Story
Hi, I’m Misty 💛 I’m a 3-year-old girl, a Border Collie–Samoyed mix, and I weigh about 17kg. People often notice my soft, fluffy coat first… but my favorite little charm? One of my ears folds slightly—it’s my special signature look 😊 I was rescued from a shelter where my time was almost up, but you wouldn’t know it if you met me. I’m bright, happy, and full of love. I really love people. Even if we’ve just met, I’ll come right up to you like we’ve known each other forever. I love attention, I love affection, and I love sharing little moments together. I’m also great with other dogs! I get along well with my furry friends and don’t like conflict—I’d much rather play and enjoy good company. If you like going on walks or playing together, I’ll be so happy. And after we’ve had our fun? I’m just as happy to rest quietly by your side. I have a nice balance of energy—I can be active, but I also know how to relax at home. I’m still learning what it means to live in a home. Things like potty habits and house rules might be new to me, but I’m a smart girl (that Border Collie side of me helps!), and I learn quickly when someone is patient and consistent with me. I don’t need perfection. I don’t need everything to be ready from the start. I just need someone who will understand me, teach me gently, and stay by my side as I learn. Because I’m already ready to love you. All I’m waiting for… is a family who will love me back, and give me a place to finally belong. Will you be family? 💛

Story
QUICK FACTS Name: Seoksam Age: 8 months old Gender: Male (Neutered) Breed: Collie, Jindo mix Color: Golden, Beige Weight: 15kg / 33lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from a crowded city pound just in time, after being at risk due to limited space. Thanks to that second chance, I’m now safe and ready to start my next chapter with a loving forever family.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Neutered & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY I’m a cheerful, happy-go-lucky boy who absolutely loves both people and dog friends—everyone I meet instantly becomes my new best friend. I’m even more adorable in person, with the softest, fluffiest golden-beige fur you won’t be able to resist.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I absolutely love people and get so excited to greet everyone I meet—I’m always ready for pets and affection. I’m comfortable being picked up, and I’m a quick learner too! I picked up the command “sit” in no time and love earning treats while learning new tricks. · With Dogs: I love my dog friends just as much—I’m always excited to meet new pups and play. I’m still a young boy learning my manners, so my happy energy can sometimes get a little enthusiastic and pushy, but it’s all coming from a friendly, playful place. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown. A cat test can be arranged upon request to ensure the best fit.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I’m a high-energy, fun-loving boy who thrives on adventure—I love exploring, playing, and staying active. Once I’ve had a good chance to burn off my energy, I settle down beautifully and relax calmly indoors.   TRAINING & HABITS I get super excited for walks and may pull at times, but I do follow my handler’s lead overall. I’m still building my confidence and can feel a bit unsure around busy streets, though I’m improving with guidance. I have great manners around people and don’t guard my food, but I can be a little sensitive if other dogs are nearby during mealtime. I settle nicely in my kennel, am comfortable using both pee pads and going outdoors, and while I may mark in a new environment at first, I adjust and settle in quickly.   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 • A family that understands I’m still a young pup and willing to guide me with patience and continue with basic obedience training   SPECIAL NOTES I’m a joyful, happy boy who truly deserves the very best, and any family would be so lucky to have me. I’ll be starting socialization training soon, and I’m ready to grow into an even more well-mannered little gentleman. As a young pup, I’m eager to learn and just need a family to guide me—I have so much potential and so much love to give.   Seoksam's Youtube Playlist   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2689898##

Story
🏠 Currently in a Toronto foster homeHi… I’m Lulu. Not long ago, I was just another name on a list — a list that meant my story might end before it ever really began. I hadn’t felt what a home was like yet, and I hadn’t learned what it meant to truly belong to someone. But I was given a second chance, and now I’m standing at the door of a brand-new life… maybe with you. I’m a bright, happy girl with lots of energy and an even bigger curiosity about the world. I love to move, to learn, and to play — every day feels exciting to me. I make dog friends quickly and genuinely enjoy playing with them, and I tend to warm up to people pretty fast too. If you meet me, I’ll probably come say hello with a wagging tail and sparkling eyes. Since I’m a Border Collie mix, I’m a smart cookie. I pay close attention to your voice, your expressions, and your energy, always trying to understand what you’re asking of me. I’m still just 10 months old though — basically a big puppy! Sometimes my energy bubbles over and I might get a little silly, but I’m learning house rules and how to become the best companion I can be. And I promise you — I’m ready to learn. I’ve never truly had a home of my own. I don’t yet know what it feels like to curl up in “my” spot, to go on daily walks with “my” person, or to fall asleep each night knowing I am completely safe and loved. But if you choose me, I’ll learn all of that with you. I’ll learn that this is my home, that I am loved, and that I finally belong. If you’re a family who enjoys an active life and wants to spend time training, playing, and growing together… if you’re patient and excited to watch a young dog blossom into her best self… I will be your most loyal friend. I was once a dog waiting for my life to end. Now, I’m a dog waiting for my forever family. Could that be you? 🐾

