Story
🐾 Meet Gureum🐾 📍 Current location: South Korea ❤ Age: about 6-7 years old ❤ Gender: n. male ❤ Weight: 11 kg ❤ Breed: Bichon frise ❤ Health: Fully vaccinated, Overall healthy 🐶 Personality & Behavior 💖 People-friendly – Loves people and is very affectionate 💖 Kid-friendly – indifferent to kids 💖 Dog-friendly – he gets along well with other dogs, especially smaller dogs or the same size dogs. He doesnt like large jindo or large jindo mix breeds, bcz he was often attacked by stray jindos. 💖 Cat-friendly –no issues, not very interested for them (video attached) ✅ Toilet-trained: prefers Outdoors and using peepads indoors ✅ Leash manners: Enjoys walks and matches your pace. ✅ Energy level: Usually he is very calm. He shows big excitement, when going for walks and when seeing you get home. ✅ Handling: Comfortable with touch and bathing ✅ Escape instinct: no ✅ Prey drive: no ✅ Guarding tendency: He likes balls and is sometimes obsessed with them ✅ Crate trained: Currently in training ✅ Barking: He barely barks at noises outside ✅ Separationsanxiety: None so far 💔 Rescue Story He was abandoned by his pervious owner in a farm due to the marriage issue, her husband didn't want to keep the dog. As we found him, his hinterquaters were covered in countless bite wounds from repeated attacks by other straydogs. ‼️ Special notes He is protective of his owner and will lunge at strangers, especially men, while barking. But he is not very strong, is easy to handle and controll. He responds well to a light leash correction and will usually stop the behavior. However we believe that he'd do the best with an adopter who has prior experience with dogs.

🐾✨ Meet Dali — A Sweet, Smart & Affectionate Poochon ✨🐾 📍 Location: Korea 🇰🇷 (able to fly once adopted ✈️) 🐶 Name: Dali 🎂 Age: 2 years old ♂️ Gender: Male ⚖️ Weight: 6 kg / 13 lb 🐕 Breed: Poochon 🎨 Color: Ivory ✂️ Neutered: Yes 🧡 Personality & Social Skills Dali is a sweet, affectionate, and very smart little boy who loves attention and being close to his person. 🥰 He loves being touched and cuddled and can be very affectionate once he feels comfortable. He can be a little stubborn at times, but he is clever and learns quickly. He may be shy when meeting new people, but with a little patience, he warms up and becomes loving and affectionate. 👩 With women: May be shy at first but warms up quickly. 👨 With men: Needs a little more time to feel comfortable, but becomes friendly once he gets to know them. 🐶 With dogs: He has limited experience with other dogs and may bark when he sees them. Once they are closer, he generally does well without major issues. 🐱 With cats: Does well with cats. 🏠 Lifestyle & Training ✔ Medium energy ✔ Fully potty trained indoors & outdoors ✔ Crate training in progress ✔ Leash walking practice in progress and improving ✔ Travels well in the car 🚗 ✔ Apartment-friendly ✔ Yard not required ✔ Can live happily as the only dog ✔ No tendency to run away ⚠️ Separation Anxiety Dali does have separation anxiety and may bark when left alone. He may also bark at outside noises or doorbells. Because of this, his ideal family would be someone who can give him time, patience, and gradual training to help him feel safe and comfortable when alone. 🤍 He may occasionally chew on hard objects because his teeth can still feel itchy, so appropriate chew toys are recommended. 💔 Rescue Story Dali was originally raised by a couple. After they separated, however, Dali was left alone and neglected in the home for a long period of time. Despite spending so much time alone, Dali has remained a loving and affectionate little boy who simply wants to be close to his people. 🥹🤍 Now, he is ready for a fresh start and is looking for a family who will never leave him behind again. 🌈 Dali is hoping to find a patient and loving forever family where he can finally feel safe, loved, and truly at home. 🏡🤍

Story
Bippity and Boppity were surrendered together to a local shelter. HART scooped them right up. These two are super nice. They love belly rubs and are open to being touched and held. They LOVE attention! Boppity (the female) is a little more timid than the boy and patiently waits while he gets attention first. She is very pretty and feminine, smaller that him. At 2 years old, they are fully grown. Their foster say she gave them a nice blanket and 2 squeaky toys and they really seem to appreciate everything that they have. They can be adopted separately but Boppity may appreciate another dog in the home as she is always checking in with Bippity. Questions About this Animal?

She enjoys playing with other small dogs and would be a wonderful 2nd dog for a family.  Holly's guardian explains why she has made the decision to rehome her:  Her guardian has developed medical issues and can no longer care for her.  Holly's guardian offers a brief medical history:  "Nothing chronic to report.  Recent medical exam was in May 2025 and she was healthy."

Holly's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Holly hasn't lived with cats, so her guardian is unsure how she would react to cats in a household, stating "She's been indifferent to outside stray cats.  She hasn't been formally introduced to a cat but I don't have any reason to say that she won't do okay". Holly's guardian describes her as: Playful Shy Small dog friendly Affectionate Fearful of toddlers, children, and big dogs Independent Crate-Trained Holly's guardian describes her ideal future home:  "Holly needs experienced owners that are sensitive to her needs and will be patient and understanding with her.  She will be great in a house with a small dog so she can borrow from their confidence.  A couple or family who would adore her."
