Story
Hi, I’m Rian 💛I’m a 5-year-old boy, a Malamute–Husky mix, and I weigh about 23kg.I know… I look big and strong, maybe even a little cool.But if you get to know me, you’ll see—I’m actually just a big softie.I really, really love people.Even if we’ve just met, I might come right up to you like,“Hi… can we be friends?”I love being close to my person.Spending time together, making eye contact, sharing quiet moments…that’s what makes me feel safe and happy.Once I open my heart, I become very affectionate.I’ll want to stay near you, lean into you, and just be by your side as much as I can.I get along well with other dogs too!I have a gentle nature and enjoy playing, whether it’s with toys or with friends.I’m a bright, cheerful boy who just enjoys life and companionship.I was rescued from a place where my time was almost over…but I didn’t lose my trust in people.I still believe in love, and I’m still reaching out for it.I’m also a pretty quick learner!If you teach me with patience and consistency, I’ll do my best to understand and follow along.Because of my Malamute and Husky side, I do have lots of energy.I’ll need regular walks, exercise, and time to really let that energy out.A quick walk won’t always be enough—I’d love a family who enjoys being active with me.I can also have a little independent streak (maybe just a tiny bit stubborn sometimes… 😊),so I’ll need someone who can guide me with calm, steady leadership.Living in a home might be new for me,so I’ll need to learn things like house routines and potty habits from the beginning.But if you’re patient with me, I know I can become an amazing companion.I’m already ready to love someone with my whole heart.All I need now…is someone who will accept me, guide me,and stay with me for life.Will you be my person? 💛

Story
Hi… I’m Duri 🤍 Before I met kind people, I spent a long time on my own… without care, without warmth. I just endured each day the best I could. But things have changed now. I’ve been given a chance to start over— and I’m waiting for a family to share that new beginning with. Maybe… that could be you. People say I look strong and handsome. My thick fur, my clear eyes… sometimes I remind them of a brown husky. But what I really want you to see isn’t just how I look— It’s who I am. I like people. I really do. I’ll come up to you first, gently, hoping to connect. I enjoy being close, sharing quiet moments, feeling like I belong. I also get along well with other dogs. Being around friends feels natural to me, and I’m comfortable sharing space and energy with them. Inside me, I carry something special— the calm loyalty of an Akita, and the intelligence and quick learning of a Jindo. That means when I bond with you… it won’t be shallow. It will be deep. Steady. Unbreakable. But I’m still learning. Living in a home is new to me. Things like potty training, daily routines, and how to behave indoors—these are things you’ll need to teach me, step by step. Because I’m a strong and active dog, I’ll also need guidance on walks and basic manners. I want to do well—I just need someone to show me how. In the beginning, I might seem a little unsure. A new place, a new life… it can feel overwhelming. But if you stay patient, consistent, and kind with me, I will find my balance. I’m not a difficult dog— but I am a dog who needs understanding. Someone who won’t just “have” me, but will truly live with me. Teach me. Connect with me. If you can do that… I promise you something rare. A bond built on trust. A loyalty that doesn’t fade. A companion who stands by you, no matter what. I’ve already come so far from where I started. Now I just need a place to finally belong. No more loneliness. Just warmth… and you. Will you be my forever family? 🤍

Story
🏠 Currently in a Toronto foster homeSamuel is a 2-year 11-month-old male Samoyed-Jindo mix, weighing 18.7 kg. At just six months old, Samuel was placed on the euthanasia list at a city shelter along with his sibling, Yuel. Thankfully, they were both rescued, and he is now staying at our training center, slowly regaining his trust in people and desperately hoping to start a new life with his forever family.Samuel’s personality is very gentle and non-aggressive. However, due to his traumatic past, he tends to be wary of strangers and takes time to warm up to new people. When he first arrived at our training center, he was very shy, but after a few days, he gradually opened up and revealed his naturally sweet and affectionate personality.Because he does not easily approach unfamiliar people and will require ample time and patience to adjust, extra care should be taken during walks to prevent any escape attempts, and household entryways should be securely managed until he fully bonds with his new family.Like a typical Jindo mix, Samuel has an independent streak. However, he also strongly exhibits the Samoyed’s affectionate nature and responsiveness to human connection. Once he builds trust, he expresses deep affection.Samuel gets along well with other dogs and has formed a particularly strong bond with his sibling, Yuel. Since they have spent so much time together, he may experience separation anxiety if they are apart, and this should be considered when adopting.He currently goes outside for bathroom breaks three times a day and enjoys running freely with his canine friends in the exercise yard. However, during the adjustment period in a new home, occasional accidents may occur. Once he settles in, he should quickly adapt to an outdoor potty routine again.It is recommended to start taking him on walks only after he has bonded with his new family. Due to his Jindo mix heritage, he has a strong homing instinct. If he is suddenly taken far away or travels by plane, he may become confused and instinctively try to find his way back home. To prevent this, walks should only begin after he fully recognizes his adopter as family. Even then, a double leash or harness is essential for safety.Samuel still carries emotional scars from his traumatic past and may be shy and cautious at first. However, for those that are willing to endure that initial period and patiently wait for his trust, Samuel will become the most loyal and loving lifelong companion.

Story
🏠 Currently in a Vancouver foster homeCotton is a 10-month-old Samoyed–Spitz mix weighing around 10kg, with fluffy fur and the sweetest smiling face. True to the name “Cotton,” this beautiful pup has a soft, warm presence that instantly melts hearts. The way Cotton looks up at people with a wagging tail and bright eyes makes it impossible not to fall in love.Cotton was rescued from a city shelter just before euthanasia. Despite experiencing such a difficult start at such a young age, Cotton has never lost trust in people. This pup is incredibly affectionate, gentle, and full of bright energy. Cotton absolutely loves human companionship and is happiest simply being near people — following them around, asking for attention, and greeting everyone with excitement and love.Cotton also gets along very well with other dogs. With a friendly and easygoing personality, this pup adapts well to social environments and could do wonderfully in a home with another dog companion. However, Cotton is still very much a puppy. At only 10 months old and currently around 10kg, there is still plenty of growing left to do. Future adopters should keep in mind that Cotton may continue to grow both in size and strength as maturity approaches.Most importantly, Cotton has never experienced life in a real home before. Having grown up in a shelter environment, everyday routines such as house training, leash manners, learning to stay home alone, and understanding household rules are all still new experiences. Like any young puppy, Cotton may have accidents, bursts of energy, playful curiosity, and moments of clumsy learning along the way.These are not “problem behaviors,” but simply part of growing up and learning about the world. Cotton needs a family who understands that patience, guidance, and consistency are essential during this stage of life. With love and time, Cotton will grow into an incredibly loyal and loving companion who bonds deeply with the people trusted most.Cotton is the kind of dog who shines brighter the more love is given. This sweet pup brings warmth, joy, and happy energy wherever they go. Still young, playful, and full of life, Cotton is waiting for a family who will cherish not only the beautiful appearance, but also the tender heart behind those smiling eyes. Once, Cotton almost lost the chance at life. Now, this special pup is hoping to find a forever family who will never let go again 🤍
