Story
Name: Gaon Age: 1 year Sex: Neutered Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Golden Retriever Color: Brown Weight: 14 kg Height (shoulder): 55 cm   Rescue Story   Gaon spent his early life tied to a metal chain fixed to a stake in the ground, severely limiting his movement. As a young and active Golden Retriever, he grew up without the freedom to run or explore during an important socialization period.   When he was rescued in October last year, he was extremely overstimulated and excitable. In the rescue footage, he was even able to pull the deeply embedded stake out of the ground and run around the mountain area.   Due to his high arousal level and impulsive behavior, a veterinary consultation suggested impulse control issues. Since December, Gaon has been staying at a foster home where he has been receiving behavior training along with medication for about 3 months.   With consistent structure and training, Gaon has shown significant improvement and is now much calmer and more stable.   ‍‍ Socialization with People   Gaon is very affectionate and people-oriented. He enjoys attention and will approach both familiar people and strangers to lean against them and ask for pets.   Because he is still young and playful, he can be easily distracted and may move between people looking for attention.   He is comfortable with men and has also shown good tolerance with children under 13.   Anyone can gently lift him by placing arms under his belly, although he may wiggle slightly at first due to excitement.   Gaon can sometimes become nervous when someone is holding a stick-like object such as a broom or mop, and may crouch or appear fearful in those situations.   Socialization with Dogs   When he was first rescued, Gaon would rush toward other dogs out of excitement and lack of social experience. Because of this impulsive approach, conflicts could occur with less tolerant dogs.   After about three months of training and medication, his impulse control has improved significantly.   Currently, he generally ignores other dogs unless they repeatedly bother him or rush toward him while barking.   Gaon tends to be very people-focused and prefers staying near humans rather than playing with other dogs. Because he can show mild jealousy over attention, he may do best as the only dog in the household.   Cats   He has seen stray cats and did not show strong reactions. A proper cat test can be conducted if needed.   Energy Level   Although his energy level has been moderated through training and medication, Gaon is still a young dog who spent much of his early life unable to move freely.   He will benefit from a home that can provide regular exercise, structure, and continued training to help him release his energy in healthy ways.   Walking   Gaon tends to pull on the leash but also pays attention to his handler while walking. He loves greeting people during walks and often wants to approach them for attention.   Other Behaviors   • He does not guard food from people but may growl if another dog approaches while he is eating. • He may show some separation anxiety, so gradual training may be needed at the beginning. • He may bark to express his needs or when he wants attention. • He can get in and out of the car on his own.   Gaon currently uses both indoor pee pads and outdoor potty, but because he sometimes tears up pee pads when bored, outdoor potty training is being encouraged.   He usually eliminates within about one hour after eating, and since he can hold it overnight, he may sometimes have an accident in the morning if not taken out early.   Gaon is a bright, affectionate young dog who has already made great progress with training and care. With a patient home that can continue providing structure, exercise, and guidance, Gaon has the potential to grow into a wonderful and loyal companion.

 Quick Facts  Name: Ilbok Age: 2 years old (Born January 2023) Gender: Male Neutered/Sprayed: Yes Breed: Golden Retriever Mix Color: Beige Current Weight: 18 kg My Personality Hey there! I'm Ilbok, a fun-loving and affectionate boy who can't wait to find a family to share all my love with. I may be a little cautious at first, but once I trust you, I’ll show you just how sweet and friendly I can be! I adore people and am always excited to say hello. I’ll happily approach new faces and let you give me all the attention I crave. If you call me, I'll come running—I'm all about making connections! Although I’m friendly with humans, I do take a little time to warm up to other dogs. I can be a bit guarded initially, especially if another dog gets too close too fast, so it’s important to give me the space I need when meeting new pups. I’m just being cautious, but once I get to know you, I’m a great companion. I’ve got a heart full of potential and am ready to build friendships with the right dog pals. On My Walks Oh, how I love my walks! There’s nothing better than getting outside, feeling the breeze, and sniffing all the new scents in the world. I do like to pull on the leash a bit because I’m just so excited to explore! I’ll stop and sniff along the way, and if I see something exciting, I’ll want to check it out. But don’t worry, with a little training, I’ll get better at walking with you calmly by my side. I love the outdoors, and I promise we’ll have lots of fun together—whether it’s a stroll or a more energetic walk. Life At Home When I’m home, I’m the best companion you could ask for. I’m a curious boy who loves being around people, so I’ll probably follow you around, always wanting to know what’s going on. I’m very affectionate and enjoy being petted and loved. I’m also quite adaptable. I do my business indoor and outdoor. I might mark in new enviroment. I’m pretty well-behaved, and while I may show some excitement before meals or walks, I promise it’s just because I’m eager to have a good time with you. I don’t guard my food around people but with other dogs I am still learning. I’m still working on some manners, but I’m a fast learner and I know I’ll do great in a home that gives me the right guidance. My Ideal Home I’m looking for a loving, active family who will appreciate my playful energy and my affectionate nature. Here’s what I’d love in my forever home: Active Adventures: I’d love to be part of a family who enjoys outdoor activities. Whether it’s a long walk, a fun hike, or some playtime in the yard, I’m ready for action! Patience & Guidance: I’m still growing and learning, and I’d thrive in a home where I can continue developing my skills and building my confidence with positive reinforcement. Companionship: I’m social and love being around people, so I’d prefer a home where I’m not left alone for long periods. I thrive when I’m part of the family. Dog-Free: I’d do best as the only dog in the home. Last Message If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will always be excited to share his love and enjoy the world with you, I might be your perfect match! I can’t wait to meet you and start our next adventure together.   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here!Ilbok's YouTube Playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwkBxxdtpKRWMXKSXQmWH07&si=PpQFB7u8W9at7g-e ##2458103##

Story
Hi… I’m Blanc 🤍 For a long time, I stayed very quiet. So quiet that people sometimes didn’t even notice I was there. I spent almost a year in a shelter, just waiting… not really knowing what I was waiting for. But now, I’ve been given a chance. A real chance to start my life again—with a family. Since leaving the shelter, I’ve been discovering the world little by little. At first, everything felt new and unfamiliar… but something has been changing inside me. I’ve started to wag my tail more, to play, to show my little bits of affection. I think… I’m learning how to be happy. I like people. I really do. Even if I’m a little shy at first, my heart warms up quickly. And with other dogs, I get along just fine—I enjoy having friends around me. My fur is soft and fluffy, and I love gentle touches. If you sit beside me and reach out your hand, I’ll slowly come closer… and maybe, one day, I’ll lean into you without hesitation. There are still many things I don’t know yet. I might not understand house rules right away. I’m still learning about walks, about potty training, about how to live inside a home. Sometimes I might make mistakes… but I promise, I’m trying my best. Because I’ve never really had a family before, being alone might feel a little scary at first. New places and new people can make me nervous too. But I’ve heard that with time, patience, and love… those feelings can fade. What I need isn’t a perfect family. I just need someone who will wait for me, teach me gently, and grow with me. I may seem a little unsure in the beginning, but if you stay with me… if you give me time… I will open my heart. And when I do, I’ll show you a brighter, playful side of me— the kind of happiness that only a dog who has learned love can give. I’ve spent enough time waiting. Now, I just want a warm home… and someone to call my own. Will you be my forever family? 🤍
