Story
I’m a small Jack Russell Terrier mix girl, around 6kg, with a beautiful leopard-patterned coat that everyone says is super charming. I was rescued while wandering the streets with my sister Seri, but even after all that, I’ve grown into one of the happiest, warmest little puppies you’ll ever meet. I get along wonderfully with other dogs and adjust quickly to new places and new friends. I’m very affectionate with people, too — call my name and I’ll run right over, or I might quietly tuck myself right beside your leg, just wanting to be close. Walks are my absolute favorite! I’m full of curiosity, so I love sniffing around, exploring new sights, and enjoying every moment outside. Even with all my excitement, I don’t pull or rush ahead, so walking with me is always pleasant and easy. Since I’m still a puppy, I’m learning my potty training skills, but I’m smart and quick to pick things up — I’ll get the hang of it with gentle, consistent teaching. I may be small, but I have a big, warm presence that melts hearts the moment you meet me. I’m waiting for the family who will love me forever and let me share my bright, curious energy with them. If you can give a cozy, loving home to a little girl full of wonder and affection, I’ll give you all the love in my tiny body in return. 💛 With love, Nerie 🐶✨

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
Hi, I’m Sarang. 🧡 I’m a 2-year-old boy, small enough to fit right into your arms at just 6kg. I’m a Jack Russell Terrier mix, but people say I’m more like a tiny bundle of gentleness than a terrier. My story didn’t start easy. I was abandoned when I was just a baby and ended up in a shelter. I was even put on the euthanasia list… but someone saw me, believed my life mattered, and rescued me just in time. That’s why I’m here today — a little miracle with a very big hope for a family. Because I grew up in a small, crowded shelter, I learned to be careful with the world. I’m a bit shy and quiet when I meet new people. I like to keep a tiny bit of distance at first… just enough to feel safe. But once I realize someone is kind, patient, and gentle, I slowly open my heart. And when I open it, I really open it. I can take treats from your hand, lean into your arms, and show you affection I’ve kept tucked away for so long. I once stayed with a foster family for a short time, and they said I was an angel — calm in the car, easy to care for, and incredibly sweet. I’m living at a training center now, and I get along well with the other dogs. I try my best not to bother anyone, because that’s just who I am: small, polite, and quiet. I may be tiny, but inside me is a very soft heart that just needs a little time and a lot of love. I haven’t had many chances to experience the world yet, so I’m still learning how to show my feelings. But if I find a real family — someone who won’t rush me, someone who understands my slow pace, someone who will treasure my small but brave heart — I know I’ll bloom. I don’t need much. Just a patient hand. A warm lap. A home where I can finally relax. A family who will help me replace my early memories with new, happier ones. If you choose me, I promise to try my very best — day by day — to trust more, love more, and show you the sweet, gentle boy everyone keeps saying I am. Please adopt me, and let me learn what happiness truly feels like. I’m waiting for the person who will call me family. 🧡 — Sarang

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
 Under AKR Custody Review (Adoption temporarily on hold pending resolution of foster situation) Currently in Vancouver!!! Name: Mongmong Age: 4 years old Sex: Neutered Male Breed: JRT (Jack Russell Terrier) Mix Color: Black, tan, and white Weight: 9.5 kg (20.9 lbs) Height (at shoulder): 32 cm (12.6 inches)   Mongmong is a sweet and affectionate pup who loves people — whether you’re a familiar friend or someone he’s just met, he’ll happily come over for pets and attention. He’s especially gentle with young children and is comfortable being picked up with arms under his belly. Once he warms up, he’ll even show you his belly! He’s curious about other dogs and will approach them to say hello, though he doesn’t typically engage in play. Gentle with cats, not much interest in them. Mongmong has a moderate energy level and enjoys outdoor activities like walks, but settles down calmly afterward. He’s well-behaved on leash, doesn’t pull, and follows his human companion nicely. He is not food aggressive and remains calm in a kennel or during car rides. Mongmong was found injured, likely from a car accident, and was at risk of euthanasia at a municipal shelter. After being rescued, Mongmong had one eye removed due to phthisis bulbi, a condition that caused his eye to shrink and lose function and had hernia surgery on 25.05.01-but he’s recovered beautifully and is now ready for a fresh start Mongmong is a brave little survivor with a heart full of love. He’s looking for a forever home where he can feel safe, cherished, and loved — could that be with you?

Story
Meet Bao — Sweet, Loyal, and Ready for Her Forever Family!   Name: Bao Age: 3 years Sex: Spayed Female Spayed: Yes Breed: Terrier Mix Color: Black/Brown/White Weight: 7.5kg Height (shoulder): 41cm   Rescue Story   Bao entered a city shelter in 2023 with her mother. She was rescued at around 4 months old and spent about 2 years in a foster home looking for an adopter in Korea, but without success. She joined AKR in mid-October to prepare for her chance at a forever home overseas.   ‍‍ Socialization with People   Bao lived with a single foster guardian for nearly 2 years, so she naturally forms a deep bond with one person. Once she trusts you, she becomes incredibly loyal and affectionate — a true one-person “velcro dog.”   At first meetings, she may be shy, but she warms up quickly with treats and gentle interaction. She has done well with children under 13 and can be picked up comfortably by placing arms under her belly. Once she’s comfortable, she happily shows her belly for rubs.   Socialization with Dogs   Bao is sociable and gets along well with other dogs.   Just like she bonds strongly to a favorite person, she may also become very attached to a particular dog friend. If that dog doesn’t want to play with her, she may whine a little to get their attention — it’s part of her sweet, clingy charm.   She plays well with both large and small dogs. If another dog barks or tries to provoke her, she does not react or fight back — instead, she runs to her guardian for safety. She generally prefers people over dogs.   Cats   She has shown interest and playful whining when seeing cats outdoors. A home-cat test is available upon request.   Energy Level   Moderate — she enjoys outdoor activities, running, and playtime, but settles calmly afterward. In her foster home, she enjoyed 1–2 hours of walking and play each day.   ‍ Walks   Bao has plenty of walking experience. She does not pull, follows her handler well, and loves going for walks and exploring new places.   Other Behaviors • No food guarding toward people or dogs • Not severe separation anxiety, but she may whine if her person suddenly leaves the room • Strong people attachment — wants to be near her person • May bark when hearing outside noises • Gets car-sick and may need to be monitored during rides • Prefers outdoor potty   If Bao sounds like the loving companion you’ve been looking for, please submit an application today Adoptmekr.org Currently in South Korea (available for international adoption!)
