Story

Oreo is a 3-year-old male Border Collie/Jindo mix who was rescued from a shelter just before he was scheduled for euthanasia. Sadly, and for unknown reasons, before finding himself abandoned and alone at the shelter, his teeth had been deliberately ground down. Amazingly and despite this, he remains a lively, energetic, and otherwise healthy dog who is remarkably intelligent, craves human interaction, and is very loyal to his guardian. Oreo has the exceptional intelligence typical of Border Collies, fully understanding various commands such as "sit," "wait," and "house." He is also deeply loyal to his guardian and has a strong capacity for forming deep bonds typical of the Jindo breed. He is truly a remarkable dog who has the capacity to grow into an even more amazing companion through continued obedience training and by establishing a trusting relationship with his guardian. Oreo is incredibly affectionate and loves people. He is also very social and gets along well with other dogs. However, he has a habit of jumping when excited, which requires caution when a person is interacting with him in a low position. With consistent training, this behavior can be corrected. Being highly energetic, Oreo possesses excellent jumping ability. At the training center, he has been known to leap over fences—not out of a desire to escape, but due to his curiosity and strong attachment to his guardian. In fact, he has demonstrated behavior where he jumps over a fence when he hears his guardian's voice outside, only to return shortly after. For this reason, families with yards should ensure proper supervision, and a high-fenced environment may be more suitable. The Ideal Family for Oreo is: ✔️ Someone who understands the high intelligence and energy levels of Border Collies, the exceptional loyalty of Jindos, and can provide sufficient mental and physical stimulation ✔️ Someone with experience in training or handling large dogs ✔️ Someone who values bonding with their dog and is ready to build a deep connection ✔️ Someone who can provide ample space for Oreo to move and exercise freely Despite his heartbreaking past, Oreo still loves people and finds his greatest happiness in being with his guardian. With so much intelligence and energy, he has limitless potential to become the perfect lifelong companion if he meets the right family, one that understands him and is ready to provide him with love, care, and proper training. Oreo is waiting for his new family! ❤️

All our dogs are vaccinated, sterilized and are fostered in homes with families. NOBARS believes that a dog is best assessed for a new home environment by living in one!!!!

Story

Hi, I’m Sky! ☀️🐾 I’m a 1-year-old Jindo mix girl with a petite little frame — I weigh about 11kg (around 24 pounds). I may be small, but my heart is huge, and I’ve got enough love and energy to light up your whole world! I was rescued from a shelter just in time, when I was waiting for something no dog should ever have to face. But now, I’m safe, hopeful, and dreaming about the day I meet my forever family — maybe that’s you? 🧡 My Personality I’m a bright, happy, and playful pup with tons of energy and a love for life! I love people so much that when I get excited, I sometimes try to jump up and hug your arm like a little koala — I know, not the best manners, but I’m working on it! I’m currently at a training school learning how to greet politely, and I’m a fast learner. With your patience and consistency, I’ll be the best-behaved girl in no time. 🐾 Puppy in Progress! I haven’t lived in a home before, so I’ll need your help with things like potty training and learning the household rules. I might have a few accidents or chew on something I shouldn’t at first — I’m just a curious girl discovering the world! I may also feel a little anxious if I’m left alone, but with time, love, and a routine I can count on, I’ll grow into a confident, well-adjusted companion. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Social Butterfly I warm up to people quickly — whether you’re old or young, if you’ve got love to give, I’m all in! I have so much affection to share, and I promise to return your kindness with wagging tails, happy zoomies, and all the kisses you can handle. Because I’m a young and energetic pup, I’d love a family who can take me on fun walks, play with me in the yard or park, and give me lots of mental and physical stimulation. If you’ve got an active lifestyle and a warm heart, we might just be a perfect match. 🌈 What I Need A patient, loving family who will guide me as I learn the ropes of home life Daily exercise and playtime to help me use up my bouncy energy Consistent training and boundaries so I can become my best self Cuddles. Lots of cuddles. 💕 I’m full of life, full of love, and full of hope. I believe that somewhere out there, a family is waiting for a dog just like me — one who’s sweet, silly, spirited, and ready to give her whole heart. Could I come home with you? Love always, Sky ☁️💛

