Story
Personality: Cream is a calm and gentle soul. She can be timid in new environments and is sensitive to loud noises, but she absolutely loves going for walks. At home, she prefers to rest quietly. She initially tends to be shy around everyone—women, men, and children alike—but with time and patience, she warms up and shows her sweet nature. Socialization: Women, Men, Children: Initially shy, but bonds well over time. Other Dogs: Enjoys playing and socializing with other dogs. Cats: Has not lived with cats; tends to chase stray cats she sees outside. Training: House-trained: Fully house-trained; prefers outdoor potty. Crate-trained: Feels comfortable resting and sleeping in her crate. Leash-walking: Walks very well without pulling. However, if she encounters loud noises or something that frightens her, she may hesitate or try to avoid that direction. Leash Reactivity: Minimal; may briefly approach people or dogs to sniff, but shows no reactive behavior. Car Rides: Still gaining experience but doing well with practice. Energy Level: Moderate Handling: Comfortable being touched anywhere on her body, but she is scared of being picked up. Barking: Rarely barks — even when meeting new people or seeing other dogs during walks or when visitors come to the home. Escape Risk: Needs supervision and bonding time initially, as she may try to flee if frightened before trust is fully built. Eating Habits: Eats both kibble and home-cooked meals without fuss. However, when stressed or scared, her appetite may decrease temporarily. Destructive Behavior: None reported. Living Situation: Yard Preferred: Nice but not necessary (currently living happily in an apartment). OK to Live with Another Dog: Yes, but not required. Apartment Living: Suitable. Rescue Story: Cream spent her early life tied to a short chain in a remote field deep in the countryside of Korea. She lived alongside her sibling, Cheese, each tethered separately. When Cheese sustained a serious injury, he was rescued first and is now living a happy life with his forever family in Washington, USA. Left behind and even lonelier after her brother's departure, Cream continued to endure hardship until kind rescuers were finally able to save her too. At first, Cream was very afraid of people. But now, when you call her name, she runs over happily, and she loves playing with her dog friends. She’s blossomed into a joyful, affectionate girl who is simply waiting for someone to offer her a loving hand. With warmth and kindness, she will shine even brighter. Cream is waiting with all her heart for a forever family to call her own. Could you be the lucky one to open your heart and home to this sweet girl? She’s ready to be your loyal companion and beloved family member.

Story
Meet Tan, a 5-year-old neutered male Shiba mix with a stunning black and white coat and a sturdy build, weighing 20kg and standing 46cm tall at the shoulder. Tan’s journey hasn’t been the easiest—he was first rescued from a city shelter, then foster-to-adopted, only to be returned when his adopter moved to a home that didn’t allow dogs. He’s now back, hoping for a second chance at a forever home that will truly be his last. Tan can be a bit shy at first, especially around men, but he quickly warms up with a little patience—and a treat or two! Once you’ve won him over, he’s easy to handle, allows you to pick him up with arms under his belly, and will even show you his tummy when he’s feeling cozy and secure. He tends to be more comfortable with women but is affectionate and eager to bond once trust is built. With other dogs, Tan is friendly and social, happily approaching both familiar and unfamiliar pups to say hello or invite them to play. He especially gets along well with dogs his size or smaller, and although he’s not a fan of overly hyper dogs, he avoids conflict and walks away from trouble. Out on walks, Tan is focused on his human, even if a cat crosses his path—he’s more interested in your next step than chasing after anything. He has a moderate energy level, enjoying outdoor time and exercise, but knows how to relax and rest once he’s back inside. He walks beautifully on leash without pulling and listens well. Tan isn’t food possessive with people or other dogs and rarely barks. He’s calm in a crate, hops into and out of the car on his own, and prefers doing his business outside. He’s a well-mannered boy with a few extra pounds to lose, so he’s currently on a diet to get back to his healthiest self. Tan is the total package—sweet, smart, and ready to love. All he needs now is a home that won’t let him go. View more photos and videos on Facebook: Link to Post Does Tan sound like the right companion for you?

