Story

Meet Joonsoo A 1-year-old Jindo mix boy, about 13 kilos, with a sensitive heart and an incredible capacity for trust and love. When you first meet Joonsoo, he may seem shy and cautious. New environments and unfamiliar people can feel overwhelming at first. However, if you show him that he is safe, he learns to trust surprisingly quickly. Once that trust is built, Joonsoo becomes deeply devoted and attached to his person. Joonsoo has never lived inside a home before, so during the first days he may show a bit of puppy mischief as he adjusts to indoor life. The transition to a new home may be challenging at first, but with consistency, calm guidance, and reassurance, he will settle in. He does very well with other dogs and has a submissive, gentle personality. He avoids conflict and doesn’t like to fight, making him a wonderful companion for a home with friendly dogs. Once he trusts his person, he can be walked outside easily and enjoys staying close. Despite his initial shyness, Joonsoo truly loves to cuddle and finds comfort in quiet affection. He would thrive in a patient, understanding home, ideally a calm environment with someone willing to give him time to feel safe and build confidence. Joonsoo is looking for kindness, patience, and one special person to trust. Give him safety, and he will give you his whole heart.

Story

Hello, I’m Sebastian 🐾 A 3-year-old Labrador–Doberman mix, about 27 kilos of love, elegance, and joy. I’ve got the long, lean body of a Doberman and the warm, food-loving heart of a Labrador — truly the best of both worlds. My journey hasn’t always been easy. I spent too long in a city shelter and eventually found myself on the euthanasia list. Just in time, Dream Tails stepped in and gave me a second chance, bringing me to their training center — and now I’m ready for the next chapter of my life. I get along wonderfully with other dogs and communicate beautifully with them, showing my feelings clearly and setting boundaries in a calm, respectful way. I walk nicely on leash and don’t pull, making our walks something we can both enjoy. I’m often told I’m very handsome — but what truly sets me apart is my heart. I’m overflowing with love, and every bit of attention makes my heart feel like it might burst. I can’t wait to experience the comfort of a warm home and to finally feel safe with my forever family. Because I haven’t lived in a home before, I might show a little puppy mischief at first as I adjust. With patience, guidance, and understanding, I’ll settle in and thrive — I promise my love will make it all worth it. All I’m dreaming of is a family who will give me time, kindness, and cuddles… especially cozy moments on the sofa with my mommy and daddy. 🫶🏻 Could you be my forever family?

Story

Hi, my name is Haerang 🐾 I’m a 3-year-old male Shiba–Welsh mix, weighing about 7kg. I have a slim body, short little legs, and bright, sparkling eyes that people often fall in love with right away. I was rescued from a shelter where euthanasia was taking place. Before that, I spent a long time in a shelter environment where I didn’t get many chances to experience the world. I was very shy and fearful back then, often hiding quietly on my own. But I’ve changed a lot since then. As I learned what human warmth feels like, I slowly opened my heart. Now, I truly love people. When you call my name, I’ll happily roll over and show you my belly, wiggling my way toward you for affection. I have a very gentle, calm, and stable personality, and being with me tends to make people feel relaxed and at ease without even realizing it. My favorite thing in the world is my person. I can coexist peacefully with other dogs and even cats, but I’m more of a “one-on-one” kind of guy. I’m happiest in a quiet, calm home where I can enjoy peaceful time with my family rather than a busy, crowded environment. I already know the command “house,” I walk nicely on leash, and I do well riding in the car too. With potty training, I might have a few small accidents in a brand-new environment, but I’m very steady and gentle by nature—if you guide me patiently and kindly, I’ll learn just fine. In unfamiliar places, I may seem a little timid at first. But give me some time, and I’ll be the one coming to you, asking for love. Before you know it, I’ll be following you everywhere like your little shadow—your loyal, affectionate “velcro dog.” I’m not a dog who adjusts instantly. I’m a dog who blossoms when someone waits for me and believes in me. I’ve been learning to trust human arms again, and now I’m ready to give my whole heart to one forever family. If you’re looking for a quiet, gentle companion who will stay close by your side for life, I’m right here—waiting just for you. 💛

Story

Hi… my name is Aria 🤍 I’m a 1-year-old female Cocker Spaniel mix, and I weigh about 6kg. I’m very small and very quiet—so quiet that sometimes people don’t notice me at first. I was rescued from an animal hoarding situation. There were more than 80 dogs living in a space so crowded there was hardly room to stand. In that place, I learned to curl my body in tight and stay still, just to protect myself. I was so gentle and timid that even when other dogs were rough with me, I never cried out or fought back. I just endured everything in silence. Thankfully, I was rescued—and for the first time, I was held in human arms. Because of my past, I rely on people more than other dogs. At first, even a gentle touch felt unfamiliar and scary. But little by little, as I felt human warmth, I began to calm down and feel safe. I don’t demand attention. I’ll quietly walk over and sit beside you. That’s how I show my love. Just being close is enough for me. I am extremely gentle, very small, and truly beautiful— but more than anything, I am incredibly loving. I sometimes use pee pads, but if my environment changes, I’ll need patient guidance and time to relearn. I’m new to home life, so everything I experience is part of my learning journey. Because I spent so long surrounded by many dogs, I may have some separation anxiety. That’s why I hope to meet a family who can spend a lot of time with me and help me feel secure. For so long, I lived in a narrow, dark space, curled up just to survive. Now, I hope to learn how to lean comfortably into my family’s love— to rest without fear, and to belong. I’m waiting for my first and last true family. If you choose me, I promise to stay by your side, quietly and faithfully, with my whole heart. 🕊️

Story

Hi, I’m Jolie My name means “pretty” in French… and I think you’ll quickly understand why. I’m a two -year-old Jindo mix girl with a gentle heart and so much love to give. Not long ago, my story almost ended far too soon. I was rescued by Dream Tails from a high-kill city shelter, where I had run out of time — along with many of my furry friends. My best friend has already found her forever home… and now I’m patiently waiting for mine. What do I dream about? Being close to you. Curling up beside you on the sofa. Taking peaceful naps. Learning the scent of a cozy, loving home and finally knowing what it means to belong. I’ve never lived inside a house before, so I’m still learning the ropes. I might get into a little puppy mischief now and then — but that’s part of the magic of adopting a rescue. With patience, guidance, and love, I’ll blossom into the most loyal companion you could ever ask for. I walk nicely on a leash and enjoy going on strolls, especially when I get to do it with someone I trust. More than anything, I’m a dog who craves affection and will give it back tenfold. If you’re looking for a best friend who will adore you endlessly, I’m your girl. I’m waiting for a home that’s ready to love me as much as I’m ready to love them. I already miss you… Please adopt me!
