Story
**This dog is being fostered on Vancouver island but can be transported to the mainland. Apply to adopt here: lastminutedogrescue.comThis dog is currently in foster care, and is ready to be adopted! Corbin has come a LONG way since he arrived in Canada last summer and moved into a home for the first time in his life. He was a feral dog in Texas in his previous life, and lived with his sister on the edges of society, always between people, surviving by not being caught until one day he was. Suddenly this regal dog found himself trembling on the cold hard floor of a shelter, on the list to be killed. Its easy to understand why its hard for Corbin to feel safe around anyone but other dogs, but for the past year hes been developing an appreciation for life as a domestic house dog and his true character has slowly been emerging. Corbin will always feel most comfortable in the company of other dogs, and loves most of the usual things dogs love. Hes wild about going on walks, especially in the forest, and will happily spend his day hunting and harassing rodents. He loves sprinting freely across a grassy yard now, something he never had the chance to do in Houston. A frozen marrow bone in his crate delights him for a few hours of luxurious chewing. Watching him revel in life is an absolute joy! He enjoys head and butt scratches, and will sometimes even ask for affection. However, the instinct to stay out of reach runs deep in this handsome dog. He will not come when called; he will at best follow other dogs who do, but even then will stay at distance from accompanying humans. He isnt at all aggressive in the least, just very shy and wary. Every day he grows more confident, so much so that now hes ready to take on any bicycles and pickup trucks that have the nerve to pass him on the street.Corbins best life includes a large fenced-in yard and at least one, preferably more, other friendly dogs. Hes pretty curious about most things, even if hes a bit scared, so hed probably do ok in a either suburban or rural environment. A busy city would be too much for someone whos afraid of people getting close enough to touch him. Hes not a dog to adopt if youre looking for someone to play fetch with. Corbins the boy for someone whos content to make a deserving dogs dreams come true, where he can lounge peacefully in the sunshine, chase chippies and explore the neighbourhood with his pack mates.Corbin was born with bad hip dysplasia on one side, and doesnt like to use his rear right leg. He still gets around fine on 3 legs and can run faster than you! He does appreciate a daily pain reliever like gabapentin.Apply to adopt this animal at lastminutedogrescue.comName: CorbinWeight: ~55 poundsAge: ~7 yearsGender: MaleBreed: Lab mixColour: BlackMedical (past and present) & HW Status: HW negative; requires pain management for severe hip dysplasia Fixed: YesGood with adults: ShyGood with kids: UnknownGood with dogs: YesGood with cats: UnknownHouse trained: Working on it!

Story
Socks | 32 lbs | 2 years old | dog-friendly | GTA Socks is a sweetheart from the tips of her ears to the toes of her bright, white socks! This girl is very gentle and craves safety and connection. Having grown up in a shelter she is a little bit shy as she adjusts to a brand new life, but since coming into our care and moving into a foster home, she has shown amazing progress. She has bonded easily with her foster mom, and is starting to discover the joys of playing, morning snuggles in bed, and leash walks. She's currently living with a senior dog and the two of them do very well together. Socks' foster mom describes her as "bouncy!" As she settles in, she loves to bound over to greet people, run and play. Socks is also a chiller and doesn't require a ton of exercise; she likes going out for walks or spending time in the yard--even in snow!--but she's not high energy and is happy to cuddle on the couch with her fam. She is fully housetrained, and excellent on leash (though still getting used to loud noises). Socks' dream home would be quiet, and ideally include a calm dog sibling. She doesn't like a lot of unpredictability or noise so young children and higher energy or more assertive dogs are not her preference. Socks is so gentle and has a low prey drive. This girl is sweet, playful, and tender. She has so much love to give and deserves so much in return!

