QUICK FACTS Name: Kkamang Age: About 5 Years Old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Maltese – Poodle Color: Black Weight: 4kg / 9lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I used to live with my sisters but when our guardian had to move into a nursing home, we suddenly lost the only home we knew. All four of us were rescued and I’m one of them. It was a confusing change, but now I’ve been given a second chance to find a family of my own.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Spayed & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m Kkamang—a tiny, adorable Maltipoo with a soft heart. I might look a little shy at first, but I’m actually quite friendly, even with people I’ve just met. I like being around humans and feel comforted by gentle attention. I’m a sweet little pup who just needs understanding and reassurance. I may be small, but I have so much potential to grow into a loving, trusting companion. If you’re someone who can go slow with me and help me build confidence, I’ll be right there by your side, learning to feel safe and loved.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I can be a little shy when we first meet, but give me a treat and a gentle approach, and I warm up quickly. Before you know it, I’ll be leaning in for pets and enjoying your company. I’m comfortable being picked up when you gently lift me with support under my belly, and once I feel safe with you, I’ll even roll over and show you my belly—a quiet little way of saying I trust you. I haven’t had the chance to meet young children under 13 yet, so I may need a bit of time and guidance in new situations like that. · With Dogs: I’m a naturally friendly pup who loves making new friends—I’ll happily walk up to both familiar and new dogs to say hello and invite them to play. I tend to feel especially comfortable and get along best with dogs around my own size. · With Cats: Cats might pass by, but I’m much more interested in staying connected with my human during walks   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have moderate energy level – I like getting fresh air, but I’m just as content resting once I’m back home. I’m still learning about the outside world, so if something surprises me, I might stop and lie low until I feel safe again. Peaceful walks suit me best, as heavy traffic and loud environments can be a little scary. With time and support, I’m growing braver every day.   TRAINING & HABITS I’m comfortable sharing space and don’t guard my meals around people or other dogs. I may whine a little when I’m in a kennel, and car rides can feel scary, so I need a bit of help being gently carried in. I’m adaptable with my potty habits and can use both indoor pads and go outside.   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 Grooming time—like baths, drying, and nail trims—can be really scary for me. When I feel overwhelmed, I might try to protect myself, so I’ll need someone patient who can help me feel safe and go at my pace. I can also get startled easily, and when I do, I may panic a bit. Because of that, extra care is important during walks or in new environments, so I don’t try to run off. I’m still learning how to feel confident outside, so walking isn’t quite my strength yet—but with time and gentle guidance, I can improve.    KKAMANG'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2720327##

Story
Meet Bbang He must travel in-cabin, so we are currently only accepting applications from adopters who can pick up in Toronto or Calgary. • Name: Bbang • Age: 5 years • Sex: Neutered Male • Breed: Maltese • Color: White • Weight: 2.4 kg • Height (shoulder): 23 cm   Rescue Story Bbang was left behind when his previous owner moved overseas. He was abandoned at a golf course where he had been a regular visitor. During his time there, he was unfortunately mistreated by some male guests and forced to stay in a storage area. A kind caretaker who looked after him reached out to us, hoping to find him a safe and loving forever home.   Personality & Socialization (People) Bbang is a very affectionate and friendly little dog who loves people. He approaches both familiar faces and strangers with ease, often leaning in for pets and attention.   In new environments, he may show a brief moment of shyness, but he quickly warms up—especially with treats—and does not show any guarding or defensive behavior. He is comfortable with men and has also done well around children he met at the park.   He can be picked up easily and, once bonded, will happily roll over to show his belly for rubs.   Socialization (Dogs) Bbang is polite and social with other dogs. He enjoys greeting both familiar and unfamiliar dogs but is not overly playful.   He tends to avoid larger dogs at first and may be a bit intimidated by them. However, he is friendly with dogs of similar or smaller size and prefers calmer companions. High-energy dogs can feel overwhelming for him.   Even when provoked, he chooses to avoid conflict rather than react.   With Cats Bbang is currently living with a cat and has been doing very well. They even share the bed and sleep together.   Energy Level He has a moderate energy level. He enjoys outdoor activities and walks, but settles down nicely and rests calmly afterward.   ‍ Walks Bbang has good leash manners and does not pull. He prefers walking over excessive sniffing and follows his handler well.   He is attentive outdoors and has shown good behavior, such as waiting calmly when cars pass.   Additional Notes • May show food guarding toward humans (growling if touched while eating), but does not guard from other dogs • No excessive barking • Mild initial whining in a kennel, but settles within a few minutes • Enjoys car rides • Currently practicing for in-cabin flight travel using a carrier • Fully trained for both pee pads and outdoor potty • May mark in new environments   Ideal Home Bbang would thrive in a loving home that understands small dog sensitivities and can provide a calm, stable environment. He would do especially well with gentle handling during mealtimes and with companions who respect his space when needed.   If you’re looking for a small, affectionate companion who will happily stay by your side, Bbang could be the perfect match Apply to adopt or foster: https://adoptmekr.org Please also visit our Facebook or Instagram! ##2707777##
