Jindo puppies and dogs in British Columbia

Hi! My name is BITNARI (pronounced "Binnari") and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Jindo mix (brindle coat) Age: approx. 3 years  Gender: Female Weight: 16 lbs (7.3 kg) Current Location: S. KOREA  RESCUE STORY – I was rescued from a veterinary-operated municipal shelter on Ganghwa Island, along with my three puppies. It is believed that me and my puppies entered the shelter shortly after I gave birth. With us all being on a euthanasia list at the shelter, on May 1, 2025, DoReMi Rescue intervened and saved us. Two of my puppies have already been adopted, but me and my son, Achim, are still awaiting our chance at forever homes.   TEMPERAMENT – I am a sweet, calm girl who will be a bit of a "slow burn" to get comfortable and adjust in my forever home. After all I've been through over the last three years, I think that's pretty understandable! I have a calm and thoughtful presence and tend to observe quietly before engaging with new people or environments. I take time to build trust and, once comfortable, become a quiet and steady companion who prefers to stay close to my person. I am a big fan of quietly sharing space with my person; I don't seek constant attention. When gently held by someone I trust, I relax my body and really get comfy. I have been cared for by both male and female caregivers and show no gender preference once trust is established. I respond well to my name and form a steady bond with my caregiver over time. I particularly enjoy resting in warm sunlight and relax noticeably when gently petted by someone I trust! It's always important to think about "breed need" when considering adoption! Please keep in mind that Jindo's often bond hard and fast with one person and may take a bit longer to warm up to others. Jindo's are often quite skittish and can be picky about food (although all things improve with patience and time!).  My rescuers think my ideal home would: be a calm and patient household that allows me time to adjust at my own pace. be a quieter home environment provide a predictable routine for me have humans who spend significant time at home. A home where I would not be left alone for extended hours daily. Although I haven't shown any separation anxiety, I definitely prefer human presence. ENERGY LEVEL – I have a medium-low energy level and prefer calm activities over intense play. I enjoy resting quietly, observing my surroundings, and sharing space peacefully with my person. No doubt, I'll enjoy a daily walk, but after that I'm content to just chillax and observe. GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Yes, but calm, older children would be best for my quiet personality. We don't have videos of my interactions with kids yet, except for me being walked on leash by an older child. If an applicant has children, WCP can request videos of me around children! NOTE: as with ALL dogs, I should always be supervised around children and I need to have my space respected. It's important to remember I am a rescue pup with minimal training, so I may play nip or bounce/jump up on people (including children!) Dogs – Yup! Here are some videos of me with my sheltermates video, video 2. I am calm and observant around other dogs, not much of a player. Although I get along with the other dogs at the shelter, I think I'd prefer to live in a home as a solo dog so I can enjoy a calm life and all the attention to myself! Cats – Not sure, I haven't met any kitties yet. PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around cats/squirrels/rabbits etc., so my adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. TRAINING: Leash skills – Pretty good! My rescuer says I walk calmly on leash but can be timid and hesitant at times, especially if there are loud noises that startle me. Here is a video of me walking on leash, not too shabby right? And here is a video of me being walked by a child and around another doggo (Achim, one of my puppies). I would love an adopter who is willing to continue working with me on my leash skills and go at my pace as I grow in my confidence. A well fitted collar or harness and lots of positive reinforcement will set me up for success! House trained – Work in progress! I know I'm supposed to do my business outside at the shelter but don't always have the 1-on-1 attention needed to do so. Once I find an adopter in the Pacific Northwest, my rescuers will move me to a foster home here in Korea and they will work on housetraining with me so I can have a bit of a foundation before I travel. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home! Crate trained - Yup, I see my crate as my safe space. As with all rescue dogs, I may be hesitant to return to a crate after traveling on a plane in one, but with some positive reinforcement and slow reintroduction, I'm sure I'll remember my crate to be my safe space :) Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.  HEALTH NOTES: I am spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records. I had a dental scaling completed recently (clean teefs!). NOTE: It is not uncommon for rescue dogs to require dental work after they are adopted. West Coast Paws does not cover the costs of dental work and/or vet visits. These costs are the financial responsibility of the adopter.  I tend to eat slowly and self-regulate my food intake. Occasionally, I store leftover food in my bedding — a behavior observed in the shelter. ADOPTION FEE: My adoption fee is $840.00 CAD ($750.00 + GST & PST) including applicable taxes, which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver. ------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Please visit wcpdogrescue.com to read about West Coast Paws Dog Rescue and its adoption process.