Hi there! My name is Anna, and I’m a 2-year-old bundle of love with a mix of Shiba Inu and Jindo in me. I was rescued just in time from a shelter where I was sadly scheduled for euthanasia, and now I’m patiently waiting for a fresh start — maybe with you! I’m a bright, open-hearted girl who loves people, even ones I’ve just met! I don’t hesitate to walk right up and say hello, showering new friends with affection. If you have treats, even better — they are my favorite thing! Treats help me bond quickly with new humans, so building a connection with me will be full of sweet moments and happy tail wags. I’m also a social butterfly with other dogs! I love to play and can easily adjust to group environments without stress. Whether it’s romping around with friends or just hanging out together, I know how to be a good companion. Right now, I’m used to doing my business both indoors and outdoors, so when I move to a new home, I might need a little extra guidance with potty training. But don’t worry — I’m still young, and with a little patience and encouragement, I’ll settle into a good routine in no time. I’m full of energy, love, and a huge heart just waiting for the right family to share it with If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, affectionate best friend to stand by your side, I’m ready to meet you. Please open your heart and home to me — I promise to fill your life with love and joy! 🐾 Love, Anna

Story
Quick Facts  Name: Bera Age: 10 years old Gender: Female  Neutered/Spayed: Yes  Breed: Shiba Inu  Color: Brown Weight: 7kg   All About MeHi, I’m Bera! I’m a 10-year-old Shiba Inu with a soft brown coat and a calm, independent personality. Weighing 7kg (15lb), I may be a senior, but I carry myself with quiet dignity. My journey led me to a shelter in Pyeongtaek, where I waited for someone to claim me. But when no one came, I was left with an uncertain future—until I was rescued. Now, I’m looking for a peaceful home where I can enjoy my golden years in comfort.   My PersonalityI am reserved and independent. I take my time warming up to people and don’t actively seek attention, but I also don’t mind human company. If you have treats, I’ll happily accept them, and once I feel comfortable, I’ll let you pet me. However, I don’t demand affection or constant engagement—I prefer a calm and quiet presence. Unlike many Shibas, I don’t have the typical “Shiba drama”—I am polite, composed, and gentle. I won’t create chaos in the home, and I prefer peaceful companionship over playful antics.   Social SkillsI am neutral toward other dogs. I don’t seek them out for play, and I prefer to be left alone rather than engage in social interactions. High-energy dogs can be a bit much for me, so I’d do best in a home with other calm pets or as the only dog. I haven’t been tested with cats, so my reaction to them is unknown.   Energy and ActivitiesI have a moderate energy level. I enjoy short walks and light outdoor activities, but I’m also happy to lounge and relax at home. I don’t require intense exercise—just a little movement each day to keep me happy. I walk well on a leash and follow my person without pulling. I’m a great companion for slow, relaxed walks where I can take my time exploring my surroundings.   Training and HabitsI do not guard my food from people, but I prefer to eat without other dogs nearby. If another dog gets too close while I’m eating, I may give a quiet warning growl to keep my space. I am fully house-trained and can use both pee pads and outdoor spaces for potty breaks. I am also kennel-trained and settle down easily when placed in a crate.   My Ideal HomeI would do best in a quiet, low-energy home where I can live at my own pace. I don’t need a home full of excitement or constant activity—I simply want a stable, predictable environment where I can feel safe and relaxed. If my new home has other pets, they should be respectful of my space since I prefer not to interact too much. However, I would also be happy as the only pet in a home where I receive gentle care and attention.   Special NotesI am a calm, independent, and easygoing companion who enjoys a peaceful lifestyle. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, quiet, and gentle dog, I might be the perfect fit. With patience and understanding, I will be a loyal and steady presence in your life.   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here!Bera's YouTube Playlist ##2342381##
