Story
Cloud | Male | 3 years old | Great Pyrenees Weight: Approx. 32kg Cloud is a stunning Great Pyrenees with a soft, fluffy double coat. True to his breed, also known as a Pyrenean Mountain Dog, Cloud has a gentle and cozy exterior with a strong and protective inner nature. He’s not just calm and friendly—his gentleness comes from a deep-rooted confidence, as he believes in protecting those around him. Cloud has a sweet, peaceful personality, but don’t let that fool you. Beneath his calm demeanor, he has a firm sense of responsibility and determination to protect his surroundings. Though he’s a bit shy, you’ll quickly sense his trust and strength. Cloud is a high-energy dog, so he would thrive in a home with a large yard. He loves being active, playing, and running around. Daily outdoor activity is essential to keep him happy and healthy. He’s playful and enjoys both eating and having fun, showcasing his cheerful and innocent side. Despite his past, where he was abandoned at a shelter, Cloud is quick to warm up to new people. While he hasn't had much basic training yet, Cloud is highly intelligent, and positive reinforcement, such as treats, helps him learn quickly. He may pull on the leash during walks out of curiosity, but he’s improving with practice and guidance. Cloud is also great with other dogs, including smaller ones. He’s big in size but still exhibits the endearing behaviors of a puppy, which make him even more lovable. Cloud would be best suited for someone who understands the Great Pyrenees breed or enjoys large dogs and is looking for a companion to enjoy daily outdoor activities with. If you're ready for a loyal, loving companion and are willing to provide training and structure, Cloud will be a lifelong friend, offering deep love and trust in return.

Story
I’m Blue, and I’m a curious, bright-eyed Husky with a big heart and even bigger love for the world around me. Every walk feels like an adventure—every scent, every sound is something new to explore. I get so excited, like I’m discovering the world for the first time! When I meet people, I can’t help but walk right up and sniff their faces, just to say, “Hi! Who are you?” People always smile when I do that—maybe it’s the way I tilt my head or my wagging tail that makes them laugh. I get along pretty well with other dogs, too! I do sometimes forget how strong or energetic I can be, especially around smaller pups. I think I’m the same size as them, so I play a little rough without meaning to. If I’m with little friends, I’ll just need someone to help me play more gently. I'm learning! Oh—and being a Husky, I have that classic husky voice… yep, I howl sometimes. When I feel lonely or miss my people, I might sing a little to let you know. So I’d do best in a home where I’m not left alone too often. I really do love being near my humans. I’ve been through a tough start—abandoned alone in a basement—but I’ve never let that stop me from trusting or loving people. I still believe in the goodness of humans, and I’m ready to give all my love to the right family. If you're looking for a joyful, curious, and loyal companion who will fill your days with adventure and laughter, I’m your guy. Let’s discover the world together. With love, Blue 🐾

Story
Hello! My name is Luna, and I’m a young girl with a soft gray-and-white coat, bright eyes, and a heart full of love. 🌙 I was rescued at the very last moment from a high-risk shelter in Miryang, where I was scheduled for euthanasia. I know just how precious this second chance is — that’s why I live each day with gratitude and love. 💛 I’m an affectionate pup who loves being close to people. I quickly warm up to new faces, wagging my tail with excitement and joy. I also get along wonderfully with other dogs and even cats! I’m lively, cheerful, and playful — but also smart and attentive when someone speaks to me. Walks are one of my favorite things in the world! 🐾 As soon as you pick up the leash, I’ll wag my tail and wait eagerly. Once we’re outside, I walk calmly right by your side. I also travel well — I sit quietly in the car and don’t get anxious during rides. At home, I’m well-behaved and comfortable resting in my crate. I do my potty business neatly outdoors, and I don’t bark excessively or show destructive behavior, so I’d fit in perfectly even in an apartment. Sometimes, when I first arrive in a new place, I might feel a little nervous or have a small potty accident — but please be patient with me. I’m still young and learning about the world. With gentle guidance and a little time, I’ll quickly adapt and show you how smart and loving I truly am. All I really need now is a family who will love me forever — someone who will teach me what home truly feels like. I already know how to connect with people’s hearts; I just need one person to choose me and never let go. Every day, I wag my tail with hope, believing, “My forever family is on their way.” 🕊️💛 — With love, Luna

