Story
Meet Imp! She is lovely girl rescued by our team from High-kill shelter in Korea. She gave birth to his babies in the shelter. Behaviours from the previous foster: She is so gentle that she doesn’t bark at all and doensn’t have any aggressive behaviours. She loves walking and meeting her friends and She loves her hooman so much. She likes to be pat - especially on her butt – and always sleeps besides her hooman. She is doing her job out doors- moving her bowels. She is not a big fan of showering but she seems to bear it- She is so patient. We haven’t found any separation anxieties so far, She seems to be beyond happy when the owners come back home though. She is a little bit timid that she is afraid of some scary noise like vacuum cleaner, plastic bottle and so on. She has so much love in her. Be her loving family and she will be with you and adores you forever. Allergy/health issues: She has motion sickness. So It will help her if you let her doing her job_moving her bowels_ and keep her stomach empty before gettinng a car. *Please send all inquiries to @everlove8282. *Please submit your applications through the application form on our Instagram profile!

Story
**He is currently in Seattle** Mukgoo is about 5 years old. He was found near an army base in Korea and immigrated to America around the age of 1 on President’s Day of 2020. He is an incredibly smart and lovable dog. He is kind and loves people (loves dogs and people). He will eat almost anything (except veggies). He can be a jumper when he gets very excited. He prefers households with another dog and a big yard to run around in but it’s not a non-negotiable. He has always adjusted well to whatever the circumstance. Overall, he’s a good dog and he’s got a lot of love to give. I’m having to give him up due to being unable to raise him in my current life stage. In no way, this is due to any bad behaviors or anything. He’s a really kind-hearted and sweet dog. Likes - He loves playing fetch (quickest way to his heart), rolling in the grass, puppycinos, ice cream, snow, people, dogs - Historically has liked lamb, fish skin, salmon, bully sticks, dental sticks, sweet potato, etc. In general, he loves to eat~ - Very social and prefers to greet other dogs and people, including dog parks, doggy day cares Dislikes - He dislikes bath but who does - He doesn’t like being alone but can manage a few hours if needed - No longer is a fan of veggies - Fireworks and big noises Things to Watch out for - Throwing up: If you let him freely eat grass, he’ll throw up. When he feels stressed, he can react by throwing up. - He can be independent when he is fixated on things. Just be patient with him and he will come back to focus on you. He is a people pleaser. - He rarely barks. He may bark when other dogs bark but even that is rare. He is more of a whiner. If he needs to let you know something, he will whine. - Not a counter surfer but can be if you let him Commands He knows his basic commands (sit, down, hand, etc.) and is open to learning new ones as well. Potty He is used to peeing and pooing outside. Once you create a regular spot and time for him, it’s clockwork. Otherwise, just be aware when he whines that it may be time to go. - At a high level, he knows “go potty” and “go poo” as a sign to go to the bathroom - He will rarely go pee or poo inside the home. Once in a million tries, a thing like that can happen during the night but he’s really sorry when he does. Leash He has never been fully off-leash, only in areas that condone it (home, backyard, dog park, etc.). He is not one to go off-leash and run away. He’ll run around and try to have you play with him. Keep him on a short leash if you need to focus on walking as he can veer away due to his interest in sniffing. Once on a short leash, he’ll understand and walk along. However, give him time to sniff as he is very curious with smells. Sleep He can sleep together or on his own if you’re in a different room or floor. He is also loves to cuddle up as well. When there’s fireworks, it’s recommended you sleep where he sees you because he’s afraid of the loud sounds. Food He is on one meal a day. If you give him two meals a day, he may not eat the first meal. Snacks though he loves. He knows how to sit and wait for food. He is currently on Costco’s salmon and sweet potato meal.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to Vancouver & Toronto💟 Meet Hyunmi💕 (It means brown rice in Korean) * With People: Is friendly with people, but is a little shy! Will wag his tail in greeting, but is surprised if you try to touch him too quickly. When you pick him up, he's happy to be picked up, and he'll sit back and relax with his tail wagging. Recently, he’s become more comfortable with human touch. Shows his belly when people approach or pet him. * With Dogs: Is a scaredy-cat so he stares at new dogs at a distance rather than approaching them. Gets along well with familiar dogs and loves to lie down and play with his close friends! Plays rambunctiously with his foster sibling. * Separation Anxiety: Is good at being alone, and time flies by when he’s with other dog friends. Is awkward if left alone with new people, but accepts treats and rests. * Potty Training: He mostly goes outdoors, but when he does go indoors, he uses the toilet rather than a pad. * Hygiene: Takes both baths and grooming very well. * Walks: Is good at walking with his guardian and other dogs. Is practicing basic commands such as ‘wait’ and ‘come.’ He sometimes gets stiff and stops when cars and motorcycles pass by on walks alone, so just pick him up and move him somewhere else and he's good to go again! * Car sickness: Doesn't have a big problem with short car rides! 💟 Special Notes💟 * Has mastered "sit," "lie down," "wait," and "turn around." * Is somewhat timid and may squeal when startled by rough play. Is afraid of sudden loud noises. Foster's IG : @adogs_hyunme

Story
