Story
Hello! My name is Yogi and I’m a 2-year-old male Husky weighing 20 kg (44 lbs). With my stunning Husky looks and playful personality, I’m sure to steal your heart! I’m full of love and affection, always ready to show off my playful and charming side. I get along well with other dogs and enjoy making new friends, both furry and human. When I see people come and go, I sometimes let out a signature Husky howl to say, “Don’t forget about me!” I’m energetic and love outdoor adventures. While I can pull a bit on the leash during walks, I calm down quickly and walk nicely once I’ve burned off some of my excitement. I’m also very food-motivated and will happily accept treats from anyone, making it easy to become fast friends. Because I’m a true Husky at heart, I’d love to be adopted by someone familiar with the breed and its unique traits. My high energy and lively personality are part of my charm, but I need someone who can keep up with me and understand my needs. I love to play and often express my desire for attention with high energy, but that’s just my way of saying, “Let’s have fun together!” Above all, I crave love and connection with my humans and promise to be a loyal, affectionate companion. Are you ready to share your life with a fun, energetic, and lovable Husky? I can’t wait to meet you and start our adventures together! 🐾 To see more videos:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyEuMiuW6Ww58lIWSlAQjTbitIyvmFWwX

Story
My name is Jay, and I’m a 1.5-year-old Jindo mix with the softest, fluffiest fur—kind of like a Samoyed! I weigh 17kg and have a cute, chubby body that makes me extra cuddly. 🥰 My story almost had a sad ending… I was in a shelter, facing a very scary fate, but luckily, I was rescued just in time! Now, I’m ready to start a new life filled with love, belly rubs, and endless tail wags. I’m a super friendly and affectionate pup! I trust humans completely and will happily wiggle up to strangers just to get some pets. I don’t just love people—I adore them! Whether you’re my human or someone I just met, I’ll be right there, ready to soak up all the love you’re willing to give. 💕 Big dogs, small dogs, boys, girls—I love them all! I enjoy playing, exploring, and goofing around with my furry friends. I’m not the type to pick fights; I just want to have fun and make friends everywhere I go! I’m crazy about treats which makes me super easy to train! Right now, I’m learning “wait” at the facility, and my trainer says I’m really smart and eager to learn. I pick up new things quickly and always do my best to make my humans happy! Because I’m part Jindo, I might be a little sensitive when I first move to a new place. But don’t worry! I’m really good at adjusting, and with just a little time, I’ll settle in and feel right at home. Once I do, you’ll see just how loving, playful, and cuddly I truly am! I have so much love to give, and I’m looking for a family who will shower me with kindness, patience, and treats (did I mention I love treats?). If you’re looking for a sweet, friendly, playful pup who will bring joy and laughter into your home, I just might be your perfect match! 🏡🐾 Can’t wait to meet you! Love, Jay 💙🐕 To see more videos:

Story
Here's what the humans have to say about me: May is a stunning 3-year-old Jindo girl with a perfect balance of beauty, grace, and charm. Rescued just in time from a shelter, she isn’t just pretty—she has a wonderful personality to match! At first, May can be a little cautious and reserved, but once she warms up, she’s full of love and sweet affection. With just a little patience (and maybe a few treats!), she quickly opens up and forms deep bonds. Once she sees you as her person, she will be loyal, loving, and always by your side. May gets along well with other dogs but has a true Jindo spirit—she’s independent and prefers playing with select friends rather than every pup she meets. However, her favorite thing is spending quality time with people. She’s polite on walks, doesn’t pull on the leash, and enjoys peaceful strolls. She is used to a structured routine and will adapt well to a new home with consistency and patience. May is looking for a loving family that understands the devoted and faithful nature of Jindos. If you’re ready to build a trusting bond, she will become the most loyal and affectionate companion you could ever ask for! May is waiting for her forever home, if you think she is the one please contact us NOW

Coco

Jindo Welsh Corgi

Female, 2 yrs 1 mo
Calgary, AB
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details

Story
Coco is a 2-year-old female jindo/welsh corgi mix who was sadly abandoned at a shelter from a young age. Faced with the fear of euthanasia, she was thankfully rescued and is now adapting to her new environment at our training center. While she is still unfamiliar with interactions with people, she is gradually building trust and slowly opening her heart. Weighing just 6 kg, Coco has adorable short legs and a cute appearance, resembling the characteristics of both the Jindo and Welsh Corgi breeds. She has a truly charming appearance that cannot be fully captured in photos and videos alone. Coco is a bit shy at first, but she is curious and will carefully approach and accept treats. Since she is not used to interacting with people yet, she might try to run away if someone tries to approach her, but in a smaller space, she will allow being touched or held. Having spent her early life in a shelter, she seems unsure about how to engage with people, but with time and love, she will gradually open up and become more confident. Because Coco has not lived with people before, she will need time to adjust to a home environment. It is important to be patient and not rush her during this process of becoming familiar with her new home and family. When going for walks, she must wear a double leash due to her potential to get startled by sudden noises or unfamiliar environments. She has an understandable tendency to want to run away if given the opportunity and having the double leash will prevent that from happening. Coco has a gentle nature and gets along very well with other dogs. She enjoys playing with both large and small dogs, and she shares treats willingly. She hardly ever barks, and currently, there are no signs of separation anxiety. However, during her adjustment to the new environment, she may experience some separation anxiety at first, so it is important for her guardian to help her adjust gradually. Currently, Coco is not fully house-trained, so there may be some accidents at first. However, with a patient guardian who regularly encourages outdoor potty training, she will likely quickly adapt. As Coco lacks social experience, it is important for her guardian to be patient and help her have various experiences. She is currently receiving leash training at the training center and will continue practicing before adoption. However, when she moves to her new home, she may need some additional time to adjust, and with a patient approach, she will become more accustomed over time. Coco is still a young dog with much to learn, but with warm love and patience, she will become the best companion. If you are ready to give Coco time and love, she will become your most loyal and loving friend.

Story
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!

Jindo Labrador Retriever

Male, 8 mos
Calgary, AB
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Hi I’m Bunny. I’m an 8-month-old Jindo mix boy, and I weigh about 10kg—smaller and daintier than most Jindos. People always say I have the purest eyes, but the world still feels a little big and unfamiliar to me. I didn’t get to grow up the way most puppies do. When I was about 3 months old, I was taken to a shelter with my siblings. Instead of learning about the world and playing with humans, I spent my early months behind metal bars, watching the world from a distance. That’s why new places, new sounds, and new people sometimes make me nervous. But… I’m changing. At the training center, I was so shy at first. I would sit quietly, just watching, unsure of what to do. But after a few days, I started wagging my tail when I saw my trainers. I even follow them around for treats and nudge them for pets. Once I trust you, I have so much love to give. I just need someone patient enough to help me feel safe. People always tell me I’m adorable and unique-looking, different from most Jindos. But I hope you don’t choose me just for that. I need someone who understands that love, for me, takes time. At first, I might not come running to you. I might not sit beside you right away. But if you wait for me, if you give me time, one day I’ll come to you on my own—and when I do, it will mean everything. I get along really well with other dogs and love playing with them. I don’t start fights, and I know how to enjoy myself with friends. But with humans, I need a little more time and patience. I’m still learning about potty training—right now, I go outside three times a day, and I’m slowly getting into a routine. I also need extra safety precautions for walks because loud noises scare me, and my strong Jindo instincts might make me try to run back to where I feel safe. Until we build trust, I’ll need a secure double leash and harness when we go outside. I know I might not be the easiest dog at first. But if you choose to wait for me, believe in me, and love me just as I am, I promise I will give you my whole heart in return.
