Story
My name is Lucas, and I’m a 4-year-old male Jack Russell Terrier × Welsh mix weighing around 10kg. I have a compact, sturdy body — but my short little legs are what everyone notices first. People often say I look extra adorable when I walk, and I think it’s because every step I take naturally makes people smile. 😊 For a long time, I lived in a shelter. I was rescued just before euthanasia, and since then I’ve been given a second chance at life. Now I’m staying in a training facility where I’m slowly learning what the world is like outside the shelter. Everything still feels new to me — other dogs playing freely, interesting smells on walks, toys, and especially kind human attention. It’s almost like I’m finally experiencing what it means to just be a dog. Because I’m discovering so much for the first time, I get very curious about everything around me. But there are also things I still need help understanding. Sometimes, if a hand suddenly reaches over my head or someone touches me unexpectedly, I can get scared and react defensively. In those moments, it may look like I’m trying to bite, but it’s really just fear — a way for me to protect myself when I feel unsure. When people take time to approach me gently, that behavior becomes much less, and my true personality starts to show. Because deep down… I’m actually a very sweet and affectionate boy. 💛 I just need time. What I need most is not quick bonding, but patience and understanding. If you let me come to you at my own pace instead of forcing touch or rushing interactions, I will slowly begin to trust you. It helps a lot when people approach me from the side or below rather than reaching over my head, and when they use calm voices and positive experiences to help me feel safe. Once I trust someone, I become a completely different dog — I love attention, I follow my person around, and I show a very affectionate and playful side. I also need time to adjust because I haven’t really experienced normal home life before. A house, daily routines, leash walking in neighborhoods, being alone for short periods, and house training — all of these are still new to me. At first, I may feel nervous or make mistakes, but that’s not bad behavior. It’s just me learning how to live in a home. What helps me grow is guidance, not punishment. With a stable routine, regular walks, and positive reinforcement, I can gradually build confidence and feel more secure. I’m smart and curious, and with the right support, I learn step by step at my own pace. In the beginning, it’s really important for me to have a calm environment and not too much overwhelming stimulation. If I’m given space and time to feel safe, I will slowly open my heart. And when I do, I will stay by your side with all my loyalty and love. I may not be the easiest dog at first, but I promise I have a heart that is ready to love deeply once I feel safe. I’m Lucas — a small dog with short legs, a long journey behind me, and a big hope for a forever family who will understand me and walk with me at my own pace. 🐾 Lucas

Story
QUICK FACTS Name: Cheesebam Age: About 6 Months Old Gender: Male (Neutered) Breed: Jack Russell Terrier Mix Color: White and Brown Weight: 10kg / 22lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was found neglected in a rural area, living next door to Nacho, who was also being left without proper care. Thankfully, rescuers found me too and brought me to safety, giving me the chance to experience the care and kindness I had been missing. Now, I’m ready to leave those days behind and begin a brighter new chapter with a loving forever family.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Neutered & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m Cheesebam! I’m a sweet, energetic pup with a whole lot of enthusiasm packed into one little body. I still have that wonderfully chaotic puppy energy—I’m active, curious, and ready to go! I also have many of the classic traits you might expect from a Jack Russell Terrier, so I’d be happiest with a family who genuinely enjoys an active lifestyle and is excited to have a lively young companion by their side. I have a big appetite to match my big energy, and staying active is definitely important for me. I would love to have opportunities to move, explore, play, and put all that youthful energy to good use. If hiking and outdoor adventures are already part of your routine, I could be an especially fun companion to bring along. I’d thrive with a family who looks at my energetic puppy personality and thinks, “That sounds like fun!” I’ll need people who are ready to continue my training and socialization while giving me plenty of appropriate physical activity and engagement. In return, you’ll get a spirited, sweet young companion who has already shown that he can learn and improve with experience—and who would be thrilled to grow up alongside a family that loves being just as active as he is.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I’m naturally friendly and affectionate with people, and I’m comfortable approaching both familiar faces and new people for attention. I enjoy leaning in for affection and am happy to be petted, and treats make it even easier for me to warm up and connect with someone new. I’m also comfortable being gently picked up with an arm supporting me under my belly. · With Dogs: I’m friendly and social with other dogs, and I enjoy approaching both familiar and new dogs to say hello and invite them to play. I generally do well with dogs around my own size. However, if another dog challenges or provokes me, I may respond rather than back away, so careful and gradual introductions are important when I’m meeting a new dog for the first time. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a high energy level – I thrive with plenty of outdoor activity and exercise. Once I’ve had a good opportunity to burn off my energy, I’m able to settle down and relax. I can pull on the leash at times, but overall, I follow my person well and respond to their guidance on walks.   TRAINING & HABITS I don’t guard my food around people or other dogs I’m calm and settled when I’m in a kennel I’m accustomed to doing my business outdoors and generally prefer outdoor potty breaks.   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 still a young pup with more socialization ahead of me, so continued positive experiences and thoughtful introductions will help me keep building on the progress I’ve already made.    CHEESEBAM'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2821421##