Meet Mary Ann and Ginger, an adorable bonded pair of medium-sized rescue dogs who are searching for their forever home. These super cute girls have spent their entire lives on their own until they were recently rescued. Despite their rough beginnings, Mary Ann and Ginger are incredibly sweet and are now learning to enjoy the comforts of a loving home. Both Mary Ann and Ginger get along wonderfully with other dogs, though they haven't had the chance to meet any cats yet. They need a patient adopter who will give them the time and space they need to adjust to their new surroundings and discover the joys of being cherished pets. Ginger, who bravely underwent heartworm treatment, is now healthy and heartworm negative. Both dogs are fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and on preventatives. They even tolerate baths and absolutely love being petted. Currently, Mary Ann and Ginger are being fostered in Seguin, TX, where they are receiving the care and love they deserve. If you have a kind heart and a gentle hand, these two sweethearts will surely reward you with endless affection and loyalty. Adopt Mary Ann and Ginger and give them the loving home they've always dreamed of.

Story
Quick Facts! Name: Cookie Age: 6 years old Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Collie Jindo mix Colour: Golden beige Weight: 18 kg My Story:Hello world! My name is Cookie and I'm currently 6 years old. When you first see me, you'll just love the way I look. I have collie's narrow head shape with silky golden-beige coat. Too bad I can't show off my appearance now, but please do check my YouTube link attached (don't forget to "Like" and "Subscribe" our channel heehee!) for details! You'll just fall in love with me. Did you know that I love hooman and furry friends? I just love everyone!!! Although I'm crate-trained, when you open the crate, I often jump and run only because I'm just so happy all the time. I'm full of curiosity, energy (not too much though), and love to greet new friends. Yes. I love socializing! When I meet new friends I usually approach them first. For hoomans, when I first meet them, I get so excited that I jump up and down. But don't get me wrong. This doesn't mean I'm being aggressive. So please be patient with me. I'm sure I can improve if you train me. Many hoomans describe me as an intelligent dog and I totally agree with it! It must be my collie DNA or something as I can easily tell how hoomans feel. I think I'm born with it. So again, if you train me, I know I'll be a good companion. Cats? What's that? I don't even know who they are and I have no idea how I'll react when I see them. I enjoy outdoor activities, especially long-walks and hiking as I'm a good walker. It takes a lot of my energy so when I come home, I like to sit and rest peacefully. I usually don't bark and stay nicely in a crate. I also don't guard my food against hoomans and furry friends. I generally take my potty break outside. When I visit new places, I tend to mark so please keep that in mind. I can still remember my first time entering my shelter back in 2018. I was a skinny little puppy and it's already been 6 years ever since! Despite my time in the shelter, many hoomans say "Cookie is a great, calm dog." I'm so ready to bring warmth and joy to your home! If you're looking for a sweet, loving, and clever companion, I'm the one! Let's make some wonderful memories together For more videos:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLOMJUT-1hs&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JzQWukc8poUanRSx8kxW6kd ##2260935##

Story
Quick Facts Name: Seolgi Age: 4 years old Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Jindo mix Colour: Ivory Weight: 14.5kg Heartworm: Treated January 3, 2024 Me & Humans Welcome to my profile page everyone. This is Seolgi, a 4 year old Jindo mix boy, weighing 14.5kg. When you first see me, I will probably catch your attention with my appearance. Although I am Jindo mix, I rather look like a mix of Labrador Retriever and Pitbull with a clean ivory coat. Before I got rescued, I was on the leash (it was very short!!!) for 2 years. I had no food or water, but I survived for 2 years with whatever strangers offered me. Luckily, I got rescued by a kind human and I am now ready for my second chapter of my life. I like to socialize with people, but I might appear to be a bit shy in the beginning. But