Story

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to Vancouver & Toronto💟 Meet Dooly🦕 (It's famous Korean dinosaur character name) * With People: Dooly is curious about people but shy and hesitant to approach. He gets scared by sudden movements, so patience and slow, gentle interactions are essential to building trust. * With Dogs: He coexists well with other dogs at the shelter, though he prefers to relax rather than actively play. * With Cats: Dooly has not yet been exposed to cats, so his behavior around them is unknown. * Separation Anxiety: It’s currently unclear if Dooly experiences separation anxiety as he resides in the shelter. Initial training may be needed if he transitions to a home environment. * Potty Training: Dooly is accustomed to outdoor pottying only. * Walking: He has had some leash training during his time at a dog school but will need a trusted handler and double leashing for gradual and safe walks. 💌Special Notes💌 * Dooly takes time to get comfortable with people and requires a patient, understanding environment to help him adapt.

Story

Meet Aurora! This gorgeous girl is a stunning 3 1/2-year-old female Alaskan Malamute. She was surrendered to us when a breeding operation shut down and we had to step in and help her and the others! If there is one thing this girl is obsessed with, it is HUGS! I met her for the first time, and she came right up to me, gently jumped up, rested her paws on each shoulder, and gave me the biggest hug while looking deeply into my eyes. There was no leaving her behind! This amazing girl is great with all dogs (big and small), CATS (yes, that's huge), all people, and kids! She is really an amazing dog that is eager to please and cuddle. She is incredibly smart- she knows how to sit, paw, and hug. She wasn't taken on walks in her prior home, so we have been working on that, and she is doing wonderful on a harness. She does not pull and is gaining confidence on the leash every day. She is not your typical high-energy working dog; she is very low-key and wants to be with her humans. She would be perfectly fine with a short or a long walk, no matter your speed! Aurora would absolutely love to be cuddled in bed and be the couch potato. She paws when she wants to be pet in the most gentle way. She is still growing hair back since she had puppies almost 3 months ago and was covered in fleas. She is 100% potty trained and crate trained. Aurora is truly a special dog. Her adoption fee includes: Wellness Exam, spay, microchip, vaccines and dental.

Story

This sweet little Alaskan Malamute/Husky Mix pup just turned 9 weeks old today and is looking for her forever home! She is ready to go! All of her siblings, including her mama, have been adopted or preadopted, so now it is just Miss Vail looking for a home to call her very own! She is such a sweetheart, super cuddly, and the most submissive of her pack. She is incredibly smart and is eager to learn new things. Huskies and Malamutes are incredibly smart dogs that learn very quickly, so you really could teach her anything!! She loves playing with her siblings and toys, and her favorite toys are rope toys. She would make an incredible family dog or hiking partner. Vail, her siblings, and her mother were all surrendered from a breeder when the breeder's operation closed down. The mama and her babies are doing so well; they are all incredibly sweet and well-mannered. We are looking for active homes for these pups as they will need lots of mental and physical stimulation. If you are interested in adopting Vail, please apply on rescuebae.com Adoption fee includes: Wellness Exam, flea treatment, deworming, negative fecal test, spay when old enough, vaccines, and microchip.
