Story
Guksoo is still looking for a loving family He is currently fostered in Barrie, ON. Guksoo is a neutered Jindo mix boy who is about 4 years old.He can be shy at first, but slowly warms up over time, and tends to trust women more than men. Deep down he loves people and wants to be with them all the time! When he first came into his foster home, he was very shy but would timidly ask for pets by slowly pawing at the humans. Now, he has become more social and will come up to strangers with a wagging tail to ask for pets and treats! He still continues to paw at his foster parents when he wants attention, and loves to snuggle and give kisses first thing in the morning. He is okay and gentle with kids, but can be startled by sudden movements. After some time, good food, and lots of walks, he will open up and give you lots of kisses and hugs When it comes to other dogs, Guksoo LOVES to play! And especially loves girl dogs. He loves to run and play with his doggy friends and is excited to play with both new and familiar friends. With his foster sibling, he loves to groom her and give her lots of kisses. However, he is still learning that not all dogs like to play, especially on leash, and he can get a bit frustrated when he sees another dog on a walk that he cant say hi to. He is learning how to be neutral to other dogs while walking and responds well to his handler. He has a medium energy level, he loves going for walks and exploring, and rests well once at home. He has a low prey drive and ignores cats when he meets them while on walks, but sometimes likes to chase birds and squirrels. He is currently fostered with bunnies and lived with a cat for a short time, he is very gentle with them and leaves them alone after a quick sniff. On walks, Guksoo can be a bit excited at first but will eventually relax and walk by his handler’s side, occasionally stopping to sniff. He rarely pulls unless he sees another dog or a small animal but is easily redirected. He is fully potty trained outdoors. Guksoo Rarely barks, only when a stranger knocks on the door or if something new startles him. He has no destructive behaviours and can be left alone in the home without any issues. He loves to chew and enjoys playing with his chew toys or a long lasting treat.  Will you welcome this sweet boy into your family?

Story
Meet Tommy, a 1-2-year-old neutered male Jindo/lab mix with a handsome brown coat, weighing 16.5kg. Rescued from a city shelter, this independent yet playful boy is looking for a home that appreciates his unique personality and adventurous spirit. Tommy isn’t the type to shower strangers with instant affection—he’s more of a “cool guy” who keeps to himself at first. He won’t go out of his way to greet new people, but if you offer him a treat, he’ll gladly accept it and warm up. Once he decides you’re worth his time, he’ll let you pet him, but at the end of the day, he’s mostly interested in what he wants—food, playtime, or exploring his surroundings. Think of him as a teenage boy with a mind of his own! When it comes to other dogs, Tommy is enthusiastic and eager to interact. He approaches new friends with confidence, sometimes a bit too much! He plays well with dogs who enjoy rough-and-tumble fun, especially those his size or larger, but his bold style can be overwhelming for more reserved dogs. He tends to ignore smaller dogs and doesn’t get along well with other males who act tough despite being weaker. His experience with cats is limited, but he watches them with curiosity during walks. However, if his handler guides him away, he follows without resistance. A cat test can be arranged if needed. Tommy has a moderate energy level—he enjoys outdoor adventures but knows how to relax afterward. Since he’s still young and loves to burn off energy, he’d do best with an active owner who can keep up with his playful spirit. Off-leash, Tommy has his own agenda and may not always come when called. But once on a leash, he transforms into an attentive companion, making good eye contact and engaging well with his handler. While he’s still building confidence in new environments, overall, he walks nicely and follows his person’s lead. Food is a big motivator for Tommy, and while he doesn’t guard his own meals, he’s quick to try and grab food from another dog if given the chance. If the other dog objects, a scuffle could break out, so supervision during mealtime is recommended. He’s crate-trained and generally prefers doing his business outdoors. If you’re looking for an adventurous and playful companion who brings both independence and charm, Tommy might just be the perfect fit for you!

Story
Meet Bappul, who has a sweet and affectionate personality and a heart full of love. He is a 5-month-old neutered male Jindo mix with a beautiful white coat, currently weighing 6.7kg. Bappul was found alongside his four siblings on a hillside in South Korea this past February, and he is now looking for a forever home! Bappul is a friendly companion who enjoys the company of both familiar faces and new acquaintances. While he has recently started to bark at strangers, he quickly warms up within about five minutes, revealing his cautious yet curious nature. He interacts well with children under 13, and he is comfortable being gently hugged and lifted by placing your arms under his belly. Once he feels comfortable, he happily shows his belly as a sign of trust. Bappul approaches unfamiliar dogs politely, though he may not engage in play immediately. Given a little time, he becomes more relaxed and enjoys socializing. He tends to prefer one-on-one or small group interactions over large gatherings. Generally, he feels more at ease with dogs of similar or smaller size, as larger dogs can make him a bit nervous. Bappul has experience living with cats and genuinely enjoys their company — a great fit for households with feline companions! While Bappul gets playful zoomies with his favorite friends, he tends to be quite relaxed when alone, often opting for naps. For a puppy, he exhibits a notable level of calmness. Bappul does have a tendency to pull on the leash, but he responds well to guidance and follows his human’s lead. He’s very interested in exploring scents, often stopping to sniff around during walks. Bappul isn’t possessive over food and doesn’t have a strong appetite. He is generally quiet and composed, only barking in specific situations, such as when a cat he lives with displays hostility towards him. Recently, he has started barking when he hears the doorbell. He’s calm when placed in a crate and uses outdoor spaces for bathroom breaks during the day and indoor pads at night. If you are looking for a gentle, friendly companion, Bappul could be the perfect addition to your family! ##2382150##
