Details

Story

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to YVR & YYZ💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. 💙 Name: Kkaebong 💙 Gender: Female 💙 Age: Estimated 2 years old (Born in June 2024) 💙 Weight: 18.8 kg / 41.45 lb 💙 Adogs News Account: @_adogs_ 1️⃣ Health Condition * Spayed. * Microchipped and heartworm negative. 2️⃣ Rescue Story * Kkaebong was staying at the Cheongju City Shelter. After spending more than a year without a single inquiry, she was ultimately placed on the urgent euthanasia list. Unable to turn away from this gentle girl in her most critical moment, Adogs stepped in to rescue her just in time. 3️⃣ Basic Information * With People: Has no initial shyness around strangers, though she is naturally polite and gentle rather than rushing in over-enthusiastically. Is currently taking her time to settle into our center and is beautifully building trust with her handlers at her own comfortable pace. * With Dogs: Even when other dogs bark or react inside their runs, she remains beautifully unfazed, simply wagging her tail calmly. Has not had direct face-to-face interactions with other dogs yet; her canine sociability will be further evaluated in the future. * With Cats: Has not met a cat yet. * Separation Anxiety: Currently unknown due to the communal environment at our center. Age-appropriate decompression and independence training will be recommended upon transitioning into a home. * Potty Training: Currently practices indoor elimination at our center. A change in environment will require a patient re-establishment of house-training. * Hygiene: Has not experienced a full grooming routine yet. * Walks: When she first steps outside, she displays a bit of initial excitement by spinning and leaning into her harness. However, after a few moments, she settles down beautifully, utilizing her nose to sniff the environment and enjoying a lovely, controlled walk. * Car Sickness: Currently unknown; this will need to be evaluated in the future. * Is a gentle soul who has never shown a single sign of biting or snapping. * Is exceptionally quiet and has not displayed any barking or whining at our center. However, consistent guidance may be needed upon settling into a household. * Is an inherently stoic, calm, and grounded girl. Rarely gets overly excited or reactive, consistently displaying a wonderfully stable, steady, and gentle disposition.

Story

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to YVR & YYZ💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. 💙 Name: Hoonie 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 2 years old (Born around July 2024) 💙 Weight: 2.5 kg (approx. 5.5 lbs) 💙 Huni's News Account: @imbo_huni 1️⃣ Health Status * Neutered: Yes. * Other: Microchipped, and heartworm negative. 2️⃣ Rescue Story * Hoonie was staying at the Gimje Shelter, enduring the sweltering summer heat with his tiny body. He was covered in ticks and exhausted from malnutrition. Concerned for his health, Adogs urgently rescued him. 3️⃣ Personality & Characteristics * With People: Loves people and has zero shyness! Is a total lap dog who loves asking for pets and sitting on warm laps. * With Dogs: Hasn't met other dog friends yet. * With Cats: Hasn't met any cats yet. * Separation Anxiety: Hasn't been left alone for long periods so it's hard to tell precisely. But since he sleeps separately without issues, he likely doesn't have much separation anxiety. * Potty Training: Uses indoor potty pads. Shows a 60–70% success rate for pee, while poop has been 100% successful after just a couple of early mistakes. Since he made a mistake on his cushion once, it was removed for training purposes. Is steadily learning at his foster home. * Grooming/Hygiene: Doesn't love it, but tolerates it very patiently. * Walks: Has no walking experience yet as he is waiting for his vaccinations. * Car Rides: Rides cars very well without motion sickness—usually falls asleep within 5 minutes. * Biting: Has never shown any biting behavior. * Barking: Doesn't bark. Might whine briefly out of demand when his foster parent enters a room or prepares food, but gives up quickly if ignored. * Likes: Sitting on people's laps, and getting treats. * Dislikes: Scared of the vacuum cleaner sound. * Tricks: Knows "Wait" and "Eat". * Overall Personality: A affectionate pup who adores people. When playing, he's super energetic and jumps around happily! But when humans are busy or go into their rooms, he calmly goes back to his own spot to rest. Is naturally quiet and has never barked at doorbells or loud noises.
