German Shorthaired Pointer puppies and dogs in Squamish, British Columbia

Hi, my name is CARSON (aka Charlie) and here is a little info about me: Age: 5 yearsGender: maleWeight: 60lbs / 27kgHeight: 64cm / 25inHighlights: playful with other dogs, cuddly, good with all people, handsome  UPDATE: I made it to Canada. Remarkably, I am alive, as I was skin and bone and scraps all over, upon arrival. The shelter I ended up in, was overcrowded and I had to fight for every morsel to survive. So I was seriously underweight. Probably a week from dying, but LAL saved me.My current home says there is so much good about me. I am fully house trained, but don't like going out in the rain, so will hold it.I lay my head on the grand daughter's lap to/from school. Everyone who meets me loves me and I love them. I can be silly, but mostly I am just a big cuddle bug. I do bond quickly with people.The home I ended up going to has a young grandaughter, so given my food resource guarding, that is not a compatable match. Older kids who can understand the issue and effectively handle the rules of the situation would likely be fine. The home where I am at would keep me if not for a toddler age child there. She loves me. While I do get along with other dogs awesomely well, unless you are experienced with a means to separate us for food issues while I overcome this glitch, it might be best if I am the only dog, for now.Having growled and snarled a couple times and even snapped once at them to keep them from food I had gotten, has made them realize small children can't judge things well enough for my issue. BUT... I am making good progress, even after only a few weeks. I am very responsive to learning and am quite intelligent. My nervousness is calming and I am putting on good weight. I am trying to push boundaries with my new freedom, so a confidant leader is advised. I am not pulling on the leash so much now and go for daily walks. I'm good with other dogs. I just don't like the little yappy ones, but will pass by them. I do have birdiness and will creep up pointing, then leap at flappy winged creatures.Being left alone at home is not something I enjoy. I am not destructive at all. Still just a bit needy/clingy yet. But again, that neediness is subsiding drastically, as I settle in. I like going in the car with you and will patiently await your return. Best to not leave groceries with me in the car though. I will think they are mine.I just need someone understanding of my past to give me the time to learn that I will always have food and will never starve again. Please work with me on this and know, it will improve over time. I just need love meanwhile. I will be your bestest loyal boy. Original posting: Based on my breed traits, my gentle nature around humans, and my affectionate behavior, my rescuers believe I may have once been a working dog—possibly used for hunting. I was found wandering the streets with injured legs, likely discarded when I could no longer do the job I was meant for. When an animal lover gave me attention, I didn’t want to let her go and tried to get into her car. When she let me, I was so happy that I put my head on her lap the whole ride home to thank her. I’m a happy, playful boy who loves meeting new people and heading out on adventures. I bond quickly and deeply, and I’m great with humans. I get along well with other dogs and love to play, but I like to be the alpha when it comes to food—so I’d prefer not to share my meals with my four-legged pals. And cats? Not really my thing. Also, for reasons of food guarding, please, no kids younger than teens. My ideal home you ask?  I would be happy with an active family who takes me out on lots of adventures, or in a quieter home without kids. I am not very fussy!  As long as I have people to give me cuddles, I will be happy! Energy level: moderate I get along with:dogs: yescats: nokids: teens & older Prey drive: medium. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: loss of a food source. Please be patient with me through my transition. Training: Some leash training.  Leash skills still need some work. Generally happily walks alongside human handlers, can become stressed and may refuse to walk when he feels pressure from collar/harness. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: No. Please be prepared to help! Health notes: I have a limp in my right hind leg. My rescuers don’t know what caused it, but according to the vet, there is an old break that healed incorrectly on it's own. No intervention or treatment is necessary or recommended now. I will be able to have a normal life despite my limp. Sometimes I prefer not to use my leg, but when I run and play I do use it. My rescuer can provide X-Rays.I have been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is $750.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

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 problematic 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. 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. 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. ##1482083##

Hi there. My name is BENEKLI and here is a bit about me:Breed: Pointer mixAge: 9 yrsGender: FemaleWeight: 30 kgCountry of origin: TurkeyHighlights: Friendly, Gentle, Loving, Social, Playful Friendly and ready to giv'er in Canada. That is my new motto. Let's have a blast, okay?Times of my life were marked by living in a children's park together with a few other dogs. I  spent time with children and families in the park and loved being around people. After the animal collection law came into effect, I was taken to a shelter. It isn't known how I lost it, but I only have one eye. I could not protect myself and had difficulty eating among the other dogs. I stayed in the shelter for two months and amazingly survived. Now I am living in a dog boarding facility in a cage (yes, you heard that right) and would really like to spread my wings to freedom.In the area where I used to live, there were cats and I had no problems with them. I am fine with other dogs, of course. Not to worry, not having one eye doesn't slow me down at all. I can still romp and play just like everyone else.My ideal home would be one that has a yard, but not a requirement if we can get out for fun times. If my new home allows for yard access, even better.You'll find me to be a bit of a socialite. I enjoy whooping it up with friends. Hard to believe I am a senior, eh? I am gentle & loving though and would enjoy a bit of quiet snuggling moments too.I'd love to spend my golden years in your arms as a Canadian puptizen. Are you ready for me? Videos coming soon. Energy Level: ModerateI get along with:Dogs: YesCats: unknown, likely yesKids: unknown (rescuer states yes, but no video proof) Fears: None observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training:Leash skills: Some. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: In progress. Please continue to help me learn! Health Notes: Missing one eye.I have been spayed/neutered & vaccinated. I will be microchipped soon.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.
