Story
🐾 Meet Baloo! 🐾 Introducing Baloo, an adorable pup with a teddy bear vibe, searching for his forever home. This affectionate, sensitive soul adores people and eagerly wants to become your best friend. Baloo's favorite activities include cuddling on the couch, exploring outdoors, and playing with his plush toys and enrichment puzzles. He's also quite the athlete, enjoying runs in the yard and playful wrestling with his sister, Winnie. He is also excellent with kids. Baloo is a food lover, making training sessions particularly effective. He's always eager to earn a treat! He's progressing excellently with his crate and potty training and shows promise as a well-mannered companion. While Baloo has yet to meet cats, he's shown to be adaptable and friendly, so a proper introduction could likely be easily managed. Baloo's new family should be ready to continue his journey in training and socialization. He thrives on companionship, displaying separation anxiety when alone but doing well with someone in the room, indicating his deep bond with his family. Due to his Velcro-dog nature, he loves staying close by; whether working at your desk or cooking in the kitchen, Baloo will be your shadow, offering calm companionship outside his crate. Though not yet fully vaccinated and thus limited in outdoor adventures, Baloo already shows he's made for a life filled with activity. A yard to call his own would be Baloo's paradise, providing him the space to flourish. He may be a bit shy on the leash and needs further encouragement to gain confidence, but with his sensitivity and eagerness to please, he's a quick study. Baloo is at his best with his family, seeking out cuddles or lounging contentedly nearby. He'll even offer a gentle head in your lap or a paw on your shoulder to show love. This pup's ideal life is one where he can balance his two favorite things, adventure, and relaxation, always in the company of his beloved humans. If a sweet, loyal companion with loads of love to offer sounds perfect for you, and you're ready for a rewarding journey of growth and bonding, Baloo is ready to fill that role. Prepare for an affection-filled life—Baloo will shower you with kisses and loyal companionship, ready to be the loving heartbeat of your home. 🐾 Application link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/65f266808b00ab8e67042313 Please email Tim@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.

Story
Hi there. My name is ORRIO (Oreo) and here is a bit of info about me:Breed: Border Collie / Labrador mixAge: 3 yrsGender: femaleWeight: 38 lbsHeight: tbd Left in the freezing cold in Lebanon to fend for themselves at a young age, I was found on the streets roaming around and looking for food in the garbage. Me and my best friend Ollio were constantly harassed by passerbys. We were threatened with being shot, if not removed. Thankfully, a rescuer came through for us. I was pregnant when found and since had 4 adorable puppies (they will be up for adoption later.) I was transferred to a boarding shelter until a home was found.  You will notice I am the calm, bright-eyed one. Very loyal and clever is this girl. I certainly enjoy snuggling, a real cuddle bug they call me. While I'd love to find a home with my pal Ollio, it is not a requirement. Energy Level: moderate I get along with:Dogs: yesCats:  noKids: no Prey drive: fairly high. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: none observed. Training: a bitLeash skills: Some. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained:  No. Please be prepared to help me learn! Health notes: no health issues.I am spayed/neutered, vaccinated & microchipped. My adoption fee is $750.00. The adoption fee for me and my buddy Ollio together is $1000. 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. 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. ##1374363##

My name is Jelly Bean, but you can call me by my nickname, Jiji. Here is a little info about me:Breed: Border Collie/Husky mixAge: 4 YearsGender: maleWeight: 21 kg Height: 77 cmHighlight(s): gentle, kind, both active & calm Hi all, Jelly Bean here. I am a pretty unique looking boy as I have one brown eye and one blue eye. I was found seconds before being killed by mean people in a village in the Middle East. I don't know what I had done, but all I know is that people didn't like me to be around them.  Thanks to my amazing rescuers who believe in my gentle manner and kind soul. They are the reason why I got the second chance in life. I am looking for my forever home in Canada so I can experience the life I have always deserved.  I would love to have a relaxing home, where we can get out for hikes, yet chill like cucumbers at home too. I think we could build a lovely rapport without even talking. Just look into my eyes and you'll know my depth of love for you. Energy Level: moderate  I get along with:Dogs: yes, but selectiveCats: unsureKids: Yes! Check out my photos :) Fears: unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training: NoneLeash skills: Yes. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: Not really. Please help me learn. I have been really good learning things! Health notes: I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.  My adoption fee is $700 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

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.

