QUEENIE Age: 3 years Sex: Spayed Female Breed: Labrador Retriever Color: Black Weight: 28 kg Height: 58 cm (at the shoulder)   Rescue Story   Queenie was rescued from a municipal shelter in October 2024, just before euthanasia. She has been living in a private shelter for about a year and is now ready to finally experience life in a real home.   With People   Queenie is extremely affectionate and loves everyone she meets — both familiar faces and complete strangers. She happily rubs against people, seeks out touch, and enjoys being petted.   She is friendly with both women and men and does very well with children under 13. Once she feels comfortable, she will roll over and show her belly for rubs.   She can be picked up and handled with ease.   With Other Dogs   Queenie is a true social butterfly. She happily approaches both familiar and unfamiliar dogs to greet them and invite them to play.   She is gentle, friendly, and always wags her tail, even if another dog is rude or pushy. She tends to prefer dogs her size or smaller and avoids conflict.   With Cats   On walks, she may try to follow cats out of curiosity, but she responds well to redirection. Cat testing can be arranged.   Energy Level & Home Life   Queenie has a moderate energy level. She enjoys outdoor activities and walks, but once she’s had exercise, she settles down nicely and relaxes indoors.   Walks & Training   At first, Queenie may pull on leash because she is excited to explore. With training and guidance, she learns to walk nicely and stay connected with her handler.   Because she is strong, she would do best with someone who has experience handling medium-to-large dogs.   She is currently an outdoor-potty dog.   Behavior & Manners   No food or toy guarding Rarely barks Calm in her kennel Gentle and friendly nature   She may bark briefly if she is left alone while other dogs are outside, simply because she wants to join them.   Ideal Home   Queenie would thrive in an active, loving home where she can enjoy companionship, walks, and plenty of affection — whether as an only dog or with other friendly dogs.   She is a wonderful family dog who brings joy, warmth, and love wherever she goes.

 Quick Facts  Name: Ilbok Age: 2 years old (Born January 2023) Gender: Male Neutered/Sprayed: Yes Breed: Golden Retriever Mix Color: Beige Current Weight: 18 kg My Personality Hey there! I'm Ilbok, a fun-loving and affectionate boy who can't wait to find a family to share all my love with. I may be a little cautious at first, but once I trust you, I’ll show you just how sweet and friendly I can be! I adore people and am always excited to say hello. I’ll happily approach new faces and let you give me all the attention I crave. If you call me, I'll come running—I'm all about making connections! Although I’m friendly with humans, I do take a little time to warm up to other dogs. I can be a bit guarded initially, especially if another dog gets too close too fast, so it’s important to give me the space I need when meeting new pups. I’m just being cautious, but once I get to know you, I’m a great companion. I’ve got a heart full of potential and am ready to build friendships with the right dog pals. On My Walks Oh, how I love my walks! There’s nothing better than getting outside, feeling the breeze, and sniffing all the new scents in the world. I do like to pull on the leash a bit because I’m just so excited to explore! I’ll stop and sniff along the way, and if I see something exciting, I’ll want to check it out. But don’t worry, with a little training, I’ll get better at walking with you calmly by my side. I love the outdoors, and I promise we’ll have lots of fun together—whether it’s a stroll or a more energetic walk. Life At Home When I’m home, I’m the best companion you could ask for. I’m a curious boy who loves being around people, so I’ll probably follow you around, always wanting to know what’s going on. I’m very affectionate and enjoy being petted and loved. I’m also quite adaptable. I do my business indoor and outdoor. I might mark in new enviroment. I’m pretty well-behaved, and while I may show some excitement before meals or walks, I promise it’s just because I’m eager to have a good time with you. I don’t guard my food around people but with other dogs I am still learning. I’m still working on some manners, but I’m a fast learner and I know I’ll do great in a home that gives me the right guidance. My Ideal Home I’m looking for a loving, active family who will appreciate my playful energy and my affectionate nature. Here’s what I’d love in my forever home: Active Adventures: I’d love to be part of a family who enjoys outdoor activities. Whether it’s a long walk, a fun hike, or some playtime in the yard, I’m ready for action! Patience & Guidance: I’m still growing and learning, and I’d thrive in a home where I can continue developing my skills and building my confidence with positive reinforcement. Companionship: I’m social and love being around people, so I’d prefer a home where I’m not left alone for long periods. I thrive when I’m part of the family. Dog-Free: I’d do best as the only dog in the home. Last Message If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will always be excited to share his love and enjoy the world with you, I might be your perfect match!

