Story

If you’re a fan of Yellowstone, you already know the name Dutton stands for loyalty, grit, and heart and this Dutton lives up to it in the most lovable, tail-wagging way possible. Dutton is a one year old Border Collie mix with a sharp mind, a playful spirit, and an “always on” attitude toward life. He came to the shelter as a stray after being found tied to a bench, but he hasn’t let his rough start dull his sparkle. He’s now neutered, in good health, and ready to find his forever ranch…or couch…or agility course. What makes Dutton special? Smart & Driven: He already knows sit and is eager to learn more—especially if treats or toys are involved. Play is His Love Language: Toys, games, interaction—if it involves you and fun, Dutton is ALL IN. High Energy, High Potential: As a young Border Collie mix, Dutton thrives when his brain and body are exercised. Agility, flyball, “find it” games, trick training—this guy would love a job. Friendly & Engaging: He’s social and people-oriented, though he can get jumpy and amped up when excited. The good news? He does respond to settling cues and shines with structure and positive reinforcement. Dog & Home Notes: He’s met male dogs and was interested but a bit unsure when they were too pushy—he may do best with female dogs. Any dog introductions should be slow, supervised, and on leash. Due to jumpiness and unknown history, small children are not recommended at this time. A home with dog experience, especially with herding breeds, would be ideal. Someone who enjoys training, classes, and the idea of a “working dog” will absolutely love Dutton. A handler who is home more often would help him continue building confidence and learning how to settle. Dutton’s Ideal Match: A committed, positive-reinforcement household that understands Border Collies need structure, boundaries, and lots of fun. He does not respond well to aversive methods but truly shines when learning is engaging, rewarding, and consistent. Dutton is the kind of dog who will keep you laughing, moving, and learning right alongside him. If you’re ready for a loyal sidekick with energy, intelligence, and a big personality, Dutton is ready to be your right-hand ranch dog. Think you can keep up with a Dutton?

Story

Current Location: Korea 🇰🇷 ♡ 🧡 Meet Ma-eum A gentle soul learning to love again Ma-eum spent his early years tied outside on a farm, living in fear. He was abused by a male owner and frightened by children who threw balls at him. Because of that, he is still afraid of men, loud playground sounds, and the sight of bouncing toys. But despite all this, Ma-eum has the gentlest heart. For the past two years, he has been living in a patient and loving foster home. He has made slow, steady progress — on his terms — and is now ready for the next chapter of his life. 🧬 Personality Ma-eum is a quiet, thoughtful boy with a soft energy. He feels safest around gentle women with warm voices, and he truly thrives in calm, peaceful homes. He may keep his distance from men indoors, but sometimes shows more courage when outdoors. He isn’t the kind of dog who will run into your arms — but with time and patience, he’ll follow you anywhere. He enjoys peaceful walks, nosework games, gentle pets, and long naps by your side. He doesn't bark much, and he waits quietly when left alone after a short adjustment. 🏡 At Home ✅ House-trained (prefers peeing on vertical surfaces — his foster can provide wall-to-floor pads) ✅ Good with calm dogs (interested and social but may growl at overly excited dogs) ✅ Neutral to cats (no strong prey drive) ✅ Tolerates children (nervous around fast movements but never aggressive) ✅ Excellent in the car ✅ Loves brushing and gentle touch 🚫 Afraid of balls and squeaky toys — he prefers games with treats instead 💛 Ma-eum is looking for… A family who will let him set the pace. Someone who doesn’t expect instant cuddles but understands how meaningful it is when a shy dog chooses to stay close. Ideally, a female adopter or a quiet household with gentle energy. 📦 Foster home can provide pee pad setup 📍 Adoption includes interview & home check 📩 If Ma-eum’s story touched your heart, we’d love to tell you more. He’s been waiting a long time for someone who sees past the fear — and into his true, beautiful heart

