Story
BELLA had a home and her family surrendered her to a rescue in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Juno's Den and Huellitas Diferentes decided to help her find a home in the PNW. She is an extremely shy pup initially who needs an experienced handler and someone knowledgeable about her breed. She gets along well with most dogs, but can be selective at times. Therefore, she will do better as an only dog. She is very affectionate and cuddly. Loves to play fetch and run. Bella will do best with an active, all adult family, and a fully fenced yard. She is housebroken and crate trained. She doesn't have separation anxiety but prefers to be around her people. ##2122004##

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to SEA💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet White🤍 ​💙 Name: White 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 3 years old (Born in September 2022) 💙 Weight: 13.6 kg / 30 lb 💙 Adogs News Account: @_adogs_ ​1. Health Condition * ​Neutered. * Microchipped, and heartworm negative. * Has received professional dental scaling, but due to severe staining, his teeth may not appear perfectly white. One or two canines are slightly chipped, but since the nerves are not damaged, no immediate treatment is required. ​2. Rescue Story * ​White was rescued from the Juksan dogslaughter farm. He endured the trauma of witnessing his friends being slaughtered before his eyes until Adogs successfully shut down the farm and brought him to safety. ​3. Basic Information * ​With People: Is a bit timid and wary of strangers, but you can easily win him over with some tasty treats! Once he gets to know you, he will come close to sniff around, linger nearby, and even let you touch them inside his kennel. However, since physical touch is still a bit unfamiliar, he might run away if you try it in an open area. Perhaps due to a painful past, he trembles and gets scared when you try to pick him up, but he is showing steady improvement compared to when he was first rescued. * ​With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs. Isn't the type to rush up to new dogs, but plays and runs around happily with his familiar furry friends. Plays very well with doggy friends in the playground. * ​With Cats: Tends to bark when spotting a cat. * ​Separation Anxiety: Unknown, as he currently lives in a group setting at our center. * ​Potty Training: Currently only relieves himself outdoors at our center. * ​Hygiene: Spins in circles to get away from the brush. * ​Walks: Is still getting used to leash walks and can be a bit nervous. We recommend walking in quiet, familiar areas. Is not fond of having a leash put on and spins in circle. However, once he’s out, he walks well and slowly, sniffing. Needs patient, consistent practice. * ​Car Sickness: Travels well without any motion sickness. * ​Biting: Has never shown any defensive or territorial biting. * ​Barking: Sometimes joins in when other dogs bark at visitors. Is very food-motivated and may sometimes bark when he wants treats. * ​Likes: Loves treats! His motivation for food often helps him overcome his fear of people. Likes and gets along great with his friend #AdogsYooah. * Dislikes: Is wary and fearful of strangers, sudden touches, and unfamiliar external stimuli. * Personality: Is shy around people but is bright and gets along great with other dogs. While he doesn't show affection or approach people eagerly just yet, he is slowly opening the heart. We believe he will blossom even more in a loving home environment!

