Story

**Note: Currently, Youja is in Korea, but will fly to Vancouver on Jan 30 upon adoption. Background: Youja was rescued from a city pound in Changwon, Korea last spring. Since then, she has been living safely at our partner boarding house, where she’s been learning to trust and enjoy life again. Personality & Socialization: Youja is a gentle, loving, and bright girl. She can be a little shy at first, but once she feels comfortable, her affectionate side shines through. She enjoys spending time with people and other dogs but also values her quiet time. She’s friendly without being clingy. She’s great with both men and women and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, big or small. Youja enjoys playing with her furry friends but is also respectful if they want space. She has a lovely balance, social and sweet, yet chill and independent. Behaviours: Youja is easy-going and well-mannered. She doesn’t love baths, but she allows her human to handle it patiently. She’s calm at the vet and good in the car. She’s still learning to walk confidently on leash and can be a little nervous in new places, but she follows her person’s lead and adjusts quickly. She’s quiet, well-behaved, and has a calm energy for her age. Health & Diet: Youja is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She’s dewormed and receives monthly parasite prevention. She eats dry food twice a day and has shown no allergies. Ideal Home: Youja would do best in a calm, loving home. Perhaps with another gentle and friendly dog to keep her company. She’ll be a wonderful fit for someone looking for a second dog or anyone who enjoys a peaceful lifestyle and wants a sweet, loving companion. With a little patience and time to settle in, Youja will blossom into a loyal and loving family member. Adopt Youja through link below: https://www.freekoreandogs.org/dog/youja/

Lotto

Jindo/Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 2 yrs 11 mos

Vancouver, BC

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

**Note: Lotto is in his foster home in Coqitlam, BC. Background Lotto was rescued from the streets of Suwon, Korea last fall. After spending a few peaceful months in a loving foster home, he moved to our boarding house, where he lived happily with other dogs until he left Korea. Currently, he lives in a foster home with another dog in Coquitlam, BC. Personality & Socialization Lotto is truly a gem. He’s gentle, friendly, and respectful to everyone, whether it’s dogs or people. With calm dogs, he’s polite and relaxed. With playful ones, he happily joins in for zoomies and a bit of friendly wrestling. He adjusts beautifully to the energy around him. When it comes to people, Lotto is just as charming. He’s quiet, obedient, and very smart. He reads the room well and knows how to settle when things are calm. Volunteers always adore him. He’s often their favorite. Behaviour Lotto is quiet indoors and rarely barks. He’s not destructive and knows how to rest peacefully when it’s time to relax. He prefers doing his business outside but will use indoor pads if needed. Lotto is a champ at the vet, during baths, and on car rides. He also walks nicely on a leash. In new places, he may feel a little unsure at first, but he looks to his trusted person for guidance and quickly finds his comfort. Health & Diet Lotto is healthy, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all his vaccinations. He gets monthly parasite prevention and eats dry kibble twice a day. He hasn’t shown any signs of allergies. When Lotto was rescued, we noticed his left front leg looked a little bent. A vet check showed it had been broken in the past but healed on its own. The bone is a bit curved, but it doesn’t bother him at all! Lotto moves, runs, and plays just like any other happy dog. Ideal Home Lotto is easy to love and would do well in almost any home. That said, his ideal family would be someone who works from home, is retired, or has a flexible schedule, not someone who leaves their dog alone for long hours. He’d be happy to have another friendly dog to play with, but he’d also be happy with a human who has lots of time to give and enjoys the outdoors. If you're looking for a sweet, obedient, and loyal companion, Lotto might just be your perfect match. ---------------------------------------------------------- Apply to adopt Lotto through link below: https://www.freekoreandogs.org/dog/lotto-2/

Sandy

Jindo/Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 3 yrs 4 mos

Vancouver, BC

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs,

Story

**Note: Currently, Sandy is in Korea, but will fly to Vancouver upon adoption. Background Sandy was rescued early this summer after living a lonely and neglected life. She had been chained outside a small restaurant near our partner shelter in a rural town. The elderly restaurant owner said she “fed” Sandy once a week: just leftover scraps that were barely edible. When our shelter manager saw her, she couldn’t walk away. After several visits and gentle persuasion, the owner finally agreed to surrender Sandy to us. Since then, Sandy has been living safely at our partner boarding house with other rescue dogs, where she’s been learning what love and care truly mean. Personality & Socialization Sandy is a gentle, sweet, and loving girl. She can be a little shy at first, but it doesn’t take her long to open up. Once she feels safe, she becomes very affectionate and enjoys being close to people. She’s friendly with both men and women and loves spending time with her humans. Sandy also gets along well with other dogs, both big and small, as long as they are friendly and kind. She especially enjoys the company of gentle, playful dogs and fits in beautifully in a calm, social group. Behaviours Sandy has a medium energy level and a calm, balanced temperament. She’s easygoing, mature, and adaptable to new environments. She walks well on leash, as if she’s been trained before, and enjoys her outings quietly by your side. She’s well-behaved during baths, car rides, and vet visits, and has shown no signs of separation anxiety or destructive behavior. Sandy is intelligent, obedient, and loyal. Truly a joy to care for. Health & Diet When rescued, Sandy tested positive for heartworms, sadly, not a surprise given her past living conditions. She received full treatment and has now completely recovered. Sandy is healthy and ready for her forever home. She is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and on regular flea and tick prevention. She eats dry kibble twice a day and has shown no allergies. Ideal Home Sandy would do well in many kinds of homes. She’d be happy as an only dog, soaking up all the love and attention, or as a second dog alongside a gentle, friendly companion. Her easygoing nature makes her a wonderful match for someone looking for a calm, affectionate, and loyal companion. After all she’s been through, Sandy deserves a home where she will finally be loved and cherished. Whoever adopts her will be truly lucky. ------------------------- For more info about the dog or the adoption application, please follow the link below. https://www.freekoreandogs.org/dog/sandy/
