Hello!  My name is Rupert.  Here is some information about me: Breed: Dachshund Mix Age: 4 years old Gender: Male Weight: 13 lbs Height: 11 inches Meet Rupert – A Little Dachshund mix Learning to Trust Again Hi everyone! My name is Rupert, and I'm a 4-year-old Dachshund mix with a big heart that's still learning how to be brave. My journey hasn't been an easy one. I was rescued from California earlier this year, along with my brother Stanley. We had always known life with other dogs, and Stanley was definitely the braver of the two of us. When I arrived in Canada, everything was new and a little overwhelming. I spent some time with a wonderful foster family before being adopted, but unfortunately, I struggled to settle into my new home. After a frightening adventure on my own, I returned to my foster family, where I've been slowly finding my confidence again. And guess what? I'm making progress! I love going for walks, and I'm actually quite comfortable exploring the world outside. It's inside the house where I sometimes get nervous, especially when people move around unexpectedly. I'm learning that I don't have to run away and that the people around me can be trusted. I've started seeking out affection, curling up near my foster family on the couch, and even giving the occasional little tail wag! I've also discovered that if dinner is late, walking across my foster mom's computer keyboard is a pretty effective way to remind her! I'm not much of a toy-playing kind of guy yet, but I'm hoping that as my confidence grows, more of my personality will shine through. So, what kind of forever home am I dreaming of? I'd love a quiet, adult-only home with a gentle, patient person who understands that trust takes time. A single woman might be an especially wonderful match for me, as I tend to feel more comfortable around women, but a calm, understanding couple could be lovely too. I'd be happiest with someone who has experience with shy or fearful rescue dogs, enjoys daily walks, and doesn't expect me to be an instant cuddle bug. Someone living in the Lower Mainland would be best so we could do several meet and greets so we can get to know one another. I need someone who will let me come to them rather than picking me up or pushing me into situations before I'm ready. Someone who celebrates the little victories, like a tail wag, a cuddle I initiate, or the day I decide not to run away when they enter the room. I'm comfortable around other dogs, although I don't necessarily seek out their companionship. I could potentially live with a calm, respectful canine friend or be perfectly happy as your one and only. Because I can become frightened and try to escape, a secure home and someone committed to keeping me safe are especially important. Most of all, I need someone who won't give up on me just because I need extra time. I may never be the most outgoing Dachshund on the block, but I have so much love and companionship to offer someone willing to meet me where I am. I'm not looking for someone to rescue me again. I'm looking for someone who will help me finally feel safe enough to be myself. Love, Rupert I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unknown Kids: yes (no video proof) Energy Level: low Fears/Prey Drive: noisy vehicles/no prey drive Training: yes. Be prepared to continue my training in my new home. Leash Skills:  Excellent. No reactivity to dogs or any other animals. Housetrained: Yes 100%.  Please assist me in learning where to go in my new home. Health: I am up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and am neutered. Recent dental cleaning done as well. My adoption fee is $850 CAD plus 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. 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. ##2718074##

Meet Cordelia! Breed: Dachshund mixAge: 6 yearsGender: Female    Weight: 14 lb  Height: 11 inchesHighlight(s): Friendly, calm and affectionate Hi, I’m Cordelia! I was found wandering the streets while pregnant, and I gave birth to four beautiful puppies at the shelter. Thankfully, kind people came to our rescue, and now I’m dreaming of a forever home of my own. I’m a gentle, mellow girl who may be a little shy at first. Give me some patience, gentle affection, and tasty treats, and I’ll slowly open my heart to you. Once I feel safe, I’ll happily show you my belly! My love is quiet and comforting rather than loud or energetic. I get along well with other dogs and prefer peacefully sharing space over playing. I’m more comfortable with dogs around my size, and if another dog bothers me, I’d rather walk away than make a fuss. I haven’t met cats yet. I’m a low-energy girl who loves relaxing, resting, and soaking up the sunshine. But take me out for a walk, and you’ll see my cheerful side shine! I may pull a little on the leash, but I’m generally good at following my handler. I rarely bark, have no escape tendencies or resource-guarding issues, and haven’t shown separation anxiety. I’m still learning my housetraining, and I may whine when crated, so I’ll need a little patience as I settle into my new home. After everything I’ve been through, I’m ready for a peaceful life filled with sunshine, gentle cuddles, and someone who loves my quiet, tender nature. If you’re looking for a sweet companion to share life’s simple pleasures, I might just be your girl. get along with:Dogs: yesCats: noKids: unkonwn Energy Level: Low, I usually stay calm and love resting. I love sunbathing too.  Fears: Non observed . Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Leash skills: Pulls the leash a bit but fairly good at following his handler. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: Not yet. Please assist me in learning where to go in my new home.

My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

Meet Flerp! 🤎 With his short legs, soulful eyes, and a little independent spirit, this approximately 2-year-old, 15 lb Dachshund mix has plenty of personality packed into a small body! Known as Flerpy or Flerp Flop, he bonds closely with his people and becomes a total love bug once he feels comfortable. Cuddles, belly rubs, and peanut butter are a few of his favourite things. Rain and cold weather? He'd happily pass! Flerp is smart and eager to learn, but he can be reserved with unfamiliar people and has his own opinions about things. He'll benefit from a patient family who respects his space while providing a consistent routine, gentle guidance, and continued positive training. He enjoys his walks and walks nicely when other dogs aren't nearby. Seeing dogs can bring out a bigger reaction, so he'll need ongoing support to build confidence and learn calmer responses. We feel a quiet, adult-only home where he can be the only pet would suit him best. With his interest in chasing cats, a cat-free home is recommended. At home, Flerp enjoys a couple of walks and some play before settling in for a snooze near his people. He's doing well with housetraining when taken out regularly and asks to go outside. Crate training and feeling comfortable alone are still works in progress; he may cry initially before settling. His sweetest little habit? Putting himself to bed in his cozy spot under his fosters' bed while they brush their teeth. 🥹 Flerp is looking for someone who will appreciate both his affectionate side and his independent streak, and continue helping him feel secure. With time, understanding, and support, this little guy has so much love to share.
