Story
QUICK FACTS Name: Jamong Age: About 2 Years Old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Chihuahua Mix Color: Brown Weight: 2.5kg / 6lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from a city shelter after being placed on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, rescuers stepped in and brought me to safety, giving me a second chance and a hopeful new beginning. Now, I’m ready to start the next chapter of my journey and find a loving forever family to call my own.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Spayed & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m Jamong! I’m an unbelievably tiny and adorable girl, but don’t let my size fool you—I have a surprisingly brave little personality packed into this miniature body. I can sometimes look timid because I become very submissive around people, but underneath that soft exterior is a confident little character who isn’t nearly as fragile as she looks. People are definitely my soft spot. I genuinely love humans and will approach people on my own, but the moment someone comes toward me, I tend to melt straight onto the floor. I’ll lower my head, flatten myself down, and often roll over to show my belly. Sometimes even making eye contact is enough to make me adorably flustered! Once I’m interacting with people, though, I’m incredibly gentle and affectionate, with plenty of sweetness to share. With dogs, I have a completely new side. Bigger dogs generally don’t bother me much, but if a dog around my own size gets too close or pesters me, I’m perfectly capable of telling them what I think. I may growl or stand my ground, and despite my tiny stature, I can be surprisingly bold during a disagreement. Apparently, nobody told me how small I am! I’d love a family who appreciates the hilarious contrast that makes me so memorable: with humans, I’m a tiny sweetheart who practically melts into the floor for affection; with certain dog friends, I suddenly seem convinced I’m ten times my actual size. Give me plenty of love, respect my boundaries, and keep this tiny body safe, and you’ll get a wonderfully affectionate little companion with more personality—and courage—than anyone could possibly expect from such a small package.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I’m naturally friendly and affectionate with people, and I’m happy to approach both familiar faces and new people for attention. I enjoy leaning in for affection and am comfortable being petted—even with someone I’ve just met, I may feel comfortable enough to roll over and show my belly. I haven’t had experience with children under 13 yet, so my comfort level with younger kids is still unknown. · With Dogs: I’m comfortable approaching unfamiliar dogs to say hello, though I usually prefer a friendly greeting rather than jumping straight into play. I generally do well with dogs bigger than me. If another dog challenges me, I may try to stand my ground rather than back away—even if my attempt at being tough isn’t particularly convincing! Because of this, calm and careful introductions are still important when I’m meeting a new dog for the first time. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate energy level – I enjoy spending time outdoors, but I’m also happy to settle down and relax afterward. I’m still working on my leash skills and may pull at times, but overall, I follow my person well and respond to their guidance on walks.   TRAINING & HABITS I don’t guard my food around people or other dogs I rarely bark. I’m calm and settled when I’m in a kennel I’m comfortable with both indoor pee pads and going potty 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    JAMONG'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2827581##

Story
Herman is a sweet little senior with an adorable face, a love of comfy dog beds, and a soft spot for canine companionship. He’s happiest spending his days relaxing in the living room, soaking up the sunshine on the patio, or napping close to his people. One of Herman’s best qualities is how well he gets along with other dogs. He enjoys their company, follows their lead, and would likely do well in a home with another calm, friendly dog. He’s generally a quiet little guy who rarely barks and is content to observe the world around him. Herman has a delightfully independent personality and definitely marches to the beat of his own drum. He takes time to build trust, but once he forms a bond with his person, we believe he’ll become an even more devoted companion. Because he can be sensitive when handled in ways he doesn’t like, Herman is looking for an adult-only home with someone who understands and respects a dog’s boundaries. He has tried to nip both his foster mom and the vet. Like many senior dogs, Herman comes with a few special needs. He is not yet housetrained and currently wears a belly band indoors. He appears to have spent much of his life using pee pads and is still learning that outside is the place to go. His adopter should expect that house-training will require patience, consistency, and plenty of time at home. A family that’s comfortable continuing with belly bands or indoor potty options may find that suits Herman best. Herman has low exercise needs and isn’t interested in long walks. A secure yard or patio where he can enjoy fresh air and sunshine is just his style. He rides quietly in a carrier for car trips and settles nicely at home when left alone for a few hours. Herman can live with dog-savvy cats, although he may chase them if given the opportunity. He also appears to prefer eating his meals separately from other dogs. If you’re looking for a tiny companion with a big personality, appreciate quirky seniors, and have the patience to let trust grow at Herman’s pace, this little fellow may be exactly the dog you’ve been waiting for. In return, you’ll gain a loyal companion who simply wants a safe, understanding home where he can enjoy his golden years.

Story
Meet Boomer - a tiny little guy with a BIG personality and an even bigger heart! Boomer is happy, playful, affectionate and absolutely loves being with his people. He loves his toys, enjoys going outside and is always ready for whatever fun comes next. But his favourite place? Right beside his person. In fact, if you stop moving for a minute, Boomer will happily park himself right on your feet - just to make sure you don't sneak away without him! Because he likes to stay so close, a home without someone who is at risk of falling would be best for this little shadow. Boomer would love nothing more than to sleep in bed with his person, although he has learned that there simply isn't room for him right now! He settles beautifully in his kennel at night and doesn't complain. And while he has plenty of playful puppy energy, Boomer also knows how to turn it off. After some playtime, he is perfectly happy to curl up for a nap. Boomer and Millie Mae were picked up together as strays by Animal Control. Boomer may have started out as a stray, but he is clearly ready to be someone's beloved little companion. He's sweet, silly, affectionate and happiest when he knows his person is close. This little guy doesn't need a complicated life - he just needs someone who will let him be their shadow, toss him a toy, take him outside and give him a safe place to land.

Story
Pillsbury, affectionately known as Princess, truly lives up to both of her names. This sweet little girl has a gentle soul and a heart full of love. She is happiest when she's curled up beside her people, soaking up cuddles, belly rubs, and any opportunity to be held. If you're looking for a devoted lap dog, Princess is ready to claim that spot forever. She enjoys playing with her canine friends, but she's just as content settling in for a cozy nap after a little fun. With her calm, easygoing personality, she fits seamlessly into daily life and is a wonderfully low-maintenance companion. Princess is house and crate trained, walks nicely on leash, rides beautifully in the car, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs and even cats. She isn't food aggressive and only joins in barking if the other dogs decide to sound the alarm. Princess loves everyone she meets and has a naturally affectionate personality. While she hasn't had much opportunity to spend time with young children yet, her foster believes her gentle, loving nature will make her a wonderful family companion. After spending time with Princess, it's easy to understand why everyone falls in love with her. In fact, her foster admits that if it were possible, they would happily keep her themselves! She is the kind of dog who asks for so little yet gives so much in return. All Princess needs now is a family who will cherish her as much as she will cherish them. She truly is the complete package and will make an incredible lifelong companion.

Story
These puppies don't know how lucky they are! Their momma was found dumped and pregnant on the side of a Kentucky backroad, and a friendly couple decided that they would take in momma at least long enough for her to give birth safely to the babies.When the babies were just a week old, it became very obvious to this couple that they were not going to be able to continue to provide for the babies. Thankfully, a friend was able to connect them to someone who would help and foster the puppies safely from 3 weeks old until they were adopted!These are the puppies now! Thriving, loved, having no idea that they narrowly escaped tragedy twice. They are so energetic, learning manners, playful, and happy to be with people. They would make a perfect addition to just about any home, and should be about medium size dogs once they reach adulthood! Poppy is the spunkiest puppy of them all! She is non-stop energy and always jumping up at you looking for your attention. Poppy is loud when she feels ignored, and isn't afraid to let you know exactly what she wants!
