Jindo puppies and dogs in British Columbia

My name is GORDIE (GongDeok), and here is a little information about me: Breed: Jindo MixAge: Approximately 4.5 years oldGender: MaleWeight: 5.2 kg / 11.5 lbsColor: Cream and light tanHighlight(s): Affectionate, friendly, people-loving, good leash manners, crate trained, and outdoor potty trained Hello! I'm Gordie, a small and adorable Jindo Mix boy with a big heart! My Korean name, Gongdeok, means the virtue gained through good deeds. Gordie was chosen because it sounds similar to my Korean name. I absolutely love people and enjoy every bit of affection I receive. One of my favorite things is sleeping on the bed with my person, especially curled up comfortably at their feet. I may be small, but I have so much love to give! I was rescued from a municipal animal shelter in Gongju, South Korea, shortly before I was scheduled for euthanasia. No one knows exactly how I ended up at the shelter. Because I am so comfortable around people and naturally seek their company, my rescuers wonder whether I once had a loving home. Perhaps I became lost, or perhaps something else happened. My past remains a mystery. What matters now is that I was given a second chance. Since arriving at DoReMi Rescue, I have continued to show just how much I love being around people. Now I am hoping to find a forever family where I will always be loved, safe, and cherished. I am affectionate, cheerful, friendly, and very people-oriented. I love meeting people and happily welcome attention and gentle affection. I am comfortable around both women and men. I especially enjoy being close to my person, whether we are relaxing together or settling down for the night. I generally get along with other dogs, although I can be a little cautious around much larger dogs. Because I am so small, I sometimes feel more comfortable keeping my distance. I also have a little personality when it comes to my own space! If an unfamiliar dog enters my living area, I may become a little protective, almost as if I am saying, "Excuse me, this is my house!" I do not normally rush toward other dogs looking for a fight. I simply like having my personal space respected. I am a sweet little boy who loves people and has a bit of character, too! My ideal home would be with a loving family who enjoys spending time with their dog and giving plenty of affection. I would be happiest as the only dog, receiving all the love and attention from my family. However, I could also live with a calm, friendly dog of a similar size who respects my space. A home with a securely fenced yard would be wonderful, as I prefer going potty outdoors. A yard is not essential, though. If my family can provide around three regular walks and outdoor potty breaks each day, I could also do well without one. Above all, I am looking for a family who will treat me as a cherished companion and enjoy sharing everyday life with me. I get along with: Dogs: Yes. I generally get along with other dogs. I am most comfortable around calm dogs of a similar size. Cats: Unknown. I have not been tested with cats yet. Kids: Unknown. I have not been formally tested with children yet. I am crate trained and comfortable with my daily routines. I enjoy being close to people and am accustomed to spending time indoors with my caregivers. Please continue helping me maintain a consistent routine in my new home. Leash skills: Yes. I walk well on leash and enjoy regular walks with my person. Please continue helping me maintain safe and comfortable walking habits. House trained: Yes. I am outdoor potty trained and prefer going potty outside. I may have occasional accidents while adjusting to a new home, so please help me maintain a consistent potty routine. I recently had a veterinary health examination, including full-body X-rays, and my veterinarian reported that I am in good overall health. All conditions included in my recent PCR screening tested negative. No significant health concerns were reported during my examination. My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.   Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue. Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems. Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you. Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website. The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs. Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live. ##2891239##