Story
Meet Samdol Age: 1 year Sex: Neutered Male Breed: Labrador Retriever / Jindo Mix Color: Beige Weight: 23.4 kg (51.5 lbs) Height: 53 cm (shoulder height)   Rescue Story Samdol was previously kept tied up as a farm guard dog. After being surrendered by his former owner, he is now ready for a fresh start with a loving family and a life of freedom.   ‍‍‍ Social with People Samdol is incredibly affectionate and friendly. He approaches not only familiar people but also strangers with ease, rubbing against them and happily accepting pets.   He loves both men and women and is gentle with children under 13. He allows full handling — you can even lift him by placing your arms under his belly. Once he feels comfortable, he’ll roll over and show his belly for rubs.   Social with Other Dogs Samdol is friendly and social with other dogs, including new ones. He enjoys greeting them and inviting them to play, especially dogs of similar size.   He handles higher-energy dogs well. If another dog makes him uncomfortable, he may give a quick “woof!” to set a boundary, but with human guidance he redirects easily and walks away.   Cats He previously lived in an environment with four cats and did not show strong reactions indoors. However, during walks he has shown some chasing instinct toward cats. Cat testing can be arranged if needed.   Energy Level Moderate energy. Samdol enjoys outdoor activities and playtime , but once exercise is done, he settles nicely and rests calmly at home.   Walks He has been walked since puppyhood and is generally comfortable on leash. Because he spent much of his life tied and hasn’t had frequent walks at the center, he can get very excited at the start of walks and may pull ahead. With consistent, structured walks in a home environment, this is expected to improve beautifully.   Additional Notes No food guarding toward people or dogs No separation anxiety — comfortable being alone Rarely barks Calm and well-behaved in a kennel Primarily outdoor potty trained   Samdol is a sweet, affectionate boy who has so much love to give. After spending much of his early life tied up, he deserves a family who will give him stability, guidance, and warmth.   If you’re looking for a loyal, friendly companion with a balanced energy level, Samdol may be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Honey Age: 3 years Sex: Spayed Female Breed: Labrador Retriever Color: Beige Weight: 24.4 kg (53.8 lbs) Height: 54 cm (shoulder height)   Rescue Story In September 2025, Honey was found wandering around an apartment complex. After a report to the security office, she was brought into a city shelter. Now, she’s ready to leave her past behind and find a forever home.   ‍‍‍ Social with People Honey is incredibly affectionate and social. She approaches not only familiar people but also strangers, gently leaning in for pets and attention.   She loves both men and women and does well with children under 13. She is comfortable being handled — you can even lift her with your arms under her belly — and once she bonds, she happily rolls over for belly rubs.   Her social skills are truly wonderful — she loves people!   Social with Other Dogs Honey is friendly and outgoing with other dogs, including new ones. She enjoys greeting and inviting them to play, especially dogs her size or smaller.   She is a very sweet girl — even when another dog adores her a little too much and gets playful or clingy, she tolerates it patiently. Currently, she and Samdol have matching energy levels and instantly start wrestling and playing when they make eye contact.   Even if another dog tries to provoke her, she tends to avoid conflict and walk away.   Cats She has not been introduced to cats yet, but cat testing can be arranged.   Energy Level Moderate energy. Honey enjoys outdoor activities and playtime but settles nicely and relaxes calmly afterward.   Walks She appears to have good walking experience and follows people well. Occasionally, if she wants to go in a certain direction, she may pull a little stubbornly — but she is very manageable and responds well to guidance.   Additional Notes No food guarding toward people or dogs No separation anxiety, though she loves being close to people May bark briefly when first separated but settles quickly Mild demand barking at times Calm in kennel Primarily outdoor potty   Honey is a loving, social, and gentle Labrador who simply wants to be close to her people.   If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who enjoys both playtime and cozy downtime, Honey may be the perfect addition to your family.

