Story
 QUICK FACTS  Name: Iko Age: 10 months old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Jack Russel Terrier mix Color: Black, White, Brown spots Weight: 7kg / 15.4lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed    MY RESCUE STORY  I was rescued from a crowded city pound after being placed on the euthanasia list simply because there wasn’t enough space. Those gloomy, uncertain days are now behind me, and I’m safe at last. Now I’m ready to turn the page and begin a bright new chapter with a forever family who will love and cherish me.    MY HEALTH  • All vaccinations up-to-date • Spayed & healthy with no known health issues    MY PERSONALITY  I’m actually pretty calm for a terrier mix! I’m a gentle, sweet, and slightly shy girl who likes to explore the world at my own pace. While I can be a little reserved at first, I warm up quickly — and I did so well during my profile photoshoot! I felt especially confident indoors and showed my softer side with ease. It truly doesn’t take me long to open up and share my affectionate, loving personality once I feel safe.    MY SOCIAL SKILLS  · With People: I love receiving affection and pets from people! I just need a little time at first to feel comfortable and warm up. It doesn’t take long though — especially if you have a few tasty treats! Once I feel safe with you, I’ll happily follow you around and even roll over to show my belly, asking for snuggles and love whenever I can. · With Dogs: I like to greet new dogs politely, but I don’t rush straight into play. I prefer to take a little time for myself first, explore my surroundings, and feel comfortable. Once I feel safe, I’m happy to engage and enjoy playtime with my dog friends. I do best with dogs who match my calm, balanced energy, as very high-energy pups can sometimes feel overwhelming for me. · 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 enjoy a healthy balance of play and relaxation. I love running around and exploring outdoors, taking in all the sights and smells. After I’ve had my fun and fresh air, I’m perfectly content to come inside and snuggle up for some cozy downtime.    TRAINING & HABITS  I’m still learning my leash manners and getting better every day. I love people so much that sometimes I’ll stop every few steps just to roll over, show my belly, and ask to be picked up for snuggles! Being close to my humans is my favorite thing. I don’t guard my food from people, though I can be a little sensitive if other dogs are nearby during mealtime. I rarely bark and usually only do so if I’m hoping for some attention. I rest calmly in my kennel and am comfortable using both indoor pee pads and going potty outdoors.    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 • Understanding my love for food and willing to guide me with patience so I learn to be more patient when other dogs are nearby during meal times • A family willing to guide me with continued social obedience and training    SPECIAL NOTES  I absolutely love to eat and have a surprisingly huge appetite for such a small body! Food is definitely the way to my heart, which makes me easy to train and a joy to bond with. I’m still a young pup learning about the world, discovering new things every day, and growing more confident along the way. I have so much potential inside me, and with the love and guidance of my forever family, I know I’ll blossom into a deeply devoted and loyal companion.   Iko's Youtube Playlist    Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org  For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2671638##

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##

 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.