Hi! My name is ACHIM and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Jindo mix  Age: approx. 1 years (DOB Feb 2025) Gender: Male Weight: 24 lbs (11 kg) Height: 55 cm (paws to top of my head) Length: 70 cm (head to butt) Current Location: S. KOREA  RESCUE STORY – I was rescued from a veterinary-operated municipal shelter on Ganghwa Island, where I was scheduled for euthanasia together with my mother and three siblings. On May 1, 2025, Doremi Rescue intervened and saved my entire family when I was ~3 months old. While my siblings were adopted earlier, I have remained in care longer, taking additional time to build confidence through continued socialization and training alongside my mother, Bitnari (also available for adoption through WCP!). With patience and consistent care, I have grown into a gentle, emotionally balanced, and stable young dog. I am now ready to begin the next chapter of my life and share my quiet companionship with a loving forever family. TEMPERAMENT – My name means “morning” in Korean — a name that my rescuer says reflects the calm warmth and quiet comfort I bring to those around me. I may appear shy when first meeting new people or entering a new environment, but once I feel safe, my affectionate and trusting nature gently emerges. I accept touch comfortably (video) and will often relax when held (video), enjoying calm and reassuring human interaction (video). I am friendly with both men and women and gentle with children. I am a pretty social lad with other dogs and naturally avoid conflict, showing a patient temperament. I am a dog who really enjoys companionship, once I've had time to get comfy.  It's always important to think about "breed need" when considering adoption! Please keep in mind that Jindo's often bond hard and fast with one person and may take a bit longer to warm up to others. Jindo's are often quite skittish and can be picky about food (although all things improve with patience and time!).  Here is a note from my rescuer in Korea: Since Achim is a gentle and slightly shy dog, he may need a few days/weeks to adjust to a new environment. We believe he would do best with an adopter who is patient and willing to let him settle in at his own pace. A calm home with a predictable routine would likely help him build confidence more quickly. He gets along very well with other dogs, so a home with a calm and stable resident dog could also be a great match. On the other hand, environments with very high activity levels, frequent visitors, or expectations for immediate bonding may feel overwhelming for him during the initial adjustment period. ENERGY LEVEL – Medium. I'm a young dog with a pretty balanced energy level - I will need daily walks and mental exercise, but after that I will be content to snooze and relax! GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Yes, check out my video! I would do best with calm, older children in the home. NOTE: as with ALL dogs, I should always be supervised around children and I need to have my space respected. It's important to remember I am a rescue pup with minimal training, so I may play nip or bounce/jump up on people (including children!) Dogs – Yes! I am gentle and social with other dogs and haven't had any conflicts since being rescued. I enjoy the occasional play wrestle with my pals (video). Seeing as I get along very well with other dogs, a home with a calm and stable resident dog could be a great match and could help me grow my confidence, but I'd also happily live as a solo dog. Cats – My rescuer says I am calm around cats, but we don't have any video of the interaction. If an applicant has cats in the home, WCP can request videos of me with cats.  PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around squirrels/rabbits etc., so my adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. TRAINING: Leash skills – Pretty good, considering I don't have a ton of experience on leash. Here is a video of me walkin on leash. I would love an adopter who is willing to continue working with me on my leash skills. A well fitted collar or harness and lots of positive reinforcement will set me up for success! House trained – Work in progress! I know I'm supposed to do my business outside at the shelter but don't always have the 1-on-1 attention needed to do so. Once I find an adopter in the Pacific Northwest, my rescuers will move me to a foster home here in Korea and they will work on housetraining with me so I can have a bit of a foundation before I travel. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home!

Hello… my name is Yeon-gyeong 🤍 I’m 3 years old, a 15kg Jindo mix girl. There was a time when I was waiting for death. In a very poor shelter, where each day could have been my last, I stood quietly in line. I didn’t know why I was there. I don’t know who left me, where I was born, or what my life was supposed to be. But I know one thing about myself — I did not choose to hate people. Just before the end, I was rescued like a miracle. For the first time, I was given permission to live. A dog who almost wasn’t allowed to keep breathing… is now learning what life can be. --- And even after everything, I really love people. If you look into my eyes, my tail starts to wag first. When you come closer, I gently open my heart. I’m good with other dogs, and once I feel comfortable, I become affectionate and sweet. I’m the kind of dog who will quietly walk over and lean against you, as if I’m asking, “Is it okay for me to be loved too?” Home life may be new to me — a house, daily routines with people, rules and promises. I might not understand everything right away. I might be a little slow sometimes. I might need patience. But that’s not because I’m a bad dog. It’s simply because no one ever gave me the chance to learn. If you teach me with love and wait for me with kindness, I promise I will grow into a steady, loyal, beautiful companion. I want to learn. I want to belong. I want to stay. --- I am not waiting for another shelter, another goodbye, or death. I am waiting for my forever home — my forever family. A life where surviving is no longer the only thing I have. A life where I can truly be “Yeon-gyeong,” called by my name with warmth. Please let the rest of my story be filled with love instead of fear. Will you be the family that calls my name for the rest of my life? 🤍🐾
