American Pit Bull Terrier puppies and dogs in Chilliwack, British Columbia

~~ Foster Needed or even better **FOREVER HOME** ~~ Meet Julie! Julie is a super sweet 10-month-old, 38-lb pittie who loves to play and cuddle. She is always up for a walk, a round of tug-of-war, or a romp with friends her size or bigger. When playtime is over, Julie is happy to laze around the house, relax in the sunshine, or cuddle up with her humans, but be ready… she has serious boundary issues and will happily take up your whole lap if you let her! Julie had a rough start to life that caused some issues with her GI tract. She is currently on a prescription diet and medication to help her heal and gain weight. None of this slows her down, though. She is a happy, energetic girl! Being a youngster, Julie is learning new things all the time. She is very treat-motivated and wants to please, which is a great plus for training. She is fully house-trained and will signal that she has to go outside by sitting at the door. She also quickly mastered the dog door in her foster home! If you love spending time in the outdoors, Julie will make a great companion. She is good on leash, is very curious and is always up for new adventures. Need to go out for a bit? No problem. Julie is quite content to hang out in her crate with her favorite toy and bone. If you want to take her with you, though, she loves car rides and will gladly wait in the back seat while you’re running your errands. A good guard dog, Julie barks at unfamiliar sounds but not excessively. She is wary of new people and may growl or lunge when scared, so slow introductions are crucial. She will benefit from some focused training to overcome her fear. Due to Julie’s fear and energy level, a family with older, dog-savvy children or no children will be best for her. She will chase cats and small dogs so proper introduction and training will be necessary if either is in the home. Gaining Julie’s trust may take a couple of days but once you have it, her personality shines and she quickly becomes your best friend. She is a super sweet pup who wants nothing more than to be loved and be with her humans. Julie is available for adoption through the Alternative Humane Society. If you are ready to give this sweet girl the forever home she deserves, you will be rewarded with love and loyalty! Fill out an application today at https://alternativehumanesociety.com/statement-of-interest-dog/ (Julie is up to date on vaccines, and is microchipped and spayed. Basic obedience training will be required for Julie and her adopter(s), and AHS will cover the cost. Additionally, Julie’s adoption fee has been reduced to offset some of the cost for her food and medication.) ##1947169##

~~THIS IS A COURTESY POST. THIS DOG IS **NOT** IN THE CARE OF THE ALTERNATIVE HUMANE SOCIETY. PLEASE REACH OUT TO THE OWNER DIRECTLY AT samantha.r.muljat@gmail.com   THANK YOU~~ Phoebe is a 6 year old Heeler/Pittie mix. She is spayed, housebroken and up-to-date on all her vaccines. Phoebe is an amazing girl but is shy at first when meeting new people. Once she gets to know you she is a spunky, athletic girl who is super affectionate and loves to snuggle/pretzel herself around her owner at night. She is super soft, so cuddling with her is one of my biggest joys. She is a high-energy dog, which would be best suited for someone with an already active lifestyle. She is an excellent hiking/running partner. She gets nervous around loud noises, so a busy city apartment, or an environment with loud machinery would not benefit her. She would also have to be an only pet and can’t be around small children. She is great off-leash and has a good recall. She sometimes does this thing where she “scouts” the area in front of you to make sure it’s safe. Phoebe’s smart and funny and loves goofing around with her owner on the carpet. She also loves her “Chuck-it” and playing fetch. However, she is not good playing with dogs at the dog park and she will get reactive if other dogs try and steal her toy. Phoebe has no problem greeting other dogs on hikes however. I’m also interested in a co-parent/open-adoption kind of situation, if the circumstances allow it. For example, if the person who wants to take her in doesn’t have enough time for walks, I could come and take her on hikes. Or if someone could only take her temporarily, that is also an option. ##2006754##

