Quick Facts! Name: Cookie Age: 6 years old Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Collie Jindo mix Colour: Golden beige Weight: 18 kg My Story:Hello world! My name is Cookie and I'm currently 6 years old. When you first see me, you'll just love the way I look. I have collie's narrow head shape with silky golden-beige coat. Too bad I can't show off my appearance now, but please do check my YouTube link attached (don't forget to "Like" and "Subscribe" our channel heehee!) for details! You'll just fall in love with me. Did you know that I love hooman and furry friends? I just love everyone!!! Although I'm crate-trained, when you open the crate, I often jump and run only because I'm just so happy all the time. I'm full of curiosity, energy (not too much though), and love to greet new friends. Yes. I love socializing! When I meet new friends I usually approach them first. For hoomans, when I first meet them, I get so excited that I jump up and down. But don't get me wrong. This doesn't mean I'm being aggressive. So please be patient with me. I'm sure I can improve if you train me. Many hoomans describe me as an intelligent dog and I totally agree with it! It must be my collie DNA or something as I can easily tell how hoomans feel. I think I'm born with it. So again, if you train me, I know I'll be a good companion. Cats? What's that? I don't even know who they are and I have no idea how I'll react when I see them. I enjoy outdoor activities, especially long-walks and hiking as I'm a good walker. It takes a lot of my energy so when I come home, I like to sit and rest peacefully. I usually don't bark and stay nicely in a crate. I also don't guard my food against hoomans and furry friends. I generally take my potty break outside. When I visit new places, I tend to mark so please keep that in mind. I can still remember my first time entering my shelter back in 2018. I was a skinny little puppy and it's already been 6 years ever since! Despite my time in the shelter, many hoomans say "Cookie is a great, calm dog." I'm so ready to bring warmth and joy to your home! If you're looking for a sweet, loving, and clever companion, I'm the one! Let's make some wonderful memories together For more videos:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLOMJUT-1hs&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JzQWukc8poUanRSx8kxW6kd ##2260935##

Story
Quick Facts Name: Seolgi Age: 4 years old Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Jindo mix Colour: Ivory Weight: 14.5kg Heartworm: Treated January 3, 2024 Me & Humans Welcome to my profile page everyone. This is Seolgi, a 4 year old Jindo mix boy, weighing 14.5kg. When you first see me, I will probably catch your attention with my appearance. Although I am Jindo mix, I rather look like a mix of Labrador Retriever and Pitbull with a clean ivory coat. Before I got rescued, I was on the leash (it was very short!!!) for 2 years. I had no food or water, but I survived for 2 years with whatever strangers offered me. Luckily, I got rescued by a kind human and I am now ready for my second chapter of my life. I like to socialize with people, but I might appear to be a bit shy in the beginning. But no worries. Offer me some treats and I can easily get along with you. Once I get comfortable, I will show you my belly (belly rub please!) and let you lift me up under my belly. Kids under 13 year old? I love kids! I think they are awesome! I like to hang out with kids and adults. With Dogs & Cats & Chickens Not only humans, but I also like to play with furry friends! I easily approach them as I want to play with them. I usually get along with almost everyone but for some reason, I cannot get along with boys that are big in size! But if anybody tries to pick up a fight, be aware because I will not step back!!! Oh, and if I ever get into a fight with anybody, I refuse to play with that specific one (I will never forget what happened.....) So please keep an eye on me when I am with other friends. Sigh... A bit embarrassing to say, but when I was at the shelter, I often got into fights and got myself in trouble few times and maybe that is the reason why I might appear to be a bit shy in the beginning! With cats, I have seen them, but they did not draw my attention that much. I will probably need to get myself tested to find out more on this! Chickens? Ooooh! I saw chickens before! My friends went crazy when they saw chickens, but I had zero interest at all. Activities & Walk With lack of walk experience, I cannot say I am a pro. I tend to stop and sniff often during my walk. I prefer to walk in a quiet area rather than busy roads where there are cars everywhere. When I get frightened, I might stop and lie down on my belly. My energy level is fairly high so if you want me to relax quietly at home, please provide me sufficient amount of outdoor activities on a daily basis. Resource Guarding & Crate & Cars & Potty Break I recently had my guarding test done. Hmm.. I do not guard against people (because I love them so much) but I growl at other furry ones if they approach me too close while I am eating! Personal space guys!!! Step back when I eat!!!!!! So if you hear me growling, that means I do not want to get distracted while I am eating. I might also bark when there I see strangers or if there is anything that I need that requires a human's attention. I got my crate-training done and I am confident that I can stay calm inside. As I mentioned before, I get scared of cars . So when I need to get inside the car, I may need a bit of your help. Just give me a lift, and I will get in. For potty breaks , I prefer to go outside and do my business. When I visit new places, there is a chance that I might start marking as well. Last Message I am an absolute human-lover who needs my forever home and family. My childhood was lonely, and I do not really have good memories so far. But thankfully I got rescued and I am now getting myself prepared to meet my own family for the first time! If you are looking for an affectionate companion, please talk to my team about it!

