem saying hello to new people! I’ll happily show interest in strangers, although if you reach out to pet me right away, I might suddenly decide, “Hmm... perhaps we should get to know each other first.”  I’m friendly, but I also believe in personal space and boundaries. Sometimes I like to hang out by myself and enjoy some quiet kennel time. I’m basically the kind of guy who loves you very much but occasionally needs to put himself on “Do Not Disturb.”  When I’m feeling playful, though? Game on! I love my stuffed toys and enjoy asking my foster to play with me. Morning time and post-walk zoomies are when my energy really comes out! I can sometimes get a little overwhelmed when other dogs come at me too quickly or aggressively. I may bark and say, “Excuse me, personal space please!”.  With calmer introductions and some patience, I do well with dogs I’m comfortable with. Overall, I’m a sweet, social, playful little guy who enjoys both fun time AND me time. If you’re looking for a companion who will happily hang out with you but doesn’t need to be glued to your hip 24/7, I might just be your guy! ENERGY LEVEL – Medium; I tend to have more energy in the morning and after my walks. I love playing with stuffed toys and asking my foster to play with me. GETS ALONG WITH: • Kids – Unknown. [Haven’t met children before so unsure how I will react]• Dogs –  I get along well with dogs I’m comfortable with and love playing with my doggy friends, but I can get a little overwhelmed if another dog comes at me too aggressively. I may bark defensively or avoid unfamiliar dogs, so calm introductions and giving me a little space to warm up are important!  You can find me with my doggo friend here :)• Cats – Unknown. [Haven’t met cats before so unsure how I will react] PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around squirrels/rabbits etc., so my adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. TRAINING: •  Leash skills – Work in progress. I’m still working on my leash manners and can get a little overstimulated when I see other dogs, which may lead to some barking. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, I’m learning to be the best little walking buddy I can be! A well-fitted harness and gentle, consistent leash training will help set me up for success! You can find me on a stroll here :)•  House trained – Work in progress. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home :) Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.  HEALTH NOTES: I am spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records. Because heartworm is so common in Korea, rescue dogs from Korea are frequently testing positive at one point and require treatment. I did test Heartworm positive and underwent treatment (finished in July 2026). It is not uncommon to remain heartworm positive months after treatment. It is recommended that I be retested in November 2026. NOTE: It is not uncommon for rescue dogs to require dental work/cleaning after they are adopted. West Coast Paws does not cover the costs of dental work and/or vet visits. These costs are the financial responsibility of the adopter. ADOPTION FEE:  My adoption fee is $840 ($750.00 CAD + applicable taxes) which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver. ------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Please visit wcpdogrescue.com to read about West Coast Paws Dog Rescue and its adoption process. The info included in each WCP bio is provided to us from the international rescuer. WCP does not have in-person access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions, although we ask for video proof of a dog's attributes wherever possible.

Hi there. I'm SUGARPIE (Simba) and here is some info about me:Breed: Border Collie mixAge: 3 1/2 yrsGender: FemaleWeight: Approx 26 kgCountry of origin: Middle EastHighlights: social, active, sweet, playful I am a social butterfly and as my name suggests, a real sugarpie.About 3+ years ago, on a cold autumn day, my rescuer found what she dsescribes as a soft, beautiful black “doll” outside her house. I looked at her with my lovely brown eyes, and she instantly fell in love with me — I hope you believe in love at first sight!When she tried to pet me, I wet myself out of fear. It was quickly realized that some cruel people must have hurt this "sweet black angel with her pretty brown paws." My rescuer comforted me. Slowly I began to trust her. We became friends quickly thereafter.I am very smart — the first time my rescuer reached out her hand, I gently gave her my paw.I am very social with other dogs, especially puppies. I love making friends and quickly bond with children. Because I was mistreated when I was young, if someone suddenly throws something towards me, I may bark intensely. But as soon as I realize the person means no harm and loves on me, I do everything to win their heart. Now kitties on the other hand. Not so fond of them.I also adores plush toys (“dolls”) and am very gentle with them. I love treats. So much so, that I have learned to count. You heard that right. My rescuer tested me with five pieces of food, given daily. One day she gave meonly three pieces first — I took them to my eating spot and came back, waiting for the other two pieces to be given as well. How's that for having the brains in the family.I get along great with other dogs and love playing. I am also quite good with kids.My energies depend on the day. When the day is sunny and warm, I am calmer, but on snowy or rainy days, I am full of energy and joy — like a little bomb of happiness. I'm sure I will love Canada's weather. Overall, I am an active, energetic dog. Hoping you like to get out for fun. I'll be right beside you.Are you ready to make a life of joy between us? Awaiting your arms around me. I can hardly wait to hear you sing: Sugarpie, honeybunch you know I love you... can't help myself, I love you and nobody else...  Additional vids: https://youtube.com/shorts/XcUe1xkHN9c?feature=share,  https://youtu.be/fp4YrcXT7Cg, https://youtu.be/UPWLj6BsU2w,  https://youtu.be/2hzQn8oQGK0, https://youtube.com/shorts/Ju-u50grlCI,  https://youtube.com/shorts/Nrv1zHXyI5M?feature=share,  https://youtube.com/shorts/Ju-u50grlCI,  https://youtube.com/shorts/cQmPnWnpEtw?feature=share,  https://youtube.com/shorts/s9eckaDZkxg Dec 2025 vids: https://youtube.com/shorts/Nhl03_bgvug?feature=share,  https://youtube.com/shorts/QBUsHXcLD-M?feature=share Oct 2025: https://youtube.com/shorts/LmhDLbsHsnk Other videos: https://youtube.com/shorts/beBH2Hr6Ayw, https://youtube.com/shorts/DEmGzOua580, https://youtu.be/5AqegzlcfYk.

Health notes:I have been spayed/neutered & vaccinated and will be microchipped before arrival.My adoption fee is $750.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. While our rescuers always seek a flight without a charge, there is the possibility of a passenger fee, not to exceed $300. 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. ##2520328##
