Story

*Note: Currently, Shiloh is in Korea, but she will arrive in Toronto on Jan 16 upon adoption. 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. ------------------------------------ For more info about the dog or the adoption application, please follow the link below. https://www.freekoreandogs.org/dog/shiloh/

Rocky (bonded with Hazel)

Golden Retriever/Husky

Male, 1 yr 1 mo

Windsor, ON

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story

Meet Rocky, a big, goofy husky-type guy with a whole lot of personality, an even bigger love for treats, and a heart that’s deeply devoted to his grandmother, Hazel. Rocky greets the world with enthusiasm, happily getting his leash on and heading out for walks with loose, wiggly confidence. For a dog his size, he only pulls hard when something especially exciting catches his eye—other dogs, for example—but he’s easy to redirect and eager to engage when food is involved. He knows his sit, takes treats gently, and responds really well to positive reinforcement, making him a fun and rewarding partner for continued training. Rocky is social and friendly, greeting strangers with a soft body and happy tail wags. His solid, people-friendly temperament isn’t just a joy for those who meet him—it’s also a source of comfort and confidence for Hazel, his grandmother, who helped raise him. Hazel relies on Rocky’s steady presence and outgoing nature to feel safe and secure in the world. Their bond is truly special, and for her sake, Rocky needs to stay by her side. These two have grown up together, leaned on one another, and they are happiest and most confident when they’re together. Rocky seems to enjoy the company of other dogs, especially with proper introductions and a bit of guidance when his excitement bubbles over. True to his husky roots, he can be vocal, impatient, and a little jumpy. While he’s tolerant of handling, he’s not a big snuggler and prefers to keep moving—unless, of course, he’s checking in on Hazel. He has lived with kids before and could do so again, though children should be sturdy since Rocky might accidentally bowl them over in his excitement. He has never lived with cats, so his response is unknown; dog-savvy cats and slow introductions would be needed to set everyone up for success. Rocky will need some help with housetraining and managing marking, along with a home that’s set up to prevent counter surfing and mischief. With consistency, structure, and plenty of mental and physical outlets, he’s likely to thrive. Rocky would do best with an active adopter who appreciates a talkative, playful dog—and who understands that adopting Rocky also means honoring the beautiful bond he shares with his grandmother, Hazel. She needs him, he needs her, and together they’re looking for a home where they can continue their journey side by side.

Story

Hello… my name is Hazel. I’m a grandma (a young one at 5 1/2 years old), and this is my story: I might not be the first one to run up and say hello. New places and new people can feel pretty big to me, and sometimes I need a moment to watch, to breathe, and to decide that everything is okay. I promise I’m trying. I really do want to be brave. I just do my best thinking when the world slows down a little. There is one thing in this world that makes everything feel safer right away, and that’s my grandson, Rocky. Rocky is my heart. He’s my courage when mine runs low. When he’s beside me, I remember who I am. My body softens, my tail starts to wag, and suddenly I feel like I can say hello to the world again. I follow his lead because he’s good at this stuff, better than I am. If he trusts you, I know I can too. He keeps an eye on me, checks in to make sure I’m okay, and I lean on him more than I can ever explain. I’ve taken care of him, and now he takes care of me. When Rocky isn’t with me, I can be shy. I might hang back or freeze up if I feel rushed. I need gentle hands, patience, and people who listen when I say “I’m not ready yet.” But if you give me that time, I will come closer. I’ll start with a sniff, then a chin scratch, and before you know it I’ll be leaning in for more, soaking up the love I’ve been wanting to give and receive all along. With Rocky by my side, though? Oh, I’m a different girl. I’ll happily greet strangers, accept pets, and even get a little silly. I’ve lived with kids before and, as long as my boy is nearby, I seem to love everyone. Other friendly dogs are okay too, but Rocky is my favorite place to be. We enjoy walking together, exploring at our own pace, and just existing side by side. That’s enough for us. I don’t ask for much. A calm, understanding home. People who see that being sensitive doesn’t mean being broken. A family who will keep me with my grandson, because we are a package deal, stitched together by trust and love. Someone who understands that I might take a little time to settle, but who will be rewarded with a loyal, gentle heart once I do. If you open your home to us, you’re not just adopting two dogs. You’re giving a grandma the peace of knowing her grandson is safe, and a grandson the chance to keep being the brave little light that guides his grandma through the world. Also I`d like to mention I did test Lyme positive, that I am currently being treated for. An IDEXX 4DX test was performed in shelter usi

🖤FOSTER-TO-ADOPT TIMOTHY🖤 M | 3Y | 29.2 KG | Golden Retriever | Neutered | UTD on shots | No dogs | Cat tested | Kid tested | You’re not ready for this, BATM fam. We have a lovely doggie that you will love to Tim-Bits! And that wonderful gentleman is Timothy! With a heart as golden as his fur, Timothy is the most lovely sidekick any super family could ask for! When Timothy goes to school, he masters the art of loving his hoomans deeply. Timothy will need a fam who is down to work on all basic training and teach him the ropes of living in a home environment. He has yet to meet cats, so proper introductions will be extra key in ensuring success with the feline friends. Timothy has met kids in the great outdoors and showed them his sweet side. We think he could do well in a home with some young'uns as long as proper introductions are set up. Our sweet boy would prefer to be the only dog of the show as he doesn’t vibe too well with other canines To foster-to-adopt (two week adoption trial), please fill out the adoption application via the link in our bio.

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.