Story
I’m in Toronto Foster home Once a stray, this furry friend found themselves at a city shelter, facing an uncertain fate on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, a compassionate rescuer spotted this sweet soul and made the decision to give them a second chance.At first, I might seem a bit shy, but rest assured, I warm up quickly, especially when there are delicious treats involved. With some positive encouragement, I’m more than happy to become your best friend and allow even strangers to hold, lift, and carry me with ease. Once I’m at ease, I’ll proudly show my belly, inviting those cherished belly rubs. I’m still not comfortable when people are too close when I’m eating so if you can give me a space to enjoy the meal by myself that would be much appreciated. When it comes to other dogs, I’m a gentle spirit. I’ll approach them with a soft hello, though I’m less likely to engage in playful interactions. If another dog appears uncomfortable or shy, I’ll gracefully give them space, prioritizing a peaceful encounter. Though I’ve never encountered a cat, my demeanor and energy levels suggest I’m less likely to chase small animals. My energy is on the lower side, making me a calming presence in any household. While walking, my excitement may lead me to pull a bit, but I’m quick to settle and follow the handler with grace. Sharing is caring, and I’m all about it—I don’t guard resources from people or other dogs. Barking isn’t a habit of mine, and I’ve mastered crate training. When I’m in a room by myself I do destroy few things but once i feel comfortable around the space and know that it’s a safe zone, that behaviour will change for sure.If you’re seeking a low-energy, calm, and gentle dog, I’m the perfect addition to your home. I’ll sit beside you, gazing lovingly with adoration in my eyes. Pets and scratches bring me immense joy—I’ll even close my eyes, wearing a big smile, revelling in your attention.Now, about my diet—I may gain weight a bit faster than other dogs, but fear not, I’m not overly food-obsessed. I’m simply a delightful companion who enjoys your company and the occasional treat. Let’s make beautiful memories together—your love and attention will complete my story.

Story
Quick Facts! Name: Scotty Age: 4 years old Gender: Female Neutered: Yes Breed: Jindo-corgi mix Colour: Black Weight: 16 kg My Story: Hi friends! The world says hello! I'm Scotty and it's very nice to meet you! I'm a 4 year old female Jindo-corgi mix with a silky, charming black coat. Weighing 16kg, I'm an adorable and affectionate girl looking for my forever home! I'm very affectionate and love to rub against people, whether I know them or not. I welcome everyone to pet. I also like to show my cute little belly for some rubs, and even let hoomans to lift me up high. I just don't mind at all! Hoomans say I'm so adorable especially when they see me running around with my short legs. Speaking of which, when you look at my photos and videos, you'll notice that my front legs are bent a bit. No one exactly knows why and I avoid long walks or hiking. So it'd be ideal for me to find a family that aren't too active, but nice and calm. I still enjoy my light walks though. I may pull on the leash but I generally follow along hoomans well. I also take my potty break during this time. After outdoor activities, I like to sit and rest quietly. I absolutely love socializing! I always like to meet new furry friends. I approach them first and say hi because I'm just so eager to play with everyone. I also like to hang out with big friends. I mean, don't they look so cool? I always want to hang out with them all the time!!! I normally don't bark. I mean, what is there to bark anyway? Even when I'm eating or drinking, I don't bark or guard against anyone. I am crate-trained and can stay nice and calm inside. By the way, did I tell you that I love eating? I absolutely love eating. I mean, when you meet me in real life, you'll notice that I'm a petite little dog, yet I'm 16kg. Well, now you know why. It's because of my passion for food, but on the other hand, it doubles my cuteness level. Would you be the one who will give me your love? I promise I can make you smile everyday as your playful companion. If you'd like to know more about me, don't hesitate to contact my team!