Helloooooo Canadaaaaa! My name is Kyros and here is some info about me: Breed: American Pitbull TerrierAge: 7 years 7 monthsGender: maleWeight: 28 kgs/ 61lbsHeight: tbd Witnesses saw me being dumped from a car on a busy highway. Terribly shameful thing for someone to do. Thank goodness my rescuer saved me. After my rescue, my old owner was identified and my rescuer discovered that I’ve lived most of my life (5 years) tied outside a garage through winter and summer. Horrible again. I got adopted shortly after (6 months) and unfortunately my owner passed away due to a sudden heart attack. So sad. We were great together and he was helping me learn. After that, I have been placed in a paid boarding facility, where I am extremely depressed and barely eating. I am an extremely loyal and protective dog. I often get depressed and stop eating if I am not with a human for a long period of time. I warm up to people very quickly and love to bond with humans. I stay close to my human and give them a lot of sloppy kisses and love. I can be trained easily once I trust the person, you just need to find my motivation (usually vocal and physical praise.) I was initially reactive towards all dogs, but with training and some socialization from my previous owner, I was able to approach female dogs in a playful way without reacting. See my video. Though still not friendly with male dogs at all (have a bite history with a male dog). I will never be the dog who can be left off-leash in a park, but with proper training and leadership, I can be a very good dog and companion! Through the work my owner had done, I can walk past barking male dogs (with a secure fence separating us) without flinching (before I was adopted, I used to lunge and pull right away), but if one of them crosses a line and annoys me, I will still lunge and snap at them. If my training is resumed, I'm sure I can improve further. I showed definite improvement with someone taking the time to work with me. The best home would be one without young children or other pets. I will do well with 1.5 hours of walking per day and around 30 minutes of running or tug play. It would be ideal to be in a home with a fenced space for off-leash play, since I cannot be left with other dogs. It would be grand if I could go to a Pitbull knowledgeable home. ENERGY LEVEL: Moderate I GET ALONG WITH:Dogs, ok with females (on leash only) and not friendly at all with males.Cats, unknown, but not likelyKids, unknown. I greet kids (7-10 yrs) during walks, but have never lived with one. I seem friendly and kind with them during walks. PREY DRIVE: High FEARS:none that my rescue mom knows of! I do get jumpy if someone does a lot of sudden movements around me due to my abusive history. TRAINING: someLeash skills – I am leash reactive, so wil need continued work on this. My previous owner was teaching me how to walk nicely on the leash, but I still pull a lot!House trained – I was in a home before, but need a refresher!Other tricks – sit and stay HEALTH NOTES:I am a healthy boy. I am fully vaccinated and neutered. I am also microchipped! My adoption fee is $650.00 CAD + applicable taxes, which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver. I would likely fly through Montreal, see extra costs below.

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. ##1304455##

THIS IS A COURTESY POST. PLEASE CONTACT THE PERSON OR GROUP LISTED BELOW. THIS IS NOT A LOVED AT LAST DOG.   Please contact Stephanie at pachostephanie@gmail.com for more information or to adopt. Hi everyone, I am the energetic Elvis and here's some info about me: Age: 6Breed: Pitbull/ German ShepherdWeight: 90 lbsHeight: 24 inchesMale (intact) Although I  am 6 years old, I am still just a big puppy with a big heart. I love my people and am super-loyal and affectionate. My rescuer says that I have come so far in a short time, a fast learner and very smart when it comes to tricks. As a puppy, I was rescued from a local shelter, and my rescuer took care of me all these years. Unfortunately my rescuer recently passed and the family is no longer able to care for me or my sister, Anna. I would love to find a new home where Anna can join me, but if that doesn't work out, it's still ok. There is nothing I love more than to play fetch and tug-o-war. Did I mention I have heaps of energy? A home with a big yard where I can play all day, would be amazing! I also love walks, but require someone with some experience who can help me practice my leash walking. I like kids and other dogs, however I need to be introduced slowly to strangers, just to check them out. My family comes first and I need to protect them after all. A family with older kids, who has some experience and patience with rescues sounds like my perfect match! I live in Nanaimo BC and the family is willing to travel for meet and greets. An adoption fee of $100 applies. THIS IS A COURTESY POST. PLEASE CONTACT THE PERSON OR GROUP LISTED BELOW.

