Story
Meet Angdo A little girl who would rather be close to you than anywhere else.   2 years old | Spayed female Maltese / Shih Tzu mix 3.6 kg (7.9 lb) | 30 cm tall Gray & white   Her rescue story Angdo was rescued alongside Homil from a hoarding home where 56 dogs were living in a small, overcrowded space. Without proper care, the dogs had endured unsanitary conditions, surrounded by waste and a strong smell. AKR rescued five dogs from the home, helping them begin a new chapter with grooming, veterinary care, and a safe place to rest.   Now in foster care, Angdo is showing just how much she loves people.   A friend to everyone Angdo happily approaches familiar faces and strangers alike, rubbing against them and leaning in for affection. She approaches men, too, offering her little head for pets. She is comfortable being picked up with support under her body and will even show her belly to someone she has just met.   Dogs & cats Angdo greets unfamiliar dogs but usually prefers people to canine playmates. She is more comfortable with dogs her size or smaller and can find high-energy dogs overwhelming. A calm companion who respects her space would suit her better than an enthusiastic playmate.   She is currently sharing her foster home with cats.   Little walks, little discoveries Bring out her harness, and Angdo comes running! She slips her head in and heads straight for the door, ready to go.   On walks, she enjoys taking in the world, sometimes pausing for a few seconds to watch passing people or dogs. Fallen leaves are her favourite bathroom spot. With around four walks a day in her foster home, she is now doing her business outdoors rather than inside.   Calm company Angdo has a low energy level and loves resting quietly. She settles calmly in a kennel, and her foster family has yet to hear her bark!   She has shown no signs of separation anxiety in her current foster home and usually sleeps when people are out. However, other dogs and cats are still there with her, so her response to being completely alone in a new home may be different.   Mealtimes Angdo does not guard food from people or other dogs. In fact, she has a small appetite and can be a selective eater. A sprinkle of dried chicken breast over her kibble has helped her eat better, although she sometimes leaves a little behind.   Angdo is looking for a gentle family who will enjoy her quiet company, take her on little sniffing adventures, and give her all the affection she so happily asks for.

Story
QUICK FACTS Name: Cheonjin Age: About 3 Years Old Gender: Male (Neutered) Breed: Maltipoo Color: White Weight: 9kg / 19.8lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from a city shelter after being placed on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, rescuers stepped in and brought me to safety, giving me a second chance and the opportunity to begin again. Now, I’m looking forward to a brighter chapter filled with love, companionship, and a forever family of my own.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Neutered & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m Cheonjin! I’m an irresistibly cute little dog with a wonderfully chunky build, a big face, oversized paws, and surprisingly short legs. Put it all together and I have the kind of proportions that make people stop and smile. I’m currently sporting a shorter haircut, but my coat looks like it will grow in much fuller and fluffier—I’m going to become even more handsome once it does. My personality is every bit as lovable as my appearance. I’m sweet and affectionate with people, friendly with other dogs, and naturally easygoing. I enjoy affection and have plenty of charm, but my overall energy is comfortable and well-balanced. I’m the kind of dog my rescuers describe as genuinely easy to care for: gentle, stable, adaptable, and happy to go along with everyday life. There is one thing about me that definitely isn’t small: my voice! I’m a bit of a talker, and thanks to my broad chest, I can produce a surprisingly impressive bark for my compact body. If the other dogs start barking, I may join the conversation. If I spot something interesting outside, I may announce it. And if there’s something I particularly want, I’m not above using my voice to make my opinion known. The funny part is that I usually have a lot to say—but not necessarily for very long. Rather than barking endlessly, I’m more likely to deliver a decisive little announcement and then move on with my day. I have the big paws, short legs, fluffy potential, affectionate personality, and booming little voice to make me memorable—but underneath all that cuteness is simply a very good-natured, easygoing dog. I’d love a family who appreciates a companion with a little personality and a lot of sweetness, because I’m more than ready to bring both into my forever home.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I’m naturally friendly and affectionate with people, and I’m happy to approach both familiar faces and new people for attention. I enjoy leaning in for affection and am comfortable being petted—even with someone I’ve just met, I may happily roll over and show my belly! I’m also comfortable being gently picked up with an arm supporting me under my belly. I haven’t had experience with children under 13 yet, so my comfort level with younger kids is still unknown. · With Dogs: I’m friendly and social with other dogs, and I enjoy approaching both familiar and new dogs to say hello and invite them to play. I tend to be easygoing in my interactions, and if another dog tries to provoke me, I usually choose to move away and avoid conflict. