Story
CURRENTLY IN TORONTO!!! Yeontan Breed: Terrier mix Age: 3 years old Gender: Neutered male Color: Black Weight: 6.1 kg (13.5 lbs) Height: 42 cm (shoulder height)   About Yeontan   Yeontan is a sweet and affectionate 3-year-old Terrier mix with a gentle, people-loving personality. He enjoys human attention and loves being close to his people. If you show him interest, he will happily return it with even more affection — rubbing against you, asking for pets, and showing his belly once he feels comfortable.   He tends to prefer women slightly more than men, but he is friendly with strangers and allows handling easily. He can be picked up and held in your arms, and he truly enjoys being cuddled by people he trusts   Personality & Temperament • Good with people: Yes (very friendly) • Good with kids: Unknown (has not met children under 13, but expected to do well) • Good with dogs: Selective • Good with cats: Unknown (can be tested) • Energy level: Low to medium   Yeontan is not a “party dog” who plays with everyone. He prefers a small circle of dog friends and enjoys calm, gentle dogs who are similar in size or have a softer personality. He does not like large or very high-energy dogs and may avoid them.   Daily Life & Training   Yeontan walks nicely on leash without pulling. He follows his handler well and enjoys calm outdoor time rather than intense activity   He currently does outdoor potty only and is well-mannered in a kennel. He does not show signs of separation anxiety or excessive barking.   Other Behaviours • No food guarding with people or dogs • May guard toys slightly from other dogs • Will bark at dogs who play too roughly with him • Not aggressive, just communicates boundaries • Nervous about getting into cars (needs to be carried in), but once inside, he rides well with no motion sickness   Ideal Home   Yeontan would do best in a calm home with gentle, patient adopters who enjoy companionship more than intense activity. A home with no dogs or with one small, calm dog would be ideal. He would thrive with someone who enjoys cuddling, relaxed walks, and spending quality time together   Rescue Story   Yeontan entered a high-kill shelter in November 2025 and was scheduled for euthanasia. At the time he was found wearing a white collar, which suggests he once had an owner but was likely abandoned. He was rescued in early December and brought to the AKR Center, where he has been safe and cared for ever since Apply to adopt : https://adoptmekr.org  Please also visit our Facebook and Instagram! ##2648050##

Story
 QUICK FACTS  Name: Pori Age: About 6 years old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Terrier Mix Color: White Weight: 12kg / 26.5lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed    MY RESCUE STORY  I was just a tiny puppy, about two months old, back in 2020 when I, along with my fivesiblings, was left at a shelter because our previous owner couldn’t take care of us. Thanks to the kind people who rescued us, I was given a second chance at life. Now, I’m ready to start a new chapter of my life and find a loving forever home where I can be safe, happy, and part of a family.    MY HEALTH  • All vaccinations up-to-date • Spayed • Atopic Dermatitis    MY PERSONALITY  Hello, my name is Pori! I am a small and adorable terrier with a gentle, shy nature. I may be timid, but I have a big heart, and I am friendly with people and even allow new friends to pet me! With time and patience, and of course love, I know that I will bloom and be the best friend you’re looking for!     MY SOCIAL SKILLS  · With People: I may be a little shy at first, but I can be pet and be held in your arms with a little bit of time, after we become friends!   · With Dogs: I say hello to dog friends, but I enjoy my personal space. However, I rely on my friends for comfort and support, and I am more relaxed with a friend around! · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown (Cat test can be requested to ensure the best fit)   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY  I have moderate energy level – I like to be outside for my playtime and like to rest inside afterwards, all snuggled up! I’m not too familiar with walks, and may lie down if I get scared, so quiet walking paths are best. I can pull on the leash sometimes, but I usually follow my handler well.    TRAINING & HABITS  I don’t guard my food from people or dogs. I may bark at strangers, but with time and gentle introduction, I can warm up to new people. I am calm when I am in the kennel, but I am not too familiar with cars, and will need assistance getting in and out of the car.  I’m comfortable going to the bathroom both on indoor pads and outside.    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 • A dog friend that I can rely on for support and guidance    SPECIAL NOTES  I may need a few days to adapt to the new environment, but with your gentle guidance and love, I know that I have the potential to be the best friend and the family member you’re looking for!    Pori's Youtube Playlist    Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org  For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2646751##

