Story
Meet Denny — The Sweetest Golden Retriever Looking for His Forever Family!   Name: Denny Age: 4 years Sex: Neutered Male Breed: Golden Retriever Color: Gold Weight: 31 kg Height: 66 cm (shoulder height)   Rescue Story Denny was rescued in February 2025 after being placed on the euthanasia list at a city shelter. He stayed at a private shelter for several months and moved to his foster home in June. Since then, he has blossomed into the most affectionate, people-loving Golden boy.   ‍‍‍ Socialization with People Denny is an incredibly affectionate dog who loves everyone — familiar people and strangers alike. • He leans in for pets, rubs against people, and loves belly rubs. • He is excellent with children under 13 and is comfortable being lifted or handled gently. • Even with new people, he often rolls over to show his belly. • He enjoys being near people during downtime, though he prefers sleeping alone. • He can be very enthusiastic — sometimes running in for hugs or kisses, which can surprise those not used to big friendly dogs! • No issues with baths, paw cleaning, or handling. He tolerates teeth brushing but isn’t a fan.   Socialization with Dogs Denny is friendly and polite with other dogs. • He approaches both familiar and unfamiliar dogs to greet and play. • He matches well with medium to large dogs and enjoys playful interactions.   With Cats • He watches cats with curiosity outdoors, but when guided by his handler, he follows direction well and continues walking. (He may be suitable for a cat home with proper introductions.)   Energy Level • At first glance he seems high-energy, but his stamina is moderate. • After 3–4 hours of outdoor activity, he often falls asleep as soon as he gets in the car. • During play with dog friends, he starts energetic but will bark to set boundaries when he becomes tired or overstimulated.   ‍ Walks & Outdoor Behavior Denny is a joy to walk. • He has plenty of leash experience and doesn’t pull. • He loves sniffing and will naturally slow down or stop to explore scents. • He becomes excited when he sees the leash — may jump or mouth the leash — so calming him before leaving the house is important. • He loves balls and toys; he can even find hidden balls in grass and often brings home any he discovers during walks!   Other Behaviors • No resource guarding toward people or dogs. • Rarely barks. • Calm in a crate and knows how to get in/out of the car by himself. • Sometimes refuses to get in the car after walks because he wants to stay outside longer. • Mostly potty-trained outdoors. • If he has stomach discomfort early in the morning, he will wake his person up to go outside — letting him out promptly helps prevent indoor accidents. • Occasionally gets soft stool after eating too many treats.   Denny Is Looking For… A family who loves Golden Retrievers’ affectionate, goofy, people-loving personality. Someone who enjoys outdoor activities, understands his excitement around walks, and can provide structure, companionship, and lots of love.   If you think Denny could be the perfect match for you, please submit an adoption application!

Story
Woof! I'm ARABELA (Bella), a sweetly reserved girl with a gentle soul.Before we dive into my story, here are the essentials you need to know about the girl behind the charm:Breed:Golden Retriever/Labrador mix (Austrian Pinscher/Lab),one breed not listed in this database.Age: 2-1/2 yrsGender: FemaleWeight: 44 lbsHeight: 24 inchesOrigin: Republic of GeorgiaHighlights: Friendly, sweet, loyal, quiet, and playful with trusted friends. My rescue began in a forest outside a major city in Georgia alongside my dear friend, Kaylor (also posted). We discovered we are actually half-sisters! I stayed glued to Kaylor’s side for protection. Due to instability for rescue teams, I have an urgent need to reach a safe, forever home as soon as possible. After being treated for malnutrition and receiving basic care, we began thriving.We are available for adoption together or individually. While I am more active than Kaylor, I am still timid and cautious in new situations or around big, boisterous dogs.I tend to sit on the sidelines at the refuge. I am playful with Kaylor and with small or older, non-intimidating dogs.*Note: I may occasionally nip at a smaller dog when over-excited, so close supervision is needed.* A funny habit: I pull the stuffing out of dog beds!This is likely a reaction to the shelter environment, and I imagine it will disappear in a relaxed, comfortable home of my own. I’m still a playful puppy at heart, though my journey has taught me to be cautious. I'm looking for a loyal family who understands that the best bonds take time. I hardly ever bark.

Leash work in progressLeash skills: I am currently learning my leash skills, so please be prepared to continue this training.House trained: Yes. I am house-trained (though I’ll need a quick reminder in my new home). Health notes:I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.Our adoption fee together is $1350 CAD, plus applicable taxes. My adoption fee alone is $800.00 CAD. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver. 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. 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. [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 receive 4D SNAP tests - which include: Heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmania and Anaplasmosis. ##2093407##

Story
Pst! Over here. I'm KAYLOR (Taylor), a quiet observer and gentle soul who promises the sweetest wiggles once trust is earned.Here are the essentials you need to know about this gentle soul:Breed: Lab/Golden Retriever mix (Austrian Pinscher/Russo-European Laika)Age: 4 yrsGender: FemaleWeight: 56 lbsHeight: 22 inchesCountry of origin: Republic of GeorgiaHighlights: Gentle, quiet, sweet, loyal, and ready for true peace. I’m a sweet girl ready for the comfort of a forever home.Though the classic golden coat wasn't won, the loyal Retriever spirit is carried deep within.Due to instability for rescue teams, I have an urgent need to reach a safe, forever home as soon as possible. My rescue began in a forest in Georgia where I was wild with pain from a severe injury.My tail was severed, and some of my teeth broke during the struggle to avoid capture. I was not alone; my bonded half-sister, Arabela (also posted), was by my side.We are available for adoption together, as our tight bond provides us both with comfort. I am quiet, passive, and wary of unfamiliar faces and dominant dogs.My sister and I tend to sit on the sidelines at the refuge. Trust is essential; once earned, gentle encouragement is all I need to move around the house.I now confidently allow interaction with my rescuers without running away. I am a fairly low-maintenance companion who does not demand long walks.I thrive best with a non-dominant dog who won't push me around. I have completely adjusted to life without a tail.My little stump wiggles with pure joy whenever I’m happy, showing that I am ready to give deep loyalty to the patient family who chooses me.

Story
Meet Ziggy, a 4-year-old Lab X. He’s a sweet, affectionate boy who’s been described as a bit of a goof ball. He loves fetch and car rides. He’s a smart boy who knows all his commands and a couple of tricks that he’d love to show you. He has tons of energy and would need an energetic family to help him burn it off. A fenced yard is a must as he loves to wander. With a proper introduction he gets along with other dogs; however, he shows some dog aggression when on lead. Please - No chickens or other small pets as he will chase them. Ziggy is neutered and his vaccines are up to date.