Story
UPDATE: I am now in Canada and all ready to go to my forever home! I have been with a nice family, but then they had more family members move in and so the home became a bit small for all the humans and two dogs. My new foster says the same things about me that my past foster said - I am quiet and relaxed at home, I love the outdoors and dog parks and I'm a good leash walker. One of my biggest qualties is that I'm loyal. I will go to the window when my foster mom leaves and I'll watch her as she goes. I'll also hear her call when she returns and my tail starts to wag as I stand at the window and watch her return.  I am highly intelligent, 100% housetrained, and able to understand several commands including sit, heel, out, bed, stay. I also am known for really wanting to please my humans, although I am still feeling a bit nervous around some strangers, particularly men, when we're out walking. Given what I have learned so far in such a short time, I'm sure that I will learn to relax and trust humans who I don't know. While I like socializing with other dogs, at home I prefer being the only dog in a family. I can accept another dog being there but I'm not interested in a relationship with him/her, only with my humans. Also, given that I have a fairly sensitive personality which can cause me to feel nervous at times, I am not a good match for a home with kids and perhaps not a cat. Hi there, my name is GIGGLY and here is some info about me:Breed: Saluki/Border Collie mixAge: 2-1/2 yearsGender: maleWeight: 18 kgHeight: 50 cm Tossed out of a moving car in the Middle East when I was only two months old, a good Samaritan called the shelter and told the owner to go and find me in the bushes on the freeway. They literally had to go and search around where I was tossed to find me.  I am a very affectionate and happy dog with the humans to whom I'm close. I don't care much about connecting with other dogs - I can have a visit at the dog park and then be happy to go home with my human.  The staff named me Giggly. I always make everyone laugh, because I have so much energy and I do the funniest things at the shelter. Because I am in a shelter environment, there is no way to know about cats, but because of my high energy levels, the staff doesn’t think it would be a good idea for me to be around cats, as I might chase them. That is merely a guess though. Energy Level: moderate Get along with:Dogs, yesCats, unknown, though recommendation is noKids, no Prey drive: yes, with squirrels, rabbits, etc...  Fears: I am still fairly fearful of strangers when out on walks, particularly men. My response is to move away from them rather than to confront. Training: basic, but very eager to learn more & loves praise as he learns new thingsLeash skills: learning very quickly, accepts leash easily, learning heelHouse trained: yes Health notes:I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD + applicable taxes.  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.

Story
Hello there, my name is Maxwell. Sounds distinguished, doesn't it? Here are some facts about me:Breed: Border Collie/Lab mixAge: 3 years oldGender: maleWeight: 50 lbsHighlights: rather laid back, enthusiastic, playful, cuddly Skills: I am housetrained but I don't get much practice walking on a leash as I currently live on a farm where I have a lot of space to run around. I have a moderate energy level. I'm actually a fairly laid back kind of guy - I love to run and play outside and then come inside for a nice cuddle. I LOVE car rides and I love my food. This can make me responsive to treat rewards for learning new stuff but it also means that I like dining on my own so I can make sure that I don't miss out on any of my delicious food. Don't get me wrong, I do like to have other dogs to play with but perhaps not little dogs. For whatever reason, I'm wary of them but I love hanging out with dogs my own size or bigger. Please, I don't socialize with the feline types and I am a bit too rambunctious to make me a good companion for kids. My foster says I'm a great sleeper and then, when I wake up, I'm eager to get my day going. I would really love a big fenced yard and some loving humans to adopt me and then we can go on a whole bunch of exciting car trips. Would you like to join me! Health: I have been immunized, microchipped, and neutered. My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes.

THIS IS A COURTESY POST. PLEASE CONTACT THE PERSON OR GROUP LISTED BELOW. THIS IS NOT A LOVED AT LAST DOG.   Please contact Shane at shanekeepence@gmail.com  for more information or to adopt. Hi everyone, I am the intelligent Ollie and here's some info about me: Age: 8Breed: Border CollieWeight: 18 kgHeight: 24.5 inchesMale (neutered) Like most Border Collies,  I like playing catch, any agility type activities, rolling around in the grass, and appreciate having my own space at home. I usually prefer to initiate greetings with people myself. When new people approach me suddenly, I get a bit of a fright, but I'll be affectionate once you get to know me. Sometimes I guard my food and can react towards some dogs when walking on leash, so I would need a little help and patience while I learn to trust other people and dogs. I have nipped at someone in the past and had a near miss with an attempted bite recently as I guarded my food. Since I am a border collie, I pride myself in learning fast and I do even better when I receive praise. A trainer has already helped me with introductions to new people and I no longer feel I have to guard my food as much as I have in the past, staying calm when adults walk by when I'm eating. Unpredictable behaviour however still gets to me, so I would not be suitable for a household with children. An adoption fee of $100 applies. THIS IS A COURTESY POST.

