German Shepherd Dog puppies and dogs in Squamish, British Columbia

*Currently fostered in Houston Texas, available for out of state adoptions via rescue transportation. Video meet and greet available prior to commitment* This dog is a collaborative effort between Moka's Mission and Houston Chow Chow Connection. Mocha is a fluffy mixed pup just eager to find her new lease in life. She was rescued from a kill shelter in Texas just moments before being euthanized. She is believed to be around 4 years old, and based on behaviors definitely has GSD, Chow Chow, and even possibly husky mixed in her as well. Current weight around 65, 70 lbs. Mocha is a smiling, eager to please, extremely intelligent pup who clearly has been desperate for reaching a potential that was never offered to her prior. She loves to play with toys now, ( was unfamiliar with on arrival) and can be quirky, and vocal during her playful bouts. A game of tug which result in some head pats is her favorite. She also is very smart, and when given attention and motivation is quick to learn. She already knows several basic commands including sit, shake, kennel, wait, settle, and leave it. She is extremely versatile and once she trusts you, will give you her best. If you want to go hiking or exercise, she is all about it. If you want a pup to relax in the home and enjoy a movie day, she is ready! She loves to curl up on the couch or at your feet when it's time to settle down, but when it's time to go she is the first one to be there and ready for you. She also loves to keep you company while you do the most menial house chore's such as laundry or dishes. Mocha clearly was kept away from other dogs and animals when she was owned previously, so we do think she'd be best as an only pup. Proper continued socialization training would be required in order for her to eventually be able to share space with other dogs, but she would need to be socialized as an only dog first before considering adding another in. She clearly has a desire to want to know other dogs and can walk by them and flirt while on leash just fine during walks. However, she hasn't had enough time and proper playmates to engage in playtime at present without being rough. Unfortunately, she is not ok with cats, which is to be expected of the breeds she possesses. Mocha is fully vetted meaning she is up to date on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped and on monthly prevention for flea, tick, and heartworm. Her adoption fee and transport is dependent on services used.

Meet Sam! Sam is a spirited 1-year-old shepherd and husky mix bursting with energy and charm.This playful guy loves to sing classic "husky songs," adding a musical touch to your day! He thrives in an active environment and would make a great adventure buddy. He is sensitive to handling, so he requires a patient family to slowly work on building trust. He is a very excitable boy, presenting jumpy and mouthy behaviour, especially when being harnessed up, so he will need an experienced home with no children to work on positive reinforcement. However, he is a very good walker, but does have a prey drive and will lunge at birds during walks. Due to this, he needs to go to a home with no other animals, and he is the centre of attention for all the love.If you're looking for a dynamic and entertaining companion, Sam might just be the perfect match for you!❤The more you add to your application about you and what you are looking for in a companion, the better we can match animals with adopters!