Story
Quick Facts! Name: Jinju Age: 4 years old Gender: Female Neutered: Yes Breed: Jindo mix Colour: Brown Weight: 13.15 kg All about me Hello world! I am Jinju, a 4 year old Jindo mix princess. I had a ruff childhood. I was abandoned at the electrical station in South Korea without any food and water with my mom and sisters. Luckily, I survived and got rescued. I am now ready to find a loving family! I am a bit on the shy side but give me some treats and I will be your friend in a wag of a tail because I love to eat! Once I get to know you, I will eventually let you pet me as well. I am fine with belly rubs but do not like being lifted high. Loud noises and little kids? Eeeeek! I once met kids under 13 and it did not make me feel comfortable when they suddenly moved and made loud noises! Whether dogs are my size, smaller, or larger, I am quite friendly with them. I will politely greet, but not always play with them right away. I feel overwhelmed when they get too energetic or aggressive. In this case, I simply step back. My curiosity kicks in when I encounter cats, but I just give them a curious glance and keep on strolling under my human's guidance. As for my energy level, I am somewhere between low to moderate. I absolutely enjoy outdoor activities but also like resting quietly afterward. During walks, I might pull my leash a little, but I generally walk well in quiet areas where I can relax and enjoy the scenery. Busy roads can make me a bit nervous, but under your guidance, I will get the hang of it. I am also house-trained and would prefer to do my business outside during walks. I do not guard my food from people, but I might growl if another dog comes near while I am eating. I am particularly not a barker unless I see a stranger. Additionally, I got my crate-training down to a tree. I have survived and got rescued at the edge of precipice and I deserve to have a peaceful life with my own affection family. If you are looking for a genuine friend who is gentle, affectionate, and loyal, I will be the perfect one for you. Please contact my trusted team for more details!

Quick Facts Name: Mimi Age: Estimated 5 years Gender: Female Spayed: Yes Breed: Boston Terrier Mix Color: Black & White Weight: 8 kg Microchip Number: 410100012485640 Health Information Vaccinations (latest): Comprehensive Vaccine: June 16, 2024 Coronavirus: June 16, 2024 Kennel Cough: June 16, 2024 Influenza: June 16, 2024 Rabies: June 16, 2024 Heartworm Test: Negative as of July 20, 2024 Heartworm Treatment: Previously diagnosed with Stage 2 heartworm (positive test March 18, 2023); treated with injections on March 2526, 2023 My Story Hello there! I'm Mimi, a friendly and lovable Boston Terrier mix looking for a warm and cozy forever home. Let me share a little bit about myself and my journey so far. I was once part of a bustling car wash, where my previous family left me behind. For a while, I roamed around, even raising a couple of litters with my best friend, a Jindo nearby. But now, I'm all about finding a stable home, and I'm ready to move on from my roaming days. My Social Side With people, I'm a true social butterfly! I greet everyone with a wagging tail, and I love nothing more than cozying up for pets and cuddles. I warm up to new faces easily, and I'll even roll over to show my belly if we're friends. Children? Absolutely! I enjoy being around kids and love the extra attention they give me. When it comes to meeting new furry friends, I prefer to take it slow and steady. I've made progress since my rescue, and while I still need time to feel comfortable, I can get along well with dogs similar to my size or smaller. I just ask for a gentle introduction and a little patience. My Energy Level & Walks I'm pretty easygoing on walks and don't pull on the leash, following your lead like a pro! I've got a curious spirit and enjoy outdoor adventures with moderate energy. After a fun outing, I'm more than happy to relax by your side, soaking up the quiet moments. And while I'm happy to share my food with people, I can be a bit protective around other dogs-it's best if I enjoy my meal in peace. I'm also a quiet girl and rarely bark, though I might make a little sound if I see someone new or if I'm hoping for something special. More About Me I'm adaptable with bathroom habits too-whether it's indoor pads or outdoor strolls, I manage both like a champ. I know some basic commands like "sit," "wait," and "high five," and I'll hop right into my kennel when it's time to settle down. Last Message I'm hoping to find a family who'll appreciate my gentle nature, my little quirks, and my love for people. If you're looking for a small, sweet, and affectionate companion to brighten your days, I think we'd make a perfect match. Could you be the loving family I've been waiting for?