Story
**Currently fostered in Abbotsford, BC, and available for adoption across Canada, Oregon, Utah, Idaho, and Washington!** 🐾 Meet Oreo! 🐾 Oreo is an energetic and sociable pup who's just as friendly as he is playful. He thrives on interaction, whether it's with people or other animals, making him the perfect companion for a full-of-life household. As a true "Velcro dog," he loves being indoors close to his family, and he would be delighted to share his home with another dog or even a cat. Oreo's intelligence shines through in everything he does. He's excellent on a leash, responsive to recall commands, and highly motivated by food, making his training sessions fun and productive. Despite his enthusiasm, he has a submissive and gentle nature with people and other dogs. He is often found lying on his back, eagerly waiting for belly rubs. Playtime is Oreo's favorite time! He loves playing fetch and tug-of-war, and he even learned how to swim this summer, retrieving toys from deep water. He's ready to join you on all your aquatic adventures when the weather warms up. Oreo knows various commands, both verbal and hand signals, and he's generally good with recall—though he can get distracted when other fun playmates are around. Living harmoniously with a cat, he shows no prey drive, though he's always up for a playful chase. When it comes to toys, only the sturdiest will do for this active boy. He also enjoys puzzle toys, Kongs, and other enrichment activities to keep his sharp mind engaged. Comfortable in his crate, Oreo shows no separation anxiety, though he appreciates having company at home for part of the day. Given his love for running and playing, a home with a fenced yard would be ideal for Oreo, providing him space to expend energy. He manages some skin allergies with a special diet of fish-based kibble and treats, and he's even got a taste for human snacks like raw veggies and coconut whipped cream. Remember that Oreo is quite a fashionista! He enjoys sporting bandanas and wears coats to keep cozy during rainy or cold weather. If you're looking for a loving, playful, and intelligent companion ready to add joy and adventure to your life, Oreo is your perfect match! Meet him, and let the fun begin! 🐾❤️ Application link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6570c78c0e1bab335b044a70 Please email jacquelynn@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions. Available for adoption in NV, MT, CO,UT, ID, OR, WA, Canada, and now the East Coast! Our PNW dogs are brought to you in style by a beautiful USDA licensed semi-truck, equipped with air conditioning for comfort, two drivers, and 2 onboard attendants providing 24 hour care.

One of our Adoption Coordinators can help to find the closest transport pick up location to you! The adoption fee is $575.00 and includes all vetting as recommended by our doctor: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine (if old enough), multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, 2 months of heartworm preventative, extended medical such as dentals, eye surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries prior to adoption when suggested by our partner vets, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar for dogs over 4 months old, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and many priceless years of love and loyal companionship! *WE ARE TOLD THAT WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND MEDICALLY. This is the feedback we tend to get, although we cannot guarantee perfect health. *To fully vet a dog in the PNW at many vets it would be upwards of $1,800 just to fix, vaccinate, chip, etc. The adoption fees charged by our rescue do not cover our expenses medically for each animal, but we offset costs with donations.

We know our dogs and we work hard to prepare them socially for adoption. We are a network of dedicated people who are heavily invested in seeing our animals thrive. From the moment they are accepted into our program, our Intake, Behavior & Medical teams prepare them for adoption by properly vetting, behaviorally assessing, and providing customized plans depending on the dog’s needs. We seek to adopt to families who understand that these are rescue dogs and will require continued training efforts, but will be well on their way to being the best dogs that they can be!

Story
Ariel, the amazing cattle dog mix, is a true gem in the world of rescue animals. At just 2.5 years old, she has already experienced life in both rural and city environments, adapting effortlessly to each new situation. With a sweet and gentle disposition, Ariel has captured the hearts of all who meet her. She is a social butterfly, getting along splendidly with other dogs, cats, and children of all ages. Her charming personality shines through, bringing joy and happiness wherever she goes. Ariel's intelligence and eagerness to please make her a wonderful companion for any family. Whether exploring the great outdoors in the countryside or strolling through the bustling streets of the city, Ariel thrives in any setting. Now, this remarkable dog is ready to find her forever home. With so much love to give and a lifetime of companionship to offer, Ariel is the perfect addition to any family. Don't miss out on the opportunity to welcome this incredible canine into your life. Adopt Ariel today and experience the unconditional love and loyalty she has to offer. Ariel wants to be part of your world! She wants to see how a home looks and experience what love is. With rescue we can't guarantee age or breed but we estimate Ariel to about 2 years old, she weighs 47 lbs and is likely a pit bull mix. She is fully grown so you have found a petite pittie. One of the best things about her size is she is the perfect to-go size! Take a look at her in action then come back. to read more about Ariel. This girl enjoys the quiet life, but honestly, don’t we all! To help her feel at ease, Ariel would thrive in the company of another dog, preferably one who has a medium level of playfulness. Having a furry companion is the key to unlocking Ariel's full potential, as she tends to open up more in the presence of other dogs. In additions to a love of canine-companions, Ariel gets along famously with feline friends! Meeting our resident cat highlighted her gentle nature. While she maintained a bit of an avoidant attitude towards the cat, she was open to gentle interactions, gave respectful space and has even let the cat walk by without a fuss. With a bit of time to relax and a few treats her personality shined. We were all so excited as she started to wag her tail and come over for love. Experiencing a rescue dog unfold and fall in love with you is powerful and builds a bond like no other. While Ariel could make a wonderful addition to any family, a home with older children, 5+ who can understand her sensitivity to fast movements and loud noises would be ideal. This observation of her personality could easily change once she is in a home. Home life looks good on every dog! If you are looking for a canine companion, a bonus-buddy for your furry friend, and a calm addition to your home, Ariel is ready to be part of your world!
