Story
Harley is a 5 year old black female half Mastiff and half American Staffordshire Terrier born in October 2018. She’ll jump on you and kiss you to death. Most affectionate dog ever. She’s fixed. And very happy. Very good with kids as well. She’s very playful and energetic. Needs a place with land and a family with an active lifestyle. Unsure about her being reactive to other dogs as she has lived with her pack for awhile. In the past, she got along with the house cat, but haven’t been around a cat for awhile. This is a courtesy listing. If you are interested in providing a forever home for one, or both of the dogs, please contact Andrew directly at bugnetandrew@gmail.com

Jet is a 3 yr old Red Labrador. She loves people, once she gets to know and trusts them. Great in the home, can be left up to 3 hours. (No Crate). She’s very athletic, loves to swim, soccer, dock diving. She is very bright, shows much initiative and learns quickly. She responds well to positive, holistic handling, vocal praise, touch and treat rewards. She has excellent recall and obedience. Dog reactive, dependant on the other dog’s body language. (white dogs especially). No Small animals. No children. High drive, from a working line. Jet will thrive in a rural environment as the only dog, no other pets. An active lifestyle from walking around the property to swimming, dock diving, water sports, soccer, and Frisbee. Jet is a lovely genuine girl with lots of character. She loves cuddles on the couch and bedtime cuddles. She loves to travel in the car and be your sidekick. Jet needs to do things during the day, from sitting in the sunshine, helping in the garden or doing things with you. Jet is obedient and knows her commands. She comes from a working line so has high drive. She will need consistency, patience and reassurance to help her adapt to changes and for her to have a thriving life. This is a courtesy listing.

Story
Meet Youngsoo! * Gender: Male * Age: 5 months * Weight: 9 kg * Breed: Jindo-Corgi mix Youngsoo is an adorable puppy with a unique charm thanks to his short legs, giving him the perfect Jindo-Corgi look! Although he’s the smallest of his siblings, he’s just as active and playful as the rest. He’s currently learning leash walking and socialization skills, and his lively, cheerful personality is sure to win you over. As a puppy, Youngsoo is still in his learning phase and will require a dedicated adopter who can guide him with patience and training. Like any young dog, he may chew on things, so keeping a close eye on him and providing appropriate outlets for his energy will be important. Youngsoo is currently living with his mother and littermates, so he may feel shy or lonely when separated. However, with a loving owner who can provide attention, playtime, and care, he is expected to adapt quickly and thrive in his new home. If you’re ready to welcome a sweet and lively pup like Youngsoo into your life, he might just be the perfect companion for you! 🐾💕

Story
Jessie – A Gentle Soul Ready for Her Forever Home Jessie is a 5-month-old Jindo-Terrier mix with a soft brown coat and an incredibly calm personality. Weighing 11 kg, she’s the perfect blend of sweetness and serenity. While Jessie may not be the first to approach new people, she’s very accepting of affection when you reach out to her. She’s friendly with other dogs and gets along well with her furry companions. Jessie is currently undergoing leash training and socialization and is making wonderful progress. As a young puppy, Jessie will need a patient and committed adopter to continue her training and help her grow into a confident adult dog. Like all puppies, she may chew on things, so providing her with proper toys and guidance will be important. Right now, Jessie lives with her mom and siblings, so moving into a new home may take some adjustment. She could feel a little shy or lonely at first, but with plenty of love, attention, and playtime, she will quickly settle in and become a loving member of her new family. If you’re looking for a gentle and loyal companion, Jessie is waiting to meet you. Could she be the perfect fit for your home? 🐾💕
