Story
Ginger is an 11-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier (possibly mixed with something, we were never told for sure). She is current on vaccines (she has a monthly allergy shot, Cytopoint), spayed, house-trained, and fun-loving! Ginger loves tug-of-war, chasing balls (though she isn't the best at giving them back to be thrown again), and running around the yard. She loves people and pets, but does not get along well with other animals. Ginger was rescued from Texas after Hurricane Harvey in 2017, after having been found wandering around in the aftermath, so it is believed she has PTSD from that and has been known to attack other animals (dogs, cats, etc.). That being said, she absolutely loves people and will always want attention and pets (even if she is quite drooly). Ginger is trained with "sit", "lay down", "out" (of the kitchen when food is being cooked), and "bed", and she absolutely loves human food. Ginger is a good dog, but definitely needs a firm hand sometimes.

Story
Meet Pearl — A Sweet & Social Jindo Mix Looking for Her Forever Family!   Name: Pearl Age: 9 months Sex: Spayed Female Breed: Jindo Mix Color: Brown Weight: 21 kg Height: 56 cm (shoulder height)   Personality with People   Pearl is a very affectionate and friendly girl who happily approaches both familiar people and strangers. She loves leaning in for pets and allows handling easily. With people she knows well, she’s a total sweetheart — she may jump up to give kisses and show her playful affection. She does well with children under 13 and is comfortable being gently lifted with an arm under her belly. Once she trusts you, she’ll even show her belly   Socialization with Other Dogs   Pearl enjoys greeting and playing with both familiar and unfamiliar dogs. She does have a timid side — if several dogs (even small ones) rush toward her at once, she may retreat. She can be a little socially unaware at times and may try to initiate play even if the other dog is unsure. With very high-energy dogs, she will clearly communicate when she’s uncomfortable.   Cats   Pearl has not yet been tested with cats, but a cat test can be arranged if needed.   Energy Level   Pearl has a moderate energy level. She enjoys outdoor activities and walks, but once her exercise is done, she settles nicely and relaxes indoors.   ‍ Walking & Leash Skills   She does pull on the leash at times but generally follows her handler well. Pearl loves sniffing and exploring, so walks often involve stopping and starting as she takes in all the scents around her   Other Behaviors & Habits   • No food guarding toward people or dogs, though she is food-motivated and may rush to eat first • Rarely barks — if uncomfortable, she may whine softly instead • Calm and well-behaved in a kennel • Gets in and out of the car on her own • Fully accustomed to outdoor potty routines   Rescue Story   Pearl was rescued with her mother and littermates after her mom entered the Ganghwa Shelter in Incheon and gave birth there. Thanks to rescue support, Pearl has grown up safe and loved — and is now ready for her forever home. Currently in Korea — available for adoption to Canada/US Apply to adopt or foster Pearl: https://adoptmekr.org Please visit our Facebook or Instagram. Pearl is a loving, joyful young dog who will make a wonderful companion for a family ready to grow with her ##2609383##

Story
Meet Ben — A Smart, Affectionate Boy Looking for His Forever Home   Name: Ben Age: 3 years old Sex: Neutered Male Breed: Mixed Breed Color: Tan / Yellow Brown Weight: 15kg Height: 56.5cm (shoulder height)   Rescue Story Ben was rescued from a city shelter before facing an uncertain future.   Personality & Social Skills Ben is an incredibly affectionate and social dog who absolutely loves people. He happily approaches both familiar people and strangers, leans in for pets, and enjoys physical affection. He is gentle enough to be picked up with arms under his belly and will even show his belly to people he just met.   He is also wonderful with children and has interacted well with elementary school-aged kids.   With Other Dogs Ben greets unfamiliar dogs confidently and is generally friendly toward dogs of all sizes — large, medium, and small. He especially enjoys inviting new dog friends to play, and if they are not interested, he can be a little persistent and playful.   Once he settles in, he gets along very well with other dogs and is currently living with around 20 small to large dogs at a rescue cafe environment.   Although he enjoys canine company, Ben craves human love and attention deeply. Because of this, we believe he may thrive best as the only dog in a home where he can receive plenty of love and focus.   Cats & Small Animals Ben has a strong prey drive toward cats and birds and will try to chase them during walks, so a home without cats or small animals is required.   Energy Level & Training Ben has a high energy level and enjoys outdoor activities. After getting enough exercise, he settles down nicely and rests calmly indoors.   He can pull on leash at times but generally follows people well and is eager to engage with his handler. He already knows several commands including:   Sit Wait Spin/Turn   Ben is very smart, trainable, and enjoys interacting with people.   Other Notes • Rides in the car well and can jump in/out on his own • Primarily prefers outdoor potty • Does not guard food from people or dogs • May bark demandingly when he wants something • Tends to listen particularly well to men   Ideal Home Ben would do best with an experienced dog family, especially one familiar with medium-to-large dogs. He would thrive in an active home that can provide consistent exercise, structure, and lots of affection.   Ben has so much love to give and is waiting for a family who will truly make him part of their life.

