Labrador Retriever puppies and dogs in Aldergrove, British Columbia

Hi, my name is Soba (Nono.) I am a 4 year old female labrador/Border Collie cross (best guess from my appearance). I have been in Canada (Greater Vancouver) for 3 years but, due to life circumstances of my adopter, he is unable to keep me. I am a loving dog who really enjoys being with my humans. I can be a bit vocal when I meet dogs on walks but I know I can learn some different greeting skills! After all, I'm part border collie and they can learn marvelous things! Please, please, come and meet me. You'll see what a great dog I am. I have recently been having a few knee problems which may need some help from a vet but you can find out more about this from my rehoming adopter. Whatever is the issue, it's not slowing me down much.  I  once had a family in the Middle East who actually rescued me from the street when I was just a month old. But they had to give me to the shelter for protection because someone called the police and they wanted to take me away. You see dogs are illegal to own here and quite often dogs are ripped away from our families and killed. I was lucky to be loved enough to be put in a shelter and not just thrown on the street. Even though I am safe from the police, life in a shelter can be very rough for some dogs. I am one of those dogs. I am a very sweet and loving dog and some of the other dogs see me a weak and are starting to attack me. I am so very scared so I would really love to get into another home quickly. I am not used to shelter life and I am getting very depressed. I really am a great dog. I am very smart and kind. I try hard to be friends with the other dogs here and I really do want to be friends and thankfully some of them are nice with me. I am loving with my human caretakers and I would love to be in a home, any home really. I would love to go on long walks and have playtime in the dog park too. I do have an advantage over some of the other dogs here in Iran because I actually did live in a home so I have an idea of how that is. I should make an easy transition into my new life. So as you see I urgently need to get our of the shelter before I get hurt by the other dogs. I am looking so forward to my new life in Canada all curled up and cozy in your home.   I am spayed, vaccinated and micro-chipped    My adoption fee is $500.00    please see our adoption guidelines at www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca   nono/fariba   ##204543##

**Currently fostered at Okanagan, BC **Hello my name is Brodie and here is some information about me:  Brodie: 3 yrs - 28 kg - Male neutered - Shepherd mix - Good with cats – Good with dogs - House trained (maybe a couple of accidents in a new home at first) - He is skittish at first and needs time to gain trust - Only barks when very excited - Medium energy level - Good on leash but sometimes pulls when he is afraid - Healthy - When he was a 1 month old puppy, he was rescued from the street and kept in a home and once he got bigger, he was surrendered to a shelter in the Middle East. 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 and should begin within a few days after arrival. After your dog has settled in, check out 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. I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD + applicable 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.

Good day folks. My name is BRYNN (Bahar) and here is a little info about me:Breed: Anatolian Shepard mixAge: 2 yearsGender: FemaleWeight: 29  kgsHeight: 51 cmHighlights: adaptable, playful, affectionate, energetic If you like an adaptable dog, then I am one for you. I hurdle change quickly. I am a gift waiting for your open arms.I don't remember how I separated from my siblings and mother, but I lost my way and couldn’t find my family. Exhausted, tired and very hungry, I started to sleep in a children's park. The children at the park played with me severely. That place was so cold too, but I survived... somehow.A lady, who I later called my rescuer, took me from there and placed me into a boarding facility. Sadly, that is how they are taught. I live here now with 10 other dogs. We have a big yard where we can run, play and enjoy life. Even though I love being with my buddies, I would really love a warm home of my own where I can be with my people.I am energetic and playful. I like tug toys too.You'll see I am affectionate and people oriented https://youtube.com/shorts/uEaV3HR4Hn0. I listen well & am easy to train. https://youtu.be/aozv3Oat2Vo. Though I can get excited about things, you should be able to help me focus and learn to chill at those moments. I am good with other dogs, given proper intro.Hoping you are ready for a sweet girl like me. Energy Level: High Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. I get along with:Dogs: yesCats: UnknownKids: Unknown Training: some, used to collar & leash. Not crate trained.Leash skills: I’m comfortable on the leash, but have a pulling attitude.

