Story
Meet Gucci, a delightful and well-behaved boy who is looking for a forever home along with his brother, Shaggy. Gucci knows some impressive tricks, including sit and shake, and his charming personality is sure to win your heart. His curly coat will need regular grooming to keep him looking his best.Gucci can be a bit of a picky eater and prefers to eat when you're close by. He can also be quite vocal, especially when he wants attention. While he loves his brother dearly, he sometimes gets a little jealous when you're petting Shaggy instead of him. Gucci has some little dog lumps all over his body, but they've been checked by the vet and are not a cause for concern. He also has a heart murmur that will need regular vet checks to monitor.Gucci and Shaggy share a special bond and are looking for a home where they can stay together. They seem to prefer other smaller-sized dog friends over larger ones. If you're ready to welcome two loving companions into your life, Gucci and Shaggy are waiting to meet you!Do you think you could be Gucci's person? Here are some ways to find out:1.) Visit our centre to meet this pet during adoption viewings Friday to Wednesday noon to 3pm, learn more about their ideal match, and apply to adopt in person; or2.) Submit an online application adopt.spca.bc.ca and staff will contact the first suitable adopter to set-up a visit! Kindly note that due to the high number of applications and the availability of walk-in adoptions an online applicant would have to be available to come in for a meet within 24 hrs.

Story
Hello. I'm SKYE and here's a tad about me:Breed: Shih Tzu/Border Terrier mixAge: 1 yearGender: femaleWeight: 5 kgHeight: 40 cmHighlights: friendly, intelligent, energetic, quiet, easy to train Hello beautiful people! Bet you can guess why I have my name, my beautiful sky-blue eyes, of course.Found running around close to the freeways in a busy city in the Middle East, I am so lucky my rescuer found me.https://youtube.com/shorts/G_4-XMhSprc?si=V-q1fC3vr0jK56dQ nobody knows what my backstory is, but everyone is guessing that I belonged to somebody and they abandoned me. A lot of people will buy a dog thinking that they are fun and like little dolls, but do not understand the responsibility. Once I was caught I was taken to the vet for an overall check up (everything went well). I have been at the shelter for about a week now, but I am really looking forward to hitching a ride to come see you.I am already potty trained, which is another clue that I was already part of a family. I get along with the other dogs at the shelter too. No idea about kitties.While I can be energetic, like my namesake of the big, blue, peaceful sky, I am a quiet girl. You'll find me both intelligent and easy to train. This should make our life together simply wonderful. Energy level: moderateI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unknownKids: unknownPrey drive: none observed. My adopter needs to be willing train me should these behaviors arise. Fears: None observed. Please be patient during my transition to my new home.Training: someLeash training: just a bit. Please be prepared to train me.House training: yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home. Health notes: I am vaccinated and microchipped and will be spayed soon.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 fight 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. ##2071654##
