My name is Emilia, and I'm a 4-year-old Bichon Frise with a soft, curly white coat, a long, slender little body, and a big personality waiting to shine! At my first vet visit, I weighed in at just under 10 lbs. I came into rescue underweight so am looking to add another 1 or 2 lbs tops. I'm a happy-go-lucky girl who will greet you with the sweetest, most adoring eyes. When I'm really excited to see you, my tail doesn't just wag – it spins in circles like a little helicopter! It's one of my favourite ways to show just how happy I am. My journey to becoming a beloved family pet has been a little different from most dogs. I spent the first four years of my life in a barn, where I was used for breeding. My interactions with humans were very limited, so I'm still learning what it means to be loved, cared for, and part of a family. Because of my past, I'm naturally cautious when meeting new people. I may come close enough to give you a little sniff, but I'll usually keep enough distance to make a quick retreat if I feel unsure. Sometimes, when someone approaches me, I roll onto my back or lift a leg. Although my tail may be wagging, these are learned responses from my previous life, and I still need time to understand that human attention can be a wonderful thing. I'm looking for a patient, gentle family who will let me build trust at my own pace. I don't need someone to rush my progress – I just need someone who will give me the time and reassurance to discover how wonderful life can be. A calm and quieter home would be ideal, as too much activity or commotion can make me retreat and hide. I have a playful, joyful side that comes out when I feel safe, and I would love a family who gives me the opportunity to show it. A fenced backyard would be a wonderful bonus for my off-leash zoomies and exploring, although a grassy area where I can enjoy a little extra room on a longer leash would also make me happy! I'm a very sweet and well-behaved little girl, and I've already learned many of the routines that come with living in a home. At bedtime, I happily go into my crate all by myself and sleep quietly through the night. I like having my crate in the bedroom with my family because I feel more secure knowing my humans are nearby. If I'm left alone at night, I may cry a little. In the morning, when my crate door opens, I'll greet you with my signature helicopter tail wag! I may need a little encouragement to come out, as I'm sometimes still nervous about stepping into the day. A gentle leash assist or being picked up may be needed. Once I'm out, I need to go outside to relieve myself. I enjoy short walks of about 20–30 minutes, two to three times a day. The leash was a little confusing to me at first, but I've become a lovely walking companion. I don't pull and prefer to stay close to my human. Mealtimes are simple! I eat just over half a cup of food in the morning and another half cup in the evening. I'm currently most comfortable eating in my crate or in my own bed, but I'm happy to learn a new routine in my forever home. When my family needs to go out, I'm comfortable staying home in my crate for up to a few hours. I'll need a crate that gives me enough room to stretch out and get comfortable. When you come home, I'd love to be let out of my crate and given the opportunity to go outside right away. Having this routine helps me feel secure and comfortable. I'm generally a quiet girl at home. I might enjoy chewing on a bone, but you'll usually find me napping, relaxing, or patiently waiting for a little attention. When it comes to car rides, I feel safest travelling in my crate, as being in the car can make me nervous. I really enjoy the company of other dogs! I'm friendly and curious when I see other dogs around the neighbourhood, but I'm not overly excitable. In fact, having another friendly, confident dog in my forever home would be a wonderful bonus. I tend to come out of my shell when I have a canine friend around. With another dog nearby, I become much more playful, running around, enjoying zoomies, and showing off a side of my personality that you might not see right away. A dog sibling could help me feel more comfortable as I adjust to my new surroundings and learn the routines of my forever home. I'm looking for a family who understands that trust takes time. I need gentle, patient humans who will allow me to approach them when I'm ready, rather than expecting me to immediately seek out affection. A home without young children would likely be the best fit for me, as lots of noise, excitement, and sudden movements can be overwhelming. Teens who understand how to approach me calmly may be a possibility but ideally a quiet home with adults only would be best for me. Most importantly, I want to feel safe. Once I have that security, you'll get to see just how much happiness and love I have to offer. I've made so much progress since leaving the barn, but my learning journey is far from over! I'm working on my recall and learning to come when my name is called. I've also learned to respond to a gentle verbal correction such as "eh-eh" when I'm being redirected. Some basic commands, like sit and stay, are still a work in progress. My cautious nature can sometimes make it difficult for me to focus on learning something new, so positive reinforcement and patience will be important. Basic obedience classes would be a wonderful way for my new family and me to build confidence, strengthen our bond, and continue learning together. My beautiful white double coat is soft and