Hi there. My name is PARIS and here is a little info about me:Breed: Lab mixAge: 3 years oldGender: FemaleWeight: 35 kgsHeight: 62 cmHighlights: affectionate, playful, like toys An affectionate, energetic girl looking for a good time. Quite playful. That's my singles ad. Heehee.My rescuer found me in a high school garden in Turkey with my 7 little babies. I actually was born into the same school garden, but had a car accident one day. The teachers who gave me food and water had me treated, but since I wasn’t spayed, I had already gotten pregnant.When my puppies started to grow, guardians of the students complained about me with false accusations and it caused my path to cross with my real rescuers. They found me a fenced garden where I can be safe.They are bringing food and water everyday, but I’m bored here because I love my human companion. The happiest times for me are when my rescuers bring me raw chicken, egg and dog biscuits. You could say I am spoiled, but for my lack of being able to interact with my beloved humans as I so desire. I love being petted and to hang out with people: https://youtu.be/futYesYv48Y. That's what us dogs were designed for, right?Though I will guard my space from another dog, once properly introduced, I am fine. I can be a bit picky who my good doggie friends will be, so proper intro is vital (large males especially.) I'm not an alpha and will get along afterward.  https://youtu.be/7mYppnNWYtM.I really like chewing on play toys and I can be left alone for hours without issue. I'm such a good girl. I do get excited easily though, so a bit of training will help that.I'd enjoy a fairly active home. Maybe long hikes in the forest or runs on the beach. I hear those are splendid. Absolutely we need our cuddle time too, so I can be, oh so close to you. Energy Level: High Fears: None observed. Please be patient during my transition. No prey drive observed. I get along with:Dogs: yes, bit choosy, video soonCats: UnknownKids: Unknown Training: some leashworkLeash skills: I’m comfortable on the leash, but please be prepared to continue training.House trained: Not yet. Please be prepared to help me learn! No crate training. Health notes: Xrays have revealed I was shot with some buckshot. It is causing no harm, so the vet said best to leave it alone.I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. 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.

Good day everyone. My name is Willow and here is some info on me:Breed: Labrador Retriever/Rottie/Pittie mixAge: 4 yrsGender: femaleWeight: 85 lbsHeight: tbdHighlight(s): sweet, people loving, alert, happy, eager to learn. I am a super sweet girl who loves people.My owners dropped me at the shelter in Texas, stating I am protective of my space, but it really seems to be because they are about to have a baby and don't want to bother with training me. Sad.Don't you just love my sleek black fur. Yup, I'm a happy labbie something, something, something mix... LOL. Best of all worlds. Grin.I have typical young dog energy. Toned down a tad now that I am 4 though.Now, while I do love people, I will bark at first if someone new comes to the house. That is my alert to my owner, hey someone is here. Once I see my owner is fine with them though, then I am friendly too. Being treat motivated helps. A morsel of cheese or other goodie and I am mush in your hands.I won the doggie jackpot being fostered by a dog trainer!!! Being with my foster I have developed confidence and have learned how to behave appropriately around other dogs. With proper introductions I seem to be good with pretty much all dogs now, Yay!!! I would love a forever home that will continue to set structure and boundaries to make me a confident doggo. Just give me consistent reinforcement & encouragement and I know I will be the dream dog you desire.My former owners kept trying to force interactions I was not comfortable with, since they just didn't have the experience to handle me. I just needed time to adjust and a bit of training and I am a new GIRL!!!. Truly, I am just a honey bunny, who you'll enjoy cuddling. Oh, I'm also already house-trained. Bonus score.