Story
QUICK FACTS Name: Churi Age: About 4 Years Old Gender: Male (Neutered) Breed: Terrier Mix Color: Brown, Black and White Weight: 5kg / 11lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was found wandering the cold streets, trying to find my way through unfamiliar days on my own. The world felt big, lonely, and uncertain, and I never knew where I would end up next. Then kind people noticed me and brought me somewhere safe. For the first time in a long while, I could finally rest without fear. Now I’m learning that life can be warm, gentle, and full of care. With each passing day, I’m growing more hopeful about the brighter future waiting ahead.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Neutered & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m Churi. I spent some time surviving on the cold streets before being rescued, so the world can still feel a little overwhelming to me sometimes. Because of that, I can be cautious around people at first, quietly retreating to a corner while I figure things out. But underneath that timid side is a deeply gentle heart that truly wants comfort and connection. Once I begin to feel safe, I slowly lean into affection in my own sweet way. I may spin around nervously when someone tries to pick me up, but the funny part is that once I’m in your arms, I completely relax and melt right over for belly rubs. I also have very serious hobbies: burrowing under blankets, rolling around on the bed, and staying as warm and cozy as possible on heated blankets. With time, you’ll discover a soft, quirky little soul who quietly blossoms with love and trust.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I can be cautious when meeting new people and tend to take a little time to fully relax around unfamiliar faces. Even so, I’m willing to build trust gently—especially if treats are involved. Once that trust is there, my softer side naturally begins to shine through. I’m also comfortable being picked up, which helps me feel secure and cared for. · With Dogs: I tend to feel most comfortable around dogs close to my own size and enjoy their company in a calm, friendly way. Having another dog nearby helps me feel more secure and settled, and I often gain confidence from their presence. When meeting unfamiliar dogs for the first time, I do best with thoughtful introductions, as I may react if another dog is confrontational or overly pushy. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have moderate energy level – I  enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring at a comfortable pace, then settling down quietly once I’ve had my fun. Walks are something I generally do very well with—I stay nicely connected to my person and move calmly on leash. Busy roads and sudden loud noises can still make me uneasy, though, and unexpected movement may startle me enough to want to move away quickly. In calmer environments, I’m able to relax much more easily and enjoy our time together with confidence.   TRAINING & HABITS I’m gentle and trusting with people around my food and feel comfortable sharing space during mealtimes. Around other dogs, I prefer having a little personal space while eating and may quietly communicate that boundary if another dog comes too close. I’ll use my voice from time to time to let you know when I want something I settle calmly and do well in a kennel. I’m adaptable with my routine, comfortably using both indoor pads and outdoor bathroom breaks depending on the situation.   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 Other dogs bring me a lot of comfort, and I absolutely love playing and spending time with dog friends. Having a calm, social dog companion in the home could help me settle in more quickly and feel reassured. I’m still learning how to feel fully secure in the world, so I would do best with a patient family who understands sensitive rescue dogs and can give me time, routine, and gentle reassurance.    CHURI'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2736170##

