Story
**Note: Currently, Soonsoon is in Korea, but will arrive in Vancouver on April 23 upon adoption. For more info about the dog or the adoption applicaiton, please follow the link.BackgroundSoonsoon was rescued from a puppy mill in Gimpo in December 2025. After her rescue, she moved to our partner boarding home where she now lives with other dogs. For the first time in her life, Soonsoon is in a safe place where she is cared for and surrounded by kindness.Personality and SocializationSoonsoon is a sweet and loving girl with a medium energy level. She has the classic gentle Maltese personality. She is smart, affectionate, and friendly, and truly enjoys being close to people. Soonsoon is comfortable meeting new people and happily greets both men and women. She loves attention and enjoys every moment of being loved.With other dogs, Soonsoon is very sweet and friendly. She feels most comfortable around small dogs and enjoys their company. Big dogs can make her a little nervous, but she keeps her gentle and easygoing nature. Soonsoon likes other dogs and has a soft, kind personality. She has no expereinces with cats or young childen.BehaviourSoonsoon rides well in the car and usually rests quietly during the trip. She is calm and cooperative at the vet and handles baths and grooming without any trouble. Although she is new to leash walking, she walks nicely on the leash and enjoys her outings. Soonsoon does not show destructive behaviour. She is comfortable using pee pads indoors and also goes potty outside. She is a patient and gentle girl who is still learning about the world around her.Health and DietSoonsoon is healthy and has received full veterinary care. She is vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, and receives regular parasite prevention. She does have a few missing teeth, but her dental work, including scaling, has been completed, and she is doing well. She currently eats dry kibble twice a day and shows no signs of allergies.Ideal HomeSoonsoon would do best in a calm and loving home where someone is around most of the time. Someone who works from home or a retired person would be a wonderful match for her. With patience and love, Soonsoon will continue to gain confidence and enjoy life more each day. She is a gentle and loyal companion, and whoever welcomes this sweet girl into their home will be very lucky.**Note: Currently, Soonsoon is in Korea, but will arrive in Vancouver on April 23 upon adoption.

Story
✅️Currently located in South Korea✅️ Meet Noah🤍 💙 Noah’s Account: @aki.noa.sushi 1. Health • Neutering/Spaying: Completed • Other: Microchipped; had bladder stone surgery and molar extraction. Fully blind in one eye due to cataracts. Experiences coughing when temperatures drop, requiring steroid medication if coughing occurs. Has partial hearing loss. All teeth except molars have been extracted, so he cannot eat hard treats. 2. Rescue Story • Noah was rescued from a breeding facility alongside Aji and Aki before Adogs officially formed. He was adopted, but after his adopter passed away suddenly in September 2024, Noah returned to Adogs. He is looking for a family to help him overcome his grief and begin a new chapter of life. 3. Personality & Habits • With People: Very affectionate and sweet, loves both strangers and familiar people, and often approaches first asking for pets. • With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs, both familiar and new friends. May show cute jealousy if another dog gets attention. • Separation Anxiety: Calm when left with Aki, though Aki has separation anxiety that affects Noah. If left with another dog or person, he waits quietly. • House Training: Fully pee pad trained (100% accuracy), though he prefers pooping outdoors. He tends to pee near the edge of the pad, so surrounding it with a fence or holder is helpful. • Hygiene/Grooming: Very calm and well-behaved during baths, drying, and brushing. • Walking on Leash: Walks well on a leash without pulling and keeps pace nicely. 4. Special Notes • May bark briefly when a stranger enters the room for the first time. In the evenings, he may bark for 5 minutes normally, or 20–30 minutes if he has extra energy. • Has a strong food drive and eats quickly when excited for meals, so feeding slowly and calmly is recommended.
