Canela is a gorgeous, brindle basenji/dachshund mix. She was found as a stray on the streets of Costa Rica. It wasn't safe so a local rescue took her into their care. Canela is 3 years old, playful with dogs, friendly with everyone, no cats as Canela likes to chase, and simply needs a forever home. She is spayed, utd vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, Snap 4dx negative, and vet checked. If interested, please email dcdgavel@gmail.com for an adoption application.

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. 💖

Story
🐾✨ Meet Rikko – A Spirited Sweetheart Who Loves Her Friends! ✨🐾 She was rescued from a dog meat farm in Yeoju, Korea, where she was the tiniest among 13 dogs facing a tragic fate. 📌 Basic Info ❤ Age: 1 year ❤ Gender: Female ❤ Weight: 29 lb ❤ Breed: Jindo mix ❤ Color: White with light brown ears 💛 Personality & Behavior ✔ Friendly with Women: Super affectionate – wags her tail and greets with love ✔ Friendly with Men: Just as affectionate – loves all people equally ✔ Kid-Friendly: Great with children – gentle and loves giving kisses ✔ Dog-Friendly: Extremely social – adores all dogs, big and small ✔ Cat-Friendly: Startled but shows no aggression when seeing cats ✔ Aggression: None ✔ Energy Level: High – loves to run and play, especially off-leash ✔ Handling: Very comfortable with being touched and handled ✔ Barking: Rare, though may bark at older men wearing hats ✔ Escape Tendencies: None, but still in leash/harness training ✔ Destructive Behavior: Normal puppy chewing – loves her wooden chew sticks 🏡 Training & Habits ✔ House Training: Fully pee-pad trained – very reliable indoors ✔ Crate Training: In progress – shows no resistance ✔ Leash Walking: Was initially scared, but now walks confidently ✔ Leash Reactivity: None – friendly to both dogs and people ✔ Car Rides: Calm and relaxed ✔ Food: Great appetite – enjoys kibble, duck, and salmon 🌟 Ideal Home Rikko thrives in the company of other dogs and would do wonderfully in a home with a friendly dog companion. However, she could also do very well as a solo pup with a loving human. A yard would be a bonus for her playful spirit, but she is also apartment-friendly as long as she gets enough activity and stimulation. 💖 Why Rikko is Special Rikko is playful, smart, and incredibly loving. Despite her difficult early life, she is full of joy and ready to bloom with her forever family. ✨ Adopt Rikko and help her begin a beautiful new chapter! ✨ 🤍🐾
