Story
Meet Dongree   Breed: Shiba mix Age: 4 years old Sex: Spayed female Colour: Brown Weight: 14kg Height (to shoulder): 45cm   Rescue Story   Donggree was rescued from a city shelter’s euthanasia list and has been waiting patiently ever since for a family of her own.   She may take a few days to open up — usually between 3 days to a week — but once she feels safe, her loving and playful personality shines through. She’s affectionate with familiar people and allows gentle handling or even being lifted once trust is built.   Personality & Socialization   Donggree has the classic Shiba mix personality — a little cautious at first, independent, yet deeply loyal once she bonds with you.   She gets along well with most dogs, both larger and smaller, but can react if another dog challenges her. For this reason, careful introductions with new dogs are recommended. With friendly dogs, however, she loves to play and enjoys companionship.   Her reaction to cats hasn’t been observed yet.   Energy Level & Behavior   Donggree has a moderate energy level. She enjoys outdoor walks and activities but settles calmly afterward. She walks well overall, though she may pull on the leash occasionally. Once the leash is on, she follows nicely and enjoys the walk.   She doesn’t guard food from people or other dogs and behaves quietly in her kennel. She feels anxious about car rides, so she prefers to be held during transport.   She’s comfortable using both pee pads indoors and pottying outdoors, which makes her adaptable to different home environments.   A Loyal and Independent Spirit   Donggree is a bright, affectionate girl with that unmistakable Shiba charm — loyal, clean, and quietly confident. She may be cautious at first, but with patience and consistency, she opens up to reveal a loving heart.   Once she trusts you, she’ll become your faithful shadow, following you with her signature calm energy and gentle eyes.   Ideal Home: A patient and understanding family who can give her the time she needs to build trust. A home that appreciates the independent but affectionate nature of Shiba mixes would be perfect for her.   Donggree may take a little time to trust, but once she does, she’ll stay by your side for life — loyal, loving, and full of quiet strength. Apply to foster or adopt to show her how beautiful the world can be. www.adoptmekr.org Please also visit our Facebook or Instagram.

Story
Meet Leeta Name: LeetaAge: 5 yearsSex: Female (Spayed)Breed: Shiba MixWeight: 9.8 kg (a little chubby )Height: 32 cm (shoulder height)   Rescue Story Leeta’s previous owner entered a nursing home. Unfortunately, his son was unable to care for her, and she was surrendered to a shelter.   ‍‍‍ People & SocializationLeeta is a gentle and affectionate dog who just needs a little time to warm up. She may be cautious at first, but after spending 1–2 hours together, she begins to trust and will lean into you for pets or gently paw at you to ask for attention. She absolutely loves treats, which helps her bond quickly with new people. However, in unfamiliar environments, loud voices or being approached too quickly may scare her, and she may try to move away. She is comfortable being handled by her trusted person but may avoid being picked up by strangers—especially in stressful situations (like vet visits or getting into a car). She likely just isn’t used to being lifted. No known experience with children under 13 Enjoys affection once comfortable Shows her belly when she trusts you     Dog SocializationLeeta’s reactions to other dogs depend on their behavior. Gentle, calm dogs → she greets politely and may even play (play bow!) Pushy or reactive dogs → she can become defensive (growling or reacting) She has shown some dominant behaviors (like mounting) when first meeting new dogs and may be more assertive with smaller or younger dogs. However, she tends to settle well with calm, slightly larger, or respectful dogs. Careful introductions are important, as she may react if another dog is aggressive or confrontational. She may growl at food from other dogs (not from people).   Cat TestLeeta has seen a resident cat at the vet. She was initially curious, but became overly excited when the cat moved, so caution and slow introductions would be needed in a home with cats.   Energy LevelModerate energyShe enjoys outdoor activities but settles down calmly afterward.   ‍ Walk & Leash Can pull on leash but generally follows her handler well Walks nicely in quiet areas Can be scared of busy roads and traffic   Car & Crate Calm and quiet once inside the car (no motion sickness) However, she is scared of getting into the car and needs to be lifted in Calm in a kennel/crate   House Training Mostly outdoor potty If left too long (7–8 hours), she may use an indoor bathroom area   Personality & NotesLeeta may look like a typical Shiba, but she has a softer, more affectionate personality. She was deeply loved by her previous owner and is now adjusting to a completely new life after losing him. Because of this, she may seem a little timid at first—but once she feels safe, her true personality shines: Affectionate and loving Expressive (nudging with her body or pawing gently for pets) Smart and observant Quiet (rarely barks) She isn’t very familiar with toys yet, likely due to her past lifestyle, but once comfortable, she shows playful behaviors like play bows and engaging with her person. She may hesitate in unfamiliar environments such as long staircases or large buildings, likely due to limited exposure.   Ideal HomeLeeta would thrive in a patient, understanding home that can: Give her time to adjust and build trust Provide calm, structured introductions to new environments and dogs Continue working on leash manners and confidence   If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will blossom into a deeply affectionate dog once she trusts you, Leeta could be the perfect match.

