Story
Here's what the humans have to say about me: Cami is a male Jack Russell Terrier mix, estimated to be around one year old, with a small build weighing 5 kg. Although he has a painful past of being rescued just before euthanasia at a shelter, Cami is a bright and affectionate dog with a loving personality. He adores people and is friendly with everyone without hesitation. He is gentle with smaller dogs and gets along well with larger ones, showing excellent social skills. Most importantly, Cami longs for love and needs an environment where someone is always by his side. Since he may become anxious when left alone for long periods, a household where at least one family member stays home would be ideal. With an energetic personality, Cami enjoys jumping and playing with toys, requiring opportunities to release his energy. A home with a yard or frequent visits to a dog park would be perfect for him. As he lacks experience living in a home, he may chew on household items, but with enough toys and proper playtime, he can develop positive habits. His overall health is good, though he has a dental misalignment. However, this does not affect his ability to chew and instead adds to his unique charm. Cami is waiting for a loving family to welcome him. Please help him start a new life in a warm and caring home!

 Quick Facts  Name: Mongshell Age: 1 year old Gender: Female Neutered/Sprayed: Yes Breed: Terrier Mix Color: Beige Weight: 9kg My Story Hi, I’m Mongshell, a sweet and playful 1-year-old Terrier mix with a soft beige coat. I weigh 9kg and have a heart full of love to share. My journey began in a difficult situation—I was rescued from a mountain beekeeping farm where I had been tied up and abandoned. Despite my rough start, I’ve grown into a lively and affectionate pup, ready to find my forever family. My Personality I’m a gentle soul with a touch of shyness when meeting new people. I adore toys—chewing and chasing them brings me so much joy! I also have a quirky love for shoes and slippers, so my future family might want to keep those safely tucked away. I’m happiest when I’m playing, exploring, or snuggling with my loved ones. Social SkillsWith people, I’m initially cautious, but with other dogs, I’m a peace-loving pup who gets along well with friends of all sizes. I enjoy meeting new furry pals and often look to them for guidance in unfamiliar situations. If another dog gets upset, I’ll politely walk away to avoid conflict. As for cats, I haven’t had much experience with them yet, so I’m not sure how I’d react. Energy and ActivitiesI’m an energetic pup who loves outdoor adventures and playtime with other dogs. After a day of running around, I settle down nicely at home and enjoy some quiet time. While I’m curious and love exploring, I feel nervous around busy streets or loud noises, so I prefer quieter walking routes. Training and HabitsI’m smart, food-motivated, and eager to learn. I’m fully outdoor potty-trained and try my best to communicate my needs. I’m crate-trained and stay calm and relaxed in my kennel. While I rarely bark, I might let out a few barks when meeting someone new, but I settle down quickly once reassured. My Ideal HomeI’m searching for a family that will embrace my playful, energetic nature and understand my slightly shy side. I’d thrive in a home where I can play with other dogs or receive plenty of love and attention from my humans. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to share walks, playtime, and cuddles, I could be the perfect addition to your family. Special NotesI absolutely adore toys, especially ones I can chew or chase.I have a playful obsession with shoes and slippers—be prepared to keep them safe!I’m peaceful and avoid conflict with other dogs.With love, patience, and tasty treats, I’ll flourish as your loyal and loving companion. ##2288087##

Story
Quick Facts Name: Zeus Birthday: 8 months (Born May 22, 2024) Gender: Male Neutered: Scheduled for February 12, 2025 Breed: Terrier Mix Color: Black & Brown Weight: 7kg All About Me Hi there! My name is Zeus, and I’m an energetic and lovable pup with a heart as big as my name. At 8 months old, I’m still a puppy, which means I’m full of curiosity, playfulness, and a love for life. I’m always ready to learn, explore, and make new friends—whether they’re people or other dogs! My Personality I may be the biggest among my siblings, but I’m also the most gentle and thoughtful one. I love to observe, take everything in, and quickly understand what’s expected of me. I’m a loyal and affectionate pup, and once I trust you, I’ll follow you anywhere! I enjoy being around people and have a naturally friendly nature. Whether it’s someone I’ve known forever or someone I’m meeting for the first time, I’m happy to say hello and soak up some affection. I’m also great with other dogs—I love meeting new friends and inviting them to play! Even though I have plenty of puppy energy, I have a calm and balanced personality compared to my siblings. I’m playful, but I don’t act impulsively—I like to think before I leap! On My Walks I’m still getting used to the big world outside, and sometimes new places make me pause for a moment. But once I know I’m safe, I trust my human to guide me and happily follow along. I’m currently learning to walk on a leash and getting more confident every day! Life at Home I’m already doing great with potty training—I can use both indoor pee pads and go outside when needed. I also don’t mind sharing my food with people but other dogs, I am little bit more protective. I rarely bark as well. My Ideal Home I would love a family that will help me continue learning and growing with patience and encouragement. Here’s what I’m hoping for: - A Loving & Supportive Home: I thrive when I feel safe and connected to my people.- Outdoor Adventures: I enjoy walks and playtime to keep my body and mind engaged.- Gentle Training & Guidance: I’m eager to learn and love making my humans proud. Last Message I’m a sweet, smart, and loyal pup who is ready to find my forever family. If you’re looking for a fun-loving companion with a big heart, I’d love to meet you! ##2301039##

My Personality If you’re looking for a dog who brings joy, excitement, and non-stop fun into your life, I might just be the one for you!

