Thor is as darling as they come. While he can be a bit bashful when first saying hello, give him just a moment to investigate and make his full assessment, and his playful, goofy side will soon shine through! This sweet boy is a wonderful companion who gets along well with other dogs and cats, and he has been incredibly friendly and gentle with visiting children. Thor is looking for a forever home with a family who has plenty of time to spend with him and can provide a warm, consistent daily routine. He is just too cute not to fall head over heels in love with! Could Thor be the perfect match for your family?

Story
Meet Bonnie A gentle little soul who blossoms with patience and love.   Age: 5 years Sex: Spayed female Breed: Mixed Colour: Cream Weight: 9.3 kg / 20.5 lbs Shoulder height: 32 cm / 12.6 inches   Her rescue story Bonnie was rescued from a municipal shelter in March 2025 when euthanasia was taking place. Her shy nature made it harder for her to find a home, and she joined the AKR centre in December. Since then, she has been gently practising becoming comfortable with touch and handling.   With people Bonnie can be a little shy at first, but she will accept treats and usually allows gentle petting right away. Being picked up takes a little more trust. She does not struggle or nip when lifted, and with practice, she no longer has nervous potty accidents during handling. In a new home, however, she may feel unsure again, so a slow, gentle approach will help her feel safe.   Once Bonnie opens her heart, she loves staying close to her person—and often rolls over to show her belly! She could be a lovely companion for someone living alone. A quiet adult home or a home with calm, respectful teenagers would suit her best, as sudden movements and squeals from children under 13 may frighten her.   With other dogs Bonnie will approach unfamiliar dogs to say hello, but she usually saves playtime for friends she knows well. She tends to feel most comfortable with dogs her size or smaller. If another dog provokes her, she generally chooses to walk away.   With cats On walks, Bonnie stays focused on her person even when she sees cats. She has not yet had a formal cat test, but one can be arranged.   Energy & walks Bonnie has a low energy level and enjoys spending much of her day resting calmly. Occasionally, she celebrates a happy moment with a little burst of zoomies—usually over in less than a minute!   She enjoys sniffing and exploring in quiet areas. Busy, noisy places can make it harder for her to relax. Passing children and joggers generally do not bother her, but cars and motorcycles can frighten her, and she may cling to her person for reassurance.   Life at home • She has shown no food guarding around people or other dogs. • She rarely barks. • She settles quietly when placed in a kennel. • Getting into a car worries her, so she currently needs to be lifted in. • She currently does most of her pottying outdoors, though she may need patience and guidance in a new home.   Bonnie’s ideal home A peaceful home, a gentle routine, and someone who will let trust grow at her pace. Once she feels safe, Bonnie’s favourite place is close to the person she loves.   Could you be Bonnie’s person?

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to U.S. and Canada💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet Jinsu 💙 Adogs News Account: @_adogs_ 1. Health Condition * Neutered. * Microchipped, heartworm negative, and dental scaling done. 2. Rescue Story * Jinsu had been living on a short leash at the Wanju City Shelter for more than two years. As the shelter had already been full of abandoned dogs, Jinsu was put on the euthanasia list. Once learning that his euthanasia was imminent, Adogs rushed to rescue him. 3. Basic Information * With People: Is really sociable without being aggressive nor shy towards people. Is so friendly with people that he loves being touched by them. May feel uncomfortable if someone suddenly grabs the back of his neck, though. * With Other Dogs: At first, struggled to get along with other dogs, but through consistent training, is now able to live with them. May growl when meeting new dogs for the first time, but with slow introductions using treats, he learns to feel relaxed around them over time. However, he prefers his alone time and can feel uncomfortable—sometimes growling or snapping—if large dogs of similar size approach him too assertively. Also loves playing with balls and can be protective of her toy around other dogs. * With Cats: When seeing a cat during walks, he tries to run towards it. Caution is required. * Separation Anxiety: Not confirmed yet because he lives in a group setting at our center. Will need basic training in a home environment. * Potty Training: Does pottying outdoors at our center. Will need basic training in a home environment. * Hygiene: Shows little resistance to grooming by familiar handlers. Stays calm during baths and brushing. * Walks: Is good at walking. Can respond to his name to some extent during walks. When seeing a cat during walks, he pulls on the leash to get closer to them, but it’s at a manageable level. Having completed muzzle training, it is recommended that he wear a muzzle during walks to manage his reactions toward other dogs. * Car Sickness: Rides well in a car without car sickness. * Biting: In the early days of training, he would get mouthy when it hurt or felt uncomfortable while removing matted fur. But recently, there hasn't been any mouthiness at all. Once he becomes familiar with someone, he accepts even uncomfortable touching calmly from them. If similarly-sized dogs approach first and repeatedly bother him, he growls and tries to bite, so caution is needed. * Barking: Has never barked or whined. However, training may still be needed when she moves into a new home environment. * Overall Temperament: Is a bright, energetic, and affectionate sweetheart! Rather than playing with other dogs, he prefers running and walking with his human, and he loves ball games, treats, and affection. Even when resting in a corner around other dogs, he will happily run over as soon as she spots a person. Since he does not enjoy other dogs approaching him assertively, he would do best as the only dog in a home. Used to be easily startled by loud noises or sudden movements, but after desensitization training, he has improved significantly!