Good day. My name is BOJI and here is a little info about me:Breed: Lab/Saluki mix (Baladi dog)Age: 2-1/2 yrsGender: maleWeight: 55 lbsHeight: 24-1/2 inchesHighlight(s): sweet, loves food, easy personality SUPERB UPDATE: I can walk again. I had my surgery and it is working, I am no longer paralyzed. Now, I just need to strengthen up. https://youtu.be/56N2TYpDDjI. Please keep watch for updated videos of my progress. I am so sweet and just love life. My mission in life will be to love you up and make you smile.One morning in Egypt, my rescuer, who feeds all us street dogs found me injured and unable to walk! So it's most likely I was hit by a car. This is quite common here, sadly. They don't even try to avoid us dogs. I was not depressed by this situation, as I wanted to live, so my rescuers didn't give up on my life. They consulted at number of vets here, but they didn't feel confident about doing surgery to help me walk again.They finally checked with a specialist & they are verifying that he could possibly do a couple surgeries to fix me enough to rehab walking again, at least with one of my rear legs. I do have movement in it: https://youtube.com/shorts/IpjMJLi-yRs, https://youtube.com/shorts/cfcp80bTSQk. My x-rays are included. Hoping the first can occur soon. They are fund-raising. Hopefully by the time I reach Canada, I will be set to walk around. Maybe a Canada specialist will have even better ideas.I love food, so should be easy to motivate for any training, like learning to use a wheelchair and walk with you on leash, for example. They say I have such a good heart and am a good natured pup.It is rather boring for me here, as I am stuck in an apartment all day, as life is not kind to any dogs here, but even worse for a disabled dog. Hoping you are ready for me, so I can get to Canada and live a real life, as a dog should.I get along well with others: https://youtube.com/shorts/hrQyd81lDLw and display no aggressive tendencies at all. Awaiting a video of me with other dogs. No idea how I'd be with cats or kids, never been around them. I'm pretty east going though, so given proper intro, I could probably do well. Plus if the kitty is fast, I couldn't keep up. LOL.I am aware of my bladder and bowels and will move away from my sleeping spot to go. So, maybe some pee pads for now will work.If you are looking for a snuggle buddy and soneone to share meaningful strolls with, I'm yer guy. Energy Level: moderateI get along with:Dogs: unknown, rescuer states yes, await video.Cats: unknownKids: unknown Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training: noneLeash skills: no. Please be prepared to train me. A wheelchair will be needed.House trained: No. Please help me learn where to go in my new home Health notes: Due to my original disability, I have not yet been spayed/neutered, but I am vaccinated and microchipped.My adoption fee is $700.00 CAD plus applicable taxes.

Meet Michael! ‍ Michael is a beautiful 8 year old boy who weighs approx 65 lbs. He is a mix of Labrador Retriever & Mallorcan Shepherd. Brains and beauty all in one!  Sadly, Michael has suffered a lot in his life. He grew up in Mexico with an owner who physically abused him. When his owner decided he no longer wanted Michael, he took him to the pound to be euthanized. The rescue stepped in and brought Michael to safety. He is now living with a foster family in Guadalajara, Mexico. Michael is looking for a forever home with someone who will show him what it's like to be loved. He longs for human acceptance and wants so much to make his person happy. He is very friendly with people, despite his past abuse. All he wants is a loving human connection. We don’t know all the details of Michael’s upbringing, but something in his past caused him to be wary of other dogs, particularly unneutered males. He gets along with female dogs and neutered males, but ideally he'd like to be the only pet in the home. Also no cats for this guy please. Michael is a people-oriented dog, so although he’s not a social butterfly with other pets, he is a very loyal companion to his humans. Michael is the perfect pup for someone who is looking for an adventure buddy! Even though he is an older adult dog, he has a good amount of energy, loves long walks, loves exploring nature, and never says no to some outdoor fun. He knows how to walk on a leash and he rides well in the car too. Whether it’s a stroll around town or a road trip to the mountain trails, Michael will be your perfect sidekick. At home, Michael is a well-behaved guy. He's happy to lounge around with his humans and just chill out. He is house trained and does not guard his food or toys. He is not an excessive barker. Michael is also very intelligent and picks up training quickly, especially given his eagerness to please. He has already completed basic obedience training. Michael is food motivated which is a great tool for positive reinforcement training. Being a mix of lab and shepherd, Michael comes by his smarts honestly and would thrive with an owner who will keep his mind stimulated. Michael has a clean bill of health from the vet. He is SNAP 4Dx tested (negative for heartworm, Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, and anaplasma). He is neutered, fully vaccinated, dewormed, and recently had hernia repair surgery (fully recovered). If you can give Michael the forever home he so deserves, please submit an online application by clicking the ADOPT button. Michael is currently still in Mexico with his fosters, and he will travel to BC once his perfect match is found. ‍ **PLEASE NOTE: There will be an additional $235 transport fee for transportation to Canada. This will be discussed upon approval.** ##1376352##