Story

Hi, I’m Maple! 🍁🐶 I’m a 1-year-old Spitz–Welsh mix with a fluffy coat, short little legs, and a heart that’s ready to love — all packed into a petite 9kg (about 20 lbs) body. I was rescued from a shelter just in time, and now I’m dreaming of a forever home where I’ll never be scared or alone again. 💛 A Gentle Soul When we first meet, I might be a little shy — I’ve been through a lot, so I take a moment to feel safe. But once I know you're kind, I open up quickly. I really love people and I’m happiest when I’m near you. I’m affectionate, playful, and if you have a treat or two, I’ll be your best friend even faster! I also love playing with other dogs and making furry friends. I’m still young, so I enjoy running around and having fun — but I also know how to walk nicely beside you on a leash. I try to be polite and well-mannered, because I want to make you proud. 🎓 Still Learning I’ve never lived in a home before, so I’ll need your help learning some things — especially potty training. Sometimes, if I’m left alone for too long, I might feel a little anxious or get into some puppy mischief. But with a loving family, patience, and a stable routine, I’ll grow into a confident and well-behaved companion. I’m very treat-motivated, which makes training easier — and more fun for both of us! I just need your time, your guidance, and your love. 🏡 What I’m Looking For A kind, patient family who will help me learn and grow A safe space to call my forever home Daily walks, playtime, and lots of snuggles Someone who believes in second chances — because I sure do 💕 Despite everything I’ve been through, I’ve never stopped believing in people. My heart is full of hope and ready to be part of a family who will love me just as much as I love them. Could that be you? Let’s write our happy ending together. With all my love, Maple 🍁🐾

Samuel

Samoyed Jindo

Male, 2 yrs 1 mo

Calgary, AB

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Samuel is a 1-year 6-month-old male Samoyed-Jindo mix, weighing 17 kg. At just six months old, Samuel was placed on the euthanasia list at a city shelter along with his sibling, Yuel. Thankfully, they were both rescued, and he is now staying at our training center, slowly regaining his trust in people and desperately hoping to start a new life with his forever family. Samuel’s personality is very gentle and non-aggressive. However, due to his traumatic past, he tends to be wary of strangers and takes time to warm up to new people. When he first arrived at our training center, he was very shy, but after a few days, he gradually opened up and revealed his naturally sweet and affectionate personality. Because he does not easily approach unfamiliar people and will require ample time and patience to adjust, extra care should be taken during walks to prevent any escape attempts, and household entryways should be securely managed until he fully bonds with his new family. Like a typical Jindo mix, Samuel has an independent streak. However, he also strongly exhibits the Samoyed’s affectionate nature and responsiveness to human connection. Once he builds trust, he expresses deep affection. Samuel gets along well with other dogs and has formed a particularly strong bond with his sibling, Yuel. Since they have spent so much time together, he may experience separation anxiety if they are apart, and this should be considered when adopting. He currently goes outside for bathroom breaks three times a day and enjoys running freely with his canine friends in the exercise yard. However, during the adjustment period in a new home, occasional accidents may occur. Once he settles in, he should quickly adapt to an outdoor potty routine again. It is recommended to start taking him on walks only after he has bonded with his new family. Due to his Jindo mix heritage, he has a strong homing instinct. If he is suddenly taken far away or travels by plane, he may become confused and instinctively try to find his way back home. To prevent this, walks should only begin after he fully recognizes his adopter as family. Even then, a double leash or harness is essential for safety. Samuel still carries emotional scars from his traumatic past and may be shy and cautious at first. However, for those that are willing to endure that initial period and patiently wait for his trust, Samuel will become the most loyal and loving lifelong companion.

Story

Currently in a toronto foster home Meet Jaeya, a 1-year-old, 6.2kg female dog with a sweet and gentle personality. She came from a shelter where she was on the euthanasia list, but fortunately, she was rescued just in time and given a second chance at life. Jaeya has an incredibly social and friendly nature. She gets along well with all dogs and, though she may be a little shy when meeting new people, she quickly warms up and shows her affectionate side. She’s very people-friendly and doesn’t show fear, even towards adult men. Whether it's adults or children, Jaeya is comfortable around everyone and loves being part of the family. When it comes to walks, Jaeya is well-mannered. She doesn’t pull on the leash and enjoys strolling calmly. She’s not overly sensitive to the usual outdoor noises like traffic, signs, or other distractions, which makes her a perfect companion for daily walks. She gets along with other dogs as well, so she can thrive in both multi-dog and single-dog homes. Jaeya is already house-trained and does well both indoors and outdoors. She’s also comfortable wearing a harness and doesn’t mind it at all. There’s no food allergy or picky eating habits, and she happily takes her Nexgard. Jaeya is gentle even at the vet and gets her check-ups without any fuss, showing just how well-mannered she is. Although Jaeya hasn’t had formal training yet, she’s eager to learn in a calm and stable environment. With some patience and guidance, she’ll be a quick learner and adjust to any basic commands or house rules you set. Jaeya is an affectionate, easygoing, and adaptable dog who would thrive in a loving home where she can enjoy the simple pleasures of life, whether that’s being with family, going for walks, or just relaxing in a quiet space. She’s waiting for a family to show her what it means to be truly loved, and in return, she’ll give them endless affection and loyalty.
