Story
⭐️ AVAILABLE for ADOPTION Tex | 1 yr | Jack Russell Mix | 27 lbs | Neutered | Microchipped | Good with dogs | Cats and kids unknown. Say hello to Tex, the happy, goofy boy who brings sunshine wherever he goes! He’s playful, cuddly, and full of puppy charm. 💛 Why You’ll Love Tex Tex is an adorable mix of silly and sweet. In the yard, he sniffs for critters and does the cutest little fox-pounce when he thinks he’s found something. Inside, he’s convinced the running kitchen tap is hiding a “monster” and he’s determined to investigate! He loves his classic Kong, long walks, fun hikes, and most of all snuggles. This boy melts into your arms and gives the softest, sweetest looks. 🏡 At Home Tex sleeps in his crate at night, wakes up around 7:30 a.m. for cuddles and breakfast, then alternates between playtime, naps, and adventures. Car rides make him a bit nervous at first, but he settles after a bit. He’s still working on house training and may have one pee accident a day, plus he’s a little mouthy (like puppy energy) but he’s smart and learning fast. 🥰 The Perfect Match If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate pup who will make you laugh every day and love you endlessly, Tex is your boy.

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!)

Meet Vanilla   Name: Vanilla Age: 6 years Sex: Spayed Female Breed: Terrier mix Color: Beige/White Weight: 5kg Height (shoulder): 23cm   Her Rescue Story   Vanilla was found in a temple parking lot in late August 2025 and brought to a city shelter. Despite being gentle and calm, she was placed on the euthanasia list — but was thankfully rescued just in time. Now she’s safe, cherished, and waiting for a loving family.   ‍‍ Social with People   Vanilla is quiet, calm, careful, and incredibly gentle. When called, she approaches slowly, lies down, and shows her belly. She allows handling, being picked up, and enjoys quiet affection. She’s still a bit unsure around men, but has no avoidance or fear reactions. She is expected to do well with children under 13 due to her soft temperament.   Social with Dogs   Vanilla minds her own business and rarely engages other dogs. She tends to be intimidated by larger dogs and will politely move away. Even when getting attention from humans, she may relocate if other dogs crowd around. She currently doesn’t initiate play, but may become more confident once settled in a home.   With Cats   Likely to be fearful — cat testing can be arranged if needed   Energy Level   Low — she enjoys resting, relaxing, and peaceful indoor life. Perfect for a calm, cozy household.   Walks   She walks well and follows her handler, frequently checking in for reassurance. She enjoys quiet areas but may stop or hesitate in busy streets with heavy traffic. With patience and encouragement, she’ll continue to build confidence outside.   Other Notes   No resource guarding — toward people or dogs No separation anxiety No barking Calm & comfortable in a kennel/crate Currently potty trained outdoors   Ideal Home   A relaxed, quiet home with gentle humans who will offer patience, comfort, and security. She’s the perfect companion for someone seeking a peaceful, loving, low-energy dog.   If Vanilla sounds like the perfect match for your family, we’d love to hear from you!

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
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

QUICK FACTS Name: Anpang Age: 2 years old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Terrier mix (with a Chihuahua-like appearance) Color: Brown and black Weight: 6 kg / 13 lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was once on the euthanasia list at the Miryang City Shelter, with only a little time left.Luckily, a kind volunteer rescued me just in time, and now I’m safe, healthy, and ready to find a loving forever home.   MY HEALTH I tested negative for heartworm after treatment.   MY PERSONALITY Hi! I’m a sweet little girl who might be a bit shy at first, but I warm up quickly and then I’m full of love and affection. I adore treats, love to cuddle, and sometimes I even cling to new friends to show how much I care! I have the playful, spunky personality of a Chihuahua–Terrier mix and love showing off my cute, charming side.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I’m a little shy at first, but I’ll take treats from your hand and warm up quickly, letting you pet me soon after. I generally like women but can be scared of men. I haven’t met children under 13 yet, and once I feel comfortable, I even show my belly. · With Dogs: I’m very friendly and social, approaching not only my dog friends but also new dogs to say hello and invite them to play. I’ll greet unfamiliar dogs, though I don’t always play with them right away. I’m generally most comfortable and friendly with dogs that are similar in size to me. · With Cats: I haven’t been around cats, so my reactions to them are unknown.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate energy level — I enjoy outdoor activities, but I relax calmly afterward. I tend to pull on the leash a little, but I generally follow people well.   TRAINING & HABITS I don’t guard my food, whether around people or other dogs. I may bark to ask for something I want, but I stay calm in my kennel. I’m comfortable going potty on indoor pads as well as outside. MY IDEAL HOME I’d do best in a calm and patient home where I can get gentle guidance and consistent care. A family who can give me lots of love, treats, and snuggles will be perfect — I promise to fill your days with happiness and sweetness!   SPECIAL NOTES I tend to be shy around strangers at first, but I warm up quickly. Once I’m comfortable, I’m very affectionate and love showing my playful, sweet side. Sometimes I even cling and show affection to people I’m meeting for the first time. I really love treats! I’m considered a Level 2 rescue dog, which means I’m friendly and social but may need some patience, gentle guidance, and consistent care. I have the look and personality of a Chihuahua–Terrier mix.   Angpang's YouTube Playlist   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2587379##