Name: Cinnamon Age: 3 years Sex: Spayed Female Breed: Lab Jindo Mix Color: Cream Weight: 16kg Height: 49cm (shoulder)   Rescue Story: Cinnamon was found wandering around a village and was taken to a city shelter. She was rescued in early December and is now waiting for her forever home   ‍‍ With People   Cinnamon is very friendly and affectionate. She happily approaches both familiar and new people, rubs against them, and enjoys being touched. She loves both men and women and does well with children under 13.   She can be picked up by placing an arm under her belly, and she often shows her belly even to people she just met — she’s truly a sweetheart who loves attention and affection   With Other Dogs   Cinnamon is very social and loves meeting new dog friends. She enjoys playing and interacting with other dogs and is especially friendly with dogs of similar size. She also plays well with smaller dogs, but because she keeps the same energy level, some smaller dogs may find her a bit overwhelming.   She does well even with high-energy dogs and will communicate if she needs space. Since she enjoys both dogs and people, she would do well in a home with another friendly dog or as the only dog in the home   With Cats   Her reaction to cats has not been observed yet, but cat testing is possible.   Energy Level   Moderate energy. Cinnamon enjoys relaxing, but when she’s at the playground or playing with friends, she becomes active and playful.   Walking   Cinnamon does not have much walking experience yet, so she will need a bit more practice walking calmly with her person. When she feels scared, she may lower her body or look unsure, but she loves sniffing and exploring, so she is expected to improve quickly with gentle guidance.   Other Notes   Cinnamon does not guard food with people or other dogs, but she does have a good appetite, so feeding separately at first is recommended. She does not have separation anxiety, but she doesn’t enjoy being confined, so crate training and separation training may require some adjustment time in the beginning. She is currently potty trained for outdoor bathroom only. Apply to adopt or foster: https://adoptmekr.org Please also visit our Facebook and Instagram!

Story
Hello, I’m Sebastian 🐾 A 3-year-old Labrador–Doberman mix, about 27 kilos of love, elegance, and joy. I’ve got the long, lean body of a Doberman and the warm, food-loving heart of a Labrador — truly the best of both worlds. My journey hasn’t always been easy. I spent too long in a city shelter and eventually found myself on the euthanasia list. Just in time, Dream Tails stepped in and gave me a second chance, bringing me to their training center — and now I’m ready for the next chapter of my life. I get along wonderfully with other dogs and communicate beautifully with them, showing my feelings clearly and setting boundaries in a calm, respectful way. I walk nicely on leash and don’t pull, making our walks something we can both enjoy. I’m often told I’m very handsome — but what truly sets me apart is my heart. I’m overflowing with love, and every bit of attention makes my heart feel like it might burst. I can’t wait to experience the comfort of a warm home and to finally feel safe with my forever family. Because I haven’t lived in a home before, I might show a little puppy mischief at first as I adjust. With patience, guidance, and understanding, I’ll settle in and thrive — I promise my love will make it all worth it. All I’m dreaming of is a family who will give me time, kindness, and cuddles… especially cozy moments on the sofa with my mommy and daddy. 🫶🏻 Could you be my forever family?

Story
Tala, a 5 month old Labrador mix came into rescue from animal services Manitoulin Island.  She was in rough shape when she arrived, underweight and "wormy".  Now that she has had proper vetting, medication and nutrition these issues are resolving and Tala is feeling bright eyed, bushy tailed, and ready for her next adventure.  She is adjusting well to family life, and blossoming into a rambunctious, healthy puppy who is a complete social butterfly with people and other dogs.  Living inside a house now, Tala is learning the ropes and excelling at it, being not just sweet and social, but quick to learn also.  Housetraining is going really well and she is learning to ring a bell to go outside.  She is getting used to going into a crate, and continued support with this will be required to help her feel safe and reduce some initial anxiety. Since everything about her environment is new, continued positive reinforcement and enrichment will help build the confidence she needs to excel at all things puppy and grow into the big girl she is sure to become!  She is going to be a big girl with a big heart to match!  January 31, 2026, 1:39 pm

Her favourite pastime is curling up into her signature donut shape and leaning into you while you watch tv, have a nap, or lay in the sun.