💙 Name: Klein 💙 Gender: Female 💙 Age: Estimated 6 years old (Born in July 2020) 💙 Weight: 9 kg / 19.84 lb 💙 Klein's News Account: @klein___55 1️⃣ Health Condition * Spayed. * Microchipped and heartworm negative. * Diagnosed with a benign sialocele (salivary gland cyst) under her neck. Veterinary evaluation confirmed it requires no special treatment or major concern. 2️⃣ Rescue Story * Klein was originally rescued as a young puppy alongside four siblings from a slaughterhouse in Jeongeup and moved to the local shelter. A year later, when the siblings and Klein were placed on the euthanasia list, Adogs stepped in to urgently rescue all four of them. 3️⃣ Basic Information * People Reaction: Slightly fearful of people, but has high curiosity and affection. Will approach strangers to sniff them, with overall responsiveness continually improving. Still wary of adult men and may hide behind the guardian, but has become comfortable enough with a familiar middle-aged man to run up to him for treats. Greets the guardian with a wagging tail and affection; showed little interest in young children. * ​Dog Reaction: At dog cafés, mostly stays near humans, occasionally visiting liked dogs to sniff them. Dislikes overly pushy or clingy dogs. Dislikes sharing a stroller with another dog, but shows no severe rejection. * ​Cat Reaction: Excitement around cats has decreased significantly, but may still try to chase them during walks, so sudden leash tension requires caution. * ​Separation Anxiety: Showed symptoms of separation anxiety, but is improving. Still tries to open doors or search for the foster caregiver, though can now rest comfortably on the couch alone. May chew on the shoe rack when left alone due to lingering anxiety. * ​Potty Training: Recently started doing indoor pottying. Has a 90% accuracy rate when pads are laid out, though aiming isn't always precise. Strongly prefers outdoor pottying. * ​Grooming & Hygiene: Tolerates baths and brushing well despite not loving them. Runs away from hair dryers, toothbrushes, and nail clippers out of fear, requiring two people to manage. Brushing goes smoothly when held on the floor. Sheds during summer and winter. * ​Walking: Enjoys running and playing, but has an escape instinct and may try to dash out when doors open. Using a double leash (collar + harness) is recommended. Sensitive to heat and tires quickly on summer walks. ​* Motion Sickness: No motion sickness, but gets scared of evening neon signs and lights, seeking comfort in human arms. * ​Biting / Chewing: Has never shown aggression toward people, but tends to chew on electrical cords or wire doors. Once showed a defensive warning nip toward another dog while eating. * ​Barking: Howls after the foster caregiver leaves, and may whine briefly out of joy upon their return. * ​Likes: Chicken breast meat sticks and walks. Loves plush, cozy spots and enjoys chewing hard objects like charger cables or plastic hangers. Likes warmth, enjoys wearing clothes, and sleeps much more comfortably when dressed. * ​Dislikes: Strangers and loud noises. Uncomfortable sitting on cold floors and hesitant to enter dark, narrow kennels or crates. Trembles in fear when seeing people kick balls at dog cafés. * ​Tricks: Commands "Sit" well when treats are involved. * ​Personality: Prefers quiet, comfortable environments and builds trust gradually. Expressiveness, affection, and patience have improved significantly while staying with the foster family.

Hi there I am NalaI am a mature, self confident dog who would love to find a forever home. I live now with other dogs who I love to play with, cats who I respect and play with if they want to, and kids who like to pet me. I have not had much experience with toys, but I do love a good game of tug. I like to be active, but I am good to just chill out with you too. Nothing like an evening of cuddling with the family to make my day complete.I like car rides, I do not get sick, and I stay calm. My foster says I make a great copilot. I know all my basic commands like sit and stay and I love to walk. When I am walking with my foster I stay close and walk at their pace. If it sounds like we would be a good fit, then just fill in the application and we can meet on a Zoom call.Just waiting for you.NalaThis dog is currently in foster care in La Paz, Mexico, but will be transported upon adoption or foster placement.

Story
Meet Mary Ann and Ginger, an adorable bonded pair of medium-sized rescue dogs who are searching for their forever home. These super cute girls have spent their entire lives on their own until they were recently rescued. Despite their rough beginnings, Mary Ann and Ginger are incredibly sweet and are now learning to enjoy the comforts of a loving home. Both Mary Ann and Ginger get along wonderfully with other dogs, though they haven't had the chance to meet any cats yet. They need a patient adopter who will give them the time and space they need to adjust to their new surroundings and discover the joys of being cherished pets. Ginger, who bravely underwent heartworm treatment, is now healthy and heartworm negative. Both dogs are fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and on preventatives. They even tolerate baths and absolutely love being petted. Currently, Mary Ann and Ginger are being fostered in Seguin, TX, where they are receiving the care and love they deserve. If you have a kind heart and a gentle hand, these two sweethearts will surely reward you with endless affection and loyalty. Adopt Mary Ann and Ginger and give them the loving home they've always dreamed of.