Hola! My name is ROBBIE (they call be "Rabito" in Mexico, which means "Little Tail") and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Lab mix Age: 1 year Gender: male Weight: 49 lbs (22.5 kg) Length (nose to butt): 82cm Height (paws to top of head): 74.5cm Current Location: MEXICO CITY RESCUE STORY - I was born on the streets of Mexico and was found severely malnourished, along with my two sisters (Mimosa and Carla) when we were only one month old. Living on the streets was so scary and we were so happy to have been rescued! You can learn more about my heartbreaking rescue by watching this video. I required extensive vet care after I was rescued. As you can see, I'm quite the little fighter to have survived all I went through!  TEMPERAMENT - I am told that I am a lovely, friendly and sweet doggo! I love to get affection from my humans and to play with my siblings and other dogs I meet. My foster mum has been working with me on my leash skills and I am really improving! I am calm and well-mannered when out for walks. ENERGY LEVEL - Medium energy. I have matured and am out of my hyper-puppy phase, but still have energy to play with you! GETS ALONG WITH:  Kids – Yes. I have met with kids on walks and am happy to receive pets! Dogs –  I get along well with the other dogs at my foster. Check out my videos to see! I would do best in a home with another friendly dog playmate to help me build my confidence! Cats – Unknown PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around cats/squirrels/rabbits etc., so my adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. TRAINING: Leash skills – Good. I have been working with my foster on leash skills and am calm and well mannered in walks. I currently live in a suburban environment and so don't have much exposure to busy urban settings. A well-fitted harness and some dedicated leash training will help me to continue my success! Here I am going for a walk! House training – Work in progress. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home :) Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.  HEALTH NOTES: When I was first rescued, I was severely malnourished and had parasites. My tail had been cut off on the streets. I had wounds and incredibly swollen glands. My chance of survival was low, however my foster family made sure I got all the care I needed. Although my progress was slow, I got stronger and stronger every day and somehow, I survived! I am a healthy boy now, don't worry.  I am neutered and have received all of my puppy vaccinations! I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records. I will be tested for Heartworm etc. before flying North. NOTE: It is not uncommon for rescue dogs to require dental work/cleaning after they are adopted. West Coast Paws does not cover the costs of dental work and/or vet visits. These costs are the financial responsibility of the adopter. ADOPTION FEE: My adoption fee is $840.00 including taxes (5% GST, 7% PST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver. ------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Please visit wcpdogrescue.com to read about West Coast Paws Dog Rescue and its adoption process.

TEMPERAMENT - Like most puppies, I have lots of energy and just LOVE to play especially with my siblings (Carla and Robbie)! I adore affection from hoomans and can’t wait for all the belly rubs and snuggles from a family of my very own! I am looking for a patient, loving family who is ready for “all things puppy”! Hoomans who are open to working with timidity, potential play nipping, high energy, house training and leash skills. I promise to repay you with loads of cuddles, kisses (of course!), and tail wags! ENERGY LEVEL - Medium/High - While I'm getting a little older, I am still in my puppy years and have the energy and curiosity that comes with a pup! Being the silly girl that I am, I've been known to rip up cloth rope toys and sometimes blankets. I'm learning better manners with my foster, but nonetheless, my adopter will need to be patient with me when adding more structure into my day-to-day life! I love to play with my fellow pups and hoomans, and also looove to cuddle, show and receive affection (check out these videos: video, video2). I'm looking for a forever family, to play with and love on, of my very own!  GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Yes, I do well playing with kiddos.

PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around squirrels/rabbits etc., so my adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. TRAINING: Leash skills – Work in progress. I've been working on my leash skills with my foster, and I'm getting pretty good! I will need an adopter who is happy to work with me on my leash manners. A well-fitted harness and some dedicated leash training will help set me up for success! Check out video and video 2 to see how I'm doing so far! And one more of me greeting a dog on a leash!  House trained – Work in progress.

