English Setter puppies and dogs in Vancouver, British Columbia

URGENT! Due to a new law enacted in my country, the rescuers can't retain the refuge, so dogs need homes before the end of the year. Please help. Hello! My name is QUEENIE. Here is some info about me:Breed: English SetterAge: 12 yrsGender: FemaleWeight: 60 lbs (27 kg)Height: 23-1/2 inches (60 cm)Country of Origin: Republic of GeorgiaHighlights: obedient, bit anxious, tentative, inquisitive, devoted I'm a very devoted girl and am ready for a loving home! Could that be you? Read below to see if we're a good match!My rescuers heard my cries for help one day. They found me chained to a broken doghouse, I had no food or water. It was very hot and I had no shade. I was in a desperate situation, one might say. My current owner at the time had decided to cover me in motor oil as well, under the belief that it would get rid of mange. Fortunately, my rescuers took me home with them where they helped clean the oil off of me. My eyes were red and swollen, the smell of the oil was awful and was hard on my sensitive skin and nose.My previous owner had me chained up outside for most of my life, and saw me as an outside dog year around. I was allowed to accompany them on hunting trips, but apart from that, I was sentenced to a life chained up in a yard.Although I am 12, my previous owner still used me for breeding, doing so every 6 months to sell my pups. Fortunately my rescuers got me fixed to protect my health.When they brought me home, I was stiff from being chained up all the time. I was in a new environment and isolated myself from the other dogs in the home. My rescuer says I am good with dogs, I just needed some time to recover from my previous situation, so can be a little tentative at first.All this to say, I am very much ready for a loving home! I seek companionship, I want to accompany you on your errands, walks, adventures, and cuddles. I’m looking for a safe home, I promise to be very loyal, I will wait for you to return from the store, but I can get a bit vocal when anxious. I am very obedient off leash! I just want to be with a caring and compassionate owner. Also, being an inquisitive girl, I like to watch what you are doing. Maybe you can show me some tricks. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks, btw.Given my age, I no longer have the puppy zoomies, I have a low to moderate energy level. I would do best in a home that can meet all my needs (food, water, shelter, a dog bed inside perhaps?!?). I would be happy to hang with you while you watch tv, but would also love to come for walks and errands. Energy level: moderate-lowI get along with:Dogs: YesCats: UnsureKids: Yes Prey drive: Unknown. Adopter should to be willing to seek out training assistance should such issues arise.Fears: I was mistreated by my previous owner when they were intoxicated. Intoxicated behaviour triggers my fear. I lacked food and water in my previous home and my rescuer notes that I have been guarding my food. If there are other dogs around, please feed us separately. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training: house and leash manners, very well behaved off leash (once bonded.) Bonus Points!Leash skills: Yes. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: Yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home. Health Notes:I am spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and in good health.My adoption fee is $600.00 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. [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. ##2121491##

Hi, my name is PRINCESS, and here is a little info about me:Breed: English Setter mixAge: 1 yearGender: FemaleWeight: 75 lbs / 34 kgHeight: 27 inches / 68 cmCountry of origin: Middle EastHighlight(s): Friendly, intelligent, eager to learn, good with dogs & kids Thank you for taking a moment to get to know me, as I certainly want to get to know you!  Don't let my regal name deter you, as a spaniel, I wouldn't shy away from some muddy times while accompanying you on hikes, swims, and romps at the dog park! I spent the first few months of my life tied up on a short leash in a derelict building. The man who kept me there would often leave me alone. One day, a neighbouring lady heard my whimpers as she was passing by and found me in my sad state. Neglected and malnourished, it was hard for me to even stand up to greet her.As a dog owner herself, she felt compelled to help me, and began bringing me food. With her kindness, she quickly earned my trust. I guess I earned a spot in her heart too, because she found the owner of the building and advocated for my release from the “doggy jail” I was being kept in.  She brought me to the dog shelter I've been living in for about 9 months (since Oct 2023). Now thriving with care, I know there's more out there for me. My rescuer named me Princess because while I make friends easily (canine and human alike), I prefer to eat my meals alone, please and thank you. This display of resource guarding likely comes from receiving infrequent meals. I had to protect what little sustenance came my way.  When I adapt to routine care and love, it's expected I'll relax and understand I won't need to worry if/when I'll be fed again.I'm an intelligent girl who is eager to learn and understand what's expected of me.  This should make training much easier. The best kind of home for me would be one that offers some adventure time. Cuddles and relaxed time at home would also be fabulous! I'm pretty adaptable, so should fit into most home environments.Additional vids: https://youtube.com/shorts/7GqlHyiMIPQ?feature=share,  https://youtube.com/shorts/tPwesbzIjE4?feature=share, https://youtu.be/51WVtzQ5ur8?si=CgeqpyUyWif4-wbr,  https://youtu.be/ENvVy4t9knQ?si=MnsBNhkHsIK-SvZH.

