Story
Say hello to Pugberto, a handsome little Pug mix from Mexico who is ready to trade his days of waiting for a lifetime of love. Pugberto may not take up much room in your home, but he certainly takes up a BIG place in your heart. This funny, playful, incredibly photogenic boy has a personality that is impossible to forget. Pugberto is happiest when he is close to his people. Pick him up and cuddle him, and you'll quickly discover one of his favorite things in the world. He absolutely loves affection, being carried, and having those adorable cheeks gently squeezed. But don't let his cuddly side fool you - Pugberto also knows how to have fun! He enjoys playing, especially when there are good chewing toys involved. With his medium energy level, he would love a family who will include him in daily life, give him regular walks and playtime, and then let him settle in beside them for some well-earned cuddles. And there is one very important thing you should know about this little guy: Pugberto is a professional food thief. If you leave a snack or unattended plate within reach, he may decide that it has been personally offered to him. His future family will need to keep food safely out of his way - because Pugberto apparently believes that every meal is a community meal, and he is the community! On walks, Pugberto is a good leash companion and enjoys getting out to explore. He could adapt well to a variety of homes with the right family and routine. When it comes to other dogs, Pugberto has some preferences. He generally does best with female dogs. Slow, careful introductions are important, and he may be happiest as the only male dog in the home or alongside a compatible, spayed female. Pugberto is also frightened by thunderstorms. During storms, he will need a family who understands that fear and will help him feel safe. A quiet indoor space, closed curtains and windows, comforting companionship, and a cozy place to retreat can help him get through those scary moments. What Pugberto needs most is not perfection. He needs understanding and someone who will laugh at his silly antics, protect him from stormy nights, keep the dinner table safely guarded, give him toys to chew, take him for walks, and - most importantly - give him the love and security he deserves. In return, Pugberto promises to bring his whole personality with him: the playful moments, the hilarious food-stealing attempts, the cuddles, the funny expressions, and those irresistible cheeks. Good with women: Yes Good with men: Yes Good with kids: Yes older children recommended as his interactions with kids has been limited Good with other dogs: Yes, but prefers females. Good with cats: Yes House trained: Yes Crate trained: No, he does not currently enjoy being in a crate, but he can learn with gradual, positive crate training Energy level: Low-medium Can be handled/touched: Yes, he loves affection, cuddles, and being pampered Barker: No Flight risk: No; however, all dogs should be considered flight risks in new environments Food aggressive: No Current food: Kirkland chicken dry food Walks on leash: Yes, he walks well on leash Leash reactive to people or dogs: No Rides well in car: Yes Destructive: No Needs a home with a yard: Preferred, but he does not need a large yard as long as he gets regular walks and potty breaks Needs a home with another dog: No, Pugberto would be perfectly happy as an only dog. If there is another dog in the home, a female would be the best match. Can live in an apartment: Yes Please visit our website niagaradogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

We truly appreciate your patience while we work through this issue — and thank you for wanting to help a rescue dog    — Loyal Rescue Name/Tag#: Osiris 3785 Age: 18 months Sex/Altered: Male / Neutered Weight: 5 lbs Breed: Chihuahua mix Foster Home Location: OTTAWA, ON Adoption Fee: $900.00 Temperament: Sweet, playful, curious, loving, Activity/Energy Level: Low Up to date on Shots: Yes Housebroken: Yes Crate Trained: Yes Ok with Dogs: Good with small dogs but dogs bigger than 10 lbs Ok with Cats: No Ok with Kids: No, looking for adult only home Origin: Shelter Release Requirements: A secured fenced yard (no tie out or electric fencing, REMEMBER he could squeeze out of small places), someone home with him, only gets along with small dogs that have good manners.  Meet Osiris! Around my foster home, I'm also known as Babe or Mister—I'll happily answer to them all! I may only weigh 5 pounds, but my heart is absolutely enormous. If there's one thing I've learned about myself, it's that I was made to love people. My favorite place in the world is wherever my humans are... especially at bedtime! I'm needing to find a forever family that doesn't mind sharing the bed with me. Every night, I curl up at the top of the bed, get cozy, and sleep soundly until you tell me it's time to start the day. Because I'm such a tiny little guy, I'm looking for an adult-only home with a securely fenced yard. I'm small enough to squeeze through the tiniest openings, so my safety is very important. I currently live with several other dogs in my foster home and have discovered that I'm happiest with dogs my own size or smaller that aren’t in my personal space all the time. I love playing with my little canine friends, but it has to me on my own terms, I don’t like being pestered when I have had enough play time! Larger dogs are overwhelming for me, and I'm not afraid to let them know I'd prefer they keep their distance. I also enjoy going for walks. If we happen to see a bigger dog, my foster mom simply scoops me up into what she jokingly calls "air jail." The moment I'm safely in her arms, I stop barking, relax, and happily