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
🏠 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: Colin Age: About 6 Years Old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Border Collie – Sheltie Mix Color: White and Brown Weight: 19.7kg / 43.4lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from an unlicensed breeding facility where life felt small and repetitive. I didn’t know much about the world outside of those walls, and everything around me felt unfamiliar. Then one day, I was finally brought somewhere safe. For the first time, I began to experience gentle care, quiet comfort, and freedom to simply be myself. Now I’m slowly discovering how nice life can be—soft beds, kind hands, and peaceful days. There’s still so much I’m learning, but I’m ready for a brighter chapter ahead.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Spayed & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m Colin. I may seem a little shy when we first meet, but it doesn’t take long before my affectionate side starts to show. Once I feel comfortable, I become incredibly loving and happily stay close, always hoping for a few more pets and gentle attention from my favorite people. People often notice my soft, elegant appearance and my sweet little habits—especially the way I gently place my paw into your hand when asking for affection. It’s my own quiet way of connecting and showing trust. Beneath my fluffy, charming looks is a warm-hearted dog who simply enjoys being loved and included. If you’re looking for a gentle companion who brings both comfort and joyful companionship into everyday life, I would be so happy to stay by your side.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I can be a little shy at first, but it doesn’t take me long to warm up—especially if treats are involved. Once I feel comfortable, I happily accept gentle touch and quickly begin showing my affectionate side. When I truly trust someone, I’ll roll over to share my belly and enjoy those sweet, quiet moments together. I’m also comfortable being picked up, which helps me feel safe and close to my people. · With Dogs: I’m polite and calm when meeting unfamiliar dogs, usually greeting them briefly before going on my way rather than turning it into playtime. Very high-energy dogs can feel a little overwhelming to me, so I tend to prefer quieter, more relaxed company and even if another dog behaves rudely, I’d rather avoid conflict and simply move away. When I’m with my person, I’m often more focused on staying close to them than paying much attention to the dogs around me. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have moderate energy level – I enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring at a relaxed, comfortable pace, then settling down peacefully once I’ve had my fun. Walks are one of my strengths—I move calmly on leash, stay nicely connected to my person, and naturally follow along with ease, making me a lovely companion for everyday outings.   TRAINING & HABITS I have a calm, easygoing nature and feel comfortable sharing my space, even around food. I’m generally very quiet and rarely bark. I settle nicely in a kennel I usually prefer doing my bathroom breaks 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 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    COLIN'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.co ##2736166##

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
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: 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##