I might even roll over to show my belly once I get to know you! My Social Life With People: I love meeting new friends! Whether you’re someone I know or a kind stranger, I’ll happily come over for pets and attention. I’m also gentle with kids and enjoy their company. With Other Dogs: I’m polite and friendly when meeting other dogs, though I usually prefer to do my own thing rather than play. If another dog gets too pushy, I’ll simply walk away. With Cats: I haven’t met any cats yet, so I’m not sure how I’d react. On My Walks Walks are one of my favorite things! I get excited about all the sights and smells, which sometimes makes me pull on the leash—I just can’t wait to explore! With consistent training, I’ll learn to walk nicely by your side.

Currently in a Toronto foster home! Hello! My name is Hoya, and I’m a 4-year-old female Golden Retriever-Jindo mix, weighing 27 kg (59 lbs). With my large, sturdy frame and calm, friendly nature, I’m a truly special companion. Rescued from a shelter in Korea just before being euthanized, I’ve been given a second chance at life and can’t wait to share it with my forever family. I’m a quiet dog who rarely barks, and I’m incredibly friendly with people—even strangers. I trust humans completely and am happy to let them pet me. While I get along with other dogs, I tend to prefer spending time alone or enjoying one-on-one attention with my humans. I’m non-aggressive and absolutely adore showing affection—it’s in my nature to love and be loved. I’m well-trained and know commands like “sit,” “wait,” and “house,” which I follow with ease. On walks, I’m the perfect gentleman: I stay calm, walk steadily beside my human, and don’t pull on the leash. I enjoy exploring the world at my own pace, sniffing around with curiosity, but loud noises or sudden movements don’t faze me. I love treats and am cooperative with grooming activities like baths and brushing. My greatest joy comes from being close to people and feeling their love and care. My gentle personality and warm heart make me a wonderful addition to any home. Are you ready to welcome a loyal, sweet, and affectionate dog into your life? I’m Hoya, and I can’t wait to meet you and brighten your days with my love!

Meet Margaret, a 1-year-old spayed female with a heart as golden as her fur! This sweet girl is a delightful mix of Golden Retriever and Welsh Corgi, with the gentle, expressive face of a Retriever and the charming, compact body of a Corgi. Weighing in at 16kg, she’s the perfect mid-sized companion for just about any home. Margaret’s journey hasn’t been easy—she was found alone in a deserted field where she was sadly being raised for meat consumption. Thankfully, a kind-hearted local stepped in and got her the help she needed. Despite her past, Margaret is full of love and trust, eager to share her affection with the world. She’s a social butterfly who adores people, whether familiar or new. Margaret loves to nuzzle up to everyone she meets, happily accepting pets and belly rubs—even offering up her belly to strangers with zero hesitation. She’s just as friendly with men as she is with women, and although she hasn’t spent time with children under 13, her sweet, affectionate nature suggests she’d do great with kids. You can even scoop her up by placing your arms under her belly—though fair warning, she may flop over in anticipation of being picked up! Margaret’s friendliness extends to her fellow canines too. She joyfully greets other dogs, whether they’re old pals or brand-new acquaintances, and invites them to play with her cheerful energy. She’s so popular that some dogs can’t help but follow her around, but Margaret never minds. Even if a dog pesters her or tries to stir trouble, she simply walks away—no drama here! She especially enjoys the company of dogs similar in size to her and has a knack for making friends wherever she goes. As for cats, Margaret hasn’t lived with one yet, but she’s gentle and non-aggressive, so a feline sibling could be a possibility with proper introductions. Margaret has a moderate energy level—she enjoys outdoor adventures but knows how to relax once she’s had her fun. She absolutely loves going on walks and gets a little excited at first, which might mean some light pulling, but overall, she follows her human well and is a joy to stroll with. This lovely girl doesn’t guard her food from people or other dogs, has no separation anxiety, and rarely barks. She’s calm in a kennel, does her business outside, and is ready to bring joy, laughter, and lots of cuddles to her forever home.
