Updated Laila posting

Laila
Female Spayed
1 year
Location: Vancouver Lower Mainland
Kids: No
Dogs: Possibly with slow introduction
Cats: NO

Hi all !! It’s Laila here. The foster lady wanted you to know what’s going on in my life, so let’s cut to the chase. I love my life. I love getting up in the morning, I love my breakfast and my morning walk. I love my good girl treats and my naps, I love my afternoon walks and dinner ! Then, at the end of the day, I love bedtime. Foster lady says she has never seen a dog that loves bedtime like I do !!! Life has been pretty good 🥰

In the last 3 months, I have learned that the strange people I see on my walks are not that scary. I don’t bark at them anymore, and foster lady says I no longer get ‘bristley’. That means no hackles, and this is good ! It means I can spend more time sniffing instead of worrying . Did I mention I love sniffing ??? Well, I do 💙🐾

I went for a car ride, and that was lots of fun !! We visited the vet to get weighed ( I’ve gained 5 lbs !!) , and we went to the pet store where they store all the good stuff ! I met 3 new people and I really liked them . They pet me and gave me good girl treats. Foster lady says I was a rock star 🥰

I still want to meet all the dogs I see, but we avoid them , or watch them from a safe distance . ‘Look, no touch’ is what the foster lady says. Works for me !! The foster lady lady says I have a high prey drive, and I think that has something to do with how excited I get when I see squirrels !!! Or birds, or cats !!!🐱. Apparently, this is what’s called a ‘work in progress’ 😉

So anyway, that’s what going on with me. Foster lady says I am the happiest boxer ever, and that I am a pretty smart cookie. Did I mention that I love cookies ???? I do !!!! 🦴🦴🦴

I know this last 3 months has just been a short chapter in my life , and there is still so much more to learn with my furever family. I know you’re out there !!! To meet me is to love me 💙

Love,

Laila 🐾💕🐾

LAILA !!!

Although this little girl has captured our hearts, she really needs a home to call her own.
Laila has shown us how happy and willing she is to learn new things. She knows her name well, and comes joyfully to come, sit, down and stay/wait.
She happily crates when asked, but does initially cry when left. She has not shown any destructive tendencies when left for short times in the house, but it is best to make sure the kitchen counters are clear of goodies 😊

For inquires regarding Laila, please email [email protected]

Edit to add :

Laila is located in the Lower Mainland, BC Canada

Training will be provided by Dogsmart Training in Vancouver.
If you adopt Laila you need to committ to the training program at Dogsmart.

We are learning more about Laila and what she needs. She is sweet, she is cute and yes she is young. What she needs is someone to allow her the opportunity to learn at her pace and allow for her to have good experiences.

This little girl will not be adopted to a home with young children. She has fear to young kids. She is unsure of new people and takes time to get to know them. She is tiny and timid and lacks confidence. Out on walks she is alert and gets nervous seeing other dogs and people out on walks. However she is easily redirected. She needs to know she is good girl and needs to know when she does well.

Laila gets overwhelmed easily. She is a super special girl looking for the right home. This home needs to be patient. Take things slow. Literally slow like molasses. Rushing her into situations just sets her back and creates more stress for her and knocks down her confidence. She will shut down. She needs to be allowed to come to you on her terms. You will need to build her trust. You will need to crate train. She likes her crate. It's her comfort area.

Laila needs a fully fenced yard. She will need someone to be with her outside and not be left unattended. She is fearful so if she gets spooked she will run and never look back. Saying this Laila isn't a dog park dog. She isn't going to be walked off-leash. She isn't going to like to wrestle or rough play. She needs someone who can give her time, patience and someone who will strictly follow the 2 week shut down.

For your reward of patience Laila will pay you with lots of love and grow into an amazing dog and a wonderful companion. She just needs someone to help show her how to be a dog.

We will only be considering local adoptions at this time due to the limited volunteer abilities.

Training will be provided by Dogsmart Training in Vancouver. If you adopt Laila you need to committ to the training program at Dogsmart.

Happy Giving Tuesday!

I know that our group page has been rather quiet lately, with fewer dogs coming in compared to before. However, we currently have some dogs in desperate need of homes. Despite this our focus for Giving Tuesday is not on our rescue efforts but rather on giving back to our local community. To continue our tradition, our volunteers are gathering donations for Charlie's Food pet food bank in Downtown Eastside.

Charlie's provides free and low-cost pet services for individuals who are homeless, living outdoors, low-income, and senior pet guardians in Downtown Vancouver. The initiative was established to enhance the lives of pets in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside and is named after a malnourished dog named Charlie. Unfortunately, despite three weeks of intensive care at the SPCA hospital, Charlie couldn't be saved and passed away.

For this Giving Tuesday, we encourage you to consider making a donation to RAB's annual support of Charlie's pet food bank. You can contribute directly through e-transfer at [email protected] or via Paypal.

Donations of $25 or more will receive a tax receipt.

Your support means a lot to us, and together, we can make a positive impact. Thank you!

Meet the sweet George St. Pierre! ❤ This LARGE guy is looking for an active home where his guardian(s) are just as fit as him.
He’s a happy go-lucky kinda guy that does get easily over excited at times. He will need lots of exercise and outings with guardian. George has previously lived peacefully with other female dogs but hasn’t done well with other male dogs. We don’t recommend to a home with very young children due to his size, exercise requirements and excitability. We don’t know if George St.Pierre has ever been around other types of animals before (i.e cats, horses) so his future guardian(s) will need to be prepared to do proper, controlled introductions and have a plan in place if he’s struggling and requires more time adjusting. Could George be the one for you? Visit https://adopt.spca.bc.ca/pets/476325/ to learn more.
