Story
GRIFFINJob Title: Professional Cuddle Enthusiast & Part-Time Interior DecoratorCompatibility: Dogs: Yes | Cats: Yes | House-trained: 100% Gold StarMeet Griffin: The Sweet, Cheeky Boy of Your DreamsLooking for a handsome, gentle, and utterly devoted companion who brings just the right amount of harmless eccentricity to your life? Meet Griffin! He’s a playful, affectionate cuddlebug who takes his job as a loyal pack member very seriously—even if he has a few hilarious personal rules you’ll need to learn.The Social Life (Dogs & Cats) Canine Crew: Griffin is a fantastic doggy buddy. He loves a good wrestling match, a lively game of tug-of-war, and running around the yard with a playmate. He might join in on a brief window-barking session at a passing dog, but honestly, he’s mostly just following the leader. Feline Friends: Griffin is wonderfully respectful of cats. He might give a curious look, move in for a better view, or occasionally think about a quick chase, but he’s easily managed. A simple "stop" or "get down" works like magic on him.The Oddball Quirks (A.K.A. Griffin’s Rules) The Barbecue Offense: Griffin loves treats, but barbecue-flavored chewy sticks are a personal insult. If you offer him one, he will dramatically run away from the sheer audacity of the smell. (Don't worry, he’ll sneak back later to chew it once the scent has degraded to acceptable levels). The Treasure Stash: He enjoys digging small, polite holes outdoors and hiding his favorite chewies around the house or yard. Watching him excavate his secret stashes later is top-tier entertainment. Unsure of the Getaway Car: He isn't a fearful dog by nature, but new experiences—like jumping into the car—require a second of moral support and gentle encouragement.Manners & Energy House Training Legend: Griffin has a pristine track record: zero indoor bathroom accidents. Barking: Minimal! He only pipes up when someone knocks on the door or if there’s a genuinely suspicious noise in the yard. Walk-a-Holic: He loves neighborhood strolls! Griffin walks beautifully on a leash, only giving a gentle tug when an extraordinary scent demands inspection (which he'll happily leave behind when you redirect him). Creative DIY Projects: If Griffin gets bored, he occasionally decides that small cardboard boxes, loose papers, a dog toothpaste kit, or an old rug need to be shredded into confetti. Luckily, he leaves 99% of your belongings completely alone—just make sure he has a supply of attractive chew toys to keep his brain busy!Affection & Daily Vibe Self-Initiated Snuggles: Griffin doesn't just accept love; he demands to give it. He will trot right up to you to dish out kisses and demand forehead scratches. Low-Maintenance Velcro: He likes to be in the same room as his people, whether that's hopping onto the couch for a cuddle or curling up on the floor nearby. He isn't needy—he just likes knowing the pack is together. Bedtime: At night, Griffin will happily slumber right in your bedroom or just outside the door. He definitely wouldn't say no to sleeping on the big bed if invited!The Final VerdictGriffin is highly food-motivated, eager to please, obedient to verbal commands, and loaded with love. Whether you’re a solo adventurer looking for a loyal sidekick or a family wanting a fun, gentle addition, Griffin is ready to hide his favorite toys in your backyard forever!Adoption Fee: $795Estimate DoB: December 2025

Story
Hi! My name is Cookie 🍪🤍 I’m a 1-year-old female Border Collie mix, about 15kg — a lovable medium-sized girl with a bright spirit and an even brighter heart. When I was still very young, I was placed on a euthanasia list. But someone chose not to give up on me. I was rescued and spent a month at a training center for evaluation — and the result was summed up in one word: “Perfect.” ✨ Now I’m living safely in a foster home, waiting for my forever family. My biggest charm? My social skills! I get along beautifully with other dogs, especially smaller ones. I’m playful and energetic, but also thoughtful — I actually prefer playing with dogs smaller than me and adjust my energy to match theirs. I don’t just play… I play kindly. 🐶💕 I love running, playing, and burning off my energy with friends. I prefer pottying outdoors, and after a good play session, I’m happy and satisfied. If you already have a dog at home, I think we could be the perfect team! When I first meet new people, I might look a tiny bit shy. But don’t worry — it doesn’t take long for me to warm up. I’ll gently approach, open my heart, and show you my sweet, affectionate side. I have a quiet kind of charm that sneaks up on you. 🤍 Because I’m still young, I’m happiest when I’m not alone. I truly thrive when I have a dog friend to run and play with. A life where I can share my days — that’s the life that fits me best. My second chance at life saved me. Now I’m hoping for a life where I’m never alone again. A home filled with warmth, family, and maybe even a furry best friend. Will you be my forever family? 🐾💕

