Meet Hodol❤️ 💙 Adogs Center Updates: @_adogs_ 💙 Hodol's News Account: @hodol_imbo 1.) Health Condition * Neutered. * Microchipped. 2.) Rescue Story * Hodol was living at the Gimje City Shelter. He was waiting at the shelter with a smile on his face despite the weather getting colder, but no one stepped up to adopt him. The shelter had poor conditions, with infectious diseases spreading and poor heating, so Adogs urgently rescued him. 3.) Basic Information ❗️As a puppy, he may need training in areas such as separation anxiety, potty habits, biting, nipping, whining, disorderly behaviors, howling and barking. ❗️It is difficult to predict his shedding and growth size because his parents are unknown. * With People: Is a little shy but is docile and stays in your arms when picked up. Once he becomes familiar with someone, he wags his tail like a helicopter and runs around happily just seeing them come near. Looks comfortable, often resting by your side or grabbing a toy and making himself at home. Gets a bit jealous when you pet other dogs, so he nudge his way in for some affection. * With Dogs: Is never defensive with new friends and always ready to play. * With Cats: Hasn’t met them yet. * Separation Anxiety: Stays relaxed and sleeps in his spot even when alone without separation anxiety. Is perfectly fine staying with strangers, playing and spending time with them without any issues. * Potty Training: Has a 100% success rate on pee pads. For stools, he hits the target 50% of the time and the other 50% are usually just off the edge of the pad. * Hygiene: Accepts brushing well without resistance. Finds drying a bit uncomfortable, but he handles it well without any trouble. Although he doesn’t like it, he’s docile while getting his nails trimmed with his belly-side up. .* Walks: Hasn’t been on walks since his vaccinations aren’t complete. * Car Sickness: Didn’t show signs of car sickness even during long trips lasting more than 3 hours. * Since he’s still a teething puppy, he has a habit of nipping at hands or feet, which is easily managed with wood, sticks, chews and tug play. * Whines or barks for attention during guardian’s mealtime but he settles down quickly if s/he ignores it. * Has a great appetite and loves food. * Gets scared if picked up suddenly, but he’s fine if you support his hindquarters while lifting. Since he hasn’t had much experience going for walks yet, he gets quite nervous when outside. * Is great at 'sit,' and 'wait.'

THIS IS A COURTESY POST. PLEASE CONTACT THE PERSON OR GROUP LISTED BELOW. THIS IS NOT A LOVED AT LAST DOG.  Please do NOT submit an application through LALDR. Please contact Dede at info@tofinoyoga.com  for more information or to adopt. Hi everyone, I am the charming and cuddly Cohen and here's some information about me: Name: CohenAge: 5 yearsBreed: Akita | Husky | Shepherd mixWeight: 85-90 lbs Do not let my size fool you, my heart is even bigger than I am! People refer to me as a gentle giant who loves to cuddle, relax, and lounge. I also enjoy swimming, exploring, walking the beach here in Tofino, meeting friends, and soaking up the coastal life! I am gentle with kids of all ages, but I am naturally active and high energy, so will need some supervision around toddlers to curb my enthusiam! Cuddles and affection are my love languages and I can easily become a lapdog if you'll allow it. I do however have manners and will get off the couch if asked. Being alone at home is no problem as I have been crate trained. In general I am quiet and respectful, but after all I am still a dog and will sneak a treat if it's within range.  I do well on leash with a collar or harness and love to hang out with my dog friends during my weekly dog walk. The husky and I in my foster home have become true besties and I was happy to let the Chiweenie in my previous home call the shots. Off leash, I am well socialized, reading cues from oter dogs and always chosing to avoid conflict, no problem! I do however need a bit of space when I am on leash  meeting new people and dogs. A confident handler using positive reinforcement has helped me work on that.  I am not too sure about cats though, especially a few outdoor cats I met on our walks. With patience, consistency and treats from my trainers, we have worked on my anxiety, social skills and recall. They say that I have grown so much over time and that I will make a truly special companion for a loving and stable home. Regular exercise and affection are my two most important needs. With these I will thrive in my new home! I'm looking for a home that understands my need for space during introductions and is committed to continuing the positive reinforcement that’s helped me grow. I can't wait to be your loyal companion, sharing all my love, charm, and cuddles. I am fully house trained, neutered, microchipped, and my shots are up to date (last vet visit in August). I'm a healthy, happy fellow, eager to be part of a new loving family. An adoption fee of $100 applies. THIS IS A COURTESY POST. PLEASE CONTACT THE PERSON OR GROUP LISTED BELOW.