Hi out there!! My name is Dixie and here's my story: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Lab/Staffordshire Terrier mix Age: 1 year 4 months Gender: Female Weight: 40lbs (18 kg) Current Location: Guadalajara Mexico RESCUE STORY - When I was born, I thought that life was meant to be full of discomfort, neglect and hunger. That's all I had ever known! You see, like my mummy Kira and my sister Chanel, I was found in a home with 20 cats, my mum, myself and my 3 surviving siblings (of the original 13 that were born) and I was not being very well taken care of. I think my owner meant well but they simply didn't have the resources for this small zoo, and as my owner got sick we were left to fend almost entirely for ourselves. As a result I had a bad case of sarcoptic mange and malnutrition and had to be nursed back to health with some much-needed TLC. Since receiving this, I am now a healthy and spunky gal who is ready for her furever home (with you?)! I hope you'll give me a chance to prove to you how loving and loyal my special breed can be.  TEMPERAMENT - I'm a sweet and loving gal who loooooves humans and likes to give 'hugs'. I am good with children, dogs and cats too - how awesome! I love to give kisses and I am a really confident pup who has no problem socializing with other pups both big and small. I'm also curious and VERY food-motivated (a dog trainer's dream!). Despite my rough start to life, I have nothing but love to give to hoomans and can't wait to find my furever family.  ENERGY LEVEL - Moderate GETS ALONG WITH: Kids –  Yes I'm good with kids as you can see here.  Dogs – Yep!! I get along just fine with other dogs and am around them all day Cats – I am incredibly patient with cats as you can see here.  PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around cats/squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. TRAINING: Leash skills – My rescuers say I am learning and doing well however I may need some additional patience and training. House trained – My rescuer says I am okay with this but I may need some additional training and patience.  Crate trained – My rescuer says this is in progress but I may need some additional training and patience.  Car rides – I do okay in the car but still may need some additional training and patience. Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.  HEALTH NOTES: I am spayed and vaccinated. NOTE: dogs from Guadalajara are not microchipped. NOTE: It is not uncommon for rescue dogs to require dental work/cleaning after they are adopted. West Coast Paws does not cover the costs of dental work and/or vet visits. These costs are the financial responsibility of the adopter.

Meet our handsome Leo!  - Profile updated 7/9/2024 This loveable guy is a 2 year old Labrador Retriever mix. He is fully grown at 45 lbs and 21” tall to the shoulder.  Leo boasts an awesome smile which matches his cheerful, friendly personality perfectly! This boy LOVES humans, children included, and he oozes with affection when you give him scratchies and pets. He has proven himself to be quite the charmer at his rescue shelter in Guadalajara. He is social and engages happily with all the staff, visitors, and other doggies too. Leo’s energy level will be a good match for the average person/family because he has a great balance of playfulness and calm sweetness. Leo will be an wonderful outdoor companion for fun activities and also a perfect indoor companion for cuddles and movie nights.   Leo loves animal friends! Not only does he get along well with dogs, he has also been tested with cats and would be just fine living with a feline friend or two.  Leo was rescued from a life of homelessness on the streets of Mexico. He had taken refuge in someone’s garage but the resident dogs there made it clear they didn’t want another dog on their territory. This is how Leo came into the care of the rescue - he has been living at the rescue shelter for over a year, often overlooked by adopters because of his size, most folks tend to gravitate towards the smaller dogs. Leo is still waiting patiently for his perfect person to come along and scoop him up. VETTING:  Fully vaccinated. Neutered. Dewormed. SNAP 4Dx negative (Heartworm, Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma). Distemper negative. Flea/tick/heartworm prevention. No known medical issues or injuries. **PLEASE NOTE: Leo is currently in Mexico. There will be a $235 fee for transportation to BC. This will be discussed upon approval.** ##1831081##

Nina is waiting patiently for her happily ever after. Could you be the one to give her a forever home?   Nina is 4 years old and looks to be a hound/lab mix, although her exact breed(s) are not known. She is fully grown at 50 lbs and 22” in height to her shoulders.  Nina was rescued with her two puppies, living amongst bushes and garbage on the streets of Mexico. Both of her pups have been adopted but Nina has been waiting over a year for a family of her own. Bigger dogs tend to get overlooked BUT keep reading to hear all about Nina and her loveliness.   Nina is with our incredible rescue partner in Guadalajara, which means she will arrive to Canada with a solid foundation of socialization and training. Before joining her forever family, Nina is working with a certified trainer to learn obedience and even some fun tricks! She is very receptive to training and she’d love to be with a family who will continue to build on her learning.  Nina currently lives with a foster family in Guadalajara so she’s accustomed to the home environment and is fully house trained. She also knows how to walk well on the leash and is crate trained. Nina shares her foster home with other doggies and enjoys the company of medium-large size dogs (rather than small dogs or puppies). She does not guard her food or toys and she’s not much of a barker. Nina’s personality is full of joy and curiosity for life. She likes her daily walks and exploring the outdoors, but she’s a calm dog who is happy to relax at home when you’re having a lazy day. Nina goes with the flow of her family and is content to be where her people are.  Nina’s very favourite thing on earth is the company of humans. She’s a total “people dog” - loyal, loving, and friendly. Nina loves to be shown affection and give affection in return. She’s the type of dog who will become your devoted best friend in no time!  Nina doesn’t have experience with cats but she does show interest in chasing squirrels and small critters. Given this, a home without kitties would be best. For those applying to adopt Nina, we will send updates and videos of her training progress in Mexico. You’ll see her beautiful personality and eagerness to please. We’re sure you will fall in love with her! VETTING:  Fully vaccinated Spayed Dewormed  SNAP 4Dx negative (Heartworm, Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma) Distemper negative Flea/tick/heartworm prevention No known medical issues   **PLEASE NOTE: Nina is currently in Mexico with her fosters. There will be a $235 fee for transportation to BC. This will be discussed upon approval.**   ##1912254##

