Anatolian Shepherd puppies and dogs in British Columbia

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!

Meet Coco, a delightful 4-year-old American Foxhound eagerly awaiting her forever home! Coco is not just any ordinary dog; she's a sweetheart with a zest for life that's as infectious as her wagging tail.Coco is the epitome of charm and warmth. Her affectionate nature knows no bounds, and she'll happily shower you with kisses and cuddles the moment you meet her. She thrives on human companionship. Whether you're a seasoned dog owner or a first-timer, Coco's gentle demeanor and loving spirit make her the perfect addition to any family.Coco is a true adventurer at heart. She relishes every opportunity to explore the great outdoors, especially during long walks where she can indulge her curiosity and uncover exciting new scents. With her nose to the ground and her tail wagging with excitement, Coco is always on the lookout for the next big adventure. She will need to work on her pulling the leash as she does have a prey drive that has her charging after squirrels and cats. No cats or other small animals in the home is very important. While Coco may be overflowing with love and affection, she does struggle with separation anxiety, a common issue among shelter dogs. However, with patience, understanding, and a structured training routine, Coco is making great strides in overcoming her anxiety. She thrives in environments where she feels safe and secure, and with the right support system in place, she's sure to blossom into the confident and well-adjusted companion she was always meant to be.FOSTER UPDATE:Coco's made some HUGE progress!!She's been able to stay alone for the past few days!I worked hard to build her up to this, REALLY focusing on what things she goes for and just eliminating them out of her sight and reach, also making sure she's been well walked prior and has stuff to stimulate her (Kong filled with frozen peanut butter, treat puzzle etc.)I think her trust is deep now and she knows we will return, she's also best when she has full access to the upstairs and basement. We keep all other doors shut (kitchen, kids rooms, our room, bathrooms). Her fav spot is really on the couch staring out the window. She chewed the heck out of the blinds when they were down so her head could fit in and she could see, so we just keep them up now. I hope in time she can reduce that, but I see that being able to look outside and stare (she literally sits like an old man on the couch with her paw up and just stares)!Friday she was alone for 3.5 hours- no disasters at all, she was happy and tail wagging to see me, Sat and Sun alone time throughout the day 2 hrs, 1 hr etc. did very well, no issues. I just have to be diligent with making sure she's peed and has had a walk.Squirrel incidents continue, I had one where I was able to distract her enough but another where she legit pulled me across a field. Again, lucky I am strong because man she'd hurt a frail person or child with that pull. I witnessed her FULLY standing on her back legs walking around- nowhere for her front paws to go and she held her balance, it was wild. She's got such a strong prey drive. Squirrels #1, tiny birds #2 (doesn't mind crows), cats #3. Squirrels she'll whine, bark, pace, sniff, jump- whatever she can do. It takes time to get any kind of refocus for her so we can move on. I've spent up to 15 min's just bracing in one spot. Eager for help with this as I've never trained a dog with such a strong prey.She's also less velcro around the house, she'll settle on her own and sometimes just wait outside a door for me. She's very curious and loves the kitchen, she did eat all my sushi on Friday, it was on the counter for 5 sec's, I left the room and BOOM gone. She knew it was a no-no and went down the stairs in guilt. She had another pee on our bed this time, again, it was after she went FULL zoomies in the house (on her own accord) starting whipping her toys around and was just hyped up, had drank a TON of water before that and then just ran down and peed. I 'NO' it and took her outside right away. I realize when she has very excitable things this pattern can occur- it's not like it was when she first came (that few incidents), just trying to be mindful of her needs. Excite pee happens only with my one step daughter, just a few dribbles.She's getting better in the house at 'sitting' when greeting people, still work so she doesn't jump, but I'm seeing progress.She'll sit like a boss, I feel proud about that. She'll immediately come into the kitchen and sit as she knows it's the area where she gets treats OR where I prepare her Kong.FULLY trust her now to sleep upstairs, she either chooses to sleep in our room on our old dog's bed OR she goes upstairs and sleeps on the couch all night. I do the same things with locking everything down, but at night, once she settles, she doesn't get into anything.Please come into the shelter during visiting hours if you would like to meet me. You can also submit an application online if I am in foster or you would like to save some time when you come visit. While we do welcome online applications, in person meets have top priority.Our visiting hours are:Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday: 12-5Thursday, Public Holidays: closedSaturday, Sunday: 12-4 Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: Black Weight: 34.5 Age: 4yrs 3mths 3wks

Meet Skogal, The sweetest most loving girl. Skogal has finally been relieved of her mommy duties and is now looking for her forever home. This young girl is looking for a quiet calm home, that also has a bit of an active life style. When she first came in she was pretty nervous of the outside world. Now, she loves going for walks and exploring new places and smells!Skogal is the type of girl that loves to snuggle up on the couch and watch a good movie. Once she gets comfortable with you she will greet you with the biggest doggy smile ever. Skogal lived most of her life in a rural environment, so adjusting to the hustle and bustle of city life is has been a little difficult for her. She can be a little nervous at first at meeting new people, but once she warms up, she is the most loving, caring and playful little girl. If you are interested in adopting Skogal, please send the BCSPCA an online application today! Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 38 Age: 1yrs 7mths 0wks

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. Energy: moderate to highI get along with:Other dogs: yesCats: unknownKids: yes Prey drive: unknown/non-observed, my adopter needs to be willing to train me should these behaviors arise.Fears: Vacuum (pretty typical.) Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Training:Leash training: no. Please be prepared to train me.House trained: partially. I do my business on a pee pad. Please help me learn where to go in my new home. Health Notes:I am too young yet to be spayed/neutered, but I am vaccinated and microchipped. Spay/neuter will be the responsibility of the adopter and is required for my adoption to be finalized.My adoption fee is 800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes transportation to Canada, if 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. ##1910645##

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!