Story
Hello! My name is Liv, and I’m a gentle soul who was once just days away from euthanasia at a shelter. But I was given a second chance — and now, I’m learning what love truly means. 💛 At first, I can be shy around new people or big, unfamiliar places. I get a little scared, but once I realize I’m safe, I quietly come close and show my affection in the sweetest ways. Beneath my timid heart is a dog full of warmth, kindness, and love. I get along beautifully with other dogs. I often look to my dog friends for comfort, follow their lead, and enjoy playing and cuddling with them once we’re close. Because of that, I’d do well in a home with another friendly dog — but I could also be perfectly happy as an only pet, soaking up all your love just for myself. I’m gentle with children, too. Sometimes, I can be a little wary of unfamiliar men, but I’m never aggressive — just cautious. I’m the kind of dog who startles easily but never hurts anyone. In calm environments, I relax and show my quiet, loving personality. I enjoy walks, though sometimes I get a little excited and might pull on the leash or get curious about interesting smells (especially if there’s a cat nearby 🐾). Big signs or large objects can make me a bit nervous, but I’m fine with cars and motorcycles. After a nice walk, I love waiting patiently for my treat — my eyes will sparkle with anticipation! 🍪 I prefer doing my business outdoors, especially on soft grass. When I’m with another dog, I feel safe even when my human steps out — but if I’m left completely alone, I might bark for a bit. Still, I’m calm and quiet most of the time at home. I know basic commands like “sit,” “down,” and “paw,” and I’m very patient when asked to follow directions. Taking medicine isn’t my favorite thing, but if you hide it in boiled chicken, I’ll happily take it! At the vet, I get a little shaky, but I stay still and do my best — I really try to be brave. 🩷 I love curling up on the bed next to my person at night — that’s when I feel the safest and happiest. I also travel well in the car, especially if I have my own car seat to rest in. I’m looking for a calm, loving home — a family who will give me time to adjust and show me patience while I continue learning that the world is a safe place. Once I trust you, I’ll give you everything: my loyalty, my quiet love, and my heart that’s stronger than it looks. I was once abandoned, but this time, I’m hoping to find a home where I’ll never be left behind — a forever family who will teach me what it means to be loved for a lifetime. 💛

Story
Hi, I’m Wonbeen — an 18kg Shepherd–Jindo mix boy with a big heart that’s ready to heal. 🤎 I spent a long time tied up deep in the mountains, surviving each day the only way I knew how. Because of that past, sudden touches around my neck or being held tightly still frighten me. Those moments remind me of things I wish I could forget. But here’s the part I want you to remember about me: I love people — truly, deeply. And when someone is patient and gentle with me, I become one of the sweetest, most affectionate dogs you’ll ever meet. I’m the kind of dog who will walk up to you first, bump you softly with my head, and ask, “Can you pet me?” I love leaning in for affection, and as long as you avoid the kinds of touches that scare me, I’ll gladly relax beside you and soak in all the warmth you’re willing to give. On walks, I’m calm and easy. I accept my leash gently, enjoy strolling at a slow pace, and love taking time to sniff the world around me. After a good walk, I settle quietly at home and spend the rest of the day peacefully. I hardly ever bark, and indoors I’m calm and well-mannered — even families who are new to welcoming a dog would find life with me very comfortable. I look a bit like a shepherd — confident, handsome, and strong — and I’m also smart. I know basic commands like “sit,” and I try hard to understand what people are asking of me. Around other dogs, I’m relaxed and not interested in conflict. Big or small, I coexist peacefully with everyone. What I need most is not someone who rushes me, but someone who will help me feel safe — someone who can show me, slowly and gently, that life can be warm, predictable, and full of love. At first, I might feel sensitive about certain touches, but once I realize I’m protected and cared for, I begin to lean in, trust deeply, and look to my family for comfort. I’m a dog who longs to be loved — maybe more than anything. And now, I’m waiting for the family who will help me replace old fears with nothing but warmth. If you can give me a safe home, a steady routine, and a kind heart, I promise to give you all the love I’ve been saving. 🤎
