Story
Meet Otte   Age: Approx. 8 years old Sex: Neutered Male Breed: Pomeranian Color: Tan Weight: 6 kg (13 lbs)   Rescue Story   Otte was found abandoned at a garbage site in heartbreaking condition, unable to properly use his hind legs due to serious injuries to both legs.   After being rescued, he underwent surgery followed by rehabilitation and has made an amazing recovery. He is now enjoying everyday life and is ready to find his forever family.   Despite everything he has been through, Otte is an affectionate little cuddle bug who loves people, attention, and treats!   ‍‍‍ Social with People   Otte enjoys affection and being close to his people. He can be picked up and carried, and once he feels comfortable with someone, he will even roll over and show his belly.   Otte does have some clear boundaries when it comes to handling. Because of his previous injuries and surgeries, he is particularly sensitive around his hind legs, hips, and tail. He may growl or attempt to nip if his legs are restrained or handled in a way that makes him uncomfortable, especially during things like nail trimming.   He may also occasionally decide he has had enough after being petted for a while and give a warning—only to come back shortly afterward asking to be petted again!   Otte needs someone who will pay attention to his body language and respect his boundaries rather than forcing interaction when he is uncomfortable.   With unfamiliar people, he may initially be hesitant to go for a walk, but usually becomes much more comfortable once he has had a little time to get to know them.   Social with Dogs   Otte is generally friendly with other dogs. He will approach unfamiliar dogs to say hello, although he usually isn’t particularly interested in playing with them.   He does well with dogs of different sizes, including dogs that are larger, similar in size, or smaller than him. Very high-energy dogs can be a little overwhelming for him, so a calmer canine companion would likely be a better match.   If another dog becomes confrontational, Otte generally prefers to avoid conflict rather than engage.   Cats   On walks, Otte does not show much interest in cats and tends to remain focused on his person.   Energy & Walks   Otte has a moderate energy level. He enjoys walks and outdoor activities but is also happy to relax afterward.   Although he has a significant orthopedic history, he has recovered well following surgery and rehabilitation and is able to enjoy his normal daily activities.   At Home   Otte is very food-motivated and loves his treats. He does not guard food from people.   He isn’t a fan of wearing clothes and may also be uncomfortable when a harness is being put on, so gentle and patient handling is important. He does, however, do well with brushing.   He has plenty of classic Pomeranian personality—affectionate, expressive, confident, and very clear about what he likes and doesn’t like!   Medical History   Otte has a history of significant injuries involving both hind legs. He underwent surgery in March 2026, followed by rehabilitation, and has recovered well. He is currently able to enjoy his normal daily activities.   Because of his previous injuries and surgeries, he can be sensitive to handling around his hind legs, hips, and tail, so gentle handling and respect for his boundaries are important.   Otte’s coat were shaved for his surgery and have been slow to grow back. He has been evaluated by a veterinarian, but at this point it is unclear whether his coat will fully grow back over time.   Ideal Home   Otte would do best with someone who appreciates the personality of a Pomeranian and understands that an affectionate dog can still have boundaries.   Previous experience with Pomeranians or similarly confident small dogs would be a plus. Most importantly, his adopter should be willing to read his body language, respect his signals, and use gentle handling—particularly around his hind legs.   After everything Otte has been through, he remains a loving little dog who wants to be close to his people.   Otte is looking for someone who will love his cuddly side, respect his boundaries, and appreciate his sassy little Pomeranian personality.

