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. 💙 YangYang’s News Updates: @dungdung0826beige Meet YangYang🩷 1.) Health Condition * Not yet spayed. * Microchipped. 2.) Rescue Story * YangYang was living at the Gimje City Shelter along with her mother, Ivy, and her siblings. It was becoming more difficult to care for the puppies in the shelter with poor conditions, and they were quickly rescued so they wouldn’t have to spend a long time alone during the Chuseok holidays. 3.) Basic Information ❗ As she is still a young puppy, she may exhibit separation anxiety, mouthing/nipping, whining, disorderly behaviors, howling, or barking. Will require consistent patience and training. ❗ Since her parents are unknown, it is difficult to predict her adult size or shedding level. * With People: Likes people in general and even approaches strangers. Becomes even more cute and affectionate, following you around once she becomes familiar. * With Dogs: Gets along well with her foster sibling. They sleep together, and she approaches first to initiate play. Sits quietly if her sibling doesn’t feel like playing. When a new dog barked at her, she got frightened and started shaking. * With Cats: Hasn’t met cats yet. * Separation Anxiety: Doesn’t have signs of separation anxiety when either alone or when left with her foster sibling. * Potty Training: Goes potty indoors and uses potty pads well. She likes bathmats and sometimes makes mistakes, but is constantly being trained. * Walks: Barely pulls on the leash and tends to follow along behind her handler rather than lead. * Grooming: Does well with baths, nail trims, brushing, and tooth brushing! * Car Sickness: Didn’t show signs of car sickness in long-distance car trips. * Biting: Since she’s still a puppy, she shows her affection by nibbling and may try to chew on things. * Barking: Whines when she wants something, such as wanting to go up on the sofa. * Dislikes: Gets frightened by loud noises and hides.

House-trained,

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 Daldal🩷 1.) Health Condition * Spayed. * Microchipped, heartworm negative, and currently undergoing treatment for anaplasma. 2.) Rescue Story * Daldal was rescued during a winter preparation volunteer session at the Gimje City Shelter. At that time, the shelter was facing harsh winter cold and an outbreak of infectious diseases. Daldal was so terrified of people that she would squeeze herself into the smallest corners to hide. To give her a chance at a better tomorrow, Adogs decided to bring her into our care. 3.) Basic Information * With People: Is very fearful of humans. If someone approaches, she immediately hides in a corner. Even with treats, she won't take them directly from your hand yet; she only eats them once you place them down and step away. While she is wary, she has never shown any aggression or nipping. We are currently working on building her confidence through gentle petting. Needs time to build trust, but she is a gentle soul who will surely open her heart if given a patient home. * With Dogs: As everything is still new and overwhelming, she mostly stays in her "safe spot" and hasn't begun socializing with other dogs yet. * With Cats: No experience with them yet. * Separation Anxiety: Difficult to assess as she is currently living in a group setting at our center. * Potty Training: Currently does only pottying outdoors since she is staying at our center. * Car Sickness: No signs of motion sickness so far. * Has never shown any defensive or fearful nipping. * Doesn’t bark or growl even when scared. No unnecessary barking observed. * Is still very frightened of human touch and may flinch when petted.

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 Dalkom♠️ 💙 Adogs News Account: @_adogs_ 1️⃣ Health Condition * Not neutered yet. * Microchipped. * Is currently on medication for a fungal skin infection (ringworm) he had when rescued. The scabs are gone, and new fur is starting to grow back on the bridge of his nose. 2️⃣ Rescue Story * Dalkom was staying at the Gimje City Shelter with #AdogsLemon and #AdogsSaekom. All three were suspected of having skin issues. Because they were exposed to the cold and the risk of infectious diseases in the poor shelter conditions, Adogs rescued them urgently. 3️⃣ Basic Information ❗ As he is still a young puppy, he may exhibit separation anxiety, mouthing/nipping, whining, disorderly behaviors, howling, or barking. Will require consistent patience and training. ❗ Since his parents are unknown, it is difficult to predict his adult size or shedding level. * With People: Loves people! Enjoys being held and often falls asleep right on your lap. Is a total "lap dog." * With Dogs: Gets along great with other puppy friends at our center. Relies on and plays happily with #AdogsSaekom and #AdogsLemon. * With Cats: Has not met them yet. * Separation Anxiety: Unknown as he currently lives in a group setting at our center. Training should start from day one in a home environment. * Potty Training: Currently uses indoor pads with an 80% success rate. * Hygiene: Stays calm during medicated baths and behaves well for nail trims when placed on his back. * Walks: No walking experience yet as he is still completing his vaccinations. * Car Sickness: Did not show any signs of motion sickness during the move to our center. * No aggression toward people. However, as a puppy, he may mouth or nip while teething. * Hasn't shown much barking or whining yet, but training may be needed once he adjusts to a home. * Truly loves people and forms deep emotional connections easily.

Story

Meet Pepper,Pepper is a ten month old pup who loves being close to her person and truly believes laps are the best place to be. She has had a rough start in life and can be nervous when meeting new people, but with patience and consistency she settles in and shows a very sweet, gentle personality. Pepper does best with someone who is home most of the time and enjoys having a dog nearby throughout the day. She would be happiest as the only dog, where she can feel secure and build a strong bond with her person.Note: As with all puppies, we recommend puppy-proofing your home and preparing for the commitment of training, exercise, and socialization. The more time and effort you put into training now will pay off tenfold when they grow into a giant slobbery member of your family. Remember, adoption is a big decision and lifetime commitment to the dog - these pups will grow into big, strong dogs and will need a family that's ready for the adventure!These pups are not yet spayed or neutered (S/N). Their appointments for S/N's will be in the coming weeks. In the meantime, they are eligible to go into homes as "foster-to-adopts," and can be fully adopted after their S/N.Thank you for your interest in adopting! Do you think you could be Pepper's person? Apply today!TIP: To aid our team in making the best match possible, applicants are encouraged to write a little bit about themselves when prompted.https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/The Victoria Center is open for in-person adoption viewings Tuesday through Sunday, 12pm to 4pm, staff and animal well-being permitting.Kitten and puppy meet and greets are by application only.

Meet Carly!Carly is a 2-year-old dog who's had a challenging time recently. She was surrendered after her previous owner faced some difficult circumstances and could no longer provide the care she needed for her hip and back leg issues. Carly will be getting her TPLO surgery soon and will need some time to recover, but with the right care, we're confident she'll be back on her feet and ready for a pain-free future.Carly is a shy girl at first, and it may take her a little while to warm up to new people. But once she feels comfortable, she's incredibly loyal and will stick by your side. She loves to cuddle, and while she's still adjusting, she's got a sweet and quiet presence that's sure to make her a cherished companion. Carly also enjoys being outside and playing, though she's taking it easy right now as she focuses on healing.Carly will need a calm and patient home where she can feel safe and loved as she recovers. Once she's fully healed, we believe she'll be the kind of dog who's always by your side, ready to enjoy life and share a strong bond with her new family.Thank you for your interest in adopting!