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

MEET RUJI   Name: Ruji Age: 4 years old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Spitz Mix Colour: Black / Brown / White Weight: 7.9 kg (17.4 lbs) Height: 40 cm (15.7 in) at the shoulder   Her Story   Ruji was rescued from a municipal shelter in December 2022. She then spent time at a private shelter before eventually coming to the AKR Center.   During her medical examination, Ruji was diagnosed with patellar luxation and underwent corrective surgery.   With People   Ruji can be a little shy when meeting someone new, but treats are a quick way to her heart. She will take treats from new people and usually warms up fairly quickly, allowing gentle touch and affection.   Having spent most of her life in a shelter environment since she was young, Ruji simply hasn’t had many opportunities to learn how to confidently approach people and ask for attention. She genuinely likes people and is very affectionate once she feels comfortable — she just tends to express it in a quiet, gentle way.   Once she trusts you, she’ll even roll over and show you her belly. She can also be picked up comfortably with an arm supporting her under the belly.   With Other Dogs   Ruji is friendly and gets along very well with other dogs. She will approach both familiar and unfamiliar dogs to say hello and show interest in playing.   Much like she is with people, Ruji sometimes seems unsure of exactly how to express that interest. She may hover nearby, watch the other dog’s reaction, and gradually approach once she feels that her attention is welcome.   She has lived peacefully among other dogs and has shown no issues or conflicts with them.   With Cats   Ruji’s reaction to cats has not yet been observed, but a cat test can be arranged if needed.   Energy Level   Ruji has a low energy level and is naturally calm and easygoing. She is perfectly happy relaxing quietly and spending much of her day resting.   Walks   Ruji walks comfortably in quieter areas. Busy roads with lots of traffic can still make her nervous, so she is currently working on becoming more comfortable around them.   She also loves using her nose! Rather than walking continuously, she tends to stop frequently to sniff and explore her surroundings. For Ruji, walks are less about covering distance and more about taking her time and experiencing all the interesting smells along the way.   At Home   Ruji has no food guarding issues with either people or other dogs and rarely barks.   She remains calm when placed in a kennel and is currently comfortable using both indoor pee pads and going outside for potty breaks.   The Home Ruji Is Looking For   Ruji is a gentle, quiet girl who has spent much of her life in shelter environments. She may not immediately rush up asking for affection, but underneath that initial shyness is a sweet dog who genuinely enjoys both people and other dogs.   She would do best with someone who understands that confidence doesn’t always happen overnight and is happy to let her approach new people, places, and experiences at her own pace.   With a little patience and a safe, loving home, we think Ruji will have so much more of her personality and affection to show.

Story
Meet Charlotte   • Name: Charlotte • Age: 7–8 years • Sex: Spayed Female • Breed: Terrier Mix • Color: Brown • Weight: 9.5 kg • Height (shoulder): 37 cm   Rescue Story Charlotte was rescued from a municipal shelter in January 2021. After her rescue, she spent about four years in a private shelter. During her time at the shelter, Charlotte was bitten by another dog. Following that experience, she became very sensitive to handling and touch, which made finding an adoptive home more challenging.   In November, Charlotte joined the AKR center, where she began desensitization and touch training. At first, even putting on a collar or harness caused her to scream, but with consistent training and patience, she has made meaningful progress. Now, she may occasionally whine slightly, but her reaction has improved significantly.   She is sensitive to her fur being pulled, so she is currently kept with a short coat for her comfort.   ‍‍‍ Socialization with People Charlotte can be a little shy at first, but she is very food-motivated. With treats and gentle, positive reinforcement, she warms up quickly and becomes comfortable with touch.   She has not been tested with children under 13. While she can be picked up once she trusts you, this may be difficult for strangers at first. As she bonds, she becomes affectionate—even offering her belly for rubs.   Socialization with Dogs Charlotte is friendly and social with other dogs. She approaches both familiar and unfamiliar dogs to greet and invite play.   She can be a bit vocal when playing, which may overwhelm more timid dogs. However, she does very well with dogs that match her energy level, regardless of size.   She would thrive either with a compatible canine companion or as the only dog in the home.   Cats Not yet tested, but can be assessed upon request.   Energy Level Moderate energy. She enjoys outdoor activities but settles down calmly afterward.   Walks Charlotte may look around curiously during walks, but she follows her handler well and does not pull on the leash.   Other Notes • No resource guarding toward people or dogs • No separation anxiety—she stays home alone well • May bark at other dogs, but does not bark excessively at people • Calm and quiet in a kennel • Nervous about getting into the car—may need to be gently carried in (a crate is recommended initially) • Currently uses outdoor potty   Ideal Home Charlotte is looking for a patient and understanding home that will continue her positive reinforcement training and respect her sensitivity to touch. With time, consistency, and kindness, she truly blossoms into a loving and affectionate companion.   If you’re looking for a sweet, resilient dog and are willing to give her the time she needs to fully trust, Charlotte could be your perfect match.