Story
Hi, my name is McCall 🖤🤍 I’m a 2-year-old Border Collie boy weighing 18kg, and most people notice my eyes first. One shines bright blue, and the other is deep and dark — my special odd eyes make everyone look twice. But I hope one day, when you look at me, you’ll see more than just my appearance. I hope you’ll see my heart, too. Before rescue, my life was not very kind. I spent a long time tied to a short leash, without the freedom to run, play, or simply be a happy young dog. I didn’t receive the love and care every dog deserves. But somehow, even after everything, I still love people very much. Being with humans is my favorite thing in the world. I love when people play with me, talk to me, and spend time with me. Throw a ball for me, run around with me, or simply laugh with me, and you’ll see my whole face light up. I don’t just want toys or treats — I want connection. I watch people closely, respond to their emotions, and get so excited when someone gives me attention and love. I also enjoy making dog friends and playing with them. I’m naturally social, cheerful, and friendly, so I usually fit in well wherever I go. Because I’m a Border Collie, I’m a very smart boy. I learn quickly, notice patterns fast, and pay close attention to people and my surroundings. I’m happiest when I can use both my body and my brain. Training, games, learning routines, and communicating with my family are things that truly make me feel fulfilled. But I should be honest with you too — I have a lot of energy! I’m still young, and I love to run, explore, and stay active. A short walk alone probably won’t be enough for me. I dream of a family who enjoys adventures, outdoor time, play sessions, and teaching me new things. If you love spending time with your dog instead of simply having a dog beside you, we might be perfect for each other. There’s something important you should know: I’ve never really experienced normal family life before. Living inside a home, learning routines, waiting calmly alone, understanding house manners — these are all new things for me. Sometimes I may get excited, curious, or make little mistakes while I learn. But I promise I’m trying my best. I’m not a “difficult” dog. I’m simply a dog who is finally getting the chance to learn what love and family feel like. With patience, guidance, and kindness, I know I can become an incredible companion. Once, I could only watch the world from the end of a short chain. Now, I’m waiting for the chance to run freely, feel safe, and belong to someone forever. Maybe my odd eyes are special… but what I really hope you’ll love is my warm heart, my happy spirit, and how much I want to share my life with you. I’ll be waiting for my forever family. Maybe it’s you. 🖤🤍

Story
Chase is young, smart, energetic, and full of personality. Like many young Border Collies, he has a lot of energy and a strong drive, and he needs more than just a loving home - he needs someone who understands his breed and is willing to continue working with him. Chase currently pulls on leash and can be reactive toward other male dogs and small dogs, so he is looking for an experienced owner who understands dog behavior, can provide structure and consistent training, and will set him up for success. He isn't looking for someone to simply "manage" him. He needs someone who will teach him, advocate for him, and give him appropriate outlets for his energy and intelligence. With the right person, we believe Chase has so much potential. Behind that intensity is a young dog who deserves the chance to learn, grow, and become the best version of himself. Chase is looking for: - An experienced dog owner - Someone comfortable working with reactivity - A structured, active lifestyle - Continued training and mental enrichment - Ideally, a home without small dogs, male dogs, or cats Chase may not be the easiest dog - but he could be an incredibly rewarding one. Chase is currently in China, and available to fly to you in the coming months. Please send us an email for more information on Chase and our adoption process.

Story
Raven is a fun-loving energetic dog. She's the rule enforcer in the house & makes sure the cats aren't scratching at the furniture or eating her food. She'll alert you if they're not listening.She loves being helpful.She loves to be social but is still learning about boundaries. So when she's playing with dogs or her cats, sometimes she has to be reminded to take a break. She also needs reminders to stay down when she gets to say hi to others as she's very excitable and wants to jump into everyone's arms.Unfortunately her human is having persistent health problems that prevent her daily needs from being met, like going for regular walks. She definitely needs a household that can take her for regular long walks and play with her daily. Her favorite game is tug of war.She'd be best suited in a home with a good balance of activity & quiet time.
