Story
Bentley is a sweet, gentle soul with a heart full of love. At 15 years young, he was surrendered due to medical needs, but despite his challenges, he remains a joyful and resilient companion. Bentley has a heart murmur, but after a visit to a cardiologist, he was diagnosed with degenerative valvular disease, which requires no treatment — a relief for Bentley and his future family! In addition to his heart, Bentley’s eyes are in need of some care. He is blind in both eyes and struggles with dry eye and cherry eye, but he’s not letting that slow him down. He recently saw an ophthalmologist, and with the right medication, he’s living life to the fullest. Bentley is incredibly patient when it comes to his daily eye treatments, and his future family will need to be comfortable administering them. Bentley is on the lookout for a warm, loving home where he can enjoy slow, peaceful walks and snuggle up in a cozy bed. If you're ready to offer Bentley the care and love he deserves, he’s ready to bring endless affection into your life.

Story
Romeo, Romeo, where art thou, Romeo? If you're searching for a handsome little guy to steal your heart, look no further! Romeo is a neutered male Shih Tzu with a sweet disposition to match his charming name. Romeo has a few health needs that require special care. He has allergies, which are managed with daily medication and a vegetarian diet. Since starting this routine, his skin has greatly improved, and we've even been able to reduce the frequency of his medicated baths. Romeo also has dry eye and will need daily eye drops long-term to keep him comfortable. This sweet boy enjoys walks, making friends with calm dogs, and sharing quality cuddle time. Once he's had his exercise, Romeo's ideal afternoon involves lounging on the couch next to his favorite human. Romeo needs a patient adopter who understands that building trust takes time. He requires a muzzle for applying topical medications until a bond of trust is established. With consistent, gentle care, Romeo will flourish into the loving companion he's meant to be. Romeo is looking for a dedicated and peaceful home where he can spend his golden years surrounded by love and comfort. Could that be with you? Romeo has a few health needs that require special care.

Story
This sweet dog sees with their heart and has so much love to give! Benji may not see with his eyes, but his other senses are on overdrive! He'll recognize you instantly by the sound of your voice and the unique scent of your hugs. This loving 2 year old Shhtzu mix is the most resilient, heart-filled pup you'll ever meet. He lost his eyes due to an untreated disease. But those days are behind him and now he has had vet treatment and is healthy, neutered and microchipped. From his wagging tail that never stops to his impressive "mapping" skills around the house, Benji is loving his foster siblings and home. His joy is unmatched, and he’ll bring you endless laughter and snuggles. He navigates his world with trust and confidence, reminding everyone around him to live in the moment. Blind dogs adapt quickly to a consistent and loving home. In return, the bond you build is an unbreakable connection built on pure trust. We have placed many blind dogs and are happy to connect you with other families for tips and support. If you're looking for a loyal, cuddly companion who will love you unconditionally, Benji is the one for you. Our preference is for a home with a fenced yard and another dog to help Benji learn the ropes. Please email us at c4ptoronto@gmail.com for an application and information.

 QUICK FACTS  Name: Juicy Age: 2 years old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Shih Tzu mix (potentially pug mix)  Color: White, Brown, Black Weight: 6kg / 13.2lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed    MY RESCUE STORY  I was once roaming the streets, doing my best to survive on my own. Thankfully, kind rescuers stepped in and gave me a chance at safety. Although that chapter didn’t last long, my story wasn’t over yet. My luck hadn’t run out—I’m now safe at a care facility, patiently waiting for the beautiful new chapter ahead with my forever family.    MY HEALTH  • All vaccinations up-to-date • Spayed & healthy with no health issues    MY PERSONALITY  I absolutely love people—and I’m even cuter in person! I may have given birth to five puppies, but I still have the sweetest baby face. I’m truly a people’s pup and thrive on human attention and affection. I have a big appetite and am very food-motivated, which makes me eager to learn and easy to train. One of my favorite games is playing chase—I love pretending you can’t quite catch me as I zoom around with excitement. It’s all part of my playful, joyful personality!    MY SOCIAL SKILLS  · With People: I love greeting new people and soaking up affection and pets! I’m comfortable being picked up and will even show my belly when we first meet—it’s my way of saying hello and showing trust. I haven’t had much experience with children under 13 yet, but with my friendly and gentle nature, I’m confident I would do well with dog-savvy, respectful kids. · With Dogs: I’m friendly with my dog friends too! I enjoy greeting new pups and love spending time playing with them. Playtime with my furry buddies is always one of the best parts of my day! · 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 love spending time outside for play and adventures, and afterwards, I enjoy cozying up inside for some well-deserved snuggles and relaxation.    TRAINING & HABITS  I walk nicely on leash and do a great job following my handler’s lead. I don’t guard my food around people or other dogs, and I know how to relax calmly in my kennel. I’m generally a very quiet girl, though I may give a little bark when I’m hoping for attention. I potty both indoors (using a pee pad) and outdoors like a good girl!    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 enjoys indoor and outdoor time together • A family that will love and cherish me forever    SPECIAL NOTES  I just know my perfect family is out there — one who will cherish me for the sweet, playful, and loving girl I am. I’m super cute (even cuter in person!), smart, and full of charm. I bring so much joy and personality wherever I go! One of my favorite games is playing chase — I’ll zoom around with the happiest little grin, just waiting for you to join in the fun. With me in your life, there will be endless laughter, love, and playful moments every single day!   Juicy's Youtube Playlist    Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org  For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2663496##

Story
Panda is 13 year old, 14 pound Shih tzu who came into our rescue when her owner passed away. Panda is a very sweet, calm girl who enjoys her walks, rides well in the car and loves to eat.  She can jump up on the couch but does not do the seven stairs up or down in her foster home. Panda is housetrained but will use a pee pad. She doesn’t seem to mind the snow but is not a fan of the rain or the very cold weather. Living with 3 other foster dogs Panda fits right in. She gets along with all the dogs and is very gentle when taking her treats.    We are still learning about Panda’s personality and how she adjusts to new situations.  So far it’s been an easy transition for her.   If you think Panda is the one for you, please fill in an application for our review.  January 28, 2026, 10:31 am