Story
Hello! My name is Judy, and I'm a 2-year-old Jindo mix weighing 9.5kg. I'm looking for a family who will see just how special I am. Before I was rescued, I spent my days wandering the streets on my own. Thankfully, I was brought to safety and given a fresh start. Now I'm ready to find a forever home where I can finally belong. If you're looking for a social butterfly, I might be your perfect match! I absolutely love people and enjoy making new friends wherever I go. Even though Jindos are often known for being reserved with strangers, that's not really my style. I'll happily walk right up to new people, turn around, wiggle my little bottom, and silently ask, "Could you give me some pets right here?" I adore being close to my people, getting kisses, and even climbing onto your lap whenever I can. 🥰 I enjoy spending time with other dogs too! One of my favorite places is a dog park where I can run, chase my friends, and zoom around with endless excitement. I'm an energetic girl who loves outdoor adventures, so I'd be happiest with a family that enjoys walks, playtime, and making fun memories together. I do have one little quirk—I'm a bit protective of my favorite toys and treats. When I'm playing with other dogs, it's best if toys and high-value snacks are put away so everyone can enjoy themselves peacefully. With this simple management, I get along wonderfully with my canine friends. When I move to a new place, I might have an occasional potty accident while I'm figuring everything out. But don't worry—I'm a quick learner and adapt very quickly. When I first arrived at the rescue, I settled in almost immediately and showed everyone what a bright, confident girl I am. Once I understand my routine, I know exactly where to go. There's something special about me that I'd love my future family to know. I have hearing loss, so I don't hear sounds the way most dogs do. But that doesn't stop me from learning! At the rescue, I've been taught using hand signals, and I already know basic cues like "sit." If my new family continues communicating with me the same way, I'll happily keep learning. I may not hear your voice, but I pay close attention to your eyes, your smile, and your hands. Sometimes I also walk in small circles in one direction. This is believed to be a neurological behavior that has become a long-standing habit since I was young. The good news is that it doesn't interfere with my daily life, and I'm otherwise a happy, active dog. I have so much love to give. I love being loved, and I love showing my affection right back. My world isn't built around sounds—it's built around trust, kindness, gentle touches, and the people who choose to love me. I'm dreaming of a family who will take me on adventures, run and play with me, and "talk" to me through hand signals and loving smiles. Together, we'll create a language that's all our own. My journey has already shown me that life can get better. Now I'm just waiting for the people who will make it complete.

Story
🏠 Currently in a Toronto foster homeHi… my name is Koon 🐾I’m a 1 year old Jindo mix boy, about 15kg, with a strong body and an even bigger heart. People say I’m still at that age where I just want to run, play, and learn everything about the world—and they’re right. But my world started a little differently. I came to a shelter when I was just a tiny puppy, and for over a year, my days were spent in a small space. I didn’t get to explore much back then… but somehow, I never stopped believing that people are kind and the world is exciting.When I see humans, my tail starts wagging before I even realize it. I walk right up to say hello—I just can’t help myself. I love other dogs too, and I make friends easily. Being around others makes me feel happy and safe. About six months ago, something new began for me. I moved to a training center, where I started learning what “life” can be like. I’ve met lots of different people, learned rules, and practiced basic training. The trainers say I’m smart (I think so too 😉), and they always smile when I show them my cute side—which I have a lot of.But there’s one thing I’ve never had before… a real home. I don’t yet know what it’s like to rest in a cozy house, to have my own spot, to follow a daily routine with my family, or even to fully understand where to go potty. Everything about living in a home will be new to me.So if you’re thinking about becoming my family, I might need a little patience at first. I might be unsure, or make mistakes while I learn. But I promise—I love people, I love learning, and I really want to do well. If you guide me with kindness and consistency, I’ll try my very best to grow into the dog you can be proud of. If you take the time to show me the world from your side, I’ll give you something back that’s even bigger—my trust, my love, and my whole heart. For me, simple things like walking together, resting side by side, and sharing everyday moments… those are dreams I’ve been waiting for. Maybe… you’re the family I’ve been waiting for? It might be a little awkward at first, but over time, I’ll become your most loyal companion—the one who loves you more sincerely than anyone else. Will you be my first real family? 🐶💛

Story
Hi, my name is Haengbok 🐾It means “happiness” in Korean — and while I may not feel fully happy just yet, I know my forever family will help me get there.I’m a 3-year-old Jindo girl with a gentle soul and a loving heart. I can be a little shy when we first meet, but if you show me patience and kindness, I’ll trust you quickly — sometimes in just a few hours. Once I do, I absolutely love cuddles, pets, and being close to my people.I was rescued by the director of Dream Tails when I was just a young pup. Back then, I wasn’t ready to find my forever home — I needed time to grow, learn, and feel safe. With the help of my trainers, I’ve opened my heart and shown everyone what a truly affectionate and loyal dog I am. I’m just waiting for someone who will understand me and love me for who I am.I get along very well with other dogs, but mealtime can make me a bit sensitive. With continued training, consistency, and reassurance, I’ll learn that everything is okay and that I don’t have to worry anymore.I do have some fears, and I might get startled by unexpected things on walks. I can walk on a leash, and with the support of a calm, loving human by my side, I know I can overcome these worries. All I need is someone willing to walk this journey with me.I’m a sweet, gentle, almost-fully-happy girl — waiting for my forever parents to help me complete my story.Will you be the one to make my name come true?
