Hi, I'm Clementine. Here is some info you need to know about me:    Age: 9 months  Gender: Female  Breed: Golden Retriever Mix  Weight: 18 kg  Height: 50 cm  Highlights: playful, curious, cuddly, loyal, engaging People say I’m a brave little pup—and I guess they’re right. I’ve been through more than most dogs my age. I was born in a city in the Middle East where life was really hard. I lost my ears and tail, and sometimes I still get scared around men or when I see long sticks or poles. But even with all that, I’m still full of love, hope, and tail wags (well… if I still had a tail, it would be wagging nonstop!).  I love being around people—especially kids—and I get along great with other dogs. I haven’t met any cats yet, but when I see them in the streets, I tend to chase them. Would be best if I go to a home without kitties.. I’m playful, curious, and I absolutely love going for walks. I’m really good on a leash!  I’m also super adaptable. I don’t mind where I sleep, as long as I know I’m safe. I can be a little nervous sometimes, but with gentle love and patience, I open up quickly. I’m really just looking for someone who sees the good in me and wants to help me feel safe and happy forever.  Right now, I’m dreaming of a home in Vancouver, where I can run, play, cuddle, and finally just be a dog—without fear. I promise to be your loyal, loving friend through it all.  Will you be my forever person?  I’m ready when you are. Energy level: high gets along with:    Other dogs: yesKids: yes   Cats: no Prey drive: none observed, however, my adopter needs to be willing to train me should these behaviors arise Fears: none observed, however, I will need patience to get used to my new environment. Training: some.  Leash trained: yes   House trained: no, I will need patient training health notes: I have been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Most passengers from the Middle East now require a fee to accompany a dog on a flight. Due to this, if a rescuer finds a flight with this requirement, we will contact you to see if you are willing to pay the passenger. You are under no obligation to do this. If not, another flight will need to be searched for, though there is no guarantee a free or lower cost one will be found. Though oft times a passenger is requesting higher amounts, the fee will not exceed $250. Our rescuers work extremely hard finding flights and spend tremendous amounts of money caring for and sending these dogs to safety. They simply haven't the extra money to cover this. Thank you for your understanding.

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. 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. 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. [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. ##2375116##

Meet Mac, a gentle giant in search of the right home. Mac is calm and relaxed inside the home, but gets reactive (barking and pulling) when he sees other dogs on walks. He is friendly, just doesn’t always understand dog body language, and can become overly excited. He’s a rescue from Istanbul and used to be a street dog, so he doesn’t have any recall and will bolt if off-leash, so a secure yard or on-leash lifestyle is best. Mac is happy to lounge all day, but also enjoys a good walk or run. He has a strong prey drive, so he would do best in a home without cats or other small animals. He’s a big sweetheart who would thrive with a patient person, couple, or family who can offer him the structure and love he deserves.

My name is FELIZ and here is a little info about me:Breed: Golden Retriever/Labrador Retriever/German Shepard mixAge: 4 yrsGender: maleWeight: 44 lbsCountry of origin: MexicoHighlight(s): obedient, mellow, eager to please, loyal, loving, intelligent, & playful Ta-daaaah. Here I am, the stupendous, the wonderful, the amazing... Feliz, the great. Did I put that on a little too thick? It's true though. Keep reading, you'll see. Why Feliz, you ask? Because I am always a smiling, happy boy. Feliz means happy in Spanish.My rescuer was vacationing in Guatamala during the Summer of 2024. I followed her around the city for a few days. Every morning she awoke, I’d be patiently waiting for her outside the Airbnb. One afternoon, I thought I’d lost her and let out such a heartbreaking cry that she decided then and there she was going to help me find the family and love I deserve. So she brought me to Mexico with her.I am an eager to please and learn type guy. Hence, my rescuer sent me to a training programs. I have learned all kinds of nice obedience manners and have basic commands down pat. With my training, I heel perfectly. I'm sure we can go on hikes on the trails or runs on the beach, as my preference is open areas to run and explore.I show my relaxed exterior when in the house. Generally quiet in the house, you'll usually find me hanging out sleeping or chewing on a bone. No bad habits like chewing on shoes, furniture, etc... for me.That doesn't mean I don't like getting out for play and fun times though. I like to play & wrestle for 15-20 min, then happy to go take a nap again.I love my rescuer's dog. Since I am still playful and have a bit of separation anxiety yet, having another dog around would be helpful for me. Likely either a dominant, but also calm and patient dog or a completely submissive one would work best.When on leash only in the city craziness and walking with my rescuer's dog, I can be a little reactive. When alone though, I do very well, especially in the quieter countryside. At a dog park loose, no problems at all. The city life seems to over-stimulate my senses, so I'd do much better in a more peaceful environment outside the city, a quiet suburb or acreage. Strangely enough though, I am used to loud noises like traffic, music, thunder, fireworks, etc... When meeting new people, I need time to warm up to them. Cats, uh no. Kids, probably not best suited for a home with small kids. No aggressions, they are just a bit loud and unpredicatable for me. So a young to older teen is fine.I think I'd do well with someone who knows how to be firm, yet positive. Likely having a male caretaker in the family would suit me well. An experienced home who can maintain my training is best, as I thrive with consistently enforced rules and boundaries. If you let things slip on behaviors, my dominant, naughty side comes out. Ruh roh. Sounds just like a kid, doesn't it?With consistency, stability and love, I will be the best dog ever. You will love seeing my smiling face greeting you every morning.

Passing bikes or occasional motorcycles, if extra loud startle me. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Prey driveMedium-high, manifests as barking and hyper-fixation. Mainly with squirrels & cats, never seen  with birds or smaller dogs.Training: 1 month of intensive training school & 2nd level training recently completed.Leash skills: yes. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: Yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home. Health notes:I have been spayed/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.

Currently in a Toronto foster home! Hello! My name is Hoya, and I’m a 4-year-old female Golden Retriever-Jindo mix, weighing 27 kg (59 lbs). With my large, sturdy frame and calm, friendly nature, I’m a truly special companion. Rescued from a shelter in Korea just before being euthanized, I’ve been given a second chance at life and can’t wait to share it with my forever family. I’m a quiet dog who rarely barks, and I’m incredibly friendly with people—even strangers. I trust humans completely and am happy to let them pet me. While I get along with other dogs, I tend to prefer spending time alone or enjoying one-on-one attention with my humans. I’m non-aggressive and absolutely adore showing affection—it’s in my nature to love and be loved. I’m well-trained and know commands like “sit,” “wait,” and “house,” which I follow with ease. On walks, I’m the perfect gentleman: I stay calm, walk steadily beside my human, and don’t pull on the leash. I enjoy exploring the world at my own pace, sniffing around with curiosity, but loud noises or sudden movements don’t faze me. I love treats and am cooperative with grooming activities like baths and brushing. My greatest joy comes from being close to people and feeling their love and care. My gentle personality and warm heart make me a wonderful addition to any home. Are you ready to welcome a loyal, sweet, and affectionate dog into your life? I’m Hoya, and I can’t wait to meet you and brighten your days with my love!
