Story
Current Location: Korea 🇰🇷 ♡ 🧡 Meet Ma-eum A gentle soul learning to love again Ma-eum spent his early years tied outside on a farm, living in fear. He was abused by a male owner and frightened by children who threw balls at him. Because of that, he is still afraid of men, loud playground sounds, and the sight of bouncing toys. But despite all this, Ma-eum has the gentlest heart. For the past two years, he has been living in a patient and loving foster home. He has made slow, steady progress — on his terms — and is now ready for the next chapter of his life. 🧬 Personality Ma-eum is a quiet, thoughtful boy with a soft energy. He feels safest around gentle women with warm voices, and he truly thrives in calm, peaceful homes. He may keep his distance from men indoors, but sometimes shows more courage when outdoors. He isn’t the kind of dog who will run into your arms — but with time and patience, he’ll follow you anywhere. He enjoys peaceful walks, nosework games, gentle pets, and long naps by your side. He doesn't bark much, and he waits quietly when left alone after a short adjustment. 🏡 At Home ✅ House-trained (prefers peeing on vertical surfaces — his foster can provide wall-to-floor pads) ✅ Good with calm dogs (interested and social but may growl at overly excited dogs) ✅ Neutral to cats (no strong prey drive) ✅ Tolerates children (nervous around fast movements but never aggressive) ✅ Excellent in the car ✅ Loves brushing and gentle touch 🚫 Afraid of balls and squeaky toys — he prefers games with treats instead 💛 Ma-eum is looking for… A family who will let him set the pace. Someone who doesn’t expect instant cuddles but understands how meaningful it is when a shy dog chooses to stay close. Ideally, a female adopter or a quiet household with gentle energy. 📦 Foster home can provide pee pad setup 📍 Adoption includes interview & home check 📩 If Ma-eum’s story touched your heart, we’d love to tell you more. He’s been waiting a long time for someone who sees past the fear — and into his true, beautiful heart

Story
Pelusa | 40 lbs | 2 years old| Fun and affectionate personality | GTA Stop scrolling-- you just found your new best friend. And the twist? She's gorgeous! Pelusa is fun, affection and good vibes on four legs. Do you like adventures? Omg same! Do you enjoy playing with toys, balls, and sticks? Say less. Are you partial to an evening snuggle? Sign her up! Are you interested in having a faithful shadow? Is it cool if she's furry? We've got just the girl. Pelusa is a delight. She gives hugs by wrapping her arms around your legs, plays with toys like it's her paid job, and is game for pretty much anything her family wants to do. She is great on hikes and outdoor adventures, could happily come with you to pet friendly workplaces, and is also happy to chill on the couch at the end of the day. She's confident and adaptable, and responds well to direction. If you love dogs, have an active lifestyle, and are open to a loyal and slightly goofy sidekick, then this dog could light up your whole life. She's so much fun that she makes everything better just by being there. She would do well with a person or family who is energetic and home a fair bit. She's dog friendly so she'd be a great second dog, but is probably a little TOO much fun for a senior or a lower energy dog. She's kid friendly but would prefer a house with children over 10 who can appreciate her bouncy, lovable brand of play. With Pelusa in your life, your main problem will be how often you're stopped by admiring her beautiful looks and infectious personality. This is what you sign up for when you choose such a magnetic BFF! If you think you've got the big and open heart to match Pelusa's, then please apply at the link. Please note: Matching Best Friends sweaters are not included.: https://form.jotform.com/pawsacrossthewater/adoption-application

Story
ALL ABOUT ME Name: Luna Age: 1 year old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Border Collie-Jindo Mix Colour: White Weight: 12kg / 26.4lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY Hi, I’m Luna — a gentle, elegant girl with a quiet spirit and a big heart. I was rescued from the euthanasia list at the Busan City Shelter. Thanks to my rescuers, I’m now safe and well-cared for. What I need next is a forever home filled with calm, love, and the warmth of human connection.   MY HEALTH No known health issues   MY PERSONALITY I have the soft grace of a Border Collie — calm, intelligent, and quietly affectionate. I love being around people and enjoy outdoor time, but I settle just as easily indoors. I don’t need to be the center of attention — just near you is enough. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or a shared moment of eye contact, I bring peace wherever I go. I bond deeply and love quietly — I may not be loud, but I’m unforgettable.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS With People: I’m incredibly affectionate and polite. I approach both new and familiar people with gentle confidence, happily accepting pets and cuddles. I lean in close, make loving eye contact, and quietly melt into your arms. I’m calm, well-mannered, and deeply connected to the people I love. With Dogs: I’m friendly and social, especially with dogs my size. I enjoy calm play and respectful greetings. If another dog is aggressive or overwhelming, I prefer to walk away — no drama here. High-energy dogs can be a bit much for me, so I’d do best with calm or moderate-energy playmates. With Cats: I haven’t lived with cats yet, but given my gentle nature, I would likely adjust well with a slow and proper introduction.   ENERGY AND ACTIVITIES I have a moderate energy level — just the right mix of outdoor enjoyment and indoor calm. I enjoy going for walks and taking in the world around me. I may pull a little on the leash out of excitement, but I listen well and follow my handler’s guidance. Sudden noises might make me nervous, but I recover quickly with reassurance.   TRAINING & HABITS I don’t guard my food and eat peacefully around others I rest calmly in my kennel I rarely bark — I’m a peaceful presence in the home I’m mostly potty-trained and do well with outdoor bathroom routines I’m eager to keep learning with patience and positive reinforcement   MY IDEAL HOME I’d love a gentle, loving family who appreciates quiet companionship and emotional connection. My ideal home would include:   A calm, low-stress environment where I can truly relax People who enjoy soft cuddles, nature walks, and peaceful days A secure space where I feel safe, respected, and part of the family Ideally a home with another friendly, calm dog — but I’m also content as your one-and-only   SPECIAL NOTES I’m not the loudest dog in the room — but I’m one of the most loyal. I bring a soft, healing energy that’s hard to describe but easy to feel. I’m elegant, intuitive, and gentle to the core. If you’re looking for a best friend who will walk beside you through calm and quiet moments, I’m right here waiting for you. ##2559291##
