Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to Vancouver & Toronto💟 Meet White🤍 💙 Adogs Update Account: @_adogs_ 1⃣ Health Condition * Neutered. * Microchipped, heartworm negative, and dental scaling completed. * Has received dental scaling, but due to significant tooth staining, the teeth don’t appear very clean. One or two canine teeth are slightly chipped, but there is no nerve damage, so no immediate treatment is necessary. 2⃣ Rescue Story * White spent time at a dogslaughter farm in Juksan, where he witnessed his fellow dogs being killed right before his eyes. He lived in constant fear, but when Adogs shut down the farm, he was finally given a second chance at life. 3⃣ Basic Information * With People: Is a bit shy. Approaches to sniff and sticks around familiar people, but runs away if you try to touch him. If you corner him a bit so he can’t run away, he accepts being petted. Is okay with familiar people touching him at any space! You can minimize the time it takes to get closer to him with treats. Although he isn’t yet affectionate with people, he’s in the process of opening his heart and will get close to people quickly once he lives in a family home. * With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs and does not cause issues. Is not particularly interested in approaching new dogs first. Seems to prefer smaller-sized dogs and plays well with familiar companions. * With Cats: It is unclear how he will react as he hasn’t met cats yet. * Separation Anxiety: Not confirmed as he is currently living in a group setting at our center. * Potty Training: Does only outdoor pottying at our center. * Hygiene: Runs away when you try to take care of him but once you catch him and start petting and brushing him, he stays still and enjoys it. * Walks: Gets a bit nervous when walking outside so it’s recommended to take him out to quiet and familiar places. Doesn’t pull on the leash but tends to get stubborn when something scares him. * Car Sickness: Is comfortable with riding in a car without motion sickness. * Nip: Doesn’t bite, even defensively. * Bark: Rarely barks, but has copied other dogs if they bark when visitors come to the center. * Like: Likes treats so much that he sometimes overpowers his fear of people! * Dislike: Becomes wary and frightened of unfamiliar people, vehicles, or external stimuli.

Story
Current Location: Korea 🇰🇷♡ 🐶✨ Meet Sinbi – The Gentle and Loving Jindo Mix with a Mother’s Heart 💕 🐾 Name: Sinbi 🎂 Age: 2 years 🚺 Gender: Female (Spayed) ⚖️ Weight: 11.5 kg (≈25 lbs) 🐕 Breed: Jindo Mix 🎨 Color: Cream White 💉 Health: Fully vaccinated / Spayed / Healthy 💗 Personality & Charm Sinbi is a warmhearted and affectionate girl who always knows how to make others feel comfortable. She loves people — especially younger adults — and quickly bonds even with strangers after a few treats. 🍪 When she’s happy, she wiggles her whole body and rolls over for belly rubs! 💞 She’s gentle and considerate toward other dogs, often giving up her spot or toy for them. She’s the type of dog who brings calm energy and kindness wherever she goes. 🌷 Very curious but gentle. If a cat swats at her, she immediately backs off and pretends nothing happened. 😄 🏡 Training & Habits 🚽 Potty: Both indoor (artificial grass on balcony) and outdoor trained 🧺 Crate: Learns well! Feels uneasy when the door is closed but settles down soon and naps quietly. ⚡ Energy Level: Moderate indoors / Playful when with dog friends 🤲 Handling: Loves being touched and petted 🚗 Car rides: Enjoys going out but may drool slightly — rests her chin by the window for fresh air 💬 Barking: Rare, only in response to unusual sounds 🐾 Separation: No anxiety, prefers sleeping in the same room as her person 💔 Her Rescue Story Sinbi was rescued from Gokseong Shelter with her three puppies. After two other mother dogs passed away there, Sinbi took in seven orphaned pups as her own, nursing and protecting them all until they were safe. 🥺 When her puppies were weaned, Sinbi herself was placed on the euthanasia list — but rescuers couldn’t leave behind this brave and gentle mom, so she and all her babies were saved together. 💕 🌼 Sinbi’s Ideal Family Sinbi would be perfect for a loving family who values calm companionship and gentle affection. She’s social, loyal, and incredibly nurturing — a true sweetheart with a heart of gold. If you’re looking for a dog who will quietly stay by your side and love you endlessly, Sinbi is waiting for you. 💖