Story

Oreo is a 3-year-old male Border Collie/Jindo mix who was rescued from a shelter just before he was scheduled for euthanasia. Sadly, and for unknown reasons, before finding himself abandoned and alone at the shelter, his teeth had been deliberately ground down. Amazingly and despite this, he remains a lively, energetic, and otherwise healthy dog who is remarkably intelligent, craves human interaction, and is very loyal to his guardian. Oreo has the exceptional intelligence typical of Border Collies, fully understanding various commands such as "sit," "wait," and "house." He is also deeply loyal to his guardian and has a strong capacity for forming deep bonds typical of the Jindo breed. He is truly a remarkable dog who has the capacity to grow into an even more amazing companion through continued obedience training and by establishing a trusting relationship with his guardian. Oreo is incredibly affectionate and loves people. He is also very social and gets along well with other dogs. However, he has a habit of jumping when excited, which requires caution when a person is interacting with him in a low position. With consistent training, this behavior can be corrected. Being highly energetic, Oreo possesses excellent jumping ability. At the training center, he has been known to leap over fences—not out of a desire to escape, but due to his curiosity and strong attachment to his guardian. In fact, he has demonstrated behavior where he jumps over a fence when he hears his guardian's voice outside, only to return shortly after. For this reason, families with yards should ensure proper supervision, and a high-fenced environment may be more suitable. The Ideal Family for Oreo is: ✔️ Someone who understands the high intelligence and energy levels of Border Collies, the exceptional loyalty of Jindos, and can provide sufficient mental and physical stimulation ✔️ Someone with experience in training or handling large dogs ✔️ Someone who values bonding with their dog and is ready to build a deep connection ✔️ Someone who can provide ample space for Oreo to move and exercise freely Despite his heartbreaking past, Oreo still loves people and finds his greatest happiness in being with his guardian. With so much intelligence and energy, he has limitless potential to become the perfect lifelong companion if he meets the right family, one that understands him and is ready to provide him with love, care, and proper training. Oreo is waiting for his new family! ❤️

Story

Meet CoCo Name: CoCo Age: 1 year Sex: Neutered Male Breed: Border Collie Mix Color: Black / White / Brown Weight: 10 kg Height: 43–45 cm (shoulder height) Rescue Story CoCo was rescued on November 19, 2025, from a severe animal hoarding case involving over 200 dogs. He was extremely fearful of people when first rescued, but after one month in a foster home, he has made remarkable progress and has learned that humans can be kind and safe. With People CoCo may be a little shy at first, but once treats come out, he quickly warms up and starts trusting. After he bonds with someone, he enjoys being touched and can even be picked up by supporting his belly. When he feels close to you, he will roll over and show his tummy as a sign of affection. His confidence with people has grown significantly — he now shows interest in people on walks and has recently started paying special attention to women, sometimes wanting to follow them. He also prefers to sleep close to his people. With Other Dogs CoCo is generally neutral toward other dogs. He doesn’t seek out play and usually ignores dogs that approach him. However, he can feel nervous around dogs larger than himself. If another dog acts pushy or challenging, CoCo chooses to avoid the situation rather than react. With Cats & Birds When he sees cats on walks, he may look at them with curiosity, but he will follow his handler when guided. He may show a brief chasing response toward birds. Energy Level CoCo has a moderate energy level. He enjoys outdoor activities and especially loves walking, running, and moving. After exercise, he settles down well and relaxes calmly. On Walks CoCo loves walks and prefers brisk walking or jogging over sniffing. He does pull on leash, but he follows his handler and is currently practicing better leash manners. He has recently become more interested in people while walking, which can distract him, so continued training will help. At Home & Other Notes • No food guarding with people or dogs • Rarely barks, but may bark to ask for something • May whine briefly in a kennel, then settles • Jumps into and out of the car on his own • Uses both pee pads and outdoor potty • Not very interested in toys • Knows “sit” and “paw,” currently learning “down” • Recently showing some separation anxiety — gradual alone-time training is recommended • Has chewed phone charging cables, so wires should be kept out of reach • Currently teething, so safe chew toys are important • Not food-obsessed, but happily takes treats CoCo is a gentle, sensitive, and affectionate boy who has overcome a difficult past. With patience, structure, and love, he will continue to grow into a loyal and wonderful companion Apply to adopt or foster: https://adoptmekr.org Please also visit our Facebook or Instagram.

