Story
🏠 Currently  in a Vancouver foster home Hi, my name is Hugh 🤍 I’m a male Jindo mix, 8 months old, and I weigh about 10kg (22 lb). I’m still a puppy, and the world is a little unfamiliar to me. I was rescued when I was very young and grew up living with other puppies. During my time at a foster home in Korea, I had some difficult experiences with young children who touched me too much and didn’t know when to stop. Because of that, I’ve learned to be cautious about approaching people first. But that’s not the whole story of who I am. At first, I may take a step back and quietly observe. But if you give me time and let us get to know each other, I’ll allow gentle touch, and eventually, I’ll choose to come closer on my own. Once trust is built, I’ll look at my person with soft eyes, walk over quietly, and lean against them for comfort. I’m very social with other dogs. I get along well with dogs my age and feel calm and secure when I’m around them. With unfamiliar people or new environments, I just need a little more time to adjust. During that time, I ask that you respect my pace and watch over me with patience and consistent love. I’m still only 8 months old. Before my past worries become permanent, with enough time and bonding with my person, my current cautiousness can fade away. I have so much potential to grow into a loving, affectionate, and gentle companion. I’m careful because I was hurt, but that also means I’m truly ready to learn what love is. What I need isn’t special training or advanced skills— just someone who can say, “It’s okay. Take your time.” I’m waiting for someone who will walk beside me through that time, until my heart feels safe enough to fully open. My past may have been painful, but my future can be warm— with you 🤍🐾

Story
Hi, my name is Donny 🤍 I’m a female Jindo mix, I weigh about 18kg (40 lb), and I’m 3 years old. From the time I was very young, I lived tied up in front of a factory. I never got to leave that spot. I was just… there. A short leash. A few fixed steps I could take. And a space I had to protect—because no one else would. That factory wasn’t a playground or a place to rest. It was my entire world. A world where surviving was the only goal. I never learned how to meet people freely. I never learned how to make dog friends. My role was simple: guard my space, stay alive. Because of that life, I never had the chance to learn how to socialize with other dogs. When you grow up having to protect your space to survive, “other dogs” don’t feel like friends to play with. They can feel like something you must guard against. Not because you are aggressive— but because no one ever taught you another way. So if I seem uncomfortable around other dogs, please know this isn’t a flaw in my personality. It’s simply the mark of a life where I was never given the chance to learn. That’s why I’m looking for a home where I can be the only dog. A home where, for the first time, I don’t have to share love— but can receive it fully, completely, for the rest of my life. I spent so long tied up, never chosen, never held. Just once, I want to be someone’s everything. With people, I am incredibly gentle. Soft-hearted, affectionate, and full of sweet charm. I love human attention more than anything. Real home life is new to me. Even though I’m three years old, my heart is still like a puppy’s— playful, curious, and easily surprised by the world. If I’m adopted, I’ll need to learn everything from the beginning: potty training, living inside a home, sharing everyday life with people. That’s why I need a family who won’t rush me, who will wait, who will teach me with patience and love. Someone who will walk at my pace. Slowly. Gently. Respectfully. Please— just look at me once. I truly believe that if I meet my family, I will return the love I missed for so long many times over. I’ll be a loyal, devoted, and deeply loving companion— the kind of dog you can walk beside for a lifetime 🤍

Story
Hi, my name is Haengbok 🐾 It means “happiness” in Korean — and while I may not feel fully happy just yet, I know my forever family will help me get there. I’m a 3-year-old Jindo girl with a gentle soul and a loving heart. I can be a little shy when we first meet, but if you show me patience and kindness, I’ll trust you quickly — sometimes in just a few hours. Once I do, I absolutely love cuddles, pets, and being close to my people. I was rescued by the director of Dream Tails when I was just a young pup. Back then, I wasn’t ready to find my forever home — I needed time to grow, learn, and feel safe. With the help of my trainers, I’ve opened my heart and shown everyone what a truly affectionate and loyal dog I am. I’m just waiting for someone who will understand me and love me for who I am. I get along very well with other dogs, but mealtime can make me a bit sensitive. With continued training, consistency, and reassurance, I’ll learn that everything is okay and that I don’t have to worry anymore. I do have some fears, and I might get startled by unexpected things on walks. I can walk on a leash, and with the support of a calm, loving human by my side, I know I can overcome these worries. All I need is someone willing to walk this journey with me. I’m a sweet, gentle, almost-fully-happy girl — waiting for my forever parents to help me complete my story. Will you be the one to make my name come true?