Hi there! My name is DARLA and I just arrived in BC Canada on July 7 2024!  Here is some info about me:Breed: Husky / Retriever  Age: 6 yearsGender: FemaleWeight: 60 pounds - 28 kgHeight: 26 inches - 65 cm I've arrived in Canada and am so happy and excited to not have to live the rest of my life in a shelter!  I'm a really sweet and happy dog.  I get along with people and other canines, not sure about cats yet though.  Settling in with my foster family, I've shown my gentle side.  Now I'm optimistically waiting, as patiently as I can, for my adoptive family to find me and have a place to call home. In October 2021 rescuers found me roaming the hills on the outskirts of a major city.  Initially my rescuers thought I was blind because of my unique eye colour.  As a husky, my eyes are the typical light/sky blue.  After I received an examination at the shelter they so kindly brought me to, it was determined that I can see just fine!  I lived in the shelter for almost 3 years and am oh-so eager to become a part of a loving family. I know that with the right human(s), I would be an exceptional companion. I want to hang out and explore life outside of the shelter! Energy level: moderate Get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unknownKids: unknown (awaiting video proof) FEARSSo far, I am not fearful of anything. TRAINING:Leash skills – none, work in progress...House trained – no, please be prepared to help me learn!  It was hard to receive consistent training for this at the shelter.  I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $750.00 CAD + applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada.

Hi, my name is CARSON (Charlie) and here is a little info about me:Age: 3 yrsGender: maleWeight: ~27 kgHeight: 64 cmHighlights: playful with other dogs, cuddly, good with all people My rescuers think I had a home and was used as a hunting dog before, but was abandoned when I had an accident and injured my legs. I was wandering the streets when I spotted an animal lover. When she gave me some 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 am a happy, playful boy who loves meeting new people and going out for adventures. I am very good with people and build up an emotional connection with people very quickly. I am good with children, men and women. I don’t like cats. I get along well with other dogs and enjoy playing with them, but I do consider myself the alpha and I don’t like sharing my food with my four-footed friends. I love getting attention from people and am very cuddly. I am very loyal to my human. My ideal home you ask... I would be happy with an active, young family who takes me out on lots of adventures, or a quieter home with children. 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: yes, await vid Prey drive: medium. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. Fears: unknown/none observed. Please be patient with me through my transition. Training: a bit on leashLeash: my leash skills still need some work. I will generally happily walk alongside my human, but when I feel the pressure of the leash I get stressed and may refuse to walk. Please be prepared to continue training me.House trained: No. Please be prepared to help me learn! 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.

Hello. My name is MOJO (Mehraban) and here is a little info about me:Breed: Golden Retriever/Alaskan Malemute/Shepard mixAge: 3 yearsGender: MaleWeight: 30 kgHeight: 80 cmHighlight(s): LOVES KIDS!, tripaw, tolerant, loving I am quite the gentleman, as I love to be around kids.Rescued in the Middle East from a cruel attack. I don't know why, but one day a group of men attacked me and stabbed me in my right foreleg. It was in fact very painful, but I am so glad to have escaped that mean village. I finally found a place to hide and stay away from people for quite some time until some kind individuals found me. By the time I was rescued though, it was too late to recover my injured leg and as a result it had to be amputated. So now I live as a tripaw.Surprisingly, I still trust humans and let them pet me. I seem to be good with other dogs (no idea about cats.) I am not protective about my food at all and in fact enjoy eating while being around kids as they are petting me.I like to be decorated with flowers by kids! I know I look cute and photogenic!I would love to have a relaxing home with a loving family who have kids. Surely it doesn't hurt having a bit of good Mojo around the house, right? Grin.
