Story

**🏠 Currently in a Vancouver foster home** Hi! My name is Oat, and I'm a tiny 2-year-old Maltese weighing just 3.2 kg (7 lbs). People always tell me I have the cutest little face and floppy ears that make me look a bit like a Cocker Spaniel. I have a long body, short little legs, and a heart that's even bigger than I am. My life didn't start the way every dog deserves. I was rescued from a breeding facility, and now I'm finally getting the chance to discover what it means to be loved. I think I'm going to like this new life very much. If you're looking for a best friend, I might be your perfect match. I absolutely adore people. Whether we've just met or we've known each other forever, I'm always happy to say hello with a wagging tail. I also get along wonderfully with other dogs, so I'd be happy living with a canine sibling or being your one-and-only little companion. One of the things my foster family loves most about me is how quiet and gentle I am. I rarely bark, I'm easygoing, and I enjoy simply being near the people I love. I'm also a great eater! I happily finish my meals, especially my Royal Canin Starter kibble, and I never say no to a tasty piece of boiled potato and sweet potato. Right now, I'm learning to use pee pads and adjusting to life in a home. Everything is still new to me, but I'm trying my best every single day. Since I never had the chance to experience a normal family life, I'll need someone patient to teach me the basics—walking on a leash, enjoying daily walks, and learning good manners. The good news is that I love people and I'm eager to learn, so I know we'll have lots of fun figuring everything out together. I've already left my past behind. Now all I need is a family who will love me, guide me, and promise that I'll never have to wonder where I belong again. Could that family be yours?

Story

Hello! My name is Georgie , thank you for checking out my site. Here's some info on me. Breed: Maltese mixAge: 1 year oldGender: MaleWeight: 7kgHeight: 29 cmCountry of origin: Mexico If you are searching for a loving buddy , I may be the dog for you. I was found living on the streets where it is never a good place to be when you are as young and small as me. I was lucky to be rescued by a kind lady who took me in and has been caring for me since. What a relief. Now I would love to find a family up north where I can be loved on and experience what it really feels like to be " forever home" . Maybe I can experience walks on the beach or long hikes , and maybe see snow someday, oh that would be so nice. I get along with men , women, kids and cats , how about that. My health and teeth are good , I have been tested for heartworm including blood parasites and I am clean . I get Nexgard once a month. I have moderate energy, no fears or trauma and I have great character. I play but have yet to experience toys. Maybe you can teach me about them and spoil me with stuffed animals or balls. Bet I can learn. I could be happy in a house or an apartment. More then anything, I just would like to be home. Energy Level: moderate I get along with:Dogs: yesCats: yesKids: yes Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training: crate trained. Walks well on leash.Leash skills: yes. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: In process. Please help me learn! I have been neutered and vaccinated My adoption fee is $850.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver. 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. ##2789085##

Story

Cocoa is the best little pup you could ask for. Despite the awful he has been through, his gentle personality shines through. Cocoa’s owner of 13 years passed away and the family didn’t want him. He found himself left at one of the Riverside County Campus’ completely confused. He was on the at risk list and local rescues were not interested. Our team simply could not leave him there. This old man deserved so much better. It was clear that he had been neglected for some time; he was emaciated and his teeth were rotted to the jawbone. It is one of the worst cases that we (and our vets) have ever seen. He had to undergo many extractions and his mouth had to be reconstructed in areas where the rot had completely infiltrated his gums and there was little to no gum left. Many teeth were just dangling. It’s incredible that he had survived the pain and deep infections. Despite the journey here and his recovery from that and the complex surgery; Cocoa continues to show us his will to live and his desire to love. His story was not over yet!

Story

✅️Currently located in South Korea✅️ Meet Noah🤍 💙 Noah’s Account: @aki.noa.sushi 1. Health • Neutering/Spaying: Completed • Other: Microchipped; had bladder stone surgery and molar extraction. Fully blind in one eye due to cataracts. Experiences coughing when temperatures drop, requiring steroid medication if coughing occurs. Has partial hearing loss. All teeth except molars have been extracted, so he cannot eat hard treats. 2. Rescue Story • Noah was rescued from a breeding facility alongside Aji and Aki before Adogs officially formed. He was adopted, but after his adopter passed away suddenly in September 2024, Noah returned to Adogs. He is looking for a family to help him overcome his grief and begin a new chapter of life. 3. Personality & Habits • With People: Very affectionate and sweet, loves both strangers and familiar people, and often approaches first asking for pets. • With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs, both familiar and new friends. May show cute jealousy if another dog gets attention. • Separation Anxiety: Calm when left with Aki, though Aki has separation anxiety that affects Noah. If left with another dog or person, he waits quietly. • House Training: Fully pee pad trained (100% accuracy), though he prefers pooping outdoors. He tends to pee near the edge of the pad, so surrounding it with a fence or holder is helpful. • Hygiene/Grooming: Very calm and well-behaved during baths, drying, and brushing. • Walking on Leash: Walks well on a leash without pulling and keeps pace nicely. 4. Special Notes • May bark briefly when a stranger enters the room for the first time. In the evenings, he may bark for 5 minutes normally, or 20–30 minutes if he has extra energy. • Has a strong food drive and eats quickly when excited for meals, so feeding slowly and calmly is recommended.