Story
Adopt Chocolat Affectionate • Independent • Resilient   Name: Chocolat Age: 2 years Sex: Spayed Female Breed: Jindo Mix Color: Black / White Weight: 8 kg (17.6 lbs) Height: 38 cm (15 in) at the shoulder   Rescue Story   In April 2025, Chocolat was rescued after being found abandoned inside a sack on the street along with another dog. The case was reported, but the person responsible was never identified.   After her rescue, Chocolat stayed at the WeAct Center before moving to the AKR Center in October, where she has been preparing for adoption ever since. Despite her traumatic past, she has shown incredible resilience and an affectionate spirit.     ‍ With People   Chocolat is friendly and social with both familiar and unfamiliar people. She enjoys approaching people, rubbing her body against them, and especially loves food—offering treats makes bonding with her very easy.   Due to her past trauma, she initially screamed if anyone reached under her belly, possibly from fear or previous mistreatment. With time and care, she has made great progress and can now be gently picked up without panic, though she still doesn’t enjoy being held.   She is very affectionate and often shows her belly to new people or follows them around asking for attention and pets.     With Other Dogs   Chocolat prefers calm, one-on-one friendships rather than group play. If her favorite dog friend isn’t around, she usually relaxes alone—lying on blankets or sunbathing on the grass.   She is not particular about size but prefers dogs that are gentle and non-pushy. She dislikes rude or dominant dogs and may bark at them to tell them to back off. While she may respond if provoked, she has never been in an actual fight—other dogs typically retreat when she sets boundaries.   She generally has low interest in other dogs and enjoys resting alone or playing independently with her toys.     With Cats   No observed reaction to cats yet. Cat testing can be arranged if needed.     Energy Level   Moderate energy overall. Low energy indoors and moderate energy outdoors. She enjoys outdoor activities but settles down calmly afterward.     Walking   Chocolat enjoys walks and gets excited to go out. She may pull slightly on the leash but generally follows her handler well.     Other Notes   • No food guarding toward people • May growl if another dog approaches while she is eating or takes her toys • No separation anxiety • May bark briefly when first placed in a crate; settles well with toys or nose-work activities • Fully outdoor potty trained   Chocolat would do best in a home that respects her independence, understands her boundaries, and appreciates her affectionate yet self-sufficient nature. She is a loyal, loving companion for someone who values a calm and emotionally intelligent dog.   If you’re looking for a dog with depth, resilience, and a gentle soul, Chocolat may be the one for you Apply to adopt or foster: https://adoptmekr.org  Please also visit our Facebook or Instagram.

Story
Meet Joonsoo A 1-year-old Jindo mix boy, about 13 kilos, with a sensitive heart and an incredible capacity for trust and love. When you first meet Joonsoo, he may seem shy and cautious. New environments and unfamiliar people can feel overwhelming at first. However, if you show him that he is safe, he learns to trust surprisingly quickly. Once that trust is built, Joonsoo becomes deeply devoted and attached to his person. Joonsoo has never lived inside a home before, so during the first days he may show a bit of puppy mischief as he adjusts to indoor life. The transition to a new home may be challenging at first, but with consistency, calm guidance, and reassurance, he will settle in. He does very well with other dogs and has a submissive, gentle personality. He avoids conflict and doesn’t like to fight, making him a wonderful companion for a home with friendly dogs. Once he trusts his person, he can be walked outside easily and enjoys staying close. Despite his initial shyness, Joonsoo truly loves to cuddle and finds comfort in quiet affection. He would thrive in a patient, understanding home, ideally a calm environment with someone willing to give him time to feel safe and build confidence. Joonsoo is looking for kindness, patience, and one special person to trust. Give him safety, and he will give you his whole heart.

Story
🏠Currently in a Seattle foster home Hi there, I’m Charlie! 🐾 I’m an 8-month-old boy with a small, adorable frame — I weigh about 5.6kg (just over 12 pounds). I may be little, but I have a big heart full of love, curiosity, and playful energy. 🧡 My Personality I’m a cheerful pup who’s always curious about the world around me. New places and experiences can feel a little overwhelming at first, so I might be a bit shy when I first arrive. But give me a few days, a little patience, and a lot of love — and soon you’ll see my true personality shine through! I warm up quickly and love spending time with people once I feel safe. I’m playful, affectionate, and I enjoy being part of the action. Whether it's following you around the house or snuggling after a bit of playtime, I just want to be close to you. 🐶 I’m Still Learning! Since I’m still a young pup, I’m working on learning all the basics — like potty training and how to walk nicely on a leash. I need a kind and patient family who can guide me with calm encouragement and help me build confidence through positive experiences. With time, consistency, and love, I’ll learn quickly and grow into a well-mannered little gentleman. 💫 What I Need A patient and loving home willing to teach me Positive guidance as I learn about the world A safe space to explore, play, and rest Plenty of cuddles and reassurance A forever family who believes in me 💕 I may be small, but I have so much love to give — and so much life to live. If you’re ready to welcome a sweet, playful, and loyal companion into your heart, I’d love to be the one. Will you be my forever family? With tail wags and puppy kisses, Charlie 🐶✨
