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
Juju's owner has passed away and she needs a new homeShe's currently in NANAIMO, BC *** She’s currently taking Methimazole for thyroid neoplasia, over 85% chance it is malignant. Please donate to our GoFundMe for her Thyroid Neoplasia Treatmenthttps://gofund.me/2caa80e5 She's a Jindo mix spayed girl, about 9 years old and 13 kg Juju likes people, and will follow you well once she gets to know you. She will need time because she can feel awkward to meet strangers in unfamiliar environments. She has good walking manners, but is sometimes afraid of cats or birds. Juju is gentle and quiet, and hardly barks in vain. She plays well alone with her toy ball. As she doesn’t know how to hang out with other dog friends, she needs some time to get along with other dogs. No other dogs or cats in the home will be ideal. She really doesn’t like it if someone suddenly touches her tail, privates, paws or her side. She eats dog food well and is ok self-feeding. Her favourite snack is chicken breast, dried duck wings and dried pollack. Ready to meet Juju?