continue our adventure. I truly believe I was put on this earth to love and be loved. Now I'm searching for a forever family who will love me to the moon and back, keep me safe, and make me part of their everyday life. If you think we might be the perfect match, I'd love to receive your application. I can't wait to start the next chapter of my life with a family who will cherish me forever. And now, a few words from my foster mom: Osiris may be tiny, but he has a huge heart and enough personality to fill an entire house! Certified in being your very best friend, this little guy wants to be wherever you are. A person home most of the time would be an ideal home for this little guy. He is  not suited to apartment or multi unit living due to his fear of meeting larger dogs and barking when he hears noises. Osiris has perfected the art of the surprise snack theft. He'll patiently watch you enjoy your fries, waiting for the perfect moment. Before you know it, one has disappeared right out of your hand, and you'll turn to find Osiris happily munching away with the most innocent expression on his face. His clever antics don't stop there. Around the other foster dogs, Osiris quietly watches as they enjoy a favorite bone or toy. The instant an opportunity presents itself, he swoops in, snatches the prize, and settles down to enjoy it himself before the other dog even realizes what happened. It's all done so quickly and confidently that you can't help but laugh. Osiris is incredibly smart, lightning-fast, and always knows exactly what he wants and how to get it. Despite his mischievous side, he doesn't have a mean bone in his little body. He's simply a happy, lovable character with a zest for life, a talent for making people smile, and a heart full of love. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will keep you laughing every day, Osiris is truly one of a kind. Questions?

Story
QUICK FACTS Name: Wangsoon Age: 6 years old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Boston Terrier Color: Black & White Weight:  9.5kg / 21lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from a city pound where I had sadly been placed on the euthanasia list. Through no fault of my own, I was running out of time and my future was uncertain. Thankfully, rescuers stepped in just in time and gave me the second chance I desperately needed. There’s also a little mystery to my story. Around the time I was rescued, another Boston Terrier boy who looked almost exactly like me was posted online. Volunteers and staff believe he may have been my sibling and that we possibly lived in the same home before being abandoned together. We may never know exactly what happened, but those uncertain days are behind me now. When I was rescued, I was also dealing with a skin infection. With medicated baths, treatment, and lots of care, my skin has improved significantly and I’m doing so much better. Now I’m ready to focus on the future and find a forever family who will cherish me, keep me safe, and love me as a true member of the family.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY I’m a super friendly and affectionate girl who absolutely loves people! I’m happiest when I’m getting attention and will gladly shower you with kisses and love. I’m so social that I’ll happily follow people around even when we’ve only just met, just because I enjoy being close to my humans. I get along well with my dog friends too, but I’m definitely a people’s pup at heart. Human companionship is where I truly thrive, and if you’re looking for a loving little shadow who will happily follow you around and fill your days with affection, I might just be your girl!   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. When I do play, I enjoy spending time with dog friends who match my energy and respect my space. I’m a natural peacekeeper and get along well with the dogs at the care facility. I’m not interested in drama and would much rather keep things calm, friendly, and easygoing. · 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 girl who forms strong bonds, I may become deeply attached to my forever family. Helping me build healthy independence from the beginning will help me stay confident and comfortable even when my favourite people aren’t right beside me. For potty habits, I currently go both indoors using pee pads and 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 • Ideally, I’m looking for a family who is familiar with Boston Terriers or willing to learn about their unique needs, especially when it comes to skin care. Since I have sensitive skin and a history of skin issues, I’ll thrive with a family who can keep an eye on my skin and provide the ongoing care I need to stay comfortable and healthy.   SPECIAL NOTES I’m a loving little people’s pup with so much affection to give. It’s heartbreaking to think that I may have once known the comfort of a home, only to somehow find myself abandoned and facing an uncertain future at a city pound. Despite everything, I remain an incredibly sweet and trusting girl who wants nothing more than to be close to people, follow them around, give kisses, and soak up all the love I can get. Because I bond deeply with my favourite humans, my future family should continue helping me build healthy independence as I settle in. I also have sensitive skin and a history of skin issues, so I would especially love a family familiar with Boston Terriers or someone committed to understanding my ongoing skin care needs. I’ve already lost a home once. This time, I’m looking for a family who will truly cherish me and make sure I never have to wonder where I belong again.   WANGSOON'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2828485##
