Story

Ohoh is currently in Korea but will arrive in Vancouevr on May 24.For more info about Ohoh, or the adoption application, please follow this link. BackgroundOhoh’s life hasn’t been easy. As a tiny puppy, he was found wandering in an apartment complex in Wanju, Korea. He was sent to a city pound, where he spent the next five years chained in a poor shelter with little comfort or care. This summer, Ohoh finally came to us and has been living at our boarding house, where he is safe and loved while waiting for his forever family.Personality & SocializationOhoh is a gentle, sweet, and loyal boy with a calm, easygoing nature. He has medium energy,happy to go for walks and spend time with people, but also content to relax quietly by your side. He’s very friendly with people, both men and women, and loves being close to his humans.When it comes to other dogs, Ohoh gets along well with gentle, friendly, and well-mannered dogs, but he doesn’t like overly bossy, dominant, or hyper dogs.BehaviourOhoh is well-behaved, obedient, and very smart. He bonds strongly with people and follows their lead easily. He rides calmly in the car, tolerates bath time, and is cooperative at the vet. He walks nicely on a leash, enjoys outdoor potty breaks, and is quiet indoors. We’ve rarely heard him bark. With a little training, Ohoh will blossom into a wonderful lifelong companion.Health & DietOhoh is neutered, microchipped, and fully up to date on his vaccines. He is dewormed and on monthly parasite prevention. When first rescued, he was treated for anaplasmosis, and he has since made a full recovery. He’s in good health and ready for his forever home. Ohoh eats dry kibble twice a day and has shown no allergies.Ideal HomeOhoh will thrive with a family looking for a calm, gentle, and loyal companion. He gets along well with other gentle, quiet, and well-mannered dogs, but he would be happiest as the only dog in a calm home. A quiet, relaxed lifestyle where he can soak up love and attention from his humans would be perfect for him. Ohoh is an easygoing and affectionate boy who simply wants to be by your side. Whoever adopts him will be very lucky.For more info about Ohoh, or the adoption application, please follow this link.

Good with dogs,

Story

Hi, my name is Milk 🐶 I’m about 6 months old, 10kg, and I’m a Jindo mix with a big heart and an even bigger curiosity for the world. I was rescued from a shelter where I was at risk of euthanasia, and ever since then, I’ve been learning that life can be full of love, fun, and kind people. Everything still feels new and exciting to me — every walk, every toy, every smell, every friend I meet. 😊 I absolutely LOVE people. I’ll happily follow you around, ask for cuddles, and show off my cutest little charms whenever I can. I also get along really well with other dogs and love running and playing with my furry friends. Because I’m still just a puppy, I have lots of energy and I’m still learning how to be on my own. Sometimes when I feel bored or lonely, I might chew on things or get a little anxious. But please remember — I’m not a “bad dog.” I’m simply a baby still learning about the world and how to feel safe in it. What helps me most is: 🐾 Lots of walks and playtime 🐾 Fun nose-work games and toys 🐾 Gentle practice being alone little by little 🐾 Calm, loving guidance and praise I’ve already experienced living in foster care, and I’m trying very hard to learn how to live happily with humans. With patience, routine, and love, I know I can grow into the most wonderful lifelong companion. Right now, I may still be clumsy, playful, and a little mischievous… but I promise my heart is full of love. I’m looking for a forever family who will stay by my side, teach me kindly, and love me through every stage of growing up. Could that family be you? 🤍

Story

Hi. I'm Mickey. Certified Good Boy™ (in training), professional zoomie technician, and part-time ear model.Okay, let's just address the elephant-or rather the ears-in the room. Yes, they're big. Yes, they're majestic. And no... they don't always work. Sometimes they hear "Mickey, come!" and translate it to "Mickey, dramatically sprint in the opposite direction like a majestic forest creature." We're working on it.I'm about 21 months old, which means I'm basically a teenager... with legs... and opinions... and the athleticism of an Olympic jumper. I'm a German Shepherd/Hound mix (we think), which means I've got the brains, the nose, and the enthusiasm-lots of it-to experience EVERYTHING this world has to offer... preferably at top speed.My journey? Oh, I've had one.I started out as a little stray pup up in the North Peace region back in February 2025-tiny, scrappy, and already handsome. From there, I packed my invisible suitcase and moved to Quesnel, then eventually made my way all the way down to Vancouver. I even had a home for a while... but turns out I was "too active" and "too much."Respectfully... I prefer the term "high-energy adventure enthusiast."Look, I'm still a puppy at heart. I've got springs in my legs, curiosity in my soul, and a very strong desire to be involved in everything you're doing at all times. Hiking? Great. Running? Amazing. Training games? YES PLEASE. Sitting quietly for 12 consecutive hours while you binge a show? ...I will try. For snacks.What I really need is someone who:Gets that I'm still learning and is excited to teach meHas an active lifestyle (bonus points if you like exploring trails-I am VERY into smells)Can help channel all this brilliance into being the best dog everDoesn't mind the occasional "selective listening moment" (again... ears are decorative sometimes)Because here's the thing-underneath all this playful chaos? I am so full of potential. I'm smart, loyal, eager, and I truly want to bond with my person. I just need someone willing to meet me where I am and grow with me.Also... I'm very handsome. This is important.If you're looking for a couch potato... I am respectfully not your guy.If you're looking for a best friend, adventure buddy, and slightly goofy soulmate with floppy antenna ears?👋 Hi. It's me.Ready to meet me?Fill out that pre-adoption questionnaire, and the team will set up a meet & greet so you can witness my charm (and my incredible zoomies) in person.Let's make my next stop my forever stop. 💙 Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Weight: 27.8 Age: 1yrs 9mths 0wks
