Story
I’m a small Jack Russell Terrier mix girl, weighing about 6kg. I may be tiny, but my heart is incredibly big. My sister and I were rescued after wandering the streets at a very young age. Even though life was tough in the beginning, I never let it take away my bright spirit or my warm, loving nature. I love other dogs and make friends easily. Meeting new furry buddies is one of my favorite things, and I’m always gentle and friendly. I adore people even more — if our eyes meet, my tail starts wagging before I can even think about it! I just can’t help wanting to be close to you. I’m also a great walking companion. I match your pace beautifully and enjoy taking in the world around me with calm curiosity. Walks with me are peaceful, happy moments. I’m still a puppy, so I’m learning my potty manners at home. But don’t worry — I’m smart, eager to please, and I pay close attention to my humans. With a bit of consistency and love, I’ll learn quickly. Above all, I’m a little girl who loves giving and receiving affection. My heart is warm, soft, and ready to belong to someone special. I’m waiting patiently — and hopefully — for my first and forever family. If you can give a small life like me a warm home and endless love, I promise to give you all of my heart in return. 💛 With love, Seri 🐶💕

Story
Hi, I'm Vanilla! 🐶✨ A little lovebug with a big heart, ready to start a brand new chapter — maybe with you? I'm a 2-year-old girl, full of energy, love, and second chances. I didn’t always have it easy — I was left behind at an oyster factory in Tongyeong, forgotten and alone. Even after having four puppies, no one looked out for me… but that’s all in the past now. I was rescued, and ever since, I've been learning how beautiful life can be when you’re loved. Now I know how to trust, how to play, and most of all — how to love back. I’ve even picked up some smart tricks like “sit,” “paw,” and “go to your house!” Not bad, right? I’m super friendly and absolutely adore people — men and women alike. I haven’t met many young children yet, and since I’m pretty bouncy and energetic, I might do best with older kids who can match my vibe. Other dogs? LOVE them. I get excited to meet new furry friends and will happily introduce myself first! I haven’t met any cats yet, so I can’t say how we’d get along, but I don’t have any aggression or prey drive — I’m more about snuggles and zoomies than anything else. I’m still working on leash training, and I’m not totally used to living indoors yet, but I’m a quick learner. If you show me the way, I’ll follow. I’m a good girl with my barking, too — I might bark when someone new comes in or if I’m really excited, but if you say “no,” I usually settle down quickly. I love being touched, hugged, and cuddled, especially by women. I’ll even give you gentle hugs to show you how much I care. With male guardians, I’m respectful — if you’re not in the mood for snuggles, I’ll understand and give you space. I enjoy toys but I don’t destroy things in the house, and I’m not possessive over food or toys either. Sharing is caring, right? Health-wise, I’m in great shape — no major illnesses in my past, just a whole lot of resilience and a heart full of love. Now all that’s missing is a forever family. A warm home. A couch to cuddle on. A person — or people — who will never leave me behind again. Could that be you? I’m ready to be your joy, your companion, and your sunshine. Let’s write our story together. 💛 With love, Vanilla

Story
Meet Hiro   Name: Hiro Age: 5 years Sex: Neutered Male Breed: Jack Russell Mix Color: Brown Weight: 12.5 kg Height: 41 cm   Rescue Story   Hiro was rescued from a municipal shelter at the end of 2023.   When Hiro first arrived at the private shelter, he would occasionally grab onto clothing when he became overly excited or happy. It was determined to be playful behavior rather than aggression, and after over a year of consistent training, this behavior is now very rare.   Because of this, Hiro has spent over a year in professional training focused on impulse control, obedience, and handling skills He has made tremendous progress and now only shows this behavior very rarely (about once every few months). These days, he is much more likely to express affection through cuddling and leaning into people instead   He has also earned a Dog Fitness Level 3 certification with his trainer   ‍‍‍ Socialization with People   Hiro absolutely loves people He is affectionate with strangers, men, children, and familiar people alike. He loves cuddling, climbing into laps, showing his belly, and being close to his humans   He can be picked up comfortably and enjoys physical affection. While he is very sweet-natured, he is also energetic, playful, strong, and intelligent — very typical of a Jack Russell mix   Because of his playful intensity and energy level, Hiro would do best with an adopter who understands active working-type breeds and can continue providing structure, boundaries, and mental stimulation   Socialization with Other Dogs   Hiro is social and friendly with other dogs and enjoys greeting and playing with unfamiliar dogs However, people are always his priority.   He especially enjoys playing with dogs similar to or larger than his size. Smaller dogs do not interest him much. If another dog behaves rudely, Hiro may give an appropriate warning, but he has never fought with another dog.   He enjoys social time but is also perfectly happy relaxing alone in the sun after playtime   Cats   Cat testing has not yet been done, but can be arranged if needed.   Energy Level   Hiro has bursts of high energy and loves active play, but after about 30 minutes of exercise he usually settles nicely and relaxes.   He especially enjoys training and learning new things, so mental enrichment and structured activities are very important for him   Walks   Hiro is very experienced on walks and generally walks well. However, he is smart and tends to test handlers at first. If boundaries are unclear, he may pull or try to make his own decisions.   With calm but firm leadership and structure before walks, he listens very well and becomes an excellent walking companion   Other Behaviors   Hiro does not guard food or toys from people or other dogs He has no separation anxiety and is calm in a kennel.   He may bark excitedly when greeting people he loves, especially when his owner returns home   He rides very well in the car, can jump in and out on his own, and is currently outdoor potty trained   Hiro is an affectionate, intelligent, funny, and active dog who forms strong bonds with people He would thrive in a home that appreciates the lively personality and clever mind of a Jack Russell mix while continuing to provide structure, exercise, and love.

