Story
QUICK FACTS Name: Ilpyeon Age: 5 months old Gender: Male (Neutered) Breed: Dachshund mix Color: Black, White Weight:  5.8kg / 13lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I’m incredibly lucky to be alive today. My story could have ended very differently, but a kind rescuer found me just in time while I was being sold to be made into dog wine and stepped in to save my life. With nowhere else to go, I eventually ended up at a city pound, still waiting for the safety and love of a home. Thankfully, I was rescued once again and am now safe at a care facility, surrounded by people who are giving me the love and care I deserve. I’ve been given an incredible second chance at life, and now there’s just one thing missing: a forever family to call my own. I’m ready to leave my difficult past behind and fill the rest of my story with love, adventures, and happy memories.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY I have the cutest oversized ears that look adorably big for my little face, along with a unique tail that makes me instantly recognizable! They’re definitely some of the first things people notice about me and only add to my one-of-a-kind charm. Despite everything I’ve endured, I’m remarkably trusting and friendly with both people and my dog friends. The volunteers and staff are especially determined to find me the wonderful home I deserve. I’ve already overcome so much and am incredibly lucky to be here today, but I haven’t let my past take away my ability to love and trust. Now I’m ready for the best chapter of my life, with a family who will cherish me just as much as I’ll cherish them.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I’m super friendly with people and love making new friends! I happily greet new people, soak up all the pets and attention. I’m also comfortable being picked up and held. With my social personality, eagerness to learn, and puppy charm, I’m sure I’ll make a wonderful companion to my lucky family. · With Dogs: I’m friendly and social with my dog friends too! I love greeting new dogs, making new friends, and joining them for some fun playtime. I’m still a young puppy learning my social manners, and I’m excited to keep growing and experiencing the world alongside my dog friends. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown. A cat test can be arranged to ensure the best fit.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate energy level and enjoy a nice balance of adventure and relaxation. I love spending time outdoors, exploring, sniffing around, and enjoying the fresh air with my people. Once I’ve had my fun, I’m just as happy heading back inside to snuggle up, get cozy, and enjoy some well deserved rest.   TRAINING & HABITS I’m still learning my leash manners and getting better every day with practice, patience, and positive guidance. I have great manners around food and don’t guard my meals from either people or other dogs. I may occasionally bark when I’m looking for a little extra attention, but I’m learning how to communicate more calmly. I already know how to settle and rest peacefully in my kennel, which is pretty impressive for a young pup like me! For potty habits, I currently go both indoors using pee pads and outdoors. I’m still young with plenty to learn, but I’m a smart boy with lots of potential, and with continued guidance from my forever family, I’m sure I’ll grow into a wonderful, well mannered companion.   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 • Understanding I’m a young pup and will need continued socialization and guidance   SPECIAL NOTES You would never guess that I came from such a dark and heartbreaking past. Despite everything I’ve been through, I haven’t lost my trust in the world. I’m a bright, happy boy who loves meeting new people and making dog friends wherever I go. I’m alive today because someone chose not to look the other way. A kind student saw what was happening to me and stepped in to save my life, giving me the second chance I desperately needed. Thanks to that act of kindness, I now get to look forward to a future filled with love instead of fear. I’m resilient, social, and adaptable, and the volunteers and staff believe I’ll adjust beautifully to life with my forever family. My past may be part of my story, but it certainly doesn’t define the joyful boy I am today.   ILPYEON'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2819516##

Story
Meet Lotus (Lolo)! ❤️ At 10 years young and just 7.5 pounds, Lotus—affectionately known as Lolo—is a tiny sweetheart with a big personality. With her short legs and long body, we think she may be a Chiweenie mix, although she certainly has plenty of Chihuahua charm! Lolo came into rescue through no fault of her own when her loving owner could no longer afford the treatment she needed for seizures. Thanks to proper veterinary care, she is now stable and thriving. She will need lifelong medication, which she happily takes tucked inside a tiny pill pocket. Aside from her well-managed seizures and some mild age-related vision changes, she's in wonderful health. She has also had a dental, been spayed, and had a benign mammary tumour removed. Lolo is equal parts sweet and sassy! She gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home and is good with respectful children, though her tiny size makes her better suited to a home without very young kids. She hasn't been tested with cats. This little lady loves life! She enjoys zoomies, playing fetch with soft toys, and proudly removing every squeaker and bit of stuffing she can find. When playtime is over, she's happiest curled up in your lap giving kisses or snuggled under the blankets beside you at bedtime. Lotus loves sunny days, leisurely walks filled with lots of sniffing, and spending time outdoors. She has good emerging leash manners and is fully house-trained in her foster home, using either the yard or pee pads. Like many dogs, she may need a little patience while adjusting to a new home, but she's a quick learner. Lolo can be vocal when she hears noises or visitors arrive—not because she's unfriendly, but because she'd much rather be picked up for cuddles! Because of this, a detached home would likely suit her better than an apartment or townhouse. If you're looking for a loving little companion with plenty of personality, Lotus is ready to fill your home—and your lap—with love.
