Story
Ready for her home in Toronto 🇨🇦 🐾 Background Shiloh is a beautiful girl who was rescued from a city pound in Buan, Korea last summer. After her rescue, she moved to our partner boarding house, where she has been living peacefully with other dogs. At the time of rescue, Shiloh was heartworm positive. She bravely completed her treatment and is now healthy, happy, and ready to find her forever home. 🐾 Personality and Socialization Shiloh has a lovely Golden Retriever type personality. She is friendly, social, and very people oriented. She is comfortable with both men and women and enjoys being around people, getting attention, and snuggling close. She is not shy and warms up easily, making her a joy to be around. Shiloh has lived with many dogs and does best with friendly dogs who enjoy playtime. She loves running around and spending time outdoors, and she gets along well with dogs that have good manners and positive energy. 🐾 Behaviour Shiloh is easygoing and well balanced. She enjoys playtime with dogs and people, but once she has had her fun, she is happy to lie down and relax nearby. She is not a big barker. She may bark a little when excited, such as at mealtime or when visitors arrive, but these are happy, short moments. She enjoys going for walks and loves outdoor time. She may pull a bit when she is excited, but overall she walks well on leash. Shiloh handles vet visits, baths, and car rides calmly and cooperatively. 🐾 Health and Diet Shiloh has fully completed her heartworm treatment and is now healthy. She is spayed, microchipped, dewormed, and vaccinated up to date. She has also completed dental scaling and receives monthly parasite preventatives. She eats dry food twice a day, is not a picky eater, and has shown no signs of food allergies. 🐾 Ideal Home Shiloh loves being with her people and would be happiest in a home where someone is around most of the time. Having another friendly dog to play with would be wonderful, as she enjoys canine companionship. A calm, loving family with a relaxed lifestyle and plenty of time to spend together would be the perfect match for this gentle, affectionate girl. Shiloh is truly a special soul, ready to give her whole heart to the family who welcomes her home. ⬇️ Become Shiloh's family through link below: https://www.freekoreandogs.org/dog/shiloh/

Story
Hi there, my name is Buddy. I’m a senior Golden Retriever with a heart as golden as my fur. I’ve had a full life already, and now I’m hoping for a soft place to land where I can spend my golden years feeling safe, loved, and part of a family again. For most of my life, I was an indoor dog and knew all about house manners. The last couple of years were a little different for me—I lived outside, and that’s made me a bit confused about where I’m supposed to potty now. I’m trying my best, but I’ll need a patient adopter who can help me remember the ropes and gently guide me as I relearn indoor life. I’ve recently been neutered, which should help with some of my marking habits too. I’m a very sweet, affectionate guy who truly enjoys people. I love attention, pets, and being close—sometimes I’ll just sit right at your feet to soak it all in. Treats are one of my greatest joys (I never say no to snacks!), and I know a couple of basic cues like sit and paw. I’ve lived happily with kids and another dog before, and I’m friendly with other dogs when properly introduced. Cats, though, aren’t really my thing. Because I’ve spent so much time outdoors, I’m looking for a home with a fully fenced backyard. That outdoor space will help me feel comfortable and confident as I transition back into being an indoor dog again. Having a yard will make learning and adjusting much easier for me. I can be a little unsure in new situations at first, but once I know I’m safe, my gentle, loving personality shines through. I’m not asking for perfection—just understanding, patience, and kindness. In return, I’ll give you loyalty, warmth, and the kind of companionship only a senior dog can offer. If you’re looking for a sweet soul who’s ready for his second chance, apply for me today!

Hi, I'm Zye!  Are you hiring? I'm only 50% Maremma but I promise I'm 100% ready to guard.

Story
Falkor is a stunning 3.5-year-old Golden Retriever x Husky who’s ready to find his forever home! This handsome boy came to the shelter as a stray and, although no one came looking for him, he hasn’t let that dampen his joyful spirit one bit. Falkor is albino and may be deaf, but don’t let that fool you—this confident, friendly guy is full of life, love, and personality. In fact, he already knows sit and shake a paw, and he shines brightest when working with hand signals. He’s super food motivated and absolutely lives for tennis balls, making future training a fun and rewarding adventure for both of you. Because Falkor likely can’t hear, he navigates the world through visual cues and touch. He isn’t bothered by loud noises, but he does appreciate a gentle heads-up before touch—think vibrations, visual signals, or letting him see you approach. Once he knows you’re there, he’s all in for affection and interaction! Consistent hand signals, positive reinforcement, and a clear visual “yes” (like a thumbs up) will help him thrive. Falkor will do best in a home with a secure, fenced backyard, as recall can be tricky for dogs who rely on sight instead of sound. He’ll need daily exercise and mental stimulation to keep his body and mind happy—but after playtime, he’s more than content to relax on his blankets, chew on his toys, and soak up the love. This sweet, social boy has a wonderful temperament and so much love to give. Falkor is looking for a family who understands that his hearing impairment comes with unique needs—and who is excited to embrace them as part of everyday life. With patience, consistency, and commitment, Falkor will be an incredibly rewarding companion. Falkor recently tested positive for Lyme disease and is currently undergoing additional testing to ensure he gets the best possible care. Lyme disease in dogs is transmitted by ticks and, when caught early, is often very manageable with treatment—many dogs continue to live happy, active lives with proper veterinary care. Falkor isn’t broken—he’s just a little different, and a whole lot special. Could you be the family he’s been waiting for? And yes… he really does look just like Falkor from The NeverEnding Story. Please complete an adoption application: https://www.hamilton.ca/home-neighbourhood/animals-pets/adopt-or-foster-pet/adoptions Falkor has a future appointment to be neutered on January 27th. His adopters must be willing to return him for this surgery. Animal adoptions and viewing are by appointment only. This allows our Adoption Staff to spend quality time with each potential home to ensure the most successful matches are made between the animals and their new families. *Please note: we only adopt within Ontario

Story
 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! I can’t wait to meet you and start our next adventure together.   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here!Ilbok's YouTube Playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwkBxxdtpKRWMXKSXQmWH07&si=PpQFB7u8W9at7g-e ##2458103##