Name: Lime ***CURRENTLY IN VANCOUVER!!! Age: 2 years Sex: Spayed Female Breed: Terrier Mix Color: Black / Brown / White Weight: 7.5 kg Height (shoulder): 40 cm   Rescue Story Lime was rescued from a municipal shelter.   Personality & Socialization   With People ‍‍‍: Lime tends to bark at new people at first — not so much out of fear, but more like a habit (similar to a yard dog alerting to newcomers). She is very vocal initially, but this settles quickly once she becomes familiar.   Within just a few days, she transforms into a cuddly, affectionate companion who loves attention   Once comfortable, Lime enjoys being close to her people — she will nuzzle between your legs, ask for pets from anyone she trusts, and happily show her belly She can also be picked up comfortably by supporting her belly.   With Other Dogs : Lime is friendly and social with other dogs, both familiar and new. She approaches politely, initiates play, and gets along well regardless of size.   She generally avoids conflict and will walk away if another dog is pushy. While she enjoys social time, she is also independent and relaxes well on her own.   With Cats : Not yet tested, but can be assessed upon request.   Energy Level : Low energy. Lime enjoys calm environments and prefers lounging and relaxing She also likes playing independently with toys.   Additional Notes :   No food guarding No separation anxiety Calm and well-mannered Crate trained Outdoor potty trained ‍ Minimal demand barking   Note: Lime’s main challenge is her initial barking at unfamiliar people. With a bit of patience during introductions, she warms up quickly and becomes very affectionate Apply to adopt or foster: https://adoptmekr.org  Please also visit our Facebook and Instagram!

Meet Pixie *Currently in Victoria 3 years old | 8.5 kg | Spayed Female | Mixed Breed   About Pixie Pixie is a gentle, sensitive girl with a quiet and sweet nature. She can be a bit shy at first and takes time to build trust, but once she feels comfortable, she forms a strong bond and shows her affectionate side. She enjoys relaxing nearby and will happily nap while you work, and sleeps peacefully in her own bed at night.   With People Pixie is naturally shy and may take some time to warm up to new people. She tends to bond closely with one primary person and feels most comfortable once a routine is established. She may be more reserved around men and can find busy environments or young children overwhelming, so she would do best in a calm and predictable home.   With Dogs & Cats Pixie does very well with other dogs and has great social awareness. She prefers calm, respectful dogs and may avoid overly energetic ones, but she enjoys gentle play with smaller, easygoing companions. She is also cat-friendly and typically keeps to herself around them.   Energy & Walks Pixie has a medium energy level. She enjoys walks, especially in quieter areas where she can explore and sniff. She walks nicely on leash and generally does not pull, though she may feel a bit unsure in busy or noisy environments. In calm, open spaces like beaches or forests, she really relaxes and enjoys herself.   Ideal Home Pixie is looking for a calm, patient home where she can continue to build confidence at her own pace.   Adult-only home preferred (older, calm children may be considered) Quiet, low-traffic environment Ideally with a calm, well-balanced dog companion Someone who understands that she may need time to fully open up   Why Pixie? Pixie is a sweet and loyal companion who will truly blossom in the right home. With patience and understanding, she will reward her person with quiet affection and a deep bond.
