Story
# 🐾 Hi, I'm Cherry! 🐾 Hello there! My name is Cherry, and I'm a 7-month-old Jindo mix with a coat as white as the first snowfall. I'm a petite pup, weighing in at just 10 kg, and I've been told my gentle eyes can melt hearts. ## My Rescue Story 🏠 I was rescued from a kill shelter, just in the nick of time. It was a close call, but now I'm safe, sound, and ready to find a family that will cherish me forever. ## A Little About Me 🌟 I'm a bit on the shy side, but don't let that fool you. Offer me a snack, and we'll be fast friends! I'll even show you my belly as a sign of trust. I'm a social butterfly with other dogs, always up for a friendly hello or a playful romp. ## My Personality 🐶 **Shy Yet Friendly**: I may need a moment to warm up, but once I do, I'm all about the cuddles. **Peaceful Pup**: I prefer to steer clear of trouble, even if other dogs are looking for it. **Focused Companion**: On walks, my attention is all on you, even if a curious cat crosses our path. **Quietly Energetic**: I love a good adventure outdoors but enjoy peaceful rest afterward. **Well-Mannered Walker**: I'm experienced on the leash and like to keep pace with my human pals. **Gentle Eater**: I'm not one to guard my food; I'm all about sharing the love. **Silent Type**: I hardly ever bark, preferring to keep things calm and serene. **Independent Traveler**: I know the drill when it comes to car rides, hopping in and out with ease. **House-Trained**: I know where to go whether it's indoor pads or the great outdoors. ## My Dream Home 🏡 I've been in a foster home since I was just a tiny pup, so I know the ins and outs of house living. I'm great with my doggy friends and still have that playful puppy spirit. I adore people and show my affection freely once I get to know you. Snacks are the way to my heart, and I'm patient with strangers, warming up in my own time. I'm looking for someone who understands the unique and loving nature of Jindos. If you're ready for a lifetime of love, play, and companionship, I'm the perfect little Cherry on top! **Puppy kisses and wagging tail,** Cherry 🐕🤍

Story
Age: 10 monthsWeight: 18.8 kgA bit about me:- unknown history with kids; interactions should be supervised- unknown history with cats; slow, supervised intro recommended- dogs okay pending successful introductionWishbone, like the pup from the TV show, is a sweet and heroic little guy who found his way to our shelter as a stray. He has quickly endeared himself to our shelter staff, especially if you bring a treat for him! Wishbone may do well with other pets or children. A friendly respectful dog that can play nicely would be wonderful for him, or maybe some kids to snuggle!

Story
Thank you for your interest in Charlie. He was loved his whole life but sometimes life takes a turn and, well, that's how Charlie found his way into our care. Sometimes people wonder how an older dog will do when they have to move to a new home. Charlie proved that they can just come in, say, "Hello", and settle in for a nap. Honestly, he is an incredible dog!