curly, and I shed very little. To keep me looking and feeling my best, I'll need professional grooming every 4–6 weeks, along with regular brushing at home to prevent tangles and matting. A leave-in conditioner or detangler can also help keep my coat soft and manageable. I've had my first veterinary visit, where I was spayed and received my vaccinations and all my other necessary vetting. I can be a little nervous at the vet, but I do well during examinations and am able to stay still while being checked. I'll need regular annual veterinary visits, along with daily toothbrushing to keep my teeth healthy and my breath fresh. A few things will help me settle in and feel secure: • A crate in the bedroom so I can sleep comfortably near my family. • A separate crate in the main living area, if needed, for when I'm home alone. • A cozy dog bed of my own – although I wouldn't say no to a spot on the couch beside my family! • A consistent daily routine that helps me know what to expect. • A fenced backyard or safe outdoor space where I can explore and enjoy my zoomies. • A patient family who understands that building trust is a journey. • Lots of gentle encouragement, positive reinforcement, and love. I may not be the little dog who runs straight into your arms the moment we meet. I may need a little time to feel comfortable, and I might take a few steps forward and a few steps back along the way. But I have so much love and happiness waiting to shine through. Imagine coming home every day to a little white dog whose tail spins like a helicopter just because you're there. That's me, Emilia! I've spent the first four years of my life learning how to survive. Now I'm ready to spend the rest of my life learning what it means to be loved. Could you be the family who shows me?

QUICK FACTS Name: Viviana Age: About 5 Years Old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Bichon Color: White Weight: 5kg / 11lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from an illegal breeding facility, where my life had been shaped by circumstances beyond my control. Thankfully, rescuers stepped in and brought me to safety, giving me a second chance to experience kindness, comfort, and proper care. Now, I’m looking forward to leaving that chapter behind and beginning a brighter future as a cherished companion in a loving forever family.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Spayed & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m Viviana! I’m a cheerful, sociable little girl with sparkling eyes and a personality that makes it incredibly easy to fall in love with me. My coat is currently quite short, but I’ll be an absolutely beautiful, fluffy Bichon once it grows out. For now, I have those wonderfully expressive eyes and a sweet little face that seem to do a pretty good job of winning people over all on their own! I’m naturally outgoing and comfortable around people, even those I’ve only just met. Rather than waiting for someone to approach me, I’ll happily make the first move, asking to be petted, rubbing my little backside against them, or climbing right into their lap. I don’t seem to have much hesitation around unfamiliar humans. Making new friends comes quite naturally to me! I’d love a family who sees my potential and somewhere along the way, you’ll get to watch my fluffy Bichon coat grow back while discovering just how much personality is packed into this sweet little girl. After my difficult beginning, I’m ready for a family who will give me the time and stability to make my next home my forever one.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I’m naturally friendly and affectionate with people, and I happily approach both familiar faces and new people to say hello and ask for attention. I enjoy leaning in for affection and am comfortable being petted, even by someone I’ve just met. I’m also comfortable being gently picked up with an arm supporting me under my belly. I haven’t had experience with children under 13 yet, so my comfort level with younger kids is still unknown. · With Dogs: I’m comfortable approaching unfamiliar dogs to say hello, but I generally prefer a friendly greeting rather than engaging in play. I tend to get along well with dogs around my own size, and if another dog tries to provoke me, I usually choose to walk away and avoid conflict rather than engage. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate energy level – I enjoy spending time outdoors, but I’m also happy to settle down and relax afterward. I’m especially interested in all the interesting smells around me, so my walks tend to involve plenty of stops to sniff and explore rather than walking at a steady pace. I’m still gaining experience with walks, and unfamiliar or frightening situations can make me nervous enough to lie flat on the ground. I feel much more comfortable walking in quiet, peaceful areas, while busy roads with lots of traffic can be overwhelming for me. With patience, gentle reassurance, and gradual exposure to new surroundings, I can continue building my confidence and learning to enjoy walks at my own pace.   TRAINING & HABITS I don’t guard my food around people or other dogs. When there’s something I really want, I may use barking to let you know, and I may also bark when I see someone unfamiliar. With consistent guidance and positive training, I can continue learning calmer ways to communicate. I’m calm and settled when I’m in a kennel I’m comfortable using both indoor pee pads and going potty outdoors.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m searching for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: A family that will provide me with a safe haven – where I can relax, feel secure, and be myself in a stable environment A family that understands my past and is patient with me throughout A family that enjoys indoor and outdoor time together A family that will love and cherish me forever   SPECIAL NOTES    VIVIANA'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2864691##