Story
QUICK FACTS Name: Jolly Age: 8 years old (Born January 2018) Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Pomspitz Color: White Weight:  4.1kg / 9lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from an illegal puppy farm, where I never had the chance to experience the safe and loving life every dog deserves. Thankfully, I was given a second chance and those difficult days are now behind me. I’m ready to start a brand new chapter with a forever family who will cherish me, shower me with love, and finally show me what it feels like to truly belong. Volunteers and staff believe I’m Kkoysong’s sister.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Healthy with no known health issues I have a slight underbite, which only adds to my adorable charm! It doesn’t cause me any issues, and I’m otherwise doing great.   MY PERSONALITY I’m a little shyer than my sister Kkosyong, but underneath my quiet nature is an incredibly sweet and affectionate girl. Because I wasn’t properly socialized earlier in life, I simply need some extra time and patience while I learn that I’m safe. Once I trust you, my affectionate side really comes out. I’ll happily follow you around asking for pets and cuddles, and I can actually be even more attention-loving than my sister! I also have some adorable little quirks. I like to enjoy my meals peacefully in my own corner and take my sweet time eating, which the volunteers find quite funny. Once I’m comfortable with you, I’m very cooperative with grooming and do well with nail trims, brushing, baths, and ear cleaning. Since I’m still building confidence in new environments, I may try to slip through an open door if I see an opportunity. My future family will need to be mindful of doors and make sure I’m safely secured and supervised, especially while I’m adjusting to my new home. With patience, a secure environment, and lots of love, I know my sweet and cuddly personality will continue to blossom.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I can be a little shy when we first meet, but with some patience and a few tasty treats, I warm up quickly and will happily take treats right from your hand. Since I didn’t have many opportunities for socialization earlier in life, I simply need a little extra time and understanding as I adjust to new people and environments. I even did wonderfully during my profile photoshoot and showed everyone just how sweet I can be! I’m comfortable being picked up, but gentle handling is important to me, especially when we’re still getting to know each other. I feel safest when my body and bottom are properly supported, and sudden pick-ups in unfamiliar environments can startle me and make me very scared. Once I’ve had time to build trust, though, I’m much more comfortable being held. After all, who doesn’t appreciate being treated with a little patience and gentleness? · With Dogs: I enjoy greeting new dogs, but I prefer to take my time rather than jumping straight into play. I coexist peacefully with my dog friends at the care facility and am comfortable sharing my space with them. I generally feel most at ease with dogs around my size or smaller, especially those with a calm and respectful approach. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown. A cat test can be arranged upon request to ensure the best fit.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a low energy level and am a true little couch potato at heart! I love spending my days relaxing, snoozing, and enjoying the comfort of a cozy indoor space. I don’t need constant activity to be happy and am perfectly content taking it easy and resting near my people.   TRAINING & HABITS I have great manners around food and don’t guard my meals from either people or other dogs. I also walk nicely on leash and follow my handler’s lead well, making me an easy and enjoyable walking companion. I’m a very quiet girl who rarely barks and generally prefers a peaceful environment. I already know how to settle and rest calmly in my kennel, so I’m comfortable having some quiet time on my own. For potty habits, I currently go both indoors using pee pads and outdoors. With a consistent routine in my forever home, I’m sure I’ll continue making great progress.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m searching for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: • A family that will provide me with a safe haven – where I can decompress, be myself in a stable environment • A family that understands my past and is patient with me throughout • A family that enjoys indoor and outdoor time together • A family that will love and cherish me forever • Understanding of my shy nature and willing to be patient while I come out of my shell   SPECIAL NOTES I’m a sweet, quiet girl who simply needs a little patience to show you just how loving I can be. Because I had limited socialization earlier in life, I may be shy at first and appreciate gentle handling, a secure environment, and the freedom to adjust at my own pace. Once I feel safe, my affectionate side really blossoms. I’ll happily follow my favorite people around looking for pets, cuddles, and companionship. I’m also a low energy little couch potato who loves peaceful days, cozy naps, and having my own space to relax. I get along well with other dogs, especially those around my size or smaller, and I already have wonderful habits like walking nicely on leash, settling calmly in my kennel, and having good manners around food. Give me a little time to trust you, and I promise there’s a gentle, loyal, and loving companion waiting to blossom.   JOLLY'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2818188##

