Story
Meet Bairn, an energetic and enthusiastic dog in search of an active, confident owner. Bairn has a zest for life and loves to stay busy, whether it’s going for runs, long walks, swimming, or cuddling with his favorite people. He thrives on learning new things and is a quick learner—definitely a smart cookie! Bairn is reactive to new people, other dogs, and some vehicles, so he will need to be walked with a muzzle as a precaution. However, his reactivity can be managed with consistent training, energy-draining activities, keeping a safe distance from triggers, and positive reinforcement for good behavior. When his mind is engaged and his energy is properly channeled, Bairn is much more balanced and in control. This wonderful boy will need a dedicated owner who is committed to continuing his training and giving him the structure he needs. While Bairn may not be immediately friendly with new people, he just needs time and slow, controlled introductions to build trust. Once he bonds with you, he’ll show you his goofy, lovable side. Bairn is looking for a home with a fully fenced yard, where he can thrive in a calm and structured environment. He would do best in a home without small children or other dogs. With patience and understanding, Bairn will prove to be the best companion you could ask for!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.ALGONQUIN hails from Fort Severn, a Northern community and came south with his 5 siblings, Yamaska, Arisaig, Makwa, Banff & Kokanee (they’re known as the Provincial Parks Litter) and she came south to find her forever home. He’s had *1 set of puppy vaccines, a microchip, “Interceptor Plus” dewormer and has been deemed a healthy boy by his Vet. We actually have a video showing both parents and mum looks like a medium sized Collie/Old English Sheepdog and his dad possibly a large sized black Lab/Border Collie/Shepherd. We do also see Newfoundlander breed in the litter so we do expect him to be a large breed dog. He comes from a community with many stray dogs so he no doubt has many different breeds in him that are not as notable as well. He’s a very placid, laid back, gentle little fella who loves his humans almost as much as he loves taking naps. He loves to play in his fenced-in yard and will happily chase his siblings around in it. He’s well socialized with people and will excitedly run up to greet them with a wagging tail. He loves his snuggles and will happily curl up in your lap to get lots of them.  ALGONQUIN is a happy-go-lucky, playful puppy who’s full of curiosity and is just learning what squeaky toys are all about and he’s always startled when one of his favourites actually has a squeaky in it. He’s fostered with 2 of his sisters and they are quite bossy to him. They will take his kibble if they’re not watched at meal times so he now gets fed in the crate so he can eat in peace. The funny thing is that when he sees his meal being prepared, he runs into his crate and patiently waits for his bowl of kibble.With his lovely personality and good nature he’s ready to find his forever home where he can continue to thrive and grow. ALGONQUIN has just started his crate training and he’s picking up on it very quickly as he’s one smart little guy. He’s only just started going out for his bathroom breaks so be’a just starting to understand that’s the place to do his business. He’s not going out for walks just yet seeing as he’s not vaccinated enough but he is wearing a collar and harness while on a leash so be can be walked around the back yard. Due to teething, he’s at a chewing stage and needs lots of chewy toys to satisfy that urge not to chew on anything that he shouldn’t. He really loves to chew on a Nyla bone to keep those little teeth busy too. He’s starting to learn a couple of basic commands already such as “sit” for his meals and take treats “gentle.” ALGONQUIN would love an active family who loves the outdoors, going on hikes, walks and will take him on adventures with them. He travels well in a vehicle and will just rest in his crate and quietly enjoy being driven around. He isn’t fostered with a dog but if there’s one in the home then they should be chill and placid like he is and they’d be fine putting up with puppy antics. He’s fostered with two older puppies and they love to chase and play with him. He would suit being with another dog in the home as long as they quiet and chill just like he is and definitely not a dominant dog. He can be an only dog as long as he’s not left alone for long periods at a time. He hasn't met a cat but seeing as he’s just a puppy and with a slow, monitored introduction they should do well together. He requires a fenced-in yard so he can run around and play safely so he wouldn’t suit being in an apartment and that’s also due to the size we think he’ll grow to be. Children should be aged 6yrs and up plus be gentle, loving and caring towards animals.  ALGONQUIN, like all puppies is a cute, playful and fun puppy but he’ll require a lot of time, patience and dedication to training. We need his adopter to commit to signing him up for puppy training/obedience classes so he can be the most well behaved puppy possible. His neuter is included in his adoption fee and his potential adopter must be in agreement to have him neuter performed by the time he’s 9 months of age or 60lbs (whichever comes first.) It will either be at the Rescue’s vet’s clinic or be at the Barrie SPCA. You do have the option to use your own vet and we’ll reimburse you what we would’ve paid for it at the SPCA. However, her spay will still have to be performed in the above timeframe for the reimbursement and we’ll need a copy of the procedure invoice and an updated photo of him (preferably in a cone after the surgery.) We use the photo on our fb page along with other animals that were spay/neutered that same week. If ALGONQUIN sounds like he’d suit your home and lifestyle then please submit an adoption application to meet him. It should be noted that puppies personalities can change daily/weekly as their little brains develop. We try to keep our puppy postings as up-to-date as possible but due to their development, it’s not always possible to note 100% accurate behavioural information.  * He’ll receive his second vaccine and it will be covered by his adoption fee.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 7, 2026, 1:36 pm

