Story
Meet Homil!   Age: 6 years Sex: Neutered male Breed: Maltese Colour: Cream Weight: 6.2 kg Height: 33 cm at the shoulder   Rescue Story Homil was rescued from an animal-hoarding situation where many dogs were living together without adequate care. Now safe and cared for, Homil is ready to find a loving forever family.   With People Homil is a friendly, affectionate boy who enjoys meeting people—even strangers! He approaches them, rubs against them, and happily accepts pets. He is comfortable being picked up and held and may even show his belly to someone he has just met.   With Other Dogs Homil prefers human company to playing with other dogs. He is generally friendly with dogs his size or smaller and is patient even when they pester him.   With Cats His reaction to cats has not yet been observed. A cat test can be arranged.   Energy & Walks Homil has a moderate energy level. He enjoys outdoor activities and settles down quietly afterward. He has plenty of walking experience, follows his person well, and walks without pulling on the leash.   Life at Home • He has not shown food guarding toward people or other dogs. • He may bark when separated from people. His family should be prepared for possible separation anxiety and help him gradually become comfortable spending time alone. • In a kennel, he alternates between being quiet and vocalizing. He will need patience and support rather than an expectation that he is already crate trained. • He currently uses both indoor and outdoor potty areas. His family should expect an adjustment period and possible accidents in a new home.   Homil is looking for a family who will enjoy his affectionate nature and patiently support him as he settles into his new life.

QUICK FACTS Name: Kkaedol Age: 8 years old Gender: Male (Neutered) Breed: Maltese Color: White Weight: 3 kg / 6.6 lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I once had a forever home and a caretaker who loved and cared for me. Unfortunately, my caretaker’s health suddenly declined, and they could no longer give me the care and attention I deserved. Wanting the best for me, the difficult decision was made to find me a new loving home. Although saying goodbye to the life I knew wasn’t easy, I’m ready to begin a new chapter. I already know how wonderful it feels to be part of a family, and now I’m hoping to find another special person who will welcome me into their heart and give me a safe, loving home for the rest of my life.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Healthy with no known health issues I have a slightly longer tongue, so you may catch it adorably peeking out from time to time! It doesn’t cause me any discomfort or affect my daily life in any way. It’s simply one of my cute little features that makes me uniquely me.   MY PERSONALITY My previous family loved me and truly wanted the best for me. Unfortunately, when my caretaker’s health significantly declined, they had to make the difficult decision to find me a new home where I could continue receiving all the love and care I deserve. Having my whole world suddenly change has been a big adjustment, but I’m handling it beautifully. I’m a healthy, affectionate boy who absolutely loves people, and even in a completely new environment, I happily follow everyone around looking for pets, attention, and companionship. During my profile photoshoot, I even kept climbing onto one of the staff members’ backs because apparently I decided I deserved a piggyback ride! I may be starting over, but my loving and trusting personality hasn’t changed. I already know what it means to be part of a family, and I’m ready to find someone special to share that love with again.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I’m super friendly with people and love greeting everyone I meet! I happily soak up pets, affection, and attention and am always excited to make a new human friend. I’m comfortable being picked up and held, and once I feel at ease with you, I’ll even roll over and show you my belly for some extra love and belly rubs. · With Dogs: I enjoy greeting new dogs and making friends, but I’m definitely more of a people’s pup at heart! I prefer to take my time rather than jumping straight into play and am perfectly happy doing my own thing. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown. A cat test can be arranged upon request to ensure the best fit.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate energy level. I enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring, and having fun, but once I’ve had my activity and excitement, I’m more than happy to come inside and relax comfortably indoors.   TRAINING & HABITS I walk well on leash and follow my handler’s lead nicely, making me an enjoyable walking companion. I also have great manners around food and don’t guard my meals or treats from either people or other dogs. I don’t currently show signs of separation anxiety, but because I’m such a people oriented boy who forms strong bonds, I may become deeply attached to my forever family. Continuing to encourage healthy independence from the beginning will help me feel secure and confident even when my favourite people aren’t right beside me. I’m also a quiet boy who rarely barks and already know how to settle and rest calmly in my kennel. Despite all the recent changes in my life, I’m adjusting beautifully and showing everyone what a sweet and adaptable companion I can be.   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’m an incredibly sweet and affectionate boy who simply loves being around people. Even though my whole world has recently changed, I’ve handled everything with such a gentle and trusting heart. I happily follow people around, seek out pets and affection, and just want to be included in whatever my humans are doing. During my profile photoshoot, I even kept climbing onto a staff member’s back for a piggyback ride! I already have so many wonderful qualities for home life. I walk nicely on leash, rarely bark, settle calmly in my kennel, and have excellent manners around food. Most importantly, I already know what it means to love and be loved by a family. My previous family wanted the very best for me, and now the volunteers and staff want the same. They’re especially hopeful that I’ll find a loving home where I can spend my senior years surrounded by comfort, companionship, and all the affection I deserve. I may be an older gentleman, but I still have so much love to give and so many happy memories left to make with my new family.   KKAEDOL'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2828490##