Story
My name is Jessie, and I’m a 2-year-old female Shiba × Jindo mix weighing around 13kg — a comfortable medium size, perfect for sharing everyday life together. I have the sweet fox-like face of a Shiba, mixed with the sturdy and graceful charm of a Jindo. People often notice my bright eyes and calm presence first… but the longer they spend with me, the more they fall in love with my quiet affection and gentle personality. Before I was rescued, I was on the euthanasia list at a shelter. Because of that, I think I understand more than most dogs how precious a real family can be. 💛 Thankfully, even after everything I’ve been through, I still have a very kind heart. I get along well with other dogs and usually live peacefully without conflict. I can be a little shy or cautious when meeting new people or entering unfamiliar environments, but that’s simply because I’m thoughtful and careful by nature. I’m not the type to rush up to strangers right away. But if you give me patience and kindness instead of pressure, something beautiful happens — one day I’ll quietly walk toward you first, wag my tail, and decide that you are someone I can trust. And once I open my heart, I become incredibly loving and loyal. I truly enjoy being near my people and sharing quiet companionship together. Because I’ve never really experienced normal family life before, there are still many things I need to learn after adoption. The sounds inside a home, neighborhood walks, house routines, alone time, visitors, and everyday family life may all feel new to me at first. During the first days or weeks, I may seem nervous, cautious, or unsure while adjusting to such a different environment. I might make mistakes sometimes — but those moments are not “bad behavior.” They are simply part of learning and healing. What I need most is not punishment, but patience. If you gently teach me things like potty routines, leash manners, house rules, and how to feel safe with people, I know I can continue growing into an amazing companion. Jindo mixes are known for being intelligent and observant, and I’m the kind of girl who pays close attention to my human’s emotions and routines. When I feel secure and understood, I learn very quickly. In the beginning, it will help me most if my new family gives me a calm, predictable routine and a quiet safe space where I can relax. Rather than rushing me into too many new experiences at once, I would do best with gentle guidance and time to adjust at my own pace. And once trust is built, I will give my whole heart in return. I may not be the kind of dog who feels “perfect” from the very first moment. But if you are looking for a companion to grow with, learn with, and slowly become family with, I truly believe I could bring deep love, warmth, and happiness into your life. A girl who was once almost forgotten is now waiting hopefully for her forever home. Maybe that family is you. 🐾 Love, Jessie

Story
Hi… my name is Gaon 🐕I’m a 4-year-old male Shiba × Jindo mix, and I weigh about 18kg.I was once placed on a shelter’s euthanasia list.Even after I was rescued, no one came for me for a very long time. The shelter became the only home I knew—far longer than any dog should have to endure.When people approach me, I don’t rush forward with excitement.Instead, I watch carefully.I’m afraid you might leave.Afraid I might be alone again.So I open my heart slowly, cautiously.But behind that hesitation is a heart that longs deeply to love a person.I simply never learned how to show it. I went so long without being chosen, without being loved, that I don’t always know how to ask for affection.That’s why I struggle when attention is shared with other dogs.It’s not jealousy—it’s more like a quiet plea:“Please don’t leave me this time.”That’s why I’m hoping for an only-dog home, where I can finally feel secure.When it’s just you and me, I’m a completely different dog.I’ll meet your eyes, lean gently against you, and offer shy little gestures of affection. Once I give my heart, I give it fully—with the deep, unwavering loyalty that Jindo dogs are known for.Home life may feel unfamiliar to me at first.I’ll need time, patience, and understanding.But if you’re willing to walk that slow beginning with me, I promise you this:I will become a dog who makes one person my whole world.A once-in-a-lifetime companion who loves quietly, deeply, and forever.Somewhere in a shelter, I’m still waiting—waiting for the one person who will call my nameand mean it for life.