Hi everyone, I am the affectionate Anna and here's some info about me: Age: 11Breed: Pitbull/ RotweillerWeight: 70 lbsHeight: 21 inchesFemale (spayed) People know me as a sweet, affectionate, well behaved senior dog.  Since I am no longer a pup, I just love lounging around, taking it easy. Belly rubs and cuddles are my absolute favorite! As a puppy, I was rescued from a local shelter, and my rescuer took care of me all these years. Unfortunately my rescuer recently passed and the family is no longer able to care for me or my brother, Elvis. I would love to find a new home where Elvis can join me, but if that doesn't work out, it's still ok. I like kids and other dogs, however, strangers make me anxious sometimes. I suppose I just need to get to know them. Like most experienced dogs, I am house trained and have no problem staying alone at home. No need to make a fuss when my people are away. Naturally, I am house trained and I know all the basic commands.  Leash walking is great, however due to my age, I have recently started limping. The gradual onset limp is suspected to be an underlying condition, so I will need special care and attention, and to go to family who doesn't need a high energy dog and has lots of patience.  I live in Nanaimo BC and the family is willing to travel for meet and greets. An adoption fee of $100 applies. THIS IS A COURTESY POST. PLEASE CONTACT THE PERSON OR GROUP LISTED BELOW.

Hello!! My name is Remi (formerly known as "Brunehilda".) Here is some information about me:Breed: Pitbull Terrier MixAge: 7 year oldGender: FemaleWeight: 64 lbsHeight: 16" tallHighlights: Energetic, resilient, affectionate, loyal & playful As a seven-year-old pitbull mix, I've spent countless days within the walls of the North Central LA animal shelter since September 2022. It's a place where hope flickers dimly, where each day feels like a repeat of the last, and where the sound of footsteps passing by echoes with missed opportunities. I've watched puppies come and go, their adorable antics capturing the hearts of potential adopters. But for me, the attention is fleeting, as people pass by my kennel, their eyes skimming over me as if I'm invisible. Perhaps it's my age or the stigma attached to my breed, but regardless of the reason, it's disheartening to feel overlooked time and time again. Despite the challenges, I refuse to give up hope. Each day, I greet visitors with a wagging tail and hopeful eyes, silently pleading for someone to see the love and loyalty that I have to offer. I yearn for a forever home where I can share my affection, where I can run freely in a backyard, and where I can cuddle up with my human on a cozy couch. But until that day comes, I find solace in the small moments – a scratch behind the ears from a kind-hearted volunteer, a game of fetch in the shelter yard, or the warmth of the sun streaming through the window of my kennel. I may still be searching for my forever home, but I remain resilient in the face of adversity. I believe that there's someone out there who will see past the misconceptions and give me the chance I deserve. And when that day finally arrives, I'll be ready to shower them with all the love and loyalty my heart holds. Until then, I'll keep waiting, hoping, and dreaming of the day when I'll finally find my happily ever after. They call me the Fetch Master, and at seven years old, I've honed my skills to perfection. I'll bring that ball back to your feet if you're standing, or to your lap if you're sitting – I never miss a beat. I may have had a few dog meets, but let me tell you, my heart lies with humans. There's nothing quite like the joy of playing fetch or engaging in a game of tug-of-war with my favorite people. I'm not afraid to assert myself either; if male dogs try to dominate me, I'll set them straight with a firm correction. Toys and treats are my guilty pleasures, but beware of the plastic bowl – I have a tendency to snatch it up and initiate a game of keep away. And boy, am I fast! You'll have to keep up if you want to catch me. And when it's time to cool off, you can find me taking a refreshing dip in the kiddie pool, enjoying every moment of the splashing and fun. So, if you're looking for a loyal companion who's equal parts playful and spirited, look no further than me, Remi. Despite my time in the shelter, I haven't lost hope that the perfect forever home is out there, just waiting for me to find it. Energy Level: High I get along with: Dogs: unknown Cats: No Kids: Unknown Fears/Prey Drive:  None observed.  Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training:  No.  Please be prepared to work on my training at home. Leash Skills: Unknown. Please be prepared to continue with my training. House trained: No. Please assist training me where to go in my new home. Health Notes: I am healthy, neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. My adoption fee is $750 CAD plus taxes.  This includes my tranportation to Canada.
