Story
I’m a small Jack Russell Terrier mix girl, weighing about 6kg. I may be tiny, but my heart is incredibly big. My sister and I were rescued after wandering the streets at a very young age. Even though life was tough in the beginning, I never let it take away my bright spirit or my warm, loving nature. I love other dogs and make friends easily. Meeting new furry buddies is one of my favorite things, and I’m always gentle and friendly. I adore people even more — if our eyes meet, my tail starts wagging before I can even think about it! I just can’t help wanting to be close to you. I’m also a great walking companion. I match your pace beautifully and enjoy taking in the world around me with calm curiosity. Walks with me are peaceful, happy moments. I’m still a puppy, so I’m learning my potty manners at home. But don’t worry — I’m smart, eager to please, and I pay close attention to my humans. With a bit of consistency and love, I’ll learn quickly. Above all, I’m a little girl who loves giving and receiving affection. My heart is warm, soft, and ready to belong to someone special. I’m waiting patiently — and hopefully — for my first and forever family. If you can give a small life like me a warm home and endless love, I promise to give you all of my heart in return. 💛 With love, Seri 🐶💕

Story
💛 Hi, I’m Choco! I was rescued from a greenhouse where many dogs like me were being raised to be sold to dog farms. Life there was scary — I was often hurt by the person who owned the place, and I learned to be afraid of people and new things. But now, I’m learning that gentle hands and kind voices exist… and I really want to trust again. At first, I might seem shy or even a little nervous, especially around new people or unfamiliar places. But if you give me time and patience, you’ll see my true self — a soft-hearted, affectionate pup who loves to stay close and show love in quiet, tender ways. 🌿 Health: I’m in good health overall! I’m scheduled for a dental scaling soon. I used to have some tear allergies, but I’m much better now thanks to my special allergy-friendly food. I’m not a picky eater at all — I enjoy my meals! 🐶 Personality & Friends: I enjoy my own space, especially my bed and food, so I’d probably do best as the only dog in the family. But I can get along fine with another calm and gentle friend if we’re introduced slowly. When I feel comfortable, I like to show affection by gently licking my friends. 💛 With People: I take my time to trust. I might be cautious around strangers, especially men, but once I know you’re kind, I’ll become loving, loyal, and very sweet. I won’t rush into cuddles, but if you sit quietly with me, I’ll come closer on my own — and once I do, I’ll melt into your hands. 🚶‍♀️ Walks & Everyday Life: I enjoy calm walks. Sometimes I get startled by loud noises like flapping banners or cars, but I don’t chase cats or birds — I just keep walking. I’m fine wearing a harness, and I don’t pull much once I feel safe. 🏠 Manners & Habits: I can go to the bathroom both indoors and outdoors. If there’s a pee pad available, I’ll use it when needed. I don’t bark much, I don’t have separation anxiety, and I sleep peacefully on my own bed at night. I also travel well in cars — no motion sickness for me! 🐾 My Dream: I’m a quiet soul who’s learning that love can be safe. I hope to find a family who will give me the time, patience, and gentle care I need to fully blossom. I may take a little while to trust, but once I do, I’ll love you with all my heart — forever. With love, Choco 🤎🐕‍🦺

Story
Bruno is a one-year-old male Jindo mix with a friendly and cheerful personality. Weighing approximately 16 kg, he has the typical appearance of a Jindo, with an attractive face and an incredibly handsome appearance. As a puppy, Bruno was rescued in a severely malnourished and emaciated state after suffering from abuse and neglect. His condition was truly heartbreaking. However, with consistent love and care, he has transformed into a strong and healthy dog. Despite his difficult past, Bruno has never lost his cheerful spirit or his love for people. He enjoys human touch and often approaches people, seeking affection. He has little to no wariness of strangers, making him an open and friendly dog who quickly approaches people he has never met before. He generally gets along well with other dogs. However, he tends to play a little rough, particularly with his smaller friends. This behavior likely stems from his lack of proper socialization as a puppy. Due to his painful early life, he never had the chance to learn how to interact properly with other dogs. Bruno is now staying at a training center, where he is improving his social skills through daily interactions with various dogs. However, as he bonds deeply with his adopter and develops a strong sense of attachment, his love for people could manifest as jealousy or a protective instinct and this may lead to conflicts with other dogs. This is not because he has an aggressive nature, but rather because he loves people so much. Therefore, his adopter must provide clear and consistent training so that Bruno can continue to improve and grow into a great companion. Currently, Bruno goes outside for bathroom breaks three times a day and enjoys running freely with other dogs in the exercise yard. However, after adoption, he may have accidents due to environmental changes and adjustment periods. Once he becomes familiar with his new home, he should quickly adapt to an outdoor potty routine again. Bruno’s striking appearance is undeniable, but what truly makes him special is his warm heart and bright energy. He has overcome past hardships and grown into a strong, happy dog. Now, he is waiting for a loving adopter who will become his forever family.

Story
Hi, my name is Haengbok 🐾 It means “happiness” in Korean — and while I may not feel fully happy just yet, I know my forever family will help me get there. I’m a 3-year-old Jindo girl with a gentle soul and a loving heart. I can be a little shy when we first meet, but if you show me patience and kindness, I’ll trust you quickly — sometimes in just a few hours. Once I do, I absolutely love cuddles, pets, and being close to my people. I was rescued by the director of Dream Tails when I was just a young pup. Back then, I wasn’t ready to find my forever home — I needed time to grow, learn, and feel safe. With the help of my trainers, I’ve opened my heart and shown everyone what a truly affectionate and loyal dog I am. I’m just waiting for someone who will understand me and love me for who I am. I get along very well with other dogs, but mealtime can make me a bit sensitive. With continued training, consistency, and reassurance, I’ll learn that everything is okay and that I don’t have to worry anymore. I do have some fears, and I might get startled by unexpected things on walks. I can walk on a leash, and with the support of a calm, loving human by my side, I know I can overcome these worries. All I need is someone willing to walk this journey with me. I’m a sweet, gentle, almost-fully-happy girl — waiting for my forever parents to help me complete my story. Will you be the one to make my name come true?

Story
🏠Currently in a Toronto foster home Hi, my name is Soonsu! 🐾 I'm a 1.5-year-old male Jindo, around 20kg (about 44 lbs), and I’m so excited to finally introduce myself to you! I’ve had a bit of a rough start in life. I was rescued just in time before facing a very sad fate, and since then, I’ve been working really hard to become the best boy I can be. I grew up in a shelter with my puppy friends, and now I’m in training school where I’ve been learning all about how to connect with people and live happily in a home. And let me tell you—I absolutely love people! I mean it. I prefer spending time with humans way more than with other dogs. Sometimes, I might gently jump up to get your attention—it’s just my way of saying, “Please love me!” If you pet me or give me a hug, I’ll be the happiest pup in the world. I crave affection and love being your shadow. I’m also super smart and super food-motivated, so treats are a great way to help me learn. Training? Bring it on! I focus really well when snacks are involved and I'm always eager to please. Now, I’ve never lived in a home before, so house life might be a little confusing for me at first. I might have some accidents in the beginning, but I promise I’ll try my best to learn quickly—especially if you’re patient and kind with me. I don’t get shy around new people at all. Whether we’ve just met or we’ve known each other forever, I open my heart easily. I’m just a big lovebug who wants to be part of a family where I can finally feel safe, loved, and at home. So, if you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and happy pup who will love you with his whole heart—I’m your Soonsu. 🧡 I’m ready for a fresh start and a forever family. Could that be you? With love, Soonsu