Meet Bonnie A gentle little soul who blossoms with patience and love.   Age: 5 years Sex: Spayed female Breed: Mixed Colour: Cream Weight: 9.3 kg / 20.5 lbs Shoulder height: 32 cm / 12.6 inches   Her rescue story Bonnie was rescued from a municipal shelter in March 2025 when euthanasia was taking place. Her shy nature made it harder for her to find a home, and she joined the AKR centre in December. Since then, she has been gently practising becoming comfortable with touch and handling.   With people Bonnie can be a little shy at first, but she will accept treats and usually allows gentle petting right away. Being picked up takes a little more trust. She does not struggle or nip when lifted, and with practice, she no longer has nervous potty accidents during handling. In a new home, however, she may feel unsure again, so a slow, gentle approach will help her feel safe.   Once Bonnie opens her heart, she loves staying close to her person—and often rolls over to show her belly! She could be a lovely companion for someone living alone. A quiet adult home or a home with calm, respectful teenagers would suit her best, as sudden movements and squeals from children under 13 may frighten her.   With other dogs Bonnie will approach unfamiliar dogs to say hello, but she usually saves playtime for friends she knows well. She tends to feel most comfortable with dogs her size or smaller. If another dog provokes her, she generally chooses to walk away.   With cats On walks, Bonnie stays focused on her person even when she sees cats. She has not yet had a formal cat test, but one can be arranged.   Energy & walks Bonnie has a low energy level and enjoys spending much of her day resting calmly. Occasionally, she celebrates a happy moment with a little burst of zoomies—usually over in less than a minute!   She enjoys sniffing and exploring in quiet areas. Busy, noisy places can make it harder for her to relax. Passing children and joggers generally do not bother her, but cars and motorcycles can frighten her, and she may cling to her person for reassurance.   Life at home • She has shown no food guarding around people or other dogs. • She rarely barks. • She settles quietly when placed in a kennel. • Getting into a car worries her, so she currently needs to be lifted in. • She currently does most of her pottying outdoors, though she may need patience and guidance in a new home.   Bonnie’s ideal home A peaceful home, a gentle routine, and someone who will let trust grow at her pace. Once she feels safe, Bonnie’s favourite place is close to the person she loves.   Could you be Bonnie’s person?

Meet Jinsu 💙 Adogs News Account: @_adogs_ 1. Health Condition * Neutered. * Microchipped, heartworm negative, and dental scaling done. 2. Rescue Story * Jinsu had been living on a short leash at the Wanju City Shelter for more than two years. As the shelter had already been full of abandoned dogs, Jinsu was put on the euthanasia list. Once learning that his euthanasia was imminent, Adogs rushed to rescue him. 3. Basic Information * With People: Is really sociable without being aggressive nor shy towards people. Is so friendly with people that he loves being touched by them. May feel uncomfortable if someone suddenly grabs the back of his neck, though. * With Other Dogs: At first, struggled to get along with other dogs, but through consistent training, is now able to live with them. May growl when meeting new dogs for the first time, but with slow introductions using treats, he learns to feel relaxed around them over time. However, he prefers his alone time and can feel uncomfortable—sometimes growling or snapping—if large dogs of similar size approach him too assertively. Also loves playing with balls and can be protective of her toy around other dogs. * With Cats: When seeing a cat during walks, he tries to run towards it. Caution is required. * Separation Anxiety: Not confirmed yet because he lives in a group setting at our center. Will need basic training in a home environment. * Potty Training: Does pottying outdoors at our center. Will need basic training in a home environment. * Hygiene: Shows little resistance to grooming by familiar handlers. Stays calm during baths and brushing. * Walks: Is good at walking. Can respond to his name to some extent during walks. When seeing a cat during walks, he pulls on the leash to get closer to them, but it’s at a manageable level. Having completed muzzle training, it is recommended that he wear a muzzle during walks to manage his reactions toward other dogs. * Car Sickness: Rides well in a car without car sickness. * Biting: In the early days of training, he would get mouthy when it hurt or felt uncomfortable while removing matted fur. But recently, there hasn't been any mouthiness at all. Once he becomes familiar with someone, he accepts even uncomfortable touching calmly from them. If similarly-sized dogs approach first and repeatedly bother him, he growls and tries to bite, so caution is needed. * Barking: Has never barked or whined. However, training may still be needed when she moves into a new home environment. * Overall Temperament: Is a bright, energetic, and affectionate sweetheart! Rather than playing with other dogs, he prefers running and walking with his human, and he loves ball games, treats, and affection. Even when resting in a corner around other dogs, he will happily run over as soon as she spots a person. Since he does not enjoy other dogs approaching him assertively, he would do best as the only dog in a home. Used to be easily startled by loud noises or sudden movements, but after desensitization training, he has improved significantly!

