Story
My name is Hong, and I may have had a rough start in life, but my heart is still full of love and hope. I once had a home, but I was sadly abandoned on the highway and ended up in a shelter where dogs aren’t always given a second chance. But I was lucky—and now I’m here, dreaming of the day I find a kind, loving family who will never let me go again. Even after everything, I still love people with all my heart. Being with humans is my favorite thing in the world. I get along just fine with other dogs—I’m a friendly, social girl—but honestly, I’d much rather be with you. Whether we’re cuddling, going for a walk, or just sitting side by side, your presence is all I need to feel safe and happy. Because of what I’ve been through, I might feel a little anxious when we’re apart at first. But with your patience, love, and gentle guidance, I know I can learn to trust that you’ll always come back to me. All I want now is a family that will truly love me—a place where I’ll never be left behind again. I promise that in return, I’ll give you all the love, loyalty, and joy I have in my heart. I’m ready to start our new life together. Are you? With love and hope, Hong 🐶💖

Story
ALL ABOUT ME  Name: Kotong Age : Around 4 yrs old Gender: Male Spayed/Neutered: Yes Breed: Maltipoo Colour: Cream Weight: 8kg / 18lbs Microchipped: Yes   MY RESCUE STORY Hi everyone! I’m Kotong, a gentle soul with a big heart and a story that’s taken a turn for the better. I was abandoned on a highway, too scared to move—just standing there, hoping my owner would come back for me. But they never did. I was eventually taken to a city pound, and because of overcrowding, I ended up on the euthanasia list.   Thankfully, some kind rescuers saw me and stepped in just in time. When they brought me in, I was in rough shape—so hungry I had swallowed stones just to survive. But those hard days are behind me now. I’m healthy, safe, and full of love, ready to start fresh. I can’t wait to find a forever family who’ll show me the kindness I’ve been waiting for all along.   MY HEALTH - Fully vaccinated (5-round series complete) - In good health, with no known medical issues   MY PERSONALITY I’m a gentle, kind-hearted, and handsome boy who’s ready to steal your heart the moment we meet. Despite my rough past, I haven’t lost my love for people or my affectionate nature. I thrive on connection—I love being around humans and will happily roll over to show you my belly, just to let you know how much I trust you. Everyone who meets me says I look like a little doll, and they swear I’m even cuter in person than in photos. I open up quickly, and once I do, I’ll be your loyal, loving companion through and through. Whether it’s snuggling up for a nap or just being by your side, I’m here to bring comfort, joy, and lots of love into your life.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS With People: I truly love being around people and enjoy meeting new friends—pets, cuddles, and attention are always welcome! I have a soft spot for gentle kids and will happily take treats from them. I’m also the perfect size for snuggles, and you can easily scoop me up (I won’t mind one bit!). Once I feel safe, I’ll roll over and show you my belly—it’s my way of saying I trust you. I don’t guard my food or toys, and I’m happiest just being close to you, sharing quiet moments and lots of love.   With Dogs: I enjoy saying hello to other dogs, but I like to take my time before diving into play. I usually feel most comfortable with dogs around my size and get along well with them. I tend to be easygoing and peaceful—even if another dog is a bit rude, I’ll quietly walk away rather than cause a fuss. I also don’t guard my food around other dogs, so mealtime is calm and drama-free.   With Cats:  I haven’t met any cats yet, but with slow, gentle introductions and some patience, I’m confident I could learn to live peacefully alongside a feline friend.   ENERGY AND ACTIVITIES I have a moderate energy level—I enjoy spending time outdoors exploring, but I also love to snuggle up and relax indoors.   TRAINING & HABITS I usually follow my handler’s lead well on leash, though I might pull a little when I get excited. I’m a pretty quiet pup and I know how to rest calmly in my kennel. I’m comfortable with both indoor and outdoor potty routines, so I adapt easily.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m looking for a patient, loving family who can help guide and let me become my best self. I’ll thrive in a home with: - A family who can provide me with a calm, structured, and safe environment. - A family who likes to do outdoors activities and spend time together. - A family that can shower me with love and attention.   SPECIAL NOTES I’m truly ready to meet my special person and become a cherished part of your family. I’m an easy-going, friendly boy with an undeniable charm—people say I’m ridiculously adorable! I trust others so easily that the volunteers and staff sometimes worry I might follow just anyone with my whole heart. But there’s more to me than cute looks—I have a gentle, calm soul that makes me the perfect companion for someone who’s looking for both love and loyalty. Could that special someone be you? I can’t wait to start this new chapter together!   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here! Kotong’s Playlist ##2439869##

Story
Hi there! I'm Hanyang 🐾 And I’m so excited to meet you! I’m a small pup with a big heart—and one very special feature that makes me stand out: my adorable underbite! It gives me a one-of-a-kind charm that people say makes me extra cute (I won’t argue with that 💁‍♀️). I love being close to people. One of my favorite places in the whole world is on a warm lap—yours, hopefully! I'm not shy at all, and I’ll shower you with love even if we just met. I’m full of sweet little quirks and affectionate energy that’ll brighten your days. I’m an active, happy girl who enjoys running around and playing. I get along great with people and dogs alike—I'm easygoing and gentle, and I know how to keep things peaceful and friendly. I eat well, I’m healthy, and I have lovely manners when it comes to walks and grooming. I'm also really good at learning! I go potty both outside and on pee pads indoors, and I’m getting better at using the pads every day. I loooove toys—tug-of-war and fetch are some of my favorite games! But above all, I love being near my humans, feeling safe and connected. I’m looking for a forever family who will love me for who I am and share lots of cozy, happy moments together. If you choose me, I promise to fill your life with joy, love, and a whole lot of tail wags. Let’s make each day warmer, brighter, and more special—together 💖 With love and puppy kisses, Hanyang
