Story

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to Vancouver & Toronto💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet Babkong🩷 💙 Babkong's News Account: @on.theway_home 1.) Health Status * Spayed: Not yet. * Others: Microchipped. 2.) Rescue Story * Babkong had been staying at the Gimje City Shelter alone since he was a puppy. She was exposed to an epidemic and the sudden cold, so Adogs rushed to rescue her. 3.) Basic Matters ❗Is still a young puppy, so training may be needed because she may have separation anxiety, potty problem, biting, whining, destroying, howling, barking, etc. ❗It is difficult to predict her grown-up size or shedding because her parents are unknown. * With People: Is a little shy but likes people so much that she snoops around them and gets used to them quickly. Approaches people she knows and acts cute. Exposes her tummy and wags the tail immediately when people reach out to touch her. Basically, trusts people easily and is fearless. Also gets treatment bravely. * With Dogs: Is a very nice dog! Sends signals to dogs he meets for the first time, as if saying, "Let's play right away." Loves to play with dogs to whom she is familiar! Is not afraid of big dogs, and tends to quite articulate her feeling. However, bites and bothers them, so careful monitoring is needed when playing with friends. * With Cats: Not confirmed yet because she hasn't encountered a cat. * Separation Anxiety: Sleeps well even if left alone. Plays with doggy friends or sleeps, while with them. Is a little shy at first with strangers, but gets used to them quickly, and gets comfortable. * House Training: Has a 90% success rate of the pad. The remaining 10% is to spill over the edge of the pad rather than anywhere else without a pad. Recognizes the exact location of the pad, and only defecates on the pad. Accurately recognizes the pad and defecates even when the environment changes. * Walk: Hasn't gone for a walk because she hasn't been vaccinated yet. * Hygiene: Accepts bathing, drying, brushing, and pedicuring without issues. * Car Sickness: Hasn't had any symptoms of car sickness yet. * Nip: Tends to bite because it's a ticklish time of teething. * Barking: Sometimes whines to demand it when asking for play or food. * Like: Really loves food, so follows people actively when they are holding it! Is not picky but gluttonous, so tends to learn everything quickly. * Trick: Understands the commands such ad 'sit down', and 'paw'.

Story

Meet Choco Name: Choco Age: 3 months Sex: Female Spayed: No (too young) Breed: Jindo mix Color: Brown & White Weight: 6.6 kg Height: 38 cm (shoulder) Rescue Story Choco was born to a Husky-mix mother who was living as a yard dog in Korea. She has since been safely moved into foster care and is currently receiving her vaccinations while getting ready for adoption With People Choco is very affectionate and friendly. She happily approaches both familiar and unfamiliar people, rubs against them, and enjoys being petted. While she hasn’t had direct experience with children under 13 yet, she is gentle and comfortable being held, and once she feels close to someone, she loves to show her belly. She is a people-loving puppy who enjoys staying close to her humans. With Other Dogs Choco is social and friendly with both familiar and unfamiliar dogs. She especially enjoys dogs around her own size and generally plays well with them. Because she is still completing her vaccinations, she hasn’t had many outdoor dog interactions yet, but her temperament with other dogs has been positive. With Cats Not tested yet. Leash & Walking Choco has not started walks yet as she is still in the middle of her vaccination schedule. At Home • No food guarding with people or other dogs • May do light demand barking when she wants something (her voice is soft) • Currently not showing separation anxiety, but she does like to stay close to people and follow them around the house • Can be left alone for 1–2 hours without issues and greets her people excitedly when they return • Whines briefly in the crate but settles down and falls asleep • Uses indoor pee pads for potty Energy Level Since she hasn’t started walks yet, Choco has a higher level of activity indoors and enjoys running and playing around the house. Once she begins regular walks and outdoor exercise, this should balance out nicely. What Makes Choco Special Choco is a sweet, affectionate, and people-oriented puppy who loves being close to her humans. With proper exercise, training, and companionship, she will grow into a loving and loyal family member Apply to adopt or foster: https://adoptmekr.org Please also visit our Facebook or Instagram.

Story

Meet Aru Name: Aru Age: 3 months Sex: Female Spayed: No (too young) Breed: Husky × Jindo mix Color: Black & White Weight: 4.9 kg Height: 30 cm (shoulder) Rescue Story Aru was born as one of six puppies to a Husky-mix mother who was living as a yard dog in Korea. She has now been safely moved into foster care, where she is receiving her vaccinations and getting ready for her forever home With People Aru is very affectionate and friendly. She happily approaches both familiar and unfamiliar people, rubs against them, and enjoys being petted. She loves both men and women and is especially great with children under 13. She enjoys being picked up and carried, and often rolls over to show her belly when she’s playing. With Other Dogs Aru is very social and loves other dogs of all sizes. She eagerly approaches both familiar and unfamiliar dogs to say hello and invite them to play. Sometimes she can be a little too enthusiastic and doesn’t always realize when another dog needs space, especially with bigger dogs — she is currently living with a large dog and is so fearless that she sometimes gets corrected for being too bold. Overall, she loves dogs and plays well with them. With Cats She has not been officially tested with cats yet, but because she is playful and curious, she could do well with a cat who is comfortable with dogs. Energy Level Aru has a moderate energy level. She enjoys outdoor activities, but after playtime or walks, she settles nicely and rests calmly. Leash & Walking She has just started leash training and is still learning. Right now, she tends to pull and go in the direction she wants, so she will need continued practice and guidance. At Home When Aru first arrived, she cried for about a week while adjusting to her new environment, but she is now settled and no longer cries. She may bark when she gets over-excited while playing with other dogs or when she doesn’t get what she wants right away. She still whines a bit in her crate but eventually falls asleep. If she wakes up and wants to come out, she may cry again. When left alone, she usually just sleeps and can also entertain herself with toys. She is currently doing both indoor pee-pad potty and outdoor potty training and has been left alone for up to 3–4 hours without issues. What Makes Aru Special Aru is a happy, playful, loving puppy who enjoys people, dogs, and life in general. She would do wonderfully in a home that can continue her training, give her regular outdoor time, and let her grow into the confident, joyful dog she’s meant to be Apply to adopt or foster: https://adoptmekr.org Please also visit our Facebook or Instagram.
