My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Current Location: Korea 🇰🇷
🐶💛 Meet Nilla – A Loving and Energetic Golden Mix Girl 💛

🐾 Name: Nilla
🎂 Age: Estimated 7–8 months
🚺 Gender: Female
⚖️ Weight: 19 kg (≈ 42 lbs)
🐕 Breed: Golden Retriever Mix

💛 Personality & Charm

Nilla is a sweet, affectionate, and energetic girl who loves people more than anything!
She’s always wagging her tail, eager to be near her humans, and full of puppy joy. 🩷

She’s an active, happy girl who thrives with attention, play, and daily adventures. 🌳🐾

Adults: Absolutely loves everyone she meets.

Children: Great with kids but may be too energetic for very young children — she sometimes jumps or playfully nibbles when excited.

Dogs: Gets along wonderfully with other dogs! She loves to play, though can be a bit rough with large dogs. She’s gentle with puppies and adjusts her energy. She may get a little jealous if another dog approaches while she’s being petted.

Cats: Very curious and approaches without fear. If a cat acts aggressively, she may bark or get excited, but otherwise coexists fine.

🚽 Potty Training

Nilla is about 80 % outdoor-trained and improving fast.
She uses pee pads when indoors, though prefers going outside.
Her foster expects that as she matures, she’ll become fully outdoor-trained.
👉 A family who can take her for 3 short walks a day would be ideal.

🚶‍♀️ Walks & Leash Manners

Nilla loves walks! She may pull slightly at the beginning until she relieves herself, but she calms down quickly.
When she sees other dogs or cats, she can get excited — but if you hold the leash firmly and ask her to sit, she listens right away.
She’s food-motivated, smart, and learns quickly. ✨
With consistent training, she’ll become a wonderful walking companion.

🏡 Home Life & Behavior

No separation anxiety

Chews on toys or wooden sticks when alone — please keep small or unsafe items out of reach

Has never chewed furniture or walls

Loves to be touched and cuddled 🤗

A bit scared of grooming (baths, nail trimming, ear cleaning), but she stays calm and never bites. She’s learning to trust and improving every week.

💔 Rescue Story

Nilla was rescued from a city shelter’s euthanasia list.
She nearly lost her chance at life, but thanks to rescuers’ love and care, she was saved and is now ready to find her forever family.


Nilla is full of love, intelligence, and joy.
She’s ready to bring endless affection and smiles to the family who opens their heart to her. 💛

Adopt Nilla and let her bright spirit light up your home. 🐾

Additional adoption info

At Welcome Paws Rescue, our adoption process is designed to ensure the best possible match between our dogs and their future families. After submitting the application form on our website, our team will review your information to determine if your home and lifestyle align with the needs of the dog you're interested in. If your application is a good fit, we will contact you to schedule a phone or video interview. This is followed by a reference check and, in many cases, a virtual or in-person home visit. Once approved, we’ll work with you to finalize the adoption and arrange transportation or pick-up. Our goal is to support both our dogs and adopters throughout the entire process to ensure a smooth and successful transition.

More about this rescue

Welcome Paws Rescue is a registered nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, run entirely by a passionate team of volunteers who are deeply committed to the welfare and well-being of animals. Our mission is to rescue dogs in need and give them a second chance at life.

We believe every animal—regardless of age, size, or breed—deserves to experience love, safety, and the comfort of a forever home. Through our rescue efforts, we work to create brighter futures for these deserving animals, ensuring they have the opportunity to live happy, healthy lives.

Our dedication goes beyond rescue. We work tirelessly to save stray, neglected, abused, and at-risk shelter animals. Each dog in our care lives in a loving foster home and receives full medical attention before being matched with a permanent family.

We also strive to raise awareness about the importance of compassion and responsible pet ownership. By providing adopters with quality education and support, we ensure each adoption is successful and lasting. We don’t measure success in numbers—but in the positive, life-changing impact we make for both animals and the families who welcome them home.