Quick Facts • Name: Cookie• Age: 6 years old• Gender: Male• Neutered: Yes• Breed: Collie Jindo mix• Colour: Golden beige• Weight: 18 kg All About MeHello world! My name is Cookie and I’m currently 6 years old. When you first see me, you’ll just love the way I look. I have collie’s narrow head shape with silky golden-beige coat. Too bad I can’t show off my appearance now, but please do check my YouTube link attached (don’t forget to “Like” and “Subscribe” our channel heehee!) for details! You’ll just fall in love with me. Social SkillsDid you know that I love hooman and furry friends? I just love everyone!!! Although I’m kennel-trained, when you open the kennel, I often jump and run only because I’m just so happy all the time. I’m full of curiosity, energy (not too much though), and love to greet new friends. Yes. I love socializing! When I meet new friends I usually approach them first. For hoomans, when I first meet them, I get so excited that I jump up and down. But don’t get me wrong. This doesn’t mean I’m being aggressive. So please be patient with me. I’m sure I can improve if you train me. Many hoomans describe me as an intelligent dog and I totally agree with it! It must be my collie DNA or something as I can easily tell how hoomans feel. I think I’m born with it. So again, if you train me, I know I’ll be a good companion. Cats? What’s that? I don’t even know who they are and I have no idea how I’ll react when I see them. Energy and ActivitiesI enjoy outdoor activities, especially long-walks and hiking as I’m a good walker. It takes a lot of my energy so when I come home, I like to sit and rest peacefully. I usually don’t bark and stay nicely in a kennel. I also don’t guard my food against hoomans and furry friends. I generally take my potty break outside. When I visit new places, I tend to mark so please keep that in mind. Special NotesI can still remember my first time entering my shelter back in 2018. I was a skinny little puppy and it’s already been 6 years ever since! Despite my time in the shelter, many hoomans say “Cookie is a great, calm dog.” I’m so ready to bring warmth and joy to your home! If you’re looking for a sweet, loving, and clever companion, I’m the one! Let’s make some wonderful memories together For More YouTube Clips, Click Here!Cookie's YouTube Playlist ##2458091##

Story

Quick Facts • Name: Choco• Age: 2 years old• Gender: Male• Neutered: Yes• Breed: Border Collie Mix• Color: Black and Brown• Weight: 13 kg / 28.6 lbs• Microchip: Yes My HealthI’ve had all my vaccinations completed and tested negative for heartworm in November 2024. I also had surgery on both of my hind knees in May 2025, and my vet said everything went perfectly. I’m walking and playing like a champ! I’m healthy, active, and ready for adventures with the right guidance. My PersonalityI’m a sensitive and observant boy. New places and new faces make me cautious at first, but give me a little time and I’ll warm up quickly. I love people and, once I trust you, I’ll come right over for pets, cuddles, and a little attention. I have a gentle and affectionate side that shines once I feel safe. My Social Life• With People: I take a moment to get comfortable with new humans, but I love showing affection to those I trust. I haven’t met young children yet, so I’d do best with older kids or adults who understand gentle communication and can give me time to adjust.• With Other Dogs: I enjoy meeting other dogs, especially those my size or a bit smaller. I feel more confident when other dog friends are around and love peaceful playtime.• With Cats: I haven’t met any cats yet, so I’m open to learning and meeting them slowly. On My WalksWalks are exciting and full of discovery! I sometimes feel unsure around new sights or sounds, but with gentle guidance, I quickly find my courage. I enjoy following my human’s lead and exploring at a calm, curious pace. Life at HomeI’m a calm and easygoing housemate once I’ve settled in. I don’t guard my food with people, though I may give a gentle “hands-off” signal to other dogs at mealtime. I use both indoor pads and outdoor spaces for potty. I’m good at letting you know if I need something or if I spot a stranger. I can get a bit car sick and might mark a little when visiting a new place, but with time and patience, I adjust quickly. My Ideal HomeI’d thrive in a home with patient, loving humans who understand that a little time and training will help me shine. Someone who enjoys helping a boy build confidence and exploring the world with care would be perfect. I’m a loyal, affectionate companion who will be your devoted friend once I feel secure and loved. I can’t wait to meet my forever family and share all my love and loyalty every single day. For More YouTube Clips, Click Here!Choco’s YouTube Playlist ##2516970##

I am pretty good at fetch and love to collect stuffy toys in a pile. I am the smartest boy and respond impressively quick to positive training. I would love to join a home with someone who has an interest in working with me to build my confidence.