Hiya friends! My name is Raven and I am a LOCAL GAL(in Armstrong, BC)! Here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: German Shepherd (unknown litter/origin information) Age: approx. 2.5 years Gender: Female Weight: ~45 lbs **however I should be ~55 lbs - see health info below!** Current Location: Armstrong (currently being fostered by my friends at The Canine Hub) RESCUE STORY – My rescuer, Flo, found me running around on the highway in Armstrong. Flo pulled over and was fully equipped with leash and treats, thinking she'd have to try to coax me towards her and catch me... but much to her suprise, I ran right up to her! I was immediately friendly and trusting, so relieved to have found a caring human. I was wearing a collar but had no tags on. I was SUPERRR skinny and clearly malnourished. Flo asked around all the nearby homes but nobody claimed me as their own, so she took me home with her :) Over the next few days, my pals at The Canine Hub searched for my owners; posting in lost dog groups on social media. My previous owners were located a few days later, however they were unable to care for me, so The Canine Hub offered to take me in as a foster dog and to help find me a more suitable home. They have taken SUCH good care of me and have dedicated endless time and resources into finding the causes of my malnourishment (see HEALTH NOTES below). I am on my way to a healthy weight now and am ready to find my love-filled forever home!  TEMPERAMENT - I am a SUPER sweet, loving, loyal girl. I am extremely affectionate and love people! (video) We have yet to find a human I did not love, to be honest! I am gentle and affectionate around children and tend to be protective over the child's space (particularly if other dogs come near). I love my people of all ages and sizes! I enjoy the company of male dogs and can be quite neutral around them, however I should not go to a home with another female dog as I have shown some same-sex aggression (very common amongst female German Shepherds). When on pack walks with my fosters, I wear a muzzle around female dogs just as a safety precaution. If I were on a structured leash walk, I could be muzzle-free (although on-leash greetings with any dog should always be avoided as a general rule of thumb). I have struggled with resource guarding since I was rescued, but that has slowly been getting better as my health has improved. I can still be a bit snappy around food, purely due to my enthusiasm to be fed. I LOVE hiking and off leash exploring followed by some snuggles on the couch with my favourite human. I am the perfect combination of adventure buddy and cuddle partner! I am cuddly and calm when exercised appropriately and would love to do everything with you all day long for all the days to come! Seriously, I'm SUCH a people-pleasing dog! I have received tip top care at The Canine Hub where I get daily hiking adventures with other doggos, plenty of controlled socialization, and an opportunity to work on my general obedience skills. I am a very human-social girl though, so I really crave a home where I can have couch snuggles and a human's attention all to myself. MY IDEAL HOME: Single-dog household or a home with a neutral, male dog.  Adopters with German Shepherd breed experience. Daily hikes followed by couch snuggles with my human. Adopters who are financially stable and willing to continue my raw food diet and enzyme supplements (see HEALTH NOTES below). ENERGY LEVEL - Moderate - I require adequate daily exercise (hiking and responsible off-leash exploring are my fave!), but after that I am super happy to cuddle and snooze on your couch!  GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Yes! [Video] I have been around children and done very well, although I do show some protective tendencies around them - what can I say, I'm loyal to the core. I am VERY gentle and affectionate around children. When around a child, I do not enjoy other dogs especially entering the child's space.  As with ALL dogs, I should be supervised around children and my personal space should always be advocated for! Dogs – Male dogs, yes! I should be muzzled if off-leash around female dogs, as I have shown some same-sex aggression towards female dogs while staying in my foster home. With a confident handler, I can be quite neutral around other dogs. Cats – Dog-Savvy Cats, yes! [Video coming soon] I am happy to coexist with cats; there are 3 dog-savvy cats in my foster home who I see daily with no problems. PREY DRIVE - Low. Despite being a Shepherd, I have shown low prey drive for my breed; I do not chase cats or other smaller animals and show little interest in a lure toy. TRAINING:  I am house trained and crate trained! I have good recall and have been trained on a Mini Educator e-collar with The Canine Hub; making me extra reliable off leash. (video) My on-leash skills could still use some honing, although not too shabby. I know basic commands ("sit", "down") and am marker trained ("Yes", "No", "Break").  Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before taking their dog home.  HEALTH NOTES: When I was rescued, I was extremely malnourished, with all ribs, spine and hip bones showing clearly. My rescuers assumed it was because I hadn't had a meal in a long time, however once they started feeding me high calorie meals, I still wasn't putting on weight. I also had regular diarrhea and didn't seem to be absorbing any nutrients from my food. After extensive tests at the vet, I was diagnosed with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI); meaning that my body naturally lacks the digestive enzymes required for me to process food. As a result, these enzymes have to be manually added into each of my meals. This is a lifelong condition. As long as I receive my enzymes with each meal, I will be able to live a normal, long life with minimal symptoms from this condition. I currently take 1 tsp of Pancreatin from Enzyme Diane with each meal. The enzymes cost approx. $100/month. I am fed twice daily and am on a fully raw diet (approx. 2 lbs/day). Eating raw allows me to get the most nutrition out of my food and it is STRONGLY recommended that I remain on a raw-only diet for life. I am on rotating proteins of salmon/pork/duck/lamb/turkey. I do not have any known allergies but due to the EPI, it is recommended I not have a lot of additional treats outside of my meals as I cannot digest appropriately without the digestive enzymes. If there is a treat-heavy day, just mix in some enzymes so I can get the best of your tasty offerings! I am spayed and up to date on all vaccinations. I will continue to receive regular health checks from a vet while in the care of The Canine Hub.  ADOPTION FEE: My adoption fee is $616.00 CAD ($550 + 5% GST and 7% PST). Any travel costs associated with meeting me in Armstrong are to be paid for by the applicant/adopter. --------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Please visit wcpdogrescue.com to read about West Coast Paws Dog Rescue and it's adoption process.

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to Vancouver & Toronto💟 Meet Kuku🧡 Kuku is one of Danpoong’s five puppies.

Cooper is approx 2 years old, male and a mixed breed rescued as a puppy in Mexico. Cooper is well settled into life in Vancouver. He loves dog parks, doggy daycare and being on off leash adventures. A yard would be great for him as he can run for hours. An active owner will be best for Cooper, someone who will take him for outdoor trails and adventures. While cooper is social and friendly with everyone he meets, he is especially fond of women, perhaps because he was rescued and cared for by one. To apply to adopt Cooper please complete the adoption application on our website www.aboutadogrescuesociety.ca You can also find more video and photos of cooper there. Note: We are based in Vancouver and can only facilitate adoptions in our area or surrounding municipalities as part of our requirements is a home visit.
