Story
This sweet guy is sociable but showing as anxious in the shelter environment. He does seem to settle with a little time but can whine and be slower to settle in new areas. He is eager to interact with people and in time that seems to really settle him down. He can`t wait to find his new home, he would do best with adults and possibly older children that are 12 years or over. He may have some prey drive as he did come in smelling like a skunk! A Basic Manners class or a private consult would be required with his adoption. He is overweight, so definitely needs to lose some weight, to make it easier on his body. You will always find him holding a ball or stuffy in his mouth. Size: Medium 30.9 kg / 68 lbs (requires some weightloss) Children: Children 12 years and older may be okay Cats: No cats or small animals pleaseDogs: May do best with dogs of similar size and playstyle

Story
Hi, future family 🧡 My name is Nut, and I’m a 1-year-old boy with a round little body, short legs, and a face that makes people smile the moment they see me. I’m about 10kg, and people say I look like a mix of Shiba Inu, Welsh Corgi, and Jindo. Somehow, I got the best parts of all three — a bright Shiba face, the gentle charm of a Jindo, and tiny Corgi legs that wiggle along when I walk. Apparently, the way I toddle toward people is “extremely cute.” I hear that a lot. But before I got this second chance, my story was almost over. I was rescued from a city shelter just before euthanasia. If help had come any later, I wouldn’t be here today writing this to you. Even though my past was difficult, I still love people very much. I never stopped hoping someone kind would choose me. I’m actually pretty friendly when meeting new people. I like staying close to humans, and if you look at me or talk to me, my tail starts wagging almost immediately. I really enjoy attention, affection, and simply being near the people I love. I also get along well with other dogs and enjoy running around or relaxing beside dog friends. I do have one funny little habit though… Sometimes I get a tiny bit jealous. If another dog is getting all the attention, I might quietly squeeze my way in or try to remind everyone, “Hey… I’m here too!” But it’s not aggressive at all — it’s more like a little kid asking not to be forgotten. Honestly, I just love people so much that I want to be included in the love too. There’s something important I hope you understand about me: Living in a real home will be completely new for me. I’ve spent my life in shelter environments, so things like house routines, walking politely on leash, waiting alone, potty habits, and understanding family life are all things I’m still learning. At first, I might make mistakes, get overly curious, feel nervous in a new place, or show lots of puppy energy. But that doesn’t mean I’m a “bad” dog — it just means I’ve never truly had the chance to learn what family life feels like. Rescue dogs like me sometimes need time to adjust. For the first few days or weeks, I may seem shy, overwhelmed, or different from what you expected. New environments can feel scary at first. But if you stay patient and give me time, I promise I’ll slowly begin to relax, trust, and show you more and more of my real personality. And I think… my real personality is pretty lovable. I’m the little dog who trots after you on short legs. The one who looks at you with bright eyes whenever you call my name. The one who simply wants to be loved and included in your life. Once, I was standing at the edge of goodbye. Now, I’m waiting for a forever family who will give me a warm home, kind patience, and a life where I never have to feel unwanted again. If you choose me, I’ll spend the rest of my life loving you with my whole heart. 🧡

Story
Meet Mushu!Mama. Lovebug. Squeaky-toy enthusiast. Mushu is a beautiful girl who has already raised her final litter and is now ready for something she’s never truly had before: a family just for her.Mushu is a deeply affectionate dog who adores her people. Cuddles are her love language. Truly, she might even rank them above treats. She loves to be close, lean in for affection, and soak up every bit of attention she can. Give her a rubber squeaky toy and you’ll see her joyful, goofy side instantly. Fetch, tug, and squeaky-toy surgeries (she removes squeakers with impressive speed) are some of her favorite hobbies.Mushu is wonderful with children, especially older ones, and her very favorite human is a teenager in her foster home. She can take a little time to warm up to new adults, especially men, but with kindness, patience, and gentle introductions, she builds beautiful bonds.She has met dogs of all sizes and does best with slow, structured introductions. Mushu can be reactive if another dog barks or growls at her, so she’s looking for adopters who can help her keep practicing positive social skills. She’s also lived with cats and, after some initial curiosity and chasing, has done well with them.She's working on learning that the world outside the window doesn’t need barking at quite so often. She may react to unfamiliar people, bikes, or fast-moving wheeled things, so a patient home experienced with reactive dogs will help her keep growing into her best self.Mushu’s ideal home? A kind, stable household where she can be included in daily life, get lots of affection, and enjoy playtime and cuddles. She doesn’t need another pet, but she does need a family willing to support her as she continues to build confidence.Once you meet her, you’ll understand, Mushu is a gem of a dog with a huge heart, ready to give all her love to the people who choose her.
