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 name and mean it for life.

Story

🏠 Currently in a Seattle foster home 🧡 Hi, I'm Milo 🧡 Age: 1 year Breed: Jindo-Shiba Mix Sex: Male Weight: 8kg (just under 18 lbs) I may be fully grown, but I’m a little guy with a big heart—and I’m ready to fill your home with love, one pawstep at a time. People say I look like a little teddy bear, with my soft brown fur and round eyes that are always full of curiosity. I’m small, sweet, and full of quiet charm. You might never guess it from my gentle looks, but I’ve already been through a lot in my short life. I was once on a euthanasia list… but I was saved just in time. Since then, I’ve only known shelter life. A real home? I’ve never had one. But I’m hoping that’s about to change—with you. Because I’ve never lived in a house, I haven’t learned all the rules yet—especially when it comes to potty training. I’m not used to going inside or outside properly, so I’ll need your help learning a routine from scratch. If you gently guide me to the same spot after meals, naps, and playtime—and reward me with yummy treats when I get it right—I’ll catch on quickly. If I make mistakes, please don’t scold me. Just quietly clean up and help me try again. I really want to learn! At first, I might be a little unsure around new people. I don’t trust easily, but not because I don’t want to—it’s just that I’ve never really known what it means to feel safe. That said, I’m very curious, and I love food (especially treats from your hand!). Give me a bit of time, and you’ll see me coming over on my own, asking for pets and showing you my soft, cuddly side. Sometimes sudden movements or unfamiliar touches might startle me, so it’s best to approach slowly at first—low posture, calm energy, and of course… snacks! With your patience and kindness, I’ll learn that hands mean love, not fear. When it’s time for walks, I do best with a chest harness and a backup leash for safety—two points of security, just in case. Quiet streets are my favorite for now. With gentle exposure and encouragement, I’ll slowly grow more confident exploring the world by your side. I know I’m not perfect. I still have so much to learn. But now is the perfect time to teach me. I’m young, open-hearted, and so eager to bond. With love, patience, and a calm guiding hand, I’ll grow into a polite, loyal companion who brings joy to your everyday life. I’ve lived my life behind shelter walls—but I’m ready to trade that for warm beds, gentle walks, and a forever family to call my own. Could that family be you? With hope in my eyes and love in my little heart, Milo 🐾

Story

🏠 Currently in a Vancouver foster home Hi, I’m Tanya 🤍 Let me tell you my story as I wait for my forever family. I was rescued from a shelter where euthanasia was imminent. With only a short time left, a miracle happened—and I was given a second chance at life. The bright, affectionate dog you see today exists because of that precious second miracle. I’m a loving girl who truly enjoys being close to people. I’m curious, cheerful, and full of warmth. When I get excited, I have short bursts of playful “zoomies,” but overall I have a calm and well-balanced energy. I have a pretty regular potty routine—about three times a day (around 8 a.m., 3 p.m., and 7 p.m.). I can do both indoor and outdoor potty, and I usually use pads in my resting area. I’m not perfect yet, so a little continued potty training would help me shine even more. I eat twice a day and have been enjoying Royal Canin Medium kibble mixed with fresh Duet meals. I have a great appetite and love treats of all kinds! Because I do love food a bit too much, it’s best to keep human food safely out of reach. I’m very cooperative when it comes to grooming. I tolerate paw cleaning after walks, tooth brushing, baths, and even drying—none of them are my favorite, but I stay calm and patient. Nail trims have been done at the vet so far. I’m friendly and social with dogs of all sizes and get along well in group settings. On walks, I might pull a little if I see cats or big birds out of curiosity, but I haven’t shown any aggression toward cats. I bond deeply with my person and love staying close—I even prefer sleeping together. With strangers, I tend to warm up faster to women than men, but once I feel safe, my affection comes through. I walk nicely on leash with little pulling, though I sometimes circle around my person, so a shorter leash helps with control. I’m comfortable wearing both a collar and a harness. Stairs going down are still tricky for me, so I need to be carried, but going up is no problem at all. I love toys, especially squeaky ones—they’re my absolute favorite! I don’t have separation anxiety and can spend time alone calmly and confidently. I love human warmth. I understand the joy of living together. Once so close to the end, I’m now waiting for a family to share my whole life with. Will you be my forever family? 🐾

Story

Meet Syrah! Syrah is a smart, confident, and active pup looking for a family who can keep up with her sharp mind and independent spirit. She shows classic Shiba Inu–type traits: affectionate on her own terms, loyal as long as you’re in sight, and happily self-assured. She’s very intelligent and highly trainable—already walks well on a leash, knows “sit,” and even rings a bell to ask for water. Syrah enjoys a challenge and loves enrichment, especially her Kong. She does test boundaries and has some alpha tendencies, so she’ll thrive with confident, consistent leadership. Syrah would do best in an active home with structure, enrichment, and time spent outdoors—her favorite place is the backyard soaking up fresh air alongside her people. With the right family, Syrah will be a fun, engaging, and deeply rewarding companion.

Story

🏠Currently in a Toronto foster home Hi, I’m Cici — and I can’t wait to meet my forever family. 🤎 I’m a 3-year-old Jindo–Shiba mix girl with a strong, healthy 16.8kg body and an even stronger heart. I was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Korea — a place where my story almost ended before it truly began. But I got a second chance, and now I’m living safely in a foster home in Toronto, hoping the next part of my journey leads me straight into your arms. I love people. Really, truly love them. Even when I meet someone for the first time, I open my heart right away — wagging my tail, smiling, and gently asking for affection. I’m the type who likes to stay close, make eye contact, and share warm moments of connection. People say I have a very soft, loving soul. On walks, I get a little excited and may pull on the leash, but I’m practicing and getting better every day. I adjust quickly to new places and sounds, so everyday life with me is easy and fun. I also get along well with other dogs. I do have one thing to keep in mind: when I see small animals like cats or birds, my curiosity kicks in and I want to chase them. So in a home with different kinds of pets, I would need careful management. I’m a healthy eater, a bright and gentle girl, and I’ve been told more than once that I’m pretty adorable too. Just being near me, people say they feel warm — maybe that’s my special charm. Right now, I’m waiting for a forever family who will love me completely. Once I give my heart, I love deeply and for life. Please adopt me, and let me bring love, warmth, and joy into your home. 🤎

Hi! My name is Blue, and I came all the way from South Korea in hopes of finding my forever family. I’m a 3-year-old Shiba Inu mix boy, weighing about 13 lbs — small, spirited, and ready to start fresh. (My age and weight are estimated.) I was saved from a high-kill shelter in South Korea, where many dogs never get the chance to know comfort or love. Now, I’m ready for a brand-new beginning filled with kindness, safety, and a place to finally call home. I’ve traveled a long way to get here, and I’m so hopeful for my next chapter.