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##

Story
QUICK FACTS Name: Hoah Age: About 1 Year Old (Born in February, 2025) Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Border Collie – Jindo Mix Color: Brown Weight: 11kg / 24lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was born in a shelter. My mom arrived there while she was still pregnant with me, and that’s where my story began. Even in a place that wasn’t really meant for growing up, I learned to be gentle, to find comfort, and to stay hopeful. Now, I’m ready to discover something new— a real home, a warm bed, and someone to call my own.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Spayed & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m Hoah, a curious little explorer with a playful, goofy heart. I see the world with wide eyes and endless curiosity — everything is interesting, everything is exciting! I’m cheerful, playful, and full of curiosity. I love exploring, moving, and discovering new things — sometimes I get a little distracted because there’s just so much to see! But I’m also people focused. I’m interested in people and want to connect. I just need a little time at first in new places. But once I trust you? I become incredibly gentle, sweet, and easygoing — a total softie. With my curious, slightly scattered personality (some say I’ve got that Collie-style energy), I’ll thrive with someone who can guide me, play with me, and help me focus my energy in a positive way. I’m not just playful — I’m full of potential. If you’re someone who enjoys an active, curious companion and wants to grow together, learn together, and laugh a lot along the way, I think we’d have something really special!   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I’m a sweet and gentle soul who loves being close to people. I might be just a tiny bit shy at first, but give me a treat and a moment, and I’ll warm up to you quickly. Before you know it, I’ll be walking up to you on my own, leaning in and softly rubbing against you like we’ve known each other forever. You can even pet me and scoop me up with your arms under my belly — I’ll stay relaxed, happy just being held close to you. I haven’t had the chance to meet children under 13 yet, so I may just need a little time and gentle introductions. · With Dogs: When it comes to other dogs, I’m all about friendly vibes. Whether we’ve met before or not,I’ll happily walk up, say hello, and invite them to play. I enjoy making new friends and sharing little moments together, and I naturally approach others with a gentle, open heart. Even if another dog isn’t so friendly,I’d rather avoid trouble and walk away than get into a conflict. I’m not here for drama — just connection, calm energy, and good company. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have high energy level – I really enjoy getting plenty of exercise outside. Once I’ve had enough time to run around and explore, I’m happy to come home and rest calmly by your side. On walks, I can get a little excited and pull sometimes, but I do listen and naturally like to follow my person. I feel most comfortable in quiet, peaceful areas where I can relax and enjoy the moment. Busy roads with lots of cars can be a bit scary for me, so I’d love someone who understands that and helps me feel safe.   TRAINING & HABITS When it comes to food, I’m very relaxed — I don’t guard it from people or other dogs, so mealtime stays easy and stress-free. I’m usually a quiet dog, but when I see someone new, I might give a little bark at first — just my way of saying, “Hey… who’s that?” My kennel can make me feel a bit unsure, so I might whine at first, but with patience and reassurance, I’m learning it’s a safe, cozy space. I prefer doing my business outside, so I’d love a routine with regular walks and fresh air.   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    HOAH'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.co ##2697714##

Story
QUICK FACTS Name: Haeon      Age: About 5 Years Old Gender: Male (Neutered) Breed: Border Collie Color: Black and White Weight: 17kg / 37.4lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY Someone saw me on the road and couldn’t just walk past. They took me in and gave me a safe place to stay, even if it was only temporary. But they knew I needed more help, so they reached out and that’s how I got my chance. I’m still learning about this new life, but I’m ready to find a place where I truly belong.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Neutered & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY I’m a classic Border Collie at heart—full of energy, curiosity, and always ready to move. When I’m outside, I come alive. Running, exploring, and staying busy is my favorite thing, so don’t expect me to sit still for long! Sometimes I get so excited that I can be a bit much for my dog friends, especially the calmer ones—but I’m just having fun and living in the moment. That said, I do know how to switch it off. In my kennel, I’m surprisingly quiet and settled. It’s like I have two modes: zoomies outside, peaceful rest inside. I tend to mirror the energy around me. If I’m with calm dogs, I can relax alongside them. But if someone’s excited, I’ll happily join in the fun. I’m still learning balance, but I’m getting better every day. I may be an active, spirited dog, but with the right guidance and a patient heart, I’ll be an incredibly fun and loyal companion who keeps life anything but boring.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I’m a very affectionate dog—I don’t just love the people I know, I’m also happy to walk right up to new people, lean in for cuddles, and let them pet me right away. However, I’m not a big fan of being picked up, so I’d feel most comfortable if you respect my space and let me stay on all fours. I haven’t had the chance to meet children under 13 yet, so I may need a gentle and thoughtful introduction. · With Dogs: With smaller dogs, I’m relaxed and friendly, and I usually enjoy their company. I can feel a little unsure around dogs that are bigger than me—they make me a bit nervous sometimes. If another dog comes on too strong or tries to provoke me, I might react, so I’d do best with slow, careful introductions when meeting new dogs. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have high energy level – I’ve got a lot of energy and love to stay on the move—sitting still isn’t really my thing! I’m happiest when I get plenty of outdoor time to run, explore, and burn it all off. Once I’ve had enough activity, though, I can settle down and rest nicely. On walks, I can get a bit eager and pull on the leash, but I do enjoy following my person and staying connected with them.   TRAINING & HABITS I’m gentle with people when it comes to food—I don’t feel the need to guard it. But if another dog comes too close while I’m eating, I might give a little growl to let them know I’d like my space. When there’s something I want, I’m not shy about speaking up—I’ll let you know with a little bark. I settle down nicely in my kennel and stay calm once I’m inside. I’m also used to doing my business outdoors, so I prefer going potty outside.   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    HAEON'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.co ##2701896##
