Story
Hello, I'm Bay, an adorable 8-month-old SharPei mix boy eagerly awaiting my forever home. My journey began at the city shelter when I was just a 2-week-old baby, accompanied by my loving Mom and seven siblings. While one of my seven siblings found a happy home through fostering, I and my other siblings are still at the city shelter, facing the risk of euthanasia. Each one of us embodies a friendly, funny, and endearing spirit. Picture this: lovely chocolate fur, long legs adorned with white socks, and eyes that exude innocence, much like a baby angel. I'm a social butterfly, adoring people so much that I'll gladly sit on a stranger's lap upon our first meeting. Playing with friends is a delight for me, and if I discover a cherished toy, I'll quietly retreat to a corner to enjoy it. My nature is gentle and kind; even if friends approach me while I'm with my toys, I'll simply relocate without any fuss or growls. If you're seeking a puppy friend to always bring a smile to your face and shower you with love, then I'm the perfect companion. Consider adopting me, and I promise to become a cherished and lovable member of your family. Let's create a beautiful bond and fill your home with joy and love together.

Hello, I'm Cinamon, an adorable 8-month-old SharPei mix girl eagerly awaiting my forever home. My journey began at the city shelter when I was just a 2-week-old baby, accompanied by my loving Mom and seven siblings. We're a charming bunch! While one of my seven siblings found a happy home through fostering, my other siblings and I are still at the city shelter, facing the risk of euthanasia. Each one of us embodies a friendly, funny, and endearing spirit. I'm a social butterfly, adoring people so much. I allow strangers to touch or hug me. I'm a very nice, innocent soul. And I'm an extreme toy lover. If I have a toy I like, I go to the corner alone and play with it quietly without my friends knowing. I grew up in a shelter as a baby, so I have less experience. I still need to learn how to eat snacks. When I go for a walk, my tail goes down in unfamiliar places. I wish I had a family who could teach me the taste of delicious snacks and the joy of walking. I will be your lovely and good family member. I'm in a shelter in Korea and ready to fly anywhere in Seattle or Vancouver if you call my name.

Story
I'm Narang, a 6-year-old Jindo Chow mix with a heart full of love. I was rescued just in time from a shelter in Iksan Si where I was sadly facing euthanasia. I adore people so much that I might bark a bit when I first meet someone new, but it's just my way of saying hello. In no time, I'll be nudging you for pets and cuddles. I'm polite with other dogs; I'll say hello, but I'm not much of a rough player. If another dog barks, I might get a bit excited, so I prefer a calm atmosphere. Food, though, I don't mind sharing at all, whether it's with humans or furry friends. During walks, I might pull on the leash a bit, but I'm generally good at following your lead. I'm currently recovering from heartworm treatment, so occasional diarrhea is part of my healing process. However, I'm a good eater and prefer doing my business outside. I dream of finding a forever home where I can be the center of someone's world. If you're looking for a loving companion who craves your affection and is ready to share a lifetime of joy, I'm your girl. Let's make memories together! Adopt me, and let's start our journey of love and happiness. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jzj_0ZnVvkvGDkBXoz2jVy1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H40gvTvIdsc&list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jzj_0ZnVvkvGDkBXoz2jVy1&index=4 https://youtu.be/H40gvTvIdsc?si=RsAUfxedNW1lXidc https://youtu.be/F4ec8oStfa8?si=OjuCqoVAgFVeFy8x https://youtu.be/HsilthM_ef0?si=reHSkb851kMpBHKt

Story
Hi, my name is Yoda. I was found wandering around a golf course in the mountains. Life was tough back then. I was pregnant when I was rescued, but sadly, my little ones didn't make it. It was just me and my mom survived. 💖 Personality: I might seem a bit shy at first, but give me a chance, and you'll see how quickly I warm up to you. I love people and can even enjoy a good cuddle! I already know commands like sit, stay, and paw. So, you won't have to worry about teaching me the basics. I'm a quick learner and eager to please. 🚶 Walks and Exploring: I haven't had many adventures in the outside world, so busy roads and loud cars can be a bit overwhelming for me. I might flatten myself to the ground in unfamiliar situations. But don't worry, with time and patience, I'll learn to embrace the great outdoors! 🏡 Home Life: After a walk, I'm all about chilling quietly. I'm well-behaved inside my kennel, and I rarely bark. Outdoor potty breaks are my preference. 🐕 Other Dogs: I'm not one to pick fights. Even when other dogs try to provoke me, I'd rather steer clear. I'm great at greetings, but playtime isn't my top priority. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJc_7Cxe0m8&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JzzWz9-erIXEOyg9oZGL-AV ❤ we accept both Canada/US applicants ❤

Story
Saturn I'm Saturn, an 8-month-old Jindo mix little guy, and I'm on the lookout for my forever home. My journey started when my stray mom gave birth in a kind person's yard, and that's where I was rescued. I might take a bit of time to warm up to new faces, but once I do, get ready for some tail-wagging affection! I love being pampered and will charm my way into your heart. I get along famously with other dogs and thrive in their company. However, if another dog tries to challenge me, I might growl a bit. I just like to make sure everyone knows their place! If your home already has a canine companion, that's a bonus for me. I find comfort in the presence of other dogs. While I may not have much experience with bustling, noisy streets, I can get a bit timid and lie flat in fear. So, a quieter neighborhood would be ideal for our walks. When it comes to mealtime, I'm totally fine with people, but if other dogs approach, I might express my opinions with a little growl. After a good walk, I'm quite the chill companion. I settle down nicely, whether it's on a comfy couch or in my kennel. Speaking of kennels, I'm a well-behaved fella even when confined. I'm pretty good with outdoor potty breaks, but I'm equally adept at handling business indoors. So, whether you have a yard or live in an apartment, I've got it all covered. If you're looking for a canine friend who will melt your heart with cuddles once the initial shyness fades away, I'm your guy. Let's embark on this journey together and make countless memories! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apORMugF2ds&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JzpHj8SBIYCIPIChYmQHkRw ❤ we accept both Canada/US applicants ❤

Story
My name is Somi, and I'm a 5-year-old female Mini Jindo mix. I've had quite an adventurous journey—left wandering when my previous owner moved, but thankfully, I was rescued. I'm a sweetheart with a wagging tail and a heart full of love. Even with strangers, I'm quick to ask for pets and show off my charming side. I get along well with other dogs, always up for a friendly greeting and playtime. However, I can get a bit defensive if provoked, so a bit of caution is advisable. On our walks, I might pull a bit on the leash, but it's nothing too serious, and I'm a quick learner. I'm quite the foodie, so I tend to eat quickly, and while I might growl if another dog approaches during meals but, I don't guard my food. Whether indoors or outdoors, I'm a pro at doing my business. The only thing is, I get a bit scared in cars, so you might need to hold me close during rides. I'm not just looking for a home; I'm looking for a family to call my own. If you're ready for a bundle of love, joy, and occasional silliness, I think we could be the perfect match.
