Story

Hi, my name is Bongi🤍 I’m a 5-month-old puppy, born to a Sapsali mother who had been neglected in the countryside. My dad is unknown, so no one can say for sure how big I’ll grow— but one thing is certain: I’ve inherited my mom’s gentle and loving heart. I absolutely love people. I’m affectionate and sweet, and I’m the kind of puppy who happily comes up to you first to share my heart. I get along well with other dogs, and my favorite thing in the world is running and playing with my puppy friend, Bonggu. I’m still just a baby. Almost everything in this world is new to me. If I’m adopted into a home, everything will be a first— the sounds inside a house, furniture, walks outside, and living alongside people in their everyday routines. Because I’m still young, I may chew on things, get mischievous, and show all that playful puppy energy. That’s why I need a family who understands the puppy stage and is willing to grow through it together with me. Being separated suddenly from my mom, my siblings, and the environment I know may cause some separation anxiety at first. So I’m hoping for someone who can spend plenty of time with me in the beginning and help me feel safe. With proper guidance, lots of love, and patient care, I’ll grow into a dog who is deeply loyal, warm-hearted, and devoted to my family. I’m looking for my forever family— someone who will be there for my first steps, my growth, and all the moments in between. Will you be the one to walk through the beginning of my life with me? 🤍🐾

Story

Hello, let me introduce myself 🤍 I’m a 3-year-old White Terrier mix girl, weighing about 7kg (15 lb)—small, gentle, and precious. I was rescued just moments before euthanasia at a shelter, and thanks to that second chance, I’m now safe, healthy, and learning what love truly feels like. After leaving the shelter, I completed my heartworm treatment, and I’m now in great condition with a healthy appetite. Despite my small size, I absolutely love people, and I get along well with other dogs too. In new places, I may feel a little shy at first. But it doesn’t take long for me to open my heart— soon, I’ll walk up to you on my own, wagging my tail and asking for affection. I enjoy walks, and once I feel comfortable, I love to run and play happily. I’m especially affectionate with people, the kind of dog who naturally brings a smile just by being nearby. Home life may still be new to me. If I meet my forever family, I’ll need to learn things like potty training step by step. But I’m very gentle and eager to please, so with love and patience, I promise I’ll do my very best. I’m also incredibly calm— you’ll hardly ever hear me bark. I may be small and delicate, but I’m ready to meet my family, to be loved for a lifetime, and to live a truly happy life. I’m ready to be held, ready to be cherished, ready to become someone’s most precious part of the world 🤍

Good with dogs,

Story

Hi, my name is Nyx 🤍 I’m a Schnauzer–Maltese mix boy, about 1 year old, and I weigh around 5kg (11 lb). I’m still very young—just beginning to learn what the world is like. I was rescued from an animal hoarding situation. More than 80 dogs were crowded into a small space where it was hard to even breathe. There was no protection, no arms to hold me. I survived each day by quietly protecting myself. Anxiety was part of everyday life. Even food meant competition. In that place, I didn’t cry, and I didn’t hope—I just endured, silently. Thankfully, I was rescued and brought to a training center. The good news is that my body is surprisingly healthy. But in my heart, traces of that past still remain, making me a little cautious at first. When I first arrived, I was shy and unsure. But with treats and gentle patience, I slowly began to come closer. It turns out I missed human touch more than anyone realized. I really wanted to be held, to feel warmth— and I show that longing with my whole little heart. In new environments, I may seem timid at first. But if you give me just a little time, I’ll come to you on my own and quietly ask, “Please love me.” I’ve never lived alone before, so I may have some separation anxiety. That’s why I’m hoping for a home where someone can be with me often and help me feel safe. I get along well with other dogs and know how to interact gently without conflict. Everything about home life is new to me. Living inside a house, going on walks, spending ordinary days with people— I’m learning all of it, one step at a time. I’m only one year old. Still so young, and only now beginning to discover the world. I’m looking for a family who will teach me with love, who won’t scold me for mistakes, and who will gently say, “It’s okay.” I’m a dog who deeply longs for human love. Affectionate, sweet, and always looking to my person. I’m waiting— for a forever family who will hold me in their warm arms and never let me go 🤍

Good with dogs,

Story

Nancy is a 6kg female Welsh Corgi–Jindo mix. With her short legs and fluffy coat, she’s an irresistibly charming girl who brings a smile the moment you see her. Nancy was rescued just in time from the euthanasia list and is now preparing for a brand-new life while patiently waiting for her forever family. Despite everything she’s been through, she has an incredibly gentle and calm nature. She is so quiet that we have rarely, if ever, heard her bark, and her heart toward people is truly beautiful. She tends to prefer humans over other dogs and has a naturally calm, well-mannered personality without being overly excitable. After going for a walk, Nancy is the type of dog who relaxes peacefully at home, staying close by her person and enjoying quiet companionship. She is still in the process of learning household potty training, but because she is so sweet, stable, and eager to please, she is expected to learn well with patient and consistent guidance. In unfamiliar environments, Nancy may appear a little shy at first. However, once she feels safe, she begins to approach on her own, showing affection and soon following her person everywhere. When Nancy opens her heart to someone, she builds deep trust and stays by their side with quiet devotion. For anyone looking for a calm, affectionate, and gentle companion, Nancy would make a truly lifelong friend. She is now waiting for a family who can offer her not uncertainty, but a warm home and a simple, happy everyday life filled with love.

Story

Hi, my name is Toto! I’m a tiny little guy who fits perfectly in your arms, but my heart is big and full of love. 💛 Since I’m only one year old, the world still feels brand new to me—and I have so much to learn! When we go for walks, I sometimes get very excited. I move around quickly, look everywhere with curious eyes, and seem a little busy taking it all in. That’s because I’m still a puppy at heart. With a family who gently teaches me, waits for me, and spends time growing together, I know I can become a well-mannered and confident companion. I absolutely love to play and I have lots of energy! More than anything, I love being with people. Just having someone nearby makes my tail wag nonstop. I’m friendly and brave with new people, and I tend to make friends very quickly. If you give me love, I promise to give you even more in return. If I have to travel a long distance by plane, I might feel a little sensitive at first in a new environment. But don’t worry—once I feel safe, I’ll be the first to come over, wagging my tail and asking for affection. I open my heart quickly when I feel warmth and stability from my people. I’m still learning about outdoor potty training, so I’ll need patience and guidance. If you’re looking for a “perfect” dog right away, I might not be that—but if you’re looking for a puppy to grow with, learn with, and love for a lifetime, I could be your little soulmate. I may be small, but my presence is big. With my energy, innocence, and loving nature, I’m ready to fill your home with joy. I’m waiting for a forever family who will turn my days from “being protected” into a life truly loved. Could that family be you? 🐾💖