QUICK FACTS  Name: Morning Age: 1 year 10 months Gender: Female Spayed/Neutered: Yes Breed: Labrador, jindo mix Colour: White Weight: 13kg / 28.6lbs Microchipped: Yes   MY RESCUE STORY  Hi there! My name is Morning, and just like the sunrise, I represent a brand-new beginning. I was rescued from the euthanasia list at a city pound, given a second chance when things looked so dark. Back in March, I thought I had found my forever family, but sadly, they didn’t fully understand my sensitive, skittish nature or feel prepared to support me through my heartworm treatment. Luckily, I didn’t lose hope—because a kind and patient foster family opened their home and hearts to me. With their love and care, I’ve truly begun to blossom. These days, I’m so much brighter, happier, and ready to keep shining even more in my journey to find a forever family who will cherish me for who I am.   MY HEALTH Fully vaccinated (5-round series complete) Neutered Currently going through early stages of heartworm treatment    MY PERSONALITY My foster family says I’m the whole package—sweet, gentle, intelligent, playful, and loyal, with just the right dash of goofy charm. I love making people smile, and I have the funniest, most expressive little face that will keep you laughing every day. My foster parents always say my floppy ears make me look just like Dobby from Harry Potter, and honestly, I think it just adds to my one-of-a-kind cuteness!    MY SOCIAL SKILLS With People: I may be a little shy at first, but with gentle approaches and a bit of patience, I’ll start to open up and show you my sweet side. Once I feel safe, I love receiving pets and affection—it just takes me a little time to adjust to new environments. My foster family says I’m very intelligent and eager to please, and nothing makes me happier than hearing gentle praises and encouragement. When you tell me I’ve done well, my tail wags nonstop! I’m learning to lean on my foster parent more each day, and with love and patience, my confidence continues to grow.   With Dogs:  I do best with slow introductions at first, as it gives me time to feel safe and comfortable. I get along better with gentle, well-mannered dogs who aren’t too rowdy or pushy. Lately, I’ve even been showing more curiosity and playful behavior with the dogs in my area! In my foster home, I do really well with my two foster siblings—I rely on them for confidence, love following their lead, and we have lots of fun playtime together. I would also do well as the only dog in the home, or with calm and respectful doggy friends. Having my own cozy place to rest, like a bed that’s just for me, helps me feel secure and happy.   With Cats: I don’t have much experience with cats yet, but with my gentle and sweet nature, I believe I’ll do just fine with thoughtful introductions. I’m the kind of pup who’s happy to quietly sit near cats and tolerate their presence, so with patience and care, I can learn to live peacefully alongside a feline friend.   ENERGY LEVEL I have a low-to-medium energy level. I love going for leashed walks and enjoy a good off-leash romp in a fully enclosed area where I can safely stretch my legs. Once I’ve had my bit of outdoor fun, I’m content to settle down quietly indoors. I also know how to keep myself entertained with toys when I’m in the mood, which makes me a pretty easygoing companion.    TRAINING & HABITS   When it comes to leash walking, I’m already doing quite well and improving every day! I’m a fast learner and eager to please, which makes training me a fun and rewarding experience. Sometimes, if I feel unsure in a new environment or around unfamiliar people or dogs, I may pull a little on leash—but with gentle encouragement and a bit of space, I quickly relax and follow along nicely.   I’m also a polite pup when it comes to barking. Occasionally, I’ll give a short alert bark if I hear noises in the condo hallway or while at the dog park, but nothing excessive. I’m very responsive to the “quiet” command and love being praised when I listen, which helps me keep my cool.   Car rides are still something I’m learning to get comfortable with. Sometimes I can get a little queasy or drooly from nerves, but I’m making progress with practice and patience. Making sure my tummy is empty before the trip really helps me feel better. With time, I know I’ll continue to grow more confident and relaxed.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m searching for a patient, loving family who can help me grow and become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: A family that offers a fun, structured, and safe environment as I come out of my shell. A family that enjoys outdoor activities and spending quality time together. A family that can shower me with love and attention. A family who understands that I can be a little skittish or nervous around new environments, people, and dogs, and is willing to guide me gently with patience, giving me the time I need to grow confident and show off my true silly, playful, and goofy side. A home as an only dog or with confident & respectful dog siblings.    SPECIAL NOTES  When I first came to my foster home, I was shy, anxious, and unsure of my new world. But with gentle approaches and patience, I quickly warmed up—I even claimed a cozy spot on the couch! I do best when I have my own bed and space, but I’ve been thriving with my two foster dog siblings. They give me confidence, and I love having a playmate. I’d also do well as an only dog, as long as my family gives me patience and structure. I enjoy leash walks, though I feel safest on quiet routes. Busy, noisy streets can scare me, but with time and encouragement, I’m learning to be brave. Off-leash in enclosed areas, I stay close by and have great recall. I’m also a smart girl who learns quickly—sometimes a little stubborn, but once I know a skill, I’m solid! I love belly rubs, head scratches, and being praised—it makes me beam with happiness. I can get a little overexcited when playing, but I’m improving every day with guidance. I’m still young, silly, and eager to please, and with the right family, I’ll blossom into the most loyal and loving companion. For More YouTube Clips, Click Below!
