Story
My name is Hero, and I’m ready for my first true family, a warm bed, and the simple joy of being someone’s dog.
Here is a little info about me:
Breed: Mix Saluki LabradorAge: 1 yearGender: MaleWeight: 28 kgHeight: 22 inchesCurent location: Middle East
Energy Level: Low to moderate
I get along with: Dogs and kids Video - Hero with kids . Cats are unknown but with a slow introduction it could work given my personality
Fears: None observed so far. Like any rescue, I’ll need patience and consistency as I transition to home life—new noises and routines can take a little time.
Leash skills: Some but with time my confidence will build with your help.
House trained: Yes
Health notes: Tri-paw (front leg amputation from a puppyhood accident). I manage beautifully—shorter, steady walks and good traction at home help me feel my best.I have been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
Adoption fee: $750.00 CAD + taxes. While our rescuers always seek a flight without a charge, there is the possibility of a passenger fee, not to exceed $300.
Highlight(s): A resilient three-legged cuddle bug, ready to bring joy and everyday courage to your home.
About me - I’m a soft-eyed, three-legged sweetheart who believes every pat is a love letter. If you’re looking for a gentle companion with a brave little heart, I’m your boy. I’m affectionate, calm, trusting, and easygoing. I walk nicely on leash, ride politely in the car, and I’m respectful with my things—no chewing, no toy or food guarding, and I’m not a big barker. I love people (women, men, and kids) and I do well with other dogs. I’m the kind of buddy who settles near your feet and checks in with soft eyes: “Need a cuddle?”
Ideal home - I’d thrive with a loving family that enjoys gentle walks and cozy evenings. Because I’m a tri-paw, a home with minimal stairs (or a willingness to help me with ramps and rest breaks) would be ideal. I’m wonderfully adaptable—house, apartment, or condo—so long as I have daily strolls, mental enrichment, and lots of love. Another friendly dog would be a bonus, but I’m just as happy being your one-and-only.
My story - As a tiny pup, I was found by the roadside in the Middle East after being struck by a car. My front leg couldn’t be saved, so it was safely amputated—and I learned to move through the world with grace on three. I’ve lived in a shelter ever since, growing up with the sound of kennels instead of the rhythm of a home. Still, I kept my tail wag and my hope bright.

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 asked to pay a passenger fee on top of the cargo fee.
[MID EAST DOGS] *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.
