Good with dogs,
Story
Hello! My name is Stanley. Here is some information about me:
Breed: Dachshund Mix
Age: 2 years old
Gender: Male
Weight: 10 lbs
Height: tbd
Meet sweet Stanley
Stanley is a tiny 10 lb dachshund mix who arrived in Canada on April 26th after being rescued from a heartbreaking abandonment situation in California alongside several other small dogs. Since arriving, Stanley has been safe in foster care and is slowly learning what it means to feel secure, cared for, and loved.
Right now, Stanley is still very much decompressing. The world feels big, unfamiliar, and sometimes scary to him. New sounds, sudden movements, and busy environments can make him nervous, and he is still building trust with people at his own pace. His foster family has been giving him the patience and gentle reassurance he needs, and while progress is slow, there are already small signs of the sweet little dog hiding underneath his fear.
Stanley currently feels safest being hand fed and is not yet comfortable eating from a food bowl on his own. He enjoys quiet spaces, soft beds, and calm, kind humans who allow him to approach on his terms. He is not a “ready-made” confident companion yet — but with time, patience, and consistency, we truly believe Stanley has the potential to blossom into a loving and devoted little dog.
Stanley is looking for a calm, quiet home with patient adopters who understand that rescue dogs sometimes need time to heal emotionally. A peaceful environment with predictable routines and gentle encouragement will help him continue gaining confidence. Another calm, friendly dog could also help show him that the world is safe.
Watching a frightened dog slowly learn to trust is incredibly rewarding, and Stanley deserves a family willing to give him that chance. Beneath those cautious eyes is a little dog who simply needs kindness, safety, and time.
If you believe in giving shy dogs the space to bloom, Stanley may be waiting for you

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 the dog is shown to be good with children we will approve homes with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
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 charged the passenger fee in addition to this.
[MID EAST DOGS] *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.
