Story
Hello, I'm Bay, an adorable 8-month-old SharPei mix boy eagerly awaiting my forever home. My journey began at the city shelter when I was just a 2-week-old baby, accompanied by my loving Mom and seven siblings. While one of my seven siblings found a happy home through fostering, I and my other siblings are still at the city shelter, facing the risk of euthanasia. Each one of us embodies a friendly, funny, and endearing spirit. Picture this: lovely chocolate fur, long legs adorned with white socks, and eyes that exude innocence, much like a baby angel. I'm a social butterfly, adoring people so much that I'll gladly sit on a stranger's lap upon our first meeting. Playing with friends is a delight for me, and if I discover a cherished toy, I'll quietly retreat to a corner to enjoy it. My nature is gentle and kind; even if friends approach me while I'm with my toys, I'll simply relocate without any fuss or growls. If you're seeking a puppy friend to always bring a smile to your face and shower you with love, then I'm the perfect companion. Consider adopting me, and I promise to become a cherished and lovable member of your family. Let's create a beautiful bond and fill your home with joy and love together.

Hello, I'm Cinamon, an adorable 8-month-old SharPei mix girl eagerly awaiting my forever home. My journey began at the city shelter when I was just a 2-week-old baby, accompanied by my loving Mom and seven siblings. We're a charming bunch! While one of my seven siblings found a happy home through fostering, my other siblings and I are still at the city shelter, facing the risk of euthanasia. Each one of us embodies a friendly, funny, and endearing spirit. I'm a social butterfly, adoring people so much. I allow strangers to touch or hug me. I'm a very nice, innocent soul. And I'm an extreme toy lover. If I have a toy I like, I go to the corner alone and play with it quietly without my friends knowing. I grew up in a shelter as a baby, so I have less experience. I still need to learn how to eat snacks. When I go for a walk, my tail goes down in unfamiliar places. I wish I had a family who could teach me the taste of delicious snacks and the joy of walking. I will be your lovely and good family member. I'm in a shelter in Korea and ready to fly anywhere in Seattle or Vancouver if you call my name.

Story
Hi, my name is Yoda. I was found wandering around a golf course in the mountains. Life was tough back then. I was pregnant when I was rescued, but sadly, my little ones didn't make it. It was just me and my mom survived. 💖 Personality: I might seem a bit shy at first, but give me a chance, and you'll see how quickly I warm up to you. I love people and can even enjoy a good cuddle! I already know commands like sit, stay, and paw. So, you won't have to worry about teaching me the basics. I'm a quick learner and eager to please. 🚶 Walks and Exploring: I haven't had many adventures in the outside world, so busy roads and loud cars can be a bit overwhelming for me. I might flatten myself to the ground in unfamiliar situations. But don't worry, with time and patience, I'll learn to embrace the great outdoors! 🏡 Home Life: After a walk, I'm all about chilling quietly. I'm well-behaved inside my kennel, and I rarely bark. Outdoor potty breaks are my preference. 🐕 Other Dogs: I'm not one to pick fights. Even when other dogs try to provoke me, I'd rather steer clear. I'm great at greetings, but playtime isn't my top priority. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJc_7Cxe0m8&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JzzWz9-erIXEOyg9oZGL-AV ❤ we accept both Canada/US applicants ❤

Story
My name is Somi, and I'm a 5-year-old female Mini Jindo mix. I've had quite an adventurous journey—left wandering when my previous owner moved, but thankfully, I was rescued. I'm a sweetheart with a wagging tail and a heart full of love. Even with strangers, I'm quick to ask for pets and show off my charming side. I get along well with other dogs, always up for a friendly greeting and playtime. However, I can get a bit defensive if provoked, so a bit of caution is advisable. On our walks, I might pull a bit on the leash, but it's nothing too serious, and I'm a quick learner. I'm quite the foodie, so I tend to eat quickly, and while I might growl if another dog approaches during meals but, I don't guard my food. Whether indoors or outdoors, I'm a pro at doing my business. The only thing is, I get a bit scared in cars, so you might need to hold me close during rides. I'm not just looking for a home; I'm looking for a family to call my own. If you're ready for a bundle of love, joy, and occasional silliness, I think we could be the perfect match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTZdbzx52G8&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JyI8Q67gU7SpsTsu8_dCVSm ❤ we accept both Canada/US applicants ❤

'm Saturn, an 8-month-old Jindo mix little guy, and I'm on the lookout for my forever home. My journey started when my stray mom gave birth in a kind person's yard, and that's where I was rescued. I might take a bit of time to warm up to new faces, but once I do, get ready for some tail-wagging affection! I love being pampered and will charm my way into your heart. I get along famously with other dogs and thrive in their company. However, if another dog tries to challenge me, I might growl a bit. I just like to make sure everyone knows their place! If your home already has a canine companion, that's a bonus for me. I find comfort in the presence of other dogs. While I may not have much experience with bustling, noisy streets, I can get a bit timid and lie flat in fear. So, a quieter neighborhood would be ideal for our walks. When it comes to mealtime, I'm totally fine with people, but if other dogs approach, I might express my opinions with a little growl. After a good walk, I'm quite the chill companion. I settle down nicely, whether it's on a comfy couch or in my kennel. Speaking of kennels, I'm a well-behaved fella even when confined. I'm pretty good with outdoor potty breaks, but I'm equally adept at handling business indoors. So, whether you have a yard or live in an apartment, I've got it all covered. If you're looking for a canine friend who will melt your heart with cuddles once the initial shyness fades away, I'm your guy. Let's embark on this journey together and make countless memories! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apORMugF2ds&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JzpHj8SBIYCIPIChYmQHkRw ❤ we accept both Canada/US applicants ❤

Story
Name: Emma Age: 3 years old Gender: Female Neutralization: Completed Breed: Pointer Mix Color: Black and White Spotty Weight: 46 LB (21kg) Hello!! My human friends!! I am Emma, an energetic Pointer mix aged 3. I am a lovely girl with warm heart and brightness. However, people did not know me, and I was on the list of euthanasia at the city shelter. Fortunately, a kind rescuer saved me, and here I am. Now, I am sooooo ready to meet my lovy dovy happy family. I am very bright girl with full of charming energy. I love people’s attention and being petted. On the spot of meeting new people, my tail does not stop wagging and my ears get flat with happiness. My handler said that it was so difficult to take a picture of me with proper ear shape because they got flat all the time when I was with people. I really enjoy being companion with people and I assertively approach to them to be petted. If you rub my belly, I will melt down immediately for more petting. I am very good with new doggie friends. I usually say hi gently to them and then, just mind my own business. I can share treats with them and smell out each other to get to know. Though I am more interested in people and exploring new environments. Outdoor activities and exercising are my favorite things. As I am a Pointer, I need to consume my energy properly. Otherwise, I may get stressed out. I also need to take my potty break outside, so regular strolling is essential for me. I may get excited when I go for walk and pull on leash a bit but this should be settle down soon with some training, for sure. If you need a companion who can enjoy a lot of energetic activities together, I am here for you. :D If you see me, you will instantly realize how adorable I am. I have bright energy and easy-going personality. Let me spread my happy virus to you. We can have lots of fun adventures together!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9llIlTwDg6Q&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JzewDjO_YZjw6S8DZTZAgbu ❤ we accept both Canada/US applicants ❤
