Story
Hi, my name is Rocco, Male - neuteredBasenji MixApprox. 2 years oldI'm a pretty friendly guy when it comes to meeting new people. Adults, I'm your new best friend! I'm still on the fence about kids, though-so maybe we can figure that out together?I eat at a nice, normal pace, savouring every bite like the gourmet meal it is. And speaking of savouring, treats are my ultimate motivator! Want me to sit, stay, or fetch? Just show me a yummy snack, and I'm all ears. I am quite playful with toys too, so if you're ready for some fun, I'm your pup!I'll admit, my leash skills need a little polish. I might not be the most graceful walker on the block, but hey, that's where you come in! We can work on that together. When it comes to other four-legged pals, I've got potential! With a little guidance and patience, I'll be ready to mingle with dogs and cats alike. I'm a social butterfly in the making!I've got the basics down when it comes to obedience, so we're starting off on the right paw! I enter and exit kennels like a pro, but my crate and car ride skills are still a little mysterious. I'm ready for adventures with you, though-let's discover the world together!So, if you're looking for a pup with a big heart and a playful spirit, I might just be the one for you.

🐾✨ Meet Sori — A Sweet & Affectionate Shiba-Jindo Mix ✨🐾 📍 Location: Korea 🇰🇷 (able to fly once adopted ✈️) 🐶 Name: Sori 🎂 Age: 1.5 years old ♀️ Gender: Female ⚖️ Weight: 14 kg / 31 lb 🐕 Breed: Shiba Inu × Jindo Mix 🎨 Color: Brown ✂️ Spayed: Yes 💉 Health: Very healthy & fully vaccinated 🧡 Personality & Social Skills Sori is a sweet, affectionate girl who absolutely loves people. She may be a little shy and cautious when meeting someone for the first time and may bark briefly, but she adjusts very quickly—usually within an hour or two. Once she knows she is safe, she becomes incredibly affectionate and loves staying close to her person. 🥰 👩👨 With people: Friendly and affectionate with both women and men. 👶 With kids: May bark briefly when children are very loud or running around, but settles down once she gets used to them. 🐶 With dogs: Gets along well with other dogs, especially male dogs. She may growl if another dog approaches her aggressively or behaves rudely. 🐱 With cats: May chase cats but does not try to bite them. 🏠 Lifestyle & Training ✔ Medium energy ✔ 100% outdoor potty trained ✔ Very well crate-trained ✔ Walks well on a leash and harness ✔ Enjoys walks ✔ Travels well in the car ✔ Rarely barks ✔ No destructive behavior ✔ Apartment-friendly ✔ Yard not required ✔ Can live happily as the only dog Sori has good recall and comes back when called by name. Because she is accustomed to going potty outdoors, she needs regular outdoor walks at least twice a day if there is no fenced yard. ⚠️ Sori may try to walk out if a door is left open, so extra care should always be taken around open doors. A securely fenced yard is important if she has access to one. 🌈 Rescue Story During the winter, Sori’s mother, Deokja, was living beside a sewage ditch as a farm guard dog. In those harsh conditions, she gave birth to six puppies, including Sori. Their mother was suffering from heartworm disease, and all six puppies were struggling to survive while nursing from her in extremely poor conditions. There was not even a proper fence to keep them safe, and the puppies were at serious risk of falling into the sewage ditch. Because their lives were in danger, Sori and her siblings were rescued and given the chance to grow up somewhere safe. 🐾❤️ Today, Sori is a healthy, loving young girl who is ready to leave her difficult past behind. She is looking for a family who will give her the love, safety, and forever home she deserves. 🤎🐾 🏡 Sori is waiting for her forever family. ✈️🐶

She uses pee pads well and is also comfortable going potty outdoors. ✨ Leash walking: She can pull a little because she's excited to explore everything around her. The good news is that she responds very well when called and comes back promptly! ✨ Crate training: Currently practicing and making progress. ✨ Car rides: She rides relatively well, although she may drool a little. ✨ Barking: She may give an excited little bark when she's especially happy.

🐾 Meet Hodu! Looking for His Forever Family ❤️ 🐶 Name: Hodu 🎂 Age: Approximately 1 year old 💙 Gender: Male, neutered ⚖️ Weight: 9 kg (20 lbs) 🐕 Breed: Shiba Inu 💕 Hodu is an adorable, energetic Shiba Inu with a playful personality and lots of love to give! Hodu loves both people and other dogs. 🥰 Even when meeting someone new, he often approaches them to initiate play. He also loves being petted and enjoys showing affection to the people around him. He gets along well with children and loves running around and playing with his dog friends. Hodu is comfortable with human touch and enjoys baths and brushing. ❤️ He isn't a big fan of nail trimming, but he is learning to tolerate it without much resistance. 🏡 Things to Know Before Adopting Hodu Hodu is a high-energy boy who needs regular walks, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to burn off energy. He is still working on leash walking and potty training. When he doesn't get enough exercise and mental stimulation, he may bark to get attention or get into mischief around the house. However, once his energy has been properly released, he settles down nicely and can rest comfortably on his own in his crate. 💔 Hodu's Rescue Story Hodu was rescued from a rural home where dogs were bred, sold, and slaughtered for consumption. While living in a small, elevated wire cage, Hodu developed repetitive behaviors and began biting his own tail. His condition eventually became severe enough that his tail had to be amputated. Even now, Hodu occasionally spins around as if chasing his missing tail. However, this behavior does not significantly interfere with his daily life. Despite his difficult past, Hodu remains a loving, playful, and affectionate boy who enjoys being around people and other dogs. 🥹❤️ 🐾 What Kind of Family Would Be a Good Match for Hodu? ✔️ An active family who enjoys spending time outdoors and playing with their dog ✔️ A family committed to providing daily walks, exercise, and mental enrichment ✔️ A patient family willing to continue helping him with leash walking and potty training ✔️ A family who understands his past, supports his needs, and will love him unconditionally for the rest of his life Hodu deserves a life filled with freedom, love, and happiness. We hope he will soon leave his difficult past behind and discover what it means to be a cherished family member. 🙏💕 Hodu is waiting for a family who will love him forever. Could you be the one he's been waiting for? 🏡❤️ 📩 Please contact us for adoption inquiries and applications. #Hodu #ShibaInu #ShibaInuAdoption #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #RescueDogAdoption #ForeverHome #KoreanRescueDog #WelcomePawsRescue