CURRENTLY IN VICTORIA, BC!!! Meet Denny — The Sweetest Golden Retriever Looking for His Forever Family!   Name: Denny Age: 4 years Sex: Neutered Male Breed: Golden Retriever Color: Gold Weight: 31 kg Height: 66 cm (shoulder height)   Rescue Story Denny was rescued in February 2025 after being placed on the euthanasia list at a city shelter. He stayed at a private shelter for several months and moved to his foster home in June. Since then, he has blossomed into the most affectionate, people-loving Golden boy.   ‍‍‍ Socialization with People Denny is an incredibly affectionate dog who loves everyone — familiar people and strangers alike. • He leans in for pets, rubs against people, and loves belly rubs. • He is excellent with children under 13 and is comfortable being lifted or handled gently. • Even with new people, he often rolls over to show his belly. • He enjoys being near people during downtime, though he prefers sleeping alone. • He can be very enthusiastic — sometimes running in for hugs or kisses, which can surprise those not used to big friendly dogs! • No issues with baths, paw cleaning, or handling. He tolerates teeth brushing but isn’t a fan.   Socialization with Dogs Denny is friendly and polite with other dogs. • He approaches both familiar and unfamiliar dogs to greet and play. • He matches well with medium to large dogs and enjoys playful interactions.   With Cats • He watches cats with curiosity outdoors, but when guided by his handler, he follows direction well and continues walking. (He may be suitable for a cat home with proper introductions.)   Energy Level • At first glance he seems high-energy, but his stamina is moderate. • After 3–4 hours of outdoor activity, he often falls asleep as soon as he gets in the car. • During play with dog friends, he starts energetic but will bark to set boundaries when he becomes tired or overstimulated.   ‍ Walks & Outdoor Behavior Denny is a joy to walk. • He has plenty of leash experience and doesn’t pull. • He loves sniffing and will naturally slow down or stop to explore scents. • He becomes excited when he sees the leash — may jump or mouth the leash — so calming him before leaving the house is important. • He loves balls and toys; he can even find hidden balls in grass and often brings home any he discovers during walks!   Other Behaviors • No resource guarding toward people or dogs. • Rarely barks. • Calm in a crate and knows how to get in/out of the car by himself. • Sometimes refuses to get in the car after walks because he wants to stay outside longer. • Mostly potty-trained outdoors. • If he has stomach discomfort early in the morning, he will wake his person up to go outside — letting him out promptly helps prevent indoor accidents. • Occasionally gets soft stool after eating too many treats.   Denny Is Looking For… A family who loves Golden Retrievers’ affectionate, goofy, people-loving personality. Someone who enjoys outdoor activities, understands his excitement around walks, and can provide structure, companionship, and lots of love.   If you think Denny could be the perfect match for you, please submit an adoption application!

Story
 QUICK FACTS  Name: Connie Age: 7 years old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Golden Retriever Color: Brown Weight: 23kg / 50.7lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed    MY RESCUE STORY  My previous owner went through difficult circumstances and, sadly, could no longer care for me. During that time, I wasn’t given the love and attention I deserved. Thankfully, kind-hearted people stepped in and rescued me just in time. Now I’m safe, cared for, and ready for a fresh start. I’m looking for a forever family who will cherish me, love me unconditionally, and walk by my side for the rest of my life. I promise to give my whole heart in return.    MY HEALTH  • All vaccinations up-to-date • Spayed & healthy with no known health issues    MY PERSONALITY  I’m a super friendly girl who absolutely thrives on human attention and loves soaking up pets and affection! Even though I had a sad start and was neglected due to unfortunate circumstances, I didn’t let that dim my loving spirit. I’m incredibly trusting of people and truly adore being around my humans. I love playing with toys, get along wonderfully with my dog friends, and bring that classic happy-go-lucky Golden Retriever energy wherever I go. I’m all heart, sunshine, and tail wags!    MY SOCIAL SKILLS  · With People: I’m incredibly friendly with people and absolutely adore receiving affection and pets! I’ll happily trot right up to you for cuddles, and once I feel comfortable, I love showing my belly for extra rubs. I allow myself to be picked up and truly enjoy being held close. One of my favorite things in the world is sleeping beside you in bed—I just love being near my person! I can get a little sad when you’re out of sight because I bond very deeply with my family. When I love, I love with my whole heart. · With Dogs: I’m great with my dog friends too! I enjoy greeting new dogs, but I don’t rush straight into play—I like to take my time and do my own thing first. I get along well with my buddies at the care facility and tend to feel most comfortable around smaller dogs. I’m a calm, easygoing girl who prefers peaceful friendships over rough-and-tumble chaos.  · With Cats: My full reaction to cats is still unknown, but during walks I simply look at them with a bit of curiosity and then quickly refocus on my handler. I don’t fixate and happily continue on my way. A proper cat test can be arranged upon request to make sure it’s the perfect match for everyone.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY  I have a lovely moderate energy level — I enjoy playing with my toys, soaking up the sunshine, and spending time outdoors exploring. After I’ve had my fun and walk time, I’m more than happy to curl up indoors for cozy snuggles and relaxation.    TRAINING & HABITS  I generally walk very well on leash and follow my handler’s lead nicely. At the start of a walk, I might pull a little because I’m just so excited (who doesn’t love walk time?!), but I settle quickly and show great leash manners. Volunteers and staff often compliment what a good, bubbly girl I am. I love my toys and happily play without resource guarding. Because I bond deeply with my people, I may develop some separation anxiety once I’ve fully attached to my forever family. With continued guidance, structure, and reassurance, I’ll learn to feel confident and trust that you’ll always come back for me. I’m generally quiet but may bark a little when I want attention. I rest calmly in my kennel and potty both indoors (using a pee pad) and outdoors.     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’ve been through some changes in my life, but I haven’t let that take away my loving heart. I bond very deeply with my people and truly thrive on human companionship — being close to you makes me feel safe and happy. Because of this, I may need a little patience and reassurance as I adjust to my forever home, especially when learning that you’ll always come back for me. I’m a loyal, affectionate girl who just wants to love and be loved in return. With stability, structure, and lots of cuddles, I’ll blossom into the most devoted companion you could ask for.   Connie's Youtube Playlist    Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org  For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2666594##