Story
QUICK FACTS Name: Sta Age: About 5 Years Old Gender: Male (Neutered) Breed: Maltese Color: White Weight: 5kg / 11lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from an illegal 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 proper care. Now, I’m looking forward to leaving that chapter behind and beginning a brighter future as a cherished companion in a loving forever family.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Neutered & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m Sta! I’m a sweet, people-oriented little dog with a gentle personality and a past that makes my rescuers wish they could give me the whole world. I came from a breeding facility, where I appear to have been used as a breeding dog. Despite that experience, I’m remarkably comfortable around people and seem genuinely excited about the opportunity to become someone’s companion. I’m naturally friendly and approachable, even with people I’ve never met before. I happily follow my favorite humans around to see what they’re doing. One of my sweetest habits is how peacefully I settle when someone picks me up. Rather than squirming or trying to get away, I relax into their arms as though being held is exactly where I want to be. I’m currently sporting a short haircut, but my appearance will become even more charming once my coat grows longer. For now, I have a simple, endearing look that suits my gentle personality, and I’m looking forward to showing off my fluffier side in the future! I’d do well with a family who appreciates a friendly, gentle companion and is willing to invest some patience in my training. I already have a wonderful foundation when it comes to connecting with people, and now I’m ready to learn the everyday skills that come with being part of a family. After spending so much of my life in a breeding facility, I’m hoping my next chapter will be filled with new experiences, comfortable routines, and the simple happiness of finally having a home of my own.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I’m naturally friendly and affectionate with people, and I happily approach both familiar faces and new people to say hello and ask for attention. I love leaning in for affection and am comfortable being petted, even by someone I’ve just met. I’m so open and trusting that I may even roll over and show my belly to a complete stranger! 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. · 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 still 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. I may whine when I’m in a kennel, but with continued positive kennel training, patience, and a consistent routine, I can gradually learn to feel more comfortable and settle on my own. 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. 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 relax, feel secure, and 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 One important thing my future family should know is that I currently mark quite frequently indoors. This is a habit that will require consistent training and management as I transition into a home. A predictable potty routine, close supervision, and positive reinforcement will help me understand appropriate bathroom habits.    STA'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2864158##

Story
QUICK FACTS Name: Chamkkae Age: 3 years old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Maltipoo Color: Brown, White Weight:  4kg / 8.8lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from a terrible puppy mill where Poodles like me were kept in heartbreaking conditions. Instead of experiencing the love, comfort, and care every dog deserves, I spent my days in an environment filled with neglect and uncertainty. Thankfully, kind rescuers stepped in and brought me to safety, giving me a second chance at life. Those difficult days are finally behind me, and I'm ready to discover what it truly means to be part of a loving family.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Healthy with no known health issues It appears that I have undergone vocal cord surgery before my rescue during my time at the puppy mill   MY PERSONALITY I'm a super sweet, gentle little girl, and believe it or not, I'm even tinier in person! Despite everything I've been through, I haven't lost my trust in people. I have such a loving nature and enjoy being around those who show me kindness and affection. Here's a cute little fact about me! My name means "sesame seeds" in Korean, which couldn't be more fitting for my beautiful brown fur. Just like my name, I'm a tiny little sweetheart with plenty of charm! I'm also wonderful with my dog friends! I get along well with other dogs and have a naturally gentle, peaceful personality. I enjoy their company and am happy to share my space with them without causing any trouble. With my petite size, beautiful brown coat, and affectionate personality, I have so much love packed into one tiny body! After everything I've experienced, I'm ready to find a family who will cherish me and give me the happy life I've been waiting for.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I'm a total people lover and seem to make friends with everyone I meet! I love greeting new people and am always happy to receive gentle pets and affection. I'm especially fond of cuddles and would happily curl up on your lap to enjoy some quality time together. Despite my tiny size, I have so much love to give! Nothing makes me happier than being close to my favourite humans, soaking up their attention, and enjoying all the snuggles I can get. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate little lap dog, I might just be your perfect match! · With Dogs: I'm a gentle and friendly little girl who enjoys greeting new doggy friends! While I'm happy to say hello and spend time around other dogs, I'm generally more independent and prefer doing my own thing rather than jumping straight into playtime. I'm also a natural peacekeeper! I don't like getting involved in conflicts or doggy drama and would much rather enjoy a calm, peaceful environment. Because of my gentle nature, I would do best with other dogs who are equally relaxed, easygoing, and respectful of my space. I love having dog friends around, especially when we can simply enjoy each other's company! · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate energy level. I enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring, and having fun, but once I’ve had my activity and excitement, I’m more than happy to come inside and relax comfortably indoors.   TRAINING & HABITS I'm still learning my leash manners, so I'll need a little more practice and guidance to become a confident walking companion. I also have good manners around food and don't guard my meals or treats from people or other dogs. I don't currently show signs of separation anxiety, but because I form strong bonds with my favourite people, it's important that I gradually learn to feel comfortable spending time alone as I settle into my new home. I can sometimes whine when I'm resting in my kennel, but I'm making progress every day! With a consistent routine and positive reinforcement, I'm learning that it's okay to relax and enjoy some quiet time on my own.   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 • Understanding of my past and willing to be patient while I come out of my shell   SPECIAL NOTES I have the most beautiful brown eyes and an incredibly sweet, gentle personality to match! I'm a loving little girl who enjoys being around people, and I think I'll settle into a forever home nicely once I've had a chance to adjust. When it comes to my ideal home, I'd be perfectly happy being the only dog and soaking up all the love and attention from my family! However, I could also do well with gentle, easygoing dog siblings around my size who respect my space and share my peaceful nature. I'm currently a little underweight, so I'm on a special diet to help me gradually reach a healthier weight. With proper nutrition, care, and plenty of love, I'm looking forward to growing stronger and enjoying all the wonderful things life has to offer. I'm a tiny girl with a big heart, and I can't wait to find a family who will cherish me and give me the happy, comfortable life I deserve!   CHAMKKAE'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   ADOPTION INFORMATION • Adoption Fee: 950.00CAD/USD   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2866371##

QUICK FACTS Name: Aisher Age: About 5 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##
