Story
COURTESY POST FOR HOPEFUL TAILS DOG RESCUE Mabel originally lived with her mom and siblings in a home, in Portugal, but when her person moved into an apartment, he left all of the dogs at a shelter. At 8 years old, she had little future in there, so arrangements were made to get her to Canada, along with her sister Olive, where we knew a home could be found for her. She has quickly made herself comfortable in her rural foster home with her sister and two foster siblings. What we know about Mabel thus far is that she is the perfect size, at 25 lbs, great with other dogs, cats as well and good in the car. She is very gentle, sweet and so easy to love. Mabel is the social butterfly of the two and Olive is the quiet, watchful one. Although they did not show the typical signs of a bonded pair, when we did a trial separation, Olive didn't do well, so we are now looking for a home where both dogs would be welcome. They are similar in size and while Olive is shy and reserved, Mabel is the Walmart greeter, eager to meet and play with every dog, as well as greeting every person who crosses her path. In fact they compliment each other. They are easy quiet dogs and if you are looking for good companionship, this is the pair to consider. UPDATE: As typical in rescue dogs, at the three week mark, their personalities have emerged and Olive and Mabel are embracing the snow, much more playful and such a great pair. Their preference is a home with a yard, and people home more than not. They would be a great addition for a moderately active senior or anyone wanting great canine companionship. This pair is currently being fostered in Erin, Ontario. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS BONDED PAIR, PLEASE EMAIL info@hopefultailsdogrescue.com

COURTESY POST FOR HOPEFUL TAILS DOG RESCUE Olive originally lived with her mom and siblings in a home, in Portugal, but when her person moved into an apartment, he left all of the dogs at a shelter. At 8 years old and being black, she had no future in there, so arrangements were made to get her to Canada, along with her sister Mabel, where we knew a home could be found. She has quickly made herself comfortable in her rural foster home with her sister and two foster siblings. What we know about Olive thus far is that she is the perfect size, at 30 lbs, great with other dogs, cats as well and good in the car. She is very gentle, sweet and so easy to love. Initially shy, but with so many changes this last week, it is to be expected.

She enjoys human companionship and often approaches first to ask for pets. 👩 With women: Excellent — friendly and trusting 👨 With men: Very good — no fear; at a short-term foster home, she bonded most closely with the dad 👶 With kids: Excellent — does well with kindergarten- and elementary-age children; allows handling and walks calmly even when a child holds the leash 🐶 With dogs: On walks, she may feel nervous around unfamiliar dogs and prefer to turn back if they approach. However, with dogs she lives with, she adjusts over time and coexists peacefully. 🐱 With cats: No direct experience yet. She may be slightly cautious at first. --- 🏠 Energy Level & Lifestyle Haneui has a low energy level and enjoys a calm, relaxed routine. She’s well suited for apartment living and quieter households. --- 🚽 Habits & Training ✔ Fully house-trained ✔ Can potty both indoors and outdoors ✔ If taken outside regularly, she prefers outdoor potty and will wait patiently ✔ Crate-trained and comfortable in a crate --- 🖐 Handling & Touch Haneui loves being touched and cuddled. She often comes over on her own asking to be petted and enjoys close contact with her people. --- 🔊 Barking Tendencies She may bark briefly when: Other animals nearby bark The doorbell rings A stranger first enters the home Once she adjusts, she stops barking and often approaches visitors calmly. Aside from these situations, she is generally very quiet. --- 🍽 Food & Health Notes Medical history: Heartworm (treated), past pancreatitis Diet: Must eat a pancreatitis-friendly prescription diet Treats: Limited — snack restriction required Appetite: Strong food motivation When other animals are present, she may eat quickly or guard food → Separated feeding is recommended She may pick up dropped human food, so supervision is needed --- 🐕 Leash Walking & Travel ✔ Walks very well with a collar and leash ✔ Rides well in cars (may pant slightly but remains calm) --- 🚪 Escape Tendencies Low overall risk, but in frightening situations, caution is advised and secure handling is recommended. --- 🧸 Destructive Behavior Rare when alone. Occasionally mimics other dogs’ behavior (e.g., tearing pee pads or tissues), but nothing severe. --- 🏡 Home Environment ✔ Apartment-friendly ✔ Yard not required ✔ Can live with other dogs (with proper adjustment time) --- 🌈 Rescue Story Haneui was found wandering alone in a rural village and taken to Iksan City Animal Shelter, where euthanasia is practiced. Thanks to rescue intervention, she was saved and given a second chance at life. Now, this sweet and quiet girl is patiently waiting for a forever family to call her own. --- 💛 Haneui is looking for a loving home where she can enjoy gentle affection, calm companionship, and a safe routine. If you’re searching for a small, affectionate, low-energy dog with a kind heart, Haneui may be the perfect match. 🐾