Story
Hi… I’m Norang 🤍 I was found wandering in the mountains, after losing my mom. I wasn’t alone back then—I had my siblings with me. But one by one, they found their families and left for their new homes. Now… it’s just me. And I’m still here, waiting. Hoping my turn will come. I’m a bright and friendly boy. I like people, and I get along well with other dogs too. At first, I might feel a little shy… but if you give me just a little time, I’ll come closer with a wagging tail and a curious heart. Because I really do love being near you. I’m still just a puppy—only 1 years old. So I’m full of energy, curiosity, and a little bit of mischief too 😊 I love toys. I love running and playing. And every day, I’m learning something new about the world. There are still many things I don’t know yet. Living in a home, potty training, understanding what I can and can’t do… I’ll need you to teach me all of that, step by step. Sometimes I might chew on things, or make little mistakes. But I’m not trying to be bad—I’m just growing, learning, becoming who I’m meant to be. Right now, I’m not a “perfect” dog. I’m a dog in the middle of becoming. And that means something special— because you get to be part of who I grow into. With your love, your guidance, and your patience, I can become the best companion you could ever ask for. Even after losing my family, I still trust people. I still believe in love. Now I just need someone who won’t leave— someone who will stay, teach me, and grow with me. I don’t want to be alone anymore. I want a home. I want you. Will you be my forever family? 🤍

Story
Hi! My name is Soony. 💛 I'm a 5-month-old Shiba Inu and Jindo mix girl, weighing about 5 kg (11 lbs). With my big pointy ears, fluffy coat, and always-smiling face, I'm a happy little puppy who's ready to fill your home with love, laughter, and endless adventures. Even though I'm still just a baby, I've already been through more than any puppy should. When I was very young, I was rescued while suffering from a severe skin disease. I was so sick that euthanasia was even recommended. But the wonderful people who cared for me didn't give up. With lots of treatment, patience, and love, I made a full recovery. Today, I'm healthy, happy, and ready to begin the life I've always deserved. I absolutely love people! I'm friendly, affectionate, and usually warm up to new people very quickly. If you give me a little attention, I'll happily wag my tail and come over to ask for more cuddles. I love other dogs, too! Playing with my canine friends is one of my favorite things, and I'm always excited to run around, chase, and make new friends. I'm already learning so many new things. I enjoy going for walks, ride calmly in the car, and adjust surprisingly well to new places and experiences. I'm also a very quiet puppy and rarely bark, so I'm an easy little companion to have around the house. Did I mention that I love food? 😋 I'm definitely not a picky eater! Kibble, treats... if it's food, chances are I'll happily eat it with a wagging tail. I'm doing really well with potty training and currently succeed about 80% of the time. Since I'm still a puppy, I may have a few accidents while adjusting to a new home, but with patience, consistency, and a regular routine, I'll keep improving every day. Because I'm only five months old, I'm still learning how the world works. I might chew on something I shouldn't, get curious about everything, or make a few silly puppy mistakes along the way. I'm looking for a family who understands that puppies don't come perfectly trained—they grow into wonderful dogs through patient guidance, gentle teaching, and lots of encouragement. The good news is that I love people, enjoy learning, and respond really well to praise and attention. I can't wait to learn all about family life and become the best companion I can be. I may have had a difficult start, but that chapter is behind me now. What I'm dreaming about is simple: a home filled with love, cozy naps, fun adventures, and people who will watch me grow from a playful little puppy into their lifelong best friend. Will you be the family that gets to share every milestone, every season, and every happy memory with me? I promise I'll make each one worth remembering. 💛🐾