Story
Current Foster Location: Brockville, ON Hi, I’m Raph — I'm a backyard explorer, tail-wagging greeter, and all-around great guy. I love sniffing every inch of the yard (daily patrols are important), going for walks, and cruising in the car. I get along with everyone—dogs, people, probably squirrels too if they’d hold still. I listen well, love to be greeted with a smile (and return the favour), and I’m happiest when I’m hanging out with my best friend Samantha. We’re a perfect pair—calm, affectionate, and full of life. If you're looking for two wonderful little companions who will fit right into your life and your heart, we’re it. Seriously. You couldn’t ask for better dogs.

Story
Current Foster Location: Brockville, ON Hi, I’m Samantha — I've got soft paws, a big heart, and I'm an expert cuddler. When I want affection (which is often), I gently put my little paws on your lap to let you know: It’s cuddle o’clock. I’m calm, sweet, and I do a happy bunny hop when I get excited. I walk beautifully, love making friends, and I fit into new routines like I’ve always been there. I’m bonded with my best buddy Raph — we’re a little dream team of senior sweetness. Adopt us both, and your house will instantly feel more like home.

Story
 QUICK FACTS  Name: Merona Age: 9 months old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Terrier Jindo mix Color: Black, White, Brown  Weight: 11kg / 24lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed    MY RESCUE STORY  I was rescued just in time from the euthanasia list at a city pound, where space was too tight to keep me. I’m not sure how I ended up there, but thanks to the kindness of my rescuers, I was given a second chance at life. Now safe, loved, and cared for, I’m ready to leave my past behind and find my forever family to love and cherish me unconditionally.    MY HEALTH  • All vaccinations up-to-date • Spayed & healthy with no known health issues    MY PERSONALITY  I’m a friendly girl who adores people and gets along well with dog friends too! I’m incredibly resilient, and staff and volunteers often comment on how quickly I adapt to new environments. I’m full of love and charm, and any family lucky enough to have me will be gaining a loyal, joyful companion who brightens every day!    MY SOCIAL SKILLS  · With People: I absolutely love people! I get so excited to greet new friends and can’t get enough of pets and affection. I haven’t met many kids yet, but with my gentle and friendly personality, I’m sure I’ll do wonderfully with respectful little humans. Once I feel safe and comfortable, I’ll happily show my belly and even let you pick me up for some extra snuggles! · With Dogs: I love my dog friends too! I’m always excited to greet new pups and play with them. I get along well with dogs of all sizes, and I’m such a sweet, easygoing friend that even when other dogs get a little pushy, I simply walk away and keep the peace. · 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 moderate energy level and love to run around, explore, and discover new things in my environment. After all my adventures, I’m more than happy to come inside and snuggle up for some cozy, relaxing downtime.    TRAINING & HABITS  I can get a little excited and pull on the leash at times, but I generally follow my handler’s lead really well. I don’t guard my food around people or other dogs, and I’m usually a quiet pup, though I might give a little bark when I want attention. I’m still learning to rest calmly in my kennel, and I’m fully potty-trained, using both indoor pee pads and outdoor spaces. With a bit of patience and love, I’m learning every day and becoming an even sweeter, well-mannered companion!    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  I’m a sweet, gentle girl who adores people and enjoys spending time with my dog friends. I’m curious and playful, but I also love cozy snuggles once I’m indoors. I’m smart, eager to learn, and respond beautifully to gentle guidance and positive reinforcement. Whenever volunteers and staff visit the care facility, I’m always eager for extra pets and attention—I just can’t get enough of human companionship! With patience and love, I’ll blossom into a loyal, affectionate companion who will fill your days with joy, cuddles, and endless love. I can’t wait to find my forever family and share my heart with them!   Merona's Youtube Playlist    Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org  For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2642689##