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate energy level – I enjoy spending time outdoors, but I’m also happy to settle down and relax afterward. I have plenty of walking experience and good leash manners, following my person well without pulling.   TRAINING & HABITS I don’t guard my food around people or other dogs I’m calm and settled when I’m in a kennel. I may bark when I see someone unfamiliar or use a little demand barking when there’s something I want, but with consistent guidance and positive training, I can continue learning calmer ways to communicate and respond to new people. I’m comfortable using both indoor pee pads and going potty outdoors. When I first arrive in a new environment, I may mark as I get familiar with my surroundings, but with time, a consistent routine, and regular potty breaks, I can become more comfortable and settled in my new space.   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 When I first arrive in a new environment, I may mark as I get familiar with my surroundings. With time, a consistent routine, and regular potty breaks, I can become more comfortable and settled in my new space.    CHEONJIN'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2838977##

Story
QUICK FACTS Name: Aisher Age: About 4 Years Old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Maltipoo Color: White and Beige Weight: 2.3kg / 5.1lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from a Poodle breeding facility, where my life had been shaped by circumstances beyond my control. Thankfully, rescuers stepped in and brought me to safety, giving me a second chance to experience kindness, comfort, and the care every dog needs. Now, I’m leaving that chapter behind and looking forward to a brighter future filled with love, companionship, and a forever family to call my own.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Spayed & healthy with no known health issues Patellar evaluation & general health check-up scheduled   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m Aisher! I’m a beautiful little girl with a gentle personality, an adorable face, and a natural talent for making people smile. I’m already an exceptionally pretty girl, but imagine how much more I’ll shine once I have a loving family and a home of my own! I have a calm, easygoing nature, with just the right amount of playful charm to make everyday life a little brighter. When we first meet, I might need about five minutes to get comfortable. But there’s a very simple way to win me over: treats! Offer me something tasty, and I’ll quickly decide you’re someone worth getting to know. Once that initial hesitation disappears, I become quite the little shadow, happily following my favorite person around to see where they’re going and what they’re doing. I also have some adorable ways of asking for attention. Sometimes I’ll turn around and gently present my little backside as a not-so-subtle request for pets! And if you’re sitting down, don’t be surprised if I climb right into your lap and settle in for a comfortable rest. I’m a natural lap dog who enjoys being close to people, but I’m also wonderfully calm and content to simply relax beside them. I’d love a family who appreciates a peaceful, people-oriented companion with a little personality tucked into every adorable gesture. I may need a few minutes and a tasty treat to introduce myself, but after that, you’ll discover a sweet little girl who knows exactly how to make herself at home in your lap. I’m ready for a future filled with cozy afternoons, familiar routines, and the simple happiness of being someone’s beloved little girl.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I can be a little shy when I first meet someone, but tasty treats are a great way to win me over! I’m happy to accept treats, and it usually doesn’t take long before I warm up and feel comfortable being petted. I’m also comfortable being gently picked up with an arm supporting me under my belly. I haven’t had experience with children under 13 yet, so my comfort level with younger kids is still unknown. · With Dogs: I’m comfortable approaching unfamiliar dogs to say hello, but I generally prefer a friendly greeting rather than engaging in play. I don’t show much interest in interacting with other dogs beyond a quick hello and am usually content doing my own thing around them. If another dog tries to provoke me, I typically choose to walk away and avoid conflict rather than engage. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate energy level – I enjoy spending time outdoors, but I’m also happy to settle down and relax afterward. I’m currently working on my leash skills and getting used to going on walks. With continued practice, patience, and consistent guidance, I can gradually become more comfortable and confident on my walks.   TRAINING & HABITS I don’t guard my food around people or other dogs. When there’s something I really want, I may use a little barking to let you know, but with consistent guidance and positive training, I can continue learning calmer ways to communicate. I’m calm and settled when I’m in a kennel I’m comfortable using both indoor pee pads and going potty 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 My rescuers believe I would especially enjoy being the only dog in my future home, where I could receive plenty of individual attention. I seem happiest when I can focus on my people without having to compete for their affection. Because I enjoy following humans so closely, it will also be helpful to establish healthy independence from the beginning, allowing me to feel secure even when my family is busy or spending a little time apart.    AISHER'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   ADOPTION INFORMATION • Adoption Fee: $950.00CAD/USD   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2868568##