We spent time with them apart and saw how much happier and more confident they are side by side. At Loyal Rescue, their happiness and well-being guide every decision we make. For these two sisters, that means finding a forever home together.   Name/Tag: Popcorn 4839 Age: 6 years Sex/Altered: Female / Spayed Weight: 13 lbs Breed: Bichon Foster Home Location:  PORT HOPE, ON Adoption Fee:  $700.00 each Temperament: She’s still learning to trust people, but feels right at home with other dogs Activity/Energy Level: Moderate  Up to date on Shots: Yes, plus dental done Housebroken: Yes, with prompting. Crate Trained: Yes Ok with Dogs: Yes Ok with Cats: Unknown Ok with Kids: She hasn’t been around children in her foster home, so we don’t yet know how she’ll respond. New people and experiences can feel a little overwhelming for her, and she’s learning to trust at her own pace. A calm, gentle introduction would help her feel comfortable. Origin: Mass breeding facility  Requirements: A fenced yard, someone home part of the day, children over 12 years old who are dog savvy, mill dog experience an asset  And now, a few words from me: My favourite place is the backyard! I love racing around with my sister Pennie and our foster brother, especially when one of us grabs a toy. I’m fast, and I love meeting other dogs who come to visit. When I’ve had my fill of running, you’ll find me in my second favourite spot: the end of the couch. I spent my first years in a puppy mill, so I’m still getting used to people and all the new things in my world. My foster mom says I’m smart and notices every little step I take, like following her up the stairs when it’s time to go inside. If I feel unsure, I can take a break in my crate or behind the table. As I settle in, I’m doing that less often. I use the yard for potty breaks and a pee pad if I can’t quite hold it. Pennie and I are looking for a family who will give us time to feel at home. We have so much joy to share!   And now, a few words from my foster mom: Popcorn is a bright, observant girl who likes to take everything in. She adores Pennie and loves sitting close to her. She also likes being near her people, although she’s still learning to trust touch, and feels most comfortable when she can choose how close to come. Being picked up is something she’s still getting used to. Outdoors, Popcorn’s playful side shines. She runs, explores and follows every interesting smell. If you’re relaxing on the deck, she’s happy to lie nearby in the sunshine. Inside, she enjoys a nap on the end of the couch and the challenge of getting a treat out of her Kong. An unexpected noise may startle her and prompt a bark, but she is growing more comfortable as she settles into foster care. Popcorn needs a securely fenced yard and a patient family who will let her build confidence at her own pace. She is still learning to walk on a leash. She enjoys the company of other dogs and would welcome more furry friends, with Pennie beside her. Give Popcorn and Pennie time, love and a home together, and you’ll have the wonderful experience of watching this clever little girl grow more confident each day. Questions?

My foster mom laughs and says I look like an emu. I’m not sure what an emu is, but I do know I love being outside. There are so many things to smell, places to explore and reasons to wag my tail! I’m discovering lots of new things. Toys are a favourite, and I love trotting around with a ball or stuffie in my mouth. I’m also learning to trust my foster mom and sometimes let her pick me up. New experiences can feel a little scary at first, but I’m curious and I keep trying. My foster mom is proud that I use the yard for my potty breaks and a pee pad if I can’t quite hold it. Popcorn and I hope to find a family who will give us time to settle in and discover how wonderful life can be. We’ll be worth the wait!   And now, a few words from my foster mom: Pennie is a sweet little girl whose personality shines when she’s outside. She runs with the biggest smile, tail wagging, then checks to see where you’re going. Head towards the house and she’ll be right behind you. After spending her first years in a puppy mill, Pennie is still learning to feel comfortable with people. She likes being near us in the house, even though being picked up can make her unsure. There is one adorable exception: when she wants to join the other dogs on the couch, she lets me give her a lift! She gets along well with other dogs and would welcome more furry friends. Pennie needs a securely fenced yard where she can enjoy her favourite pastime: running freely. She’s still learning to walk on a leash and will do best with a patient family who lets her build confidence at her own pace. Having Popcorn by her side helps her feel secure. We gave the sisters time apart and saw how much better they do together, so their forever home must be one they share. If you have room in your home and heart for these two sisters, you’ll get the special joy of watching Pennie relax, grow in confidence and show you more of her lovely self. Questions?