🌲 We are looking for an outdoorsy family for him 🌲 🌲 Hi! I’m Freddy — your future adventure buddy 🤍 First things first: yes, I do make the funniest faces… and my goofy expressions are truly to die for. I’m a young, playful pup at heart; a 3 year old, 50 lb Husky full of curiosity, sweetness, and heart melting head tilts. For a long time, I waited in a shelter. Day after day. Watching. Hoping. Treats were my bright spots. When someone offered one, my whole world lit up and I could imagine, just for a moment, what it might feel like to belong. After months of waiting, I was finally rescued by the wonderful folks at PawesomeBaby Rescue! Now I’m in a loving foster home, showing everyone what a good boy I truly am. I love to play - with humans, with other young and playful dogs, and with anyone who’s ready to have a little fun. I have a goofy personality, a joyful spirit, and I bring smiles wherever I go. Playtime, cuddle time, and shared adventures are my favorite things. I also have an overbite jaw that makes me only even more cuter! I’m potty trained at my foster homes, and gentle and kind with people, kids, and other dogs. I have lived peacefully with a husky foster sister and taken her corrections like a polite gentleman. No guarding, no aggression — just love and curious learning. I also did great around the little humans in my foster homes. I do have a true Husky heart though, and I’d thrive with a family who loves the outdoors. Walks are my favorite! I’m curious, alert, and love exploring the world one sniff at a time. Adventures, hikes, neighborhood strolls, beach walks, I’m ready for all of it, right by your side. I can be your one-and-only adventure buddy or share my life with a friendly young fur sibling. Either way, I love having companionship and being part of the action — not left alone :) This holiday season, I’m wishing for more than toys or treats. I’m wishing for a forever family; one that laughs at my silly expressions, plays with me, takes me on adventures, and loves me just as I am. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful soul with a goofy adventurous spirit… I’m ready to come home. 🤍 Please contact my rescue family PawesomeBaby ✨🐾 —————————————————————————- About Freddy: —————————————————————————- • Age: approx 3-4 yr • Weighs 50 lb • Neutered, up to date on vaccines (Rabies, DHPP, Lepto, Bordetella), dewormed. • He has a cute little overbite. • Potty trained at foster home. • People friendly - He is friendly and playful with humans, big and small. • Dog friendly - He is friendly with playful, friendly dogs, big and small.

Please contact to schedule a meetup! His adoption fee is USD 400 (CAD 500). We charge an adoption fee for our precious dogs, to make sure they go to a good home who can afford caring for them as a family member. Dog ownership is a lifetime commitment of over 10-15 yrs. Training: —————- Like a typical husky, he doesn’t enjoy being alone. He can get bored and mischievous. But he has been good if he has his humans or fur siblings around. Training Resources: ————————————— Regardless of who you adopt, we recommend training your pup regularly, to build an everlasting bond with your pup and help them continue to be an amazing canine citizen. We can provide a list of reputable trainers who use positive reinforcement methods to help you establish a training protocol with your newly adopted furbaby. —————————————————————————- [IMPORTANT] —————————————————————————- Below listed requirements are for any dogs we adopt out, meant for everyone’s safety. • If you have other dogs, then you must also be knowledgeable and have good hands on experience with running a multi-dog home to be able to adopt a dog from us. What’s expected of the adopter is just keeping basic house rules like (1) keep the dogs apart when feeding, monitor & put away left over food, (2) help them build mutual trust before leaving alone with treats, toys around (3) keep dogs out of kitchen when handling food etc • As with any dog, earn their trust around food handling. This is an essential training for every dog, so they learn to trust their new human. It takes only a couple of practice sessions around meal time with most dogs with no history of food guarding. Teaching to sit, then hand-feeding food & high value treats is one of the best ways to earn trust. • If you have children at home, they should be at least 8+ yrs, and know to safely & respectfully interact with dogs, to be considered for adoption. We think families with younger children will likely not have the time needed to exercise and nourish a new dog. And the time needed to train little kids to safely interact with dogs, read their body language & respect their personal space. Most dogs do not enjoy little ones clinging to them, pulling their fur, crawling or lying on them. We do not want to risk the safety of neither your child nor our dog. Follow @dogmeets_baby trainer on Instagram to learn more on this topic :-) Of course, we understand there are exceptions and some parents are on top with this. Please contact us if you are one of those exceptional parents :) • We discourage the use of choke, pinch, prong collars on our dogs. Training to walk on a well fitted no-pull harness is encouraged. All our dogs come with a “no-pull” harness. If needed, you can use humane collars like regular buckle collars, martingale collars or ‘gentle leader’. For adoption process details, check out PawesomeBaby.com and send us a message here. Thank you for considering to adopt a husky in need. God bless!

Elsa is a 1-year-old female Wolfdog, weighing 23kg. She was rescued just in time from a shelter where she was at risk of euthanasia. Now, she’s looking for a loving family who will give her the life she deserves. Elsa is full of energy, curiosity, and love, making every day an adventure! Personality & Behavior Elsa is a bright and affectionate girl who absolutely adores people. She expresses her excitement with joyful jumps when greeting her favorite humans. While this is endearing, she already understands the "sit" command, so with consistent training, she can learn to greet politely. Elsa thrives on human interaction and will form a deep bond with her owner through love, training, and patience. She is still learning how to socialize with other dogs properly. While she is not aggressive, she needs time and guidance to build confidence in dog interactions. Currently, she is undergoing training to help her navigate social situations with other pups. With continued support, she will improve and learn to play in a balanced way. Activity & Training Needs As a Wolfdog, Elsa is naturally athletic and has impressive jumping ability. She needs an active lifestyle with plenty of exercise to stay happy and well-behaved. A daily routine of long walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime will help her burn off energy and settle calmly at home. She is currently in training, where she follows a structured routine that includes three outdoor exercise sessions a day for potty breaks and play. If her new family maintains a similar schedule, Elsa will quickly adjust to her new home. Elsa is an intelligent dog who picks up training quickly. She already knows "sit" and is learning to wait calmly for treats. With consistent training, she has the potential to learn many more commands and become a well-mannered companion. The Perfect Home for Elsa Elsa will thrive in a home with: ✔️ An active family who enjoys outdoor activities ✔️ Someone committed to training and bonding with her ✔️ Experience with large dogs (or a willingness to learn) Elsa is young and still learning, but she is full of potential. With love, patience, and the right training, she will grow into a loyal and devoted companion. If you’re looking for a smart, energetic, and affectionate dog to share adventures with, Elsa is waiting for you!