Story
 Quick Facts  Name: Ilbok Age: 2 years old (Born January 2023) Gender: Male Neutered/Sprayed: Yes Breed: Golden Retriever Mix Color: Beige Current Weight: 18 kg My Personality Hey there! I'm Ilbok, a fun-loving and affectionate boy who can't wait to find a family to share all my love with. I may be a little cautious at first, but once I trust you, I’ll show you just how sweet and friendly I can be! I adore people and am always excited to say hello. I’ll happily approach new faces and let you give me all the attention I crave. If you call me, I'll come running—I'm all about making connections! Although I’m friendly with humans, I do take a little time to warm up to other dogs. I can be a bit guarded initially, especially if another dog gets too close too fast, so it’s important to give me the space I need when meeting new pups. I’m just being cautious, but once I get to know you, I’m a great companion. I’ve got a heart full of potential and am ready to build friendships with the right dog pals. On My Walks Oh, how I love my walks! There’s nothing better than getting outside, feeling the breeze, and sniffing all the new scents in the world. I do like to pull on the leash a bit because I’m just so excited to explore! I’ll stop and sniff along the way, and if I see something exciting, I’ll want to check it out. But don’t worry, with a little training, I’ll get better at walking with you calmly by my side. I love the outdoors, and I promise we’ll have lots of fun together—whether it’s a stroll or a more energetic walk. Life At Home When I’m home, I’m the best companion you could ask for. I’m a curious boy who loves being around people, so I’ll probably follow you around, always wanting to know what’s going on. I’m very affectionate and enjoy being petted and loved. I’m also quite adaptable. I do my business indoor and outdoor. I might mark in new enviroment. I’m pretty well-behaved, and while I may show some excitement before meals or walks, I promise it’s just because I’m eager to have a good time with you. I don’t guard my food around people but with other dogs I am still learning. I’m still working on some manners, but I’m a fast learner and I know I’ll do great in a home that gives me the right guidance. My Ideal Home I’m looking for a loving, active family who will appreciate my playful energy and my affectionate nature. Here’s what I’d love in my forever home: Active Adventures: I’d love to be part of a family who enjoys outdoor activities. Whether it’s a long walk, a fun hike, or some playtime in the yard, I’m ready for action! Patience & Guidance: I’m still growing and learning, and I’d thrive in a home where I can continue developing my skills and building my confidence with positive reinforcement. Companionship: I’m social and love being around people, so I’d prefer a home where I’m not left alone for long periods. I thrive when I’m part of the family. Dog-Free: I’d do best as the only dog in the home. Last Message If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will always be excited to share his love and enjoy the world with you, I might be your perfect match! I can’t wait to meet you and start our next adventure together.   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here!Ilbok's YouTube Playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwkBxxdtpKRWMXKSXQmWH07&si=PpQFB7u8W9at7g-e ##2458103##
