Story
Noah is a 1.5-year-old mixed breed dog, likely a Jindo mix, with an adorable pattern resembling white socks on one paw and a patch of white fur on his chest. He was abandoned at a shelter as a puppy and was rescued when he was about one year old. After a life in the shelter, he is now enjoying the play and freedom he was deprived of during his early months. Noah loves interacting with people and enjoys playing around with them. He is friendly and gets along well with other dogs, especially those whose personalities match his own. He is a foodie, with a great love for eating. Currently, he’s learning basic commands like ‘sit’ and ‘lie down’, and being quick to pick them up thanks to his intelligence. Noah enjoys walks and, as a young dog, is full of curiosity and energy. However, after enough outdoor activities and playtime, he is happy to rest and relax indoors. He especially loves running and playing in the park or spending quality time with his owner. As a male dog, Noah may mark his territory in new environments, but this behavior is expected to decrease as he becomes more familiar with his space and feels secure. Given his high energy and love for outdoor activities, Noah thrives in an environment that provides ample playtime and walks. With proper training and consistent bonding, he will grow into a loyal and devoted companion.

Soonjin

Jindo Samoyed

Details

Story
Here's what the humans have to say about me: Soonjin is a two-year-old male dog, believed to be a Jindo and Samoyed mix, who was rescued from a shelter just before being euthanized. He has a calm and quiet personality and a beautifully thick and soft coat that adds to his charm. True to the Jindo breed, Soonjin is highly loyal to a single owner. He carries himself with a dignified, gentlemanly demeanor, never engaging in fights or barking excessively. He prefers spending time alone rather than socializing with other dogs. However, he is not overly cautious and once trust is established, he enjoys human touch and allows people to pet him without hesitation. His eating habits are also remarkably composed. Instead of eating hastily, he takes his time savoring his food. His approach to people is equally gentle and careful—rather than rushing up excitedly, he quietly sits nearby, waiting patiently, which perfectly reflects his personality. At the training center, Soonjin follows a routine of going outside three times a day for bathroom breaks, resting quietly on his own, and then returning to his space. He might have some accidents inside at first while he adjusts to a new environment, but with patience and encouragement for outdoor potty training, he will adapt well. In a new home, he may initially feel sensitive to unfamiliar surroundings. It’s important to give him ample time to open up rather than trying to rush the bonding process. During walks, Soonjin displays perfect leash manners, walking calmly without pulling. Soonjin is both loyal and dignified and has an unshakable trust and presence. While he may have the typical sensitivity of a Jindo, once he forms a bond and recognizes his owner, he shows affection and becomes a composed yet loving companion.

Ottawa, ON
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Currently in a Seattle foster home Kkukkku is an approximately 7-year-old male mixed breed of Bichon Frisé and Poodle. He once lived a happy life in a loving home but, unfortunately, experienced the heartbreak of being abandoned. Despite this, he still holds deep trust and affection for people and gets along well with other dogs. He is a bright and gentle pup with a warm personality. Having spent a long time in a home, Kkukkku is expected to adapt relatively quickly to a new environment. Currently, he is accustomed to using pee pads indoors in Korea, but he is intelligent and can quickly learn to do his business outside. Kkukkku is affectionate and enjoys bonding with people, finding great happiness in spending time with them. His lovable charm is special enough to capture anyone’s heart instantly. At present, Kkukkku is staying at a training center, living with other dogs, and displaying excellent social skills. Because he loves people so much, he may bark briefly to get attention when someone approaches. Since he struggles with being alone, he would thrive best in a home where someone is always present, ensuring he feels secure and happy. Kkukkku has a friendly personality and approaches strangers without hesitation—he knows how to be loved. He may bark when confined in a kennel or a small space, but this is understandable behavior and not a major issue overall. As a sweet and loving companion, Kkukkku is ready to create happy moments with his new family. He is eagerly waiting for a family who can share genuine love and care with him.