Story
QUICK FACTS Name: Hachi Age: About 6 Years Old Gender: Male (Neutered) Breed: Border Collie – Australian Shepherd Mix Color: White and Brown Weight: 22kg / 48.5lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was in a place where dogs were bred without care or kindness. The world around me was small, and life was more about getting through each day than enjoying it. Then one day, everything changed. I was rescued from an illegal breeding facility and given the chance to leave that life behind. Since then, I've been discovering things that once felt unfamiliar—gentle hands, comfortable places to rest, and people who care about how I feel. With each passing day, I grow a little more confident, a little more curious, and a lot more ready to share my sweet side with the world.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Neutered & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY I’m the kind of dog who likes to keep an eye on everything around me. With my bright mind and calm nature, I tend to take in a situation before deciding what to do. People often notice my striking looks first, but it doesn’t take long for them to discover that I’m just as sweet as I am handsome. I genuinely enjoy being around people and love spending time with my humans. I’m gentle, affectionate, and easy to befriend. Since I’m a smart boy who enjoys treats, I pick up on routines and training quickly. I already know some basic commands, and learning new things together sounds like a pretty fun way to spend time. Life feels best when I’m near my people, whether we’re out exploring or simply enjoying a quiet day together. I’m the kind of companion who brings both intelligence and warmth wherever I go.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I can be a little shy when meeting someone for the first time, but a tasty treat is usually all it takes for me to warm up and start feeling comfortable. Once I get to know you, I’m happy to accept gentle pets and enjoy your company. I’m comfortable being picked up with support under my belly, and while I haven’t had the opportunity to meet children under 13 yet, I continue to gain confidence through new experiences. · With Dogs: When I meet a new dog, I’m usually happy to approach and exchange a polite greeting before moving on. I tend to be fairly independent and don’t show much interest in playing or spending time with other dogs. While I’m generally calm around dog companions, I may respond if another dog is overly pushy or confrontational, so thoughtful introductions with unfamiliar dogs would be recommended. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have moderate energy level – I enjoy getting outside for walks and adventures, but I’m not a dog who needs constant activity to be happy. Once I’ve had a chance to explore and stretch my legs, I’m usually content to relax and enjoy some quiet time. I’m a pleasant walking companion who has plenty of leash experience, follows my person well, and walks without much pulling.   TRAINING & HABITS I’m comfortable sharing food with people and don’t mind having them around while I eat. Around other dogs, though, I prefer a little personal space at mealtime and may let them know if they come too close. I can be a bit vocal when I’m hoping for something I want I settle nicely in a kennel I have good house habits, using both indoor pads and going outside for bathroom breaks. I may be tempted to do a little marking when I arrive somewhere new and unfamiliar. With a consistent routine and guidance, I usually settle in and adjust to my surroundings as I become more comfortable.   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 decompress, 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    HACHI'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.co ##2755801##

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
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? 🐾💕

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##