no worries. Offer me some treats and I can easily get along with you. Once I get comfortable, I will show you my belly (belly rub please!) and let you lift me up under my belly. Kids under 13 year old? I love kids! I think they are awesome! I like to hang out with kids and adults. With Dogs & Cats & Chickens Not only humans, but I also like to play with furry friends! I easily approach them as I want to play with them. I usually get along with almost everyone but for some reason, I cannot get along with boys that are big in size! But if anybody tries to pick up a fight, be aware because I will not step back!!! Oh, and if I ever get into a fight with anybody, I refuse to play with that specific one (I will never forget what happened.....) So please keep an eye on me when I am with other friends. Sigh... A bit embarrassing to say, but when I was at the shelter, I often got into fights and got myself in trouble few times and maybe that is the reason why I might appear to be a bit shy in the beginning! With cats, I have seen them, but they did not draw my attention that much. I will probably need to get myself tested to find out more on this! Chickens? Ooooh! I saw chickens before! My friends went crazy when they saw chickens, but I had zero interest at all. Activities & Walk With lack of walk experience, I cannot say I am a pro. I tend to stop and sniff often during my walk. I prefer to walk in a quiet area rather than busy roads where there are cars everywhere. When I get frightened, I might stop and lie down on my belly. My energy level is fairly high so if you want me to relax quietly at home, please provide me sufficient amount of outdoor activities on a daily basis. Resource Guarding & Crate & Cars & Potty Break I recently had my guarding test done. Hmm.. I do not guard against people (because I love them so much) but I growl at other furry ones if they approach me too close while I am eating! Personal space guys!!! Step back when I eat!!!!!! So if you hear me growling, that means I do not want to get distracted while I am eating. I might also bark when there I see strangers or if there is anything that I need that requires a human's attention. I got my crate-training done and I am confident that I can stay calm inside. As I mentioned before, I get scared of cars . So when I need to get inside the car, I may need a bit of your help. Just give me a lift, and I will get in. For potty breaks , I prefer to go outside and do my business. When I visit new places, there is a chance that I might start marking as well. Last Message I am an absolute human-lover who needs my forever home and family. My childhood was lonely, and I do not really have good memories so far. But thankfully I got rescued and I am now getting myself prepared to meet my own family for the first time! If you are looking for an affectionate companion, please talk to my team about it!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I’m in Toronto Foster home Once a stray, this furry friend found themselves at a city shelter, facing an uncertain fate on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, a compassionate rescuer spotted this sweet soul and made the decision to give them a second chance.At first, I might seem a bit shy, but rest assured, I warm up quickly, especially when there are delicious treats involved. With some positive encouragement, I’m more than happy to become your best friend and allow even strangers to hold, lift, and carry me with ease. Once I’m at ease, I’ll proudly show my belly, inviting those cherished belly rubs. I’m still not comfortable when people are too close when I’m eating so if you can give me a space to enjoy the meal by myself that would be much appreciated. When it comes to other dogs, I’m a gentle spirit. I’ll approach them with a soft hello, though I’m less likely to engage in playful interactions. If another dog appears uncomfortable or shy, I’ll gracefully give them space, prioritizing a peaceful encounter. Though I’ve never encountered a cat, my demeanor and energy levels suggest I’m less likely to chase small animals. My energy is on the lower side, making me a calming presence in any household. While walking, my excitement may lead me to pull a bit, but I’m quick to settle and follow the handler with grace. Sharing is caring, and I’m all about it—I don’t guard resources from people or other dogs. Barking isn’t a habit of mine, and I’ve mastered crate training. When I’m in a room by myself I do destroy few things but once i feel comfortable around the space and know that it’s a safe zone, that behaviour will change for sure.If you’re seeking a low-energy, calm, and gentle dog, I’m the perfect addition to your home. I’ll sit beside you, gazing lovingly with adoration in my eyes. Pets and scratches bring me immense joy—I’ll even close my eyes, wearing a big smile, revelling in your attention.Now, about my diet—I may gain weight a bit faster than other dogs, but fear not, I’m not overly food-obsessed. I’m simply a delightful companion who enjoys your company and the occasional treat. Let’s make beautiful memories together—your love and attention will complete my story.
