Anatolian Shepherd puppies and dogs in British Columbia

PLEASE HELP. Turkey is voting in an amendment on street dogs. Once passed, within two years, there will be no street dogs in Turkey. We will be collected up and placed in shelters, where we will remain for the rest of our life, unless we are adopted. Turkey shelters are crowded, disease ridden, with no vaccination programs. This is the future I face, if I am unable to find a home. My name is TEKYLA (Toffee) and here is a little info about me:Breed: Anatolian Shepard mixAge: 9 mo (0724)Gender: feWeight: 23 kgHeight: 63 cmCountry of origin: TurkeyHighlight(s): cautious, sociable, affectionate, gentle, kisser I love the company of humans and am very affectionate and gentle. I give the best cuddles. I go up on my back legs and wrap my front legs around your waist - then will shower you with kisses.  In November 2023, I was found abandoned in the forest, at only 6 weeks old. I was with my 6 siblings (1 of whom was already dead). My rescuers  moved me and my siblings to a garden park.In January 2024, me and my siblings started to show signs of becoming ill, distemper was diagnosed and another one of my siblings died. I successfully fought the disease, undergoing  eight weeks of immune boosting treatment. In March, the volunteers arrived to find me looking very poorly and another of my siblings, dead in the pen. The vet diagnosed we had eaten something toxic. My x-ray showed that I also had a blockage. I remained at the vets for a few days of treatment and eventually passed the blockage. Only a few days after returning back to the park, me and my siblings became ill again – this time parvo was diagnosed, and we all spent about a week at the vets having intensive treatment. Once again recovering.I returned again to the park in March and quite quickly, I started to show signs that I was uncomfortable sharing a pen with my litter mates. I was separated until I was spayed.Once recovered, I was allowed to spend time “free running” in the forest with my siblings and some of the older dogs that have lived in the forest for many years. After a week or so, it was felt that I had settled into my life and was released to join the others.Only a few days after being released full time however, I had a few incidents with my siblings - initiating fights, and sustaining a wound, which became infected. As a result, I was penned on my own. What a miserable existence with no canine company and human volunteers only visiting for a short period of time, once a day.Initially, I take a while to “warm up". I am cautious/nervous of people I am not familiar with and also new things. Once I get to know you though, I am the most beautifully friendly girl. Sociable with humans and other dogs. I have never had an incident or issue with the older dogs at the park, I enjoy playing with them and spending time with them. The only issue seems to be sibling rivalry. My rescuers are confident I could live happily with older dogs, of any size, but likely would not tolerate sharing my space with a dog of the same age. I should have no problem sharing my space with a younger dog/puppy, as I love the ones here. Currently, I am excitable when I first greet you, but that’s purely due to the fact I am penned alone, desperate for some company and have a lot of energy to burn off. Once I have a routine at home, I should settle down though. Us Anatolians are generally pretty mellow most of the time, with burst energy. I am obedient and just want to please. You'll see I am a very clever girl and enjoy all my training sessions.You'll find I am a very pretty girl, with an unusually “wavy” coat. With an uncertain future ahead, I am hoping to get to Canada. My safety and my life depend upon it. Videos comjng soon. Energy Level: moderate highI get along with:Dogs: yes. But older dogs best, no similar aged onesCats: unknownKids: unknown Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training:Leash skills: unknown. Please be prepared to train me.House trained: No. Please help me learn! Health notes: Distemper and Parvo survivor.I have been spayed, 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. 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.

Meet our new sweetie, Daisy!Daisy came to us on our transfer program Drives for Lives from up North. This girl originally came in to care because her original guardians could not provide her with the time or care she deserved. Daisy was frequently kept in the yard unattended for long periods of time and would often escape and roam. Daisy-Do is as lovely as she is pretty - who could say no to those golden eyes!? She knows how to sit and shake a paw, and loves to go on long adventurous walks where she can sniff to her hearts content. She walks like a dream and has been doing amazing learning to walk on a harness. Just like with us humans, Daisy is not a fan of every single dog she meets, but she has certainly has had canine friends in the past. She would need a slow introduction to new dogs friends in any future home. She seems to LOVE the attention of people, though! We've even discovered that she adores being brushed.Daisy has prey drive, and should not live with any small animals or cats. She's a sweetheart who is eager to please and is thrilled to get attention from staff and volunteers alike. As Daisy is new to us, we are still learning more about her each day!If you are also interested in learning more about Daisy, drop in for a visit from 12pm-3pm Tuesday to Sundays, OR fill out an application online!

Due to the present confrontational Middle East environment where this dog resides, airlines are minimally operating. He/She may therefore be delayed in arriving to Canada. He/She will eventually be sent, but we have no specified timeframe at this moment. If you are willing to wait, we and this dog appreciate your patience. Hello everyone, I'm Angelina and here is a bit about me:Breed: Anatolian shepherdAge: 7 monthsGender: femaleWeight: 60 poundsHeight: 40 cmHighlights: playful, loves kids, young & learning Adding Jolie at the end would be appropriate, because I am super pretty. That wouldn’t make me very one of a kind though now, would it? Aren't I adorable, I resemble a Swiss Valais sheep.So this is my story. A wonderful lady found my brother and I taped up in a cardboard box outside of a pet clinic. She is thinking either our mom passed away or someone separated us from her. Nobody knows. Thankfully, she was walking her own dog, a beautiful Samoyed, when he started barking and leading her towards our box. She opened the box and found us packed in there. We were both very scared, but also very grateful to be found.She took us home and has been taking care of us ever since. We have been bottle-fed from the first day that we were found. It's been a couple of months that we have been able to eat solid food along with our milk. I am really looking forward to becoming a Canadian citizen soon and being the sweet little girl I am in a loving family.I am extremely playful, but I'm also a lady. I do like to play though, but I'm definitely the calmer sibling, though I do harass my bro over food a tad. Pretty much like human brothers and sisters. It would be great if we found a home together. Our fee would be reduced, if so.I get along very well with other dogs and with kids. I absolutely love children, because they like to play with me and I’m just a baby, so I love to play. I especially love playing with balls. I am currently staying in a boarding facility, so I am being socialized with other dogs as well as more people.I am really looking forward to a new family that will be able to keep me forever. I am hoping that you will be the one to make our dreams come true. Love, Angie.

My name is Brad, and here is some info about me:Breed: Anatolian Shepherd mixAge: 7 monthsGender: maleWeight: 62 poundsHeight: tbdHighlights: playful, food motivated, dog interactive I was found in the Middle East by a very sweet lady and her Samoyed dog outside of a vet clinic. I was taped up in a box along with my sister. Thankfully, her dog was able to sniff us out and lead her to us. We were both crying, and were extremely scared. Clearly someone had separated us from our mom. The lady was thankfully able to take us back home and nurse us back to health. We were slowly introduced to solid food after a few weeks and we love it! Especially me! My sister is more of a lady. I honestly think deep down she loves the food as much as I do, but doesn’t like to show it.I am extremely playful and love playing with my ball. I sometimes like to play with my big brother (the Samoyed) but he’s usually not in the mood to play with me and like I said, my sister can be a little stuck up. Even so, it would be great if we were adopted together. Our fee would be reduced, if so.I am scared of busy streets and cars. Can't blame me there, the cars zipping around are dangerous. With time and training that should improve though. I do know how to use a pee pad and have had a teeny bit of work on leash. I'm quite young, so will need full training yet.I love other dogs as you can see, I've had a lot of practice with my sister. https://youtube.com/shorts/v9KNuegdA5w?si=ReUELjDitm2dbXLp Love to have an opportunity to come to Canada!