Story
QUICK FACTS Name: Ppoyu Age: About 4 Years Old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Pomeranian – Spitz Mix Color: White Weight: 7.2kg / 15.8lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued in 2024 after being found neglected in a home filled with garbage, where I had been living without the proper care I needed. Thankfully, rescuers stepped in and brought me to safety, giving me the chance to experience a more secure and caring life. With that difficult chapter behind me, I’m now looking forward to a fresh start and finding a loving forever family to share my future with.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Spayed & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m Ppoyu! I’m a sweet, gentle girl with fluffy white fur, adorable pink ears, a pleasantly round little body, and a beautiful smiling face. I can be cautious around unfamiliar people at first, and in some situations I may bark quite a bit when someone new appears. But my uncertainty tends to disappear quickly—sometimes treats are all it takes to get our friendship started! I’ve even approached people I’ve just met to ask for affection, and I can usually become comfortable within a day. Once you start petting me, there’s a very good chance I’ll roll right over and show you my belly. I do this often when I’m enjoying affection, and I’ve even been known to lie down in the middle of a walk when someone stops to pet me. During an outdoor photo session I was initially unsure of everything, but once I was brought inside and given some gentle pets, I immediately rolled onto my back and relaxed. I may need a moment to feel safe, but there’s a wonderfully affectionate girl waiting just underneath that initial hesitation. I’m naturally very soft-natured, though, and even when I’m sharing treats alongside other dogs, I haven’t shown any tendency to guard the food. I’d love a family who can give me the companionship and stability I’ve been missing while understanding that a few of my habits may take time and patience to work through. Give me a safe home, gentle affection, and a chance to settle into everyday family life, and I’ll bring my fluffy white coat, pink ears, happy smile, and plenty of belly-up requests for pets along with me.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I can be a little shy when I first meet someone, but treats help me warm up quickly, and it usually doesn’t take long before I’m comfortable being petted. Once I start feeling at ease, my trusting side comes out—I may even show my belly to someone I’ve just met! I can be gently picked up with an arm supporting me under my belly, although being held isn’t something I particularly enjoy, so I appreciate having my preferences respected. I haven’t had experience with children under 13 yet, so my comfort level with younger kids is still unknown. · With Dogs: I’m comfortable approaching unfamiliar dogs to say hello, but I generally prefer a friendly greeting rather than engaging in play. I tend to be easygoing in my interactions, and if another dog tries to provoke me, I usually choose to move away and avoid conflict. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate energy level – I enjoy spending time outdoors, but I’m also happy to settle down and relax afterward. I’m an experienced walker with good leash manners and generally follow my person well without pulling. However, if something unexpected happens or I hear a loud noise, I may feel unsure and lie down while showing my belly, so calm reassurance and gentle guidance can help me feel secure and continue on my way.   TRAINING & HABITS I don’t guard my food around people or other dogs I’m calm and settled when I’m in a kennel. I may bark when I see unfamiliar people, but with time and positive experiences, I can be given opportunities to become more comfortable with new faces. I’m comfortable using both indoor pee pads and going potty outdoors.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m searching for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: A family that will provide me with a safe haven – where I can decompress, be myself in a stable environment A family that understands my past and is patient with me throughout A family that enjoys indoor and outdoor time together A family that will love and cherish me forever   SPECIAL NOTES My separation anxiety is not currently severe, but I may be prone to developing it. When I’m isolated by myself, I may pace or circle repeatedly and sometimes turn to bite at my tail or hindquarters. This repetitive behavior developed after I had been left neglected in a home filled with garbage. With companionship, enrichment, routine, and less isolation, may help me improve, although my family should continue to observe the behavior and support me patiently rather than expecting it to disappear immediately. I’m still learning some aspects of being handled. I don’t really understand how to be held in the usual way, so I tend to lie down while someone picks me up instead. If I’m grabbed incorrectly or held too tightly, I can become uncomfortable, so gentle handling and allowing me to learn at my own pace will be important.    PPOYU'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2827588##