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Currently in a Seattle foster home Cola is a bright and clever pup who was sadly abandoned but has kept his happy and loving spirit. Rescued just in time from a shelter, he’s now ready to find his forever home! Cola is smart and well-trained—he already knows sit, down, shake, and crate and picks up new commands quickly. He loves playing fetch and tug-of-war, but indoors, he’s calm and well-behaved. He sleeps peacefully in his own space and doesn’t struggle with separation anxiety. He’s not too interested in other dogs and may be a bit wary of those who bark at him, so he’d do best as the only dog in the home. He absolutely loves walks but needs a little guidance to stop picking things up from the ground. Cola is friendly with new people and doesn’t fear adult men. While he tends to bond more with grown-ups, he’s also gentle with kids. He enjoys car rides and waits patiently at the vet, even when he’s a little nervous. With a loving and respectful owner, Cola will shine as the loyal, affectionate, and well-mannered companion he’s meant to be. He’s the perfect mix of playful and calm—all he needs now is a family to call his own!

Pinko

Shepherd (Unknown Type) Jindo

Male, 2 yrs 3 mos
Ottawa, ON
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Pinko is a white Shepherd with a unique charm, and his lovely pink nose makes him truly special. Having been systematically trained at a professional educational institution in Korea, he is a special companion who is well suited to small dog friends and has excellent communication skills with people. He is friendly to strangers and has a strong loyalty that is unique to the Shepherd breed. Through professional training, he has grown into a dog with sophisticated manners, and he is especially impressive with the friendly relationships he forms with small dogs. His excellent athletic ability sometimes allows him to climb walls, but this is done out of pure curiosity. He has an obedient personality that comes back immediately when called, but his obedience requires proper care through training and reinforcement. Pinko sometimes barks briefly at passersby, but this is simply his way of expressing his interest. He may be excited for a while when he goes for a walk, but thanks to his training, he can be reliably controlled. Even in a temporary sheltered home, he has been shown to be trustworthy, living in harmony with small dogs. His large body makes his vigorous movements sometimes seem rough, but he is never aggressive. He prefers to relieve himself outdoors, and regular walks are enough to prevent mistakes indoors. Even at mealtimes, he responds well to "wait" commands and is polite. At the age of two, he is still a young adult, and he is looking for a family that will give him energy through constant education and plenty of exercise. Pinko will be a great joy to your family

Ottawa, ON
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Somang is a 3-year-old female dog, weighing around 10kg. She is a small, adorable Jindo mix with a heart full of love and affection. Somang has experienced being a mother in the shelter, and although her puppies have found their homes, Somang was sadly at risk of being euthanized. Thankfully, she was rescued and is now living at a training center, waiting for a loving family to call her own. Somang is a deeply affectionate dog who loves people. She has no fear of strangers and is always eager to show love to anyone she meets. She’s especially loyal to her owner and cherishes every moment of attention and affection. Her sweet, playful nature means she’s always ready for a cuddle or a fun time with her family. Somang has a food allergy that causes tear stains, but with the right food, her condition will improve, and she will become even healthier. Somang has a peaceful, calm temperament and gets along well with other dogs. She’s not aggressive and enjoys making friends, playing gently with those she connects with. When it comes to walks, Somang can be a bit curious and excited at first, but with time, she learns to walk calmly by her owner’s side. She loves being with her people and enjoys every moment spent together. Somang also loves to play! She can be a bit cheeky and full of energy, but after a fun playtime, she’ll settle down and rest quietly. Her playful yet calm nature makes her an ideal companion for first-time dog owners. Somang has spent most of her time in shelters and training centers, so she hasn’t had much experience in a home yet. She’s still learning about potty training, and there may be a few accidents in the beginning. However, with a consistent routine and a patient owner, she will quickly adapt. Somang loves to follow her owner everywhere and always wants to be by their side. With enough love and care, she’ll become a loyal, sweet companion for life. Somang is ready to find a warm, loving home. If you’re looking for a loving and playful friend to share your life with, Somang will be the most affectionate and loving dog you could ask for!