Meet Danso! Breed: Jindo mixAge: 2 yearsGender: Female    Weight: 31 lb  Height: 24 inchesHighlight(s): Friendly, gentle and affectionate Hi, I’m Danso! I arrived at a city pound in May 2024 with my mom and three siblings. I was just a tiny puppy back then, and believe it or not, I’ve spent the past two and a half years waiting for someone to give me a chance. I’ve never experienced life in a home or had a foster family, and I’m really hoping my forever family is out there! I’m a sweet, gentle girl who can be a little shy at first. Give me some patience, gentle attention, and tasty treats, and I’ll slowly warm up. Once I trust you, I’ll happily show you my belly and reveal my more affectionate side! I’m also very gentle with children. Just one little thing: I’m not comfortable being picked up, so I’d appreciate having all four paws on the ground. I have moderate energy and enjoy outdoor adventures followed by relaxing at home. I’m still learning about the big, busy world, and passing cars and trucks can make me nervous. Quiet neighborhood walks are much more my style for now. I’m also a strong girl on leash, so I’ll need some patient guidance as I work on my walking manners. I get along well with other dogs, especially those around my size or smaller. I’m happy to say hello and share my space, but I generally prefer human company over playing with other dogs. I may notice cats during walks, but I respond well when my handler redirects me. I'm crate-trained, about 90% housetrained, rarely bark, and have no resource-guarding issues, escape tendencies, or signs of separation anxiety. After spending so much of my life waiting, I'm ready to discover what having a family feels like. I don't need a perfect home or grand adventures—just someone willing to give me time, help me build confidence, and show me that I'm finally home. Could you be my first foster or forever family? I get along with:Dogs: Yes Cats: UnsureKids: Yes Energy level: Moderate - enjoys outdoor activities and like to rest/calm at home after walks. Fears: Non observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Leash skills: I tend to pull strongly on the leash, so please be patient with me and continue working on my leash manners.House trained: 90% house trained. Please be paitient and prepare to assist me learn where to go in my new home. Health notes: I have been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.

Note: Currently, Maji is in Korea, but will be arriving in Vancouver once adopted.For more info about the dog or the adoption application, please click here.Adopt Maji, a Gentle Young Girl Who Keeps Life SimpleMaji is just over a year old, but she has a quiet, steady way about her. She is gentle, easygoing, and undemanding.Quick FactsBreed: Jindo medium mix (13.5 kg) · Sex: Female · Born: July 2025 · Location: Korea · Traits: Calm, gentle, affectionate · Health: Spayed, vaccinatedBackgroundMaji was rescued in the summer of 2026 from a dog meat farm in Icheon, Korea. Since her rescue she has been living at a boarding house, where she has settled in easily and become one of the quieter, steadier dogs in the group.PersonalityMaji is calm and well-mannered, with a soft affectionate streak that comes out once she's near her people. She has no shyness with strangers and doesn't mind whether she's meeting a man or a woman. Her energy is moderate, so she's happy to go out and explore and equally happy to settle down afterward. Her caregivers describe her as gentle and easy, the kind of dog who quietly gets on with things.CompatibilityMaji is comfortable with both men and women and greets new people without hesitation. She has limited experience with young children, so if she is adopted by a family with kids, parents should always supervise their interactions to keep everyone safe and comfortable. It is important that parents take full responsibility for teaching both their children and their dog how to interact appropriately, and helping children understand a dog's boundaries and body language is especially important.She gets along well with other dogs, though she has clear preferences. Maji enjoys the company of calm, easygoing dogs and would rather not be crowded by pushy playmates who get right in her face. A polite, mellow canine friend would suit her well.Maji hasn't lived with cats before, so we can't say for certain how she'd do. Knowing her calm, gentle nature, though, we think it's possible with a slow, gradual introduction, plenty of patience, and enough space for each of them to have their own retreat while they get used to one another.Behaviours & TrainingMaji takes daily life in stride. She rides well in the car, handles vet visits without fuss, and is cooperative at bath time. She enjoys her walks and has plenty of walking experience. She prefers to relieve herself outdoors, has no notable barking, and isn't a chewer. Her caregivers haven't noticed any signs of separation anxiety.Health & DietMaji is spayed, dewormed, micorchipped and up to date on her vaccinations. She has had no other surgeries or treatments, and no known allergies. She has passed her veterinary screening and is healthy and ready for a forever home.She eats kibble twice a day and has not shown any food allergies or sensitivities so far.Ideal HomeMaji would do well in a calm household where she can settle at her own pace. She isn't a demanding dog by nature, but like any rescue arriving in a new environment, she will need time to adjust and get comfortable. A family who can offer patience, gentle structure, and clear boundaries while she finds her footing is a must. A home that enjoys daily walks will keep her happy, and an existing dog with a similarly relaxed temperament would be a lovely match for her.After the start she had in life, Maji is ready for a family who will give her the quiet, steady love she's been waiting for.