Story
CURRENTLY IN VANCOUVER!!! Charlie   Age: 3 years Sex: Neutered male Breed: Mix Color: Brown Weight: 8.05 kg Height: 32 cm     Rescue Story   Charlie was rescued from an extremely traumatic situation. After an elderly owner passed away, the home was found with deceased cats, one surviving cat, and Charlie — who had been left confined in the bathroom with a wire muzzle tied around his mouth.   After the scene was cleared by authorities and the landlord, Charlie was placed in temporary care and then transferred to a municipal shelter. Despite what he went through, Charlie has remained affectionate, intelligent, and deeply people-oriented.     ‍‍ With People   Charlie loves people and seeks connection.   • Approaches both familiar and new people with friendly body rubs • May be slightly shy at first, but warms up quickly with treats • Allows handling and enjoys being held when supported under the belly • Often shows his belly once comfortable — sometimes even to new people • Generally more comfortable with women • Can be fearful of some men and needs patient, calm introductions     With Other Dogs   Charlie is social and playful with other dogs.   • Greets both familiar and unfamiliar dogs and invites them to play • Friendly with dogs both larger and similar in size • If another dog challenges him, he may respond — so careful introductions are important   Cats & Prey Drive   • Has lived in a multi-cat household for about 5 months • On walks, he may stare at cats but will follow his handler • Shows prey drive toward birds   Energy & Activity   Charlie has medium to high energy and has athletic ability.   • Loves outdoor activity and play • Settles well after proper exercise • Needs daily physical and mental stimulation   He has even kept up with Border Collies and Malinois for hours of play — he is small but mighty.     On Walks   • Walks well on leash without pulling • Loves to sniff and may stop often to explore     At Home   • Uses both pee pads and outdoor potty • Calm and well-behaved in a kennel • Gets in and out of the car on his own • May bark at unfamiliar people     Food & Training   • Not food-protective toward people • May growl if another dog approaches while he is eating • Extremely food-motivated — excellent for training     Play, Training & Intelligence   Charlie is smart, athletic, and playful.   • Loves fetch, tug, and chasing toys • Prefers soft toys like socks and plushies • Enjoys puzzle toys and food-dispensing toys • Strong bite strength — toys wear out quickly   He has even won local competitions for: “Sit & Stay” “Find the Treat”   He thrives in homes that enjoy training, agility, and interactive play.     The Right Home   He needs: A confident, consistent handler Daily exercise and mental stimulation Structured introductions to new dogs and people   In return, he becomes deeply loyal, funny, energetic, and emotionally bonded to his person — a true partner for someone who enjoys an active life with their dog.   Charlie is ready to give his whole heart to the person who gives him stability, leadership, and love.

Story
QUICK FACTS Name: Charong Age: 5 years old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Chihuahua mix Color: Black & white Weight: 6kg / 13lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from a city pound after being placed on the euthanasia list due to lack of space. I’m not sure how I ended up abandoned and alone—I was found wandering around an apartment complex before being taken to the shelter. Now that I’m safe, I’m ready to find my forever family!   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Spayed with no known health issues Received dental cleaning in October 2025   MY PERSONALITY When you meet me, you’ll see what a handsome girl I am—I look like I’m wearing a little tuxedo, like a true girl boss! I’m a very energetic pup who loves going for walks and exploring the world. I adore people and thrive on human companionship—being close to my humans is one of my absolute favorite things!   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I’m very friendly with people! I love greeting everyone and receiving pets and affection. You can easily pick me up and I like to show my belly a lot as a sign of trust. I am very affectionate with volunteers and staff and · With Dogs: I love playing with dog friends, but I have a very energetic, sometimes pushy play style—so I do best with dogs who can match my energy. I can be a bit too much for calmer or senior dogs. I also get jealous when other dogs get affection, so I’d be happiest as the only dog in the home where I can soak up all the love! · With Cats: My reaction to cats is still to be determined. When I see them on walks, I might watch with curiosity for a moment, but I quickly lose interest and continue on my way..   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I’m a fun, high-energy girl who loves adventure! I need plenty of outdoor time to run, explore, and let out my zoomies before I can settle happily indoors. Once I’ve had my exercise, I turn into the sweetest, cuddliest companion.   TRAINING & HABITS I walk well on leash overall, though I can pull when I’m excited or want to go a certain direction, so I’ll benefit from continued leash training. I don’t guard my food with people, but I can get protective around other dogs, so separate mealtimes are best. I’m very food-motivated and have a big appetite—sometimes I even try to sneak food from the table—so I’ll need some consistent guidance with manners. I already know basic commands like sit, and I rest calmly in my kennel. I may bark when I want attention, and I can mark a bit when I’m adjusting to a new environment. If I join a home with another dog, slow introductions are important since I can come on a little strong at first. With patience and structure, I’ll settle in beautifully!   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 offers a fun, structured, and safe environment. A family that understands my high energy needs and willing to guide me with patience so I learn to be more patient and calmer. A family that understands my love for food & helping me become more patient when other dogs are nearby. Ideally home as a single dog A family that will cherish me and spend lots of outdoor & indoor time together.   SPECIAL NOTES I’m a super sweet, friendly girl who absolutely adores people! I know my forever family is out there waiting for me. I’m considered a level 1 rescue dog, which means I adapt quickly and settle easily into new environments—just give me a little love, and I’ll feel right at home.   Charong's YouTube Playlist   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2579663##