Story
CURRENTLY IN ST.CATHARINES, ON!!! Name: Crystal Age: Approximately 1year old (Estimated DOB: March 1, 2025) Sex: Spayed Female (S. Female) Breed: Jindo Mix Color: Brown Weight: 22 kg Height: 55 cm   Rescue Story: Crystal was born at a city shelter after her mom was admitted.   Personality & Socialization   ‍‍ With People   Crystal is incredibly affectionate. She happily approaches both familiar and unfamiliar people, rubbing her body against them and allowing gentle touches with ease. She fully accepts children under 13 and currently lives in a home with kids.   She’s comfortable being lifted (even with arms placed under her belly), and she warms up instantly to people of all ages and genders. She even shows her belly to strangers and lets people she meets on walks pet her tummy — she is that sweet and trusting!   With Other Dogs   Crystal has a friendly and social nature with dogs of all sizes. She confidently approaches new dogs, politely says hi, and invites them to play. She currently lives with an adult dog much bigger than her and gets along beautifully.   If another dog shows aggression, Crystal simply walks away — she avoids conflict and chooses peace.   With Cats   No direct observation yet, but cat testing can be arranged.   Energy Level   Crystal has a medium energy level. She enjoys outdoor activities, exploring, and playtime, but after that she settles quietly and rests well. Adequate outdoor time makes her happiest.   ‍ Walks   She gets very excited on walks and tends to pull due to curiosity, but she loves people and usually follows well. With consistent practice, she’ll become an excellent walking partner.   Resource Guarding   None observed. She does not guard food against humans or other dogs.   Separation / Home Behavior   Crystal has not been left completely alone — she has always been with another dog when humans were away. Her current separation anxiety is mild, but she may develop anxiety if expected to stay alone, so gradual training is recommended.   She only barks when she wants something, and she whines a bit when placed in a kennel/crate, but usually settles or falls asleep shortly after.   She is currently outdoor potty trained.   Crystal Is Looking for Her Forever Family   Crystal is a sweet, gentle, loving girl with a heart full of affection for people and dogs alike. She’d thrive in a home that can provide: Consistent outdoor time Patient training for solo time A family who loves cuddles and belly rubs Possibly another friendly dog (optional but helpful)   If you’re looking for a warm, social, and gentle Jindo mix puppy, Crystal might be your perfect match. Apply to foster or adopt to show her how beautiful the world can be. www.adoptmekr.org Please also visit our Facebook or Instagram. ##2576765##

Story
Meet Songi!   Name: Songi Age: 5 years old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Jindo Mix Color: White Weight: 23 kg (50.7 lbs) — currently a little overweight with a slightly short-legged build   Rescued from a municipal shelter euthanasia list   Songi is the definition of a true lady.   She may approach new people slowly at first, taking time to sniff and assess the situation, but she is never unfriendly. In fact, she will happily accept treats from strangers and can be gently petted even during first meetings. Once she feels comfortable, her sweet and affectionate personality shines through.   She isn’t overly demanding of attention, but before you know it, you’ll find her quietly sitting beside you, waiting for gentle pets and companionship.   Personality & Temperament   Gentle and polite with people Can be picked up comfortably by supporting her belly Has not been tested with children under 13 Rarely barks Does not guard food from people or other dogs House-trained and generally prefers outdoor potty breaks   Dog Social Skills   Songi gets along beautifully with other dogs and has wonderful canine manners.   She enjoys greeting new dogs and coexisting peacefully but isn’t particularly interested in roughhousing or wrestling. If another dog becomes overly pushy, she may give a brief growl—not as aggression, but simply to say, “That’s enough, please.” It’s a polite communication signal and she has never shown interest in escalating conflicts.   Friendly with large dogs Friendly with medium-sized dogs Friendly with small dogs Lives peacefully with other dogs Tends to avoid conflict even when challenged Prefers calmer dog friends and can feel overwhelmed by very high-energy dogs   Walking & Activity   Songi absolutely loves walks!   She walks beautifully on leash, stays close to her handler, and does not pull. Even when she sees birds or cats, she usually just watches them without chasing or lunging.   She enjoys outdoor activities but has a moderate energy level and is happy to relax quietly after exercise.   Car Rides   Songi doesn’t quite understand how to jump into a car yet, so she appreciates a little help getting in. Once inside, however, she sits calmly and rides beautifully. She has completed a 40-minute car ride without any signs of motion sickness.   Smart & Food-Motivated   Songi loves treats and food, which makes her a wonderful candidate for positive reinforcement training.   Although she hasn’t formally learned commands such as “sit,” she will often offer a sit on her own when she sees a treat in your hand. She’s eager to learn and enjoys working with people.   One of her sweetest qualities is her willingness to share. Despite loving food, she doesn’t argue with other dogs over treats and has a naturally gentle nature.   A Special Note   Songi does carry one small fear.   When people are holding objects, she sometimes hesitates to approach and may move away. We don’t know her full past, but it may be connected to unpleasant experiences before her rescue. Despite this, she continues to trust people, accepts affection, and genuinely wants to be close to her humans.   Her resilience, grace, and gentle heart make her truly special.   If you’re looking for a calm, polite, affectionate companion who will quietly become your shadow, Songi may be the perfect match.