I absolutely adore people—whether I’ve known you for years or just met you, I’ll be the first to run up for pets and cuddles. I don’t hesitate to show affection, and I might even give you a little nuzzle or hop up on my hind legs just to say, “Hey, I love you!” When it comes to other dogs, I’m friendly and social, but I tend to prefer human companionship the most. I love playing with my people, following them around, and soaking up all the attention I can get.

I’m currently working on my leash skills, and with a little patience and guidance, I’ll be a fantastic walking buddy in no time. Life at Home I’m already doing great with potty training—I can use both indoor pee pads and go outside when needed. I also don’t mind sharing my food with people and other dogs.

Story
Quick Facts Name: Maison Age: 5 years old Gender: Female Neutered/Sprayed: Yes Breed: Russell Terrier Mix  Color: White & Brown & Black Weight: 13kg All About Me Hi, I’m Maison! I’m a five-year-old Russell Terrier mix, weighing 13kg. I was rescued from a shelter where I was at risk of euthanasia, but now I have a second chance at finding a loving home. I’m a friendly, affectionate dog with a big heart and a playful spirit, and I can’t wait to meet my forever family! My Personality I love people! Whether you’re someone I know or a total stranger, I’ll come right up to you, lean in for pets, and happily soak up all the attention. I enjoy being picked up, cuddled, and scratched—honestly, the more love, the better! My ability to bond with humans is one of my best qualities. I always make eye contact, and if you look at me, I’ll wag my tail as if I’ve been waiting just for you. How I Get Along with Other Dogs I enjoy meeting and greeting new dog friends and will often invite them to play. I don’t mind sharing space with other dogs, though I once had a brief standoff over treats—but don’t worry, it didn’t last long, and we made up right away! If you already have another dog with a similar energy level, I’d probably love having a sibling to play with. I haven’t met any cats yet, so I’m not sure how I’d react to them. My Energy Level I have a balanced energy level. I love outdoor activities and playing, but I also know how to settle down and relax. Sometimes, I start off a little excited, but I calm down quickly. I enjoy walks, though I might pull on the leash a bit at first—I just get excited to explore! My Good Habits I don’t guard my food from people, but I may give a little grumble if another dog gets too close while I’m eating. Other than that, I’m easygoing and well-mannered. I rarely bark, so I won’t be a noisy housemate. I’m also comfortable in a kennel when needed. When it comes to potty time, I’m flexible—I can use indoor pee pads or go outside. Whatever works best for my new home, I’m happy to adapt! What I’m Looking for in a Home I would love to be part of a family that enjoys spending time together, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just relaxing at home. If you already have another dog with a similar energy level, I’d be happy to have a playmate. But if I’m your only dog, that’s okay too—I’ll be more than happy getting all the attention from you! Special Message I have the strong, muscular build of a true terrier, and while I can be full of energy, I settle down quickly. My biggest joy is being with people—I love affection, eye contact, and just being part of a family. If you’re looking for a loving, social, and well-mannered companion, I might be the perfect dog for you. I can’t wait to find my forever home! ##2307378##

Quick Facts Name: Robin Age: 4 years old approximate  Gender: Female  Neutered/Sprayed: Yes Breed: Terrier Mix (estimated)  Color: Soft Black  Weight: 6.4kg  Rescue Story Rescued from a difficult past, now ready for a loving home Meet Robin: A Gentle Soul with a Heart of Gold! Hello! I’m Robin, a sweet and gentle girl with a soft heart and a quiet charm. My journey started in a tough place, but I’ve come a long way, and now I’m looking for a family who will cherish me. I may take a little time to open up, but once I do, you’ll see just how loving and loyal I can be! My Personality I have a calm and gentle nature, and I love being around kind people. It may take me a moment to warm up, but once I trust you, I’ll be right by your side. I’m polite, easygoing, and love peaceful moments just as much as outdoor adventures. And while I’m still learning to enjoy being held, I know with patience and love, I’ll get there in no time! My Social Life •   With People: I may be a little shy at first, but with a tasty treat and a kind approach, I warm up quickly. I’m especially gentle with young children! •   With Other Dogs: I enjoy meeting other dogs and say hello politely, though I prefer calmer friends over very high-energy ones. •   With Cats: When I see a cat on a walk, I stay focused on my person and don’t pay much attention to them.  On My Walks I love a good walk! I have great leash manners and enjoy exploring at a steady pace. I do best in quieter areas and feel most comfortable away from heavy traffic or loud noises. Life at HomeI have wonderful house manners and am happy to do my business outside or on a pee pad. I rarely bark, love a cozy kennel for resting, and appreciate a peaceful environment. While I don’t guard my food from people, I do prefer to enjoy my meals without other dogs too close. My Ideal Home •   Affectionate: I’m looking for a family who will cherish me and include me in their daily life. •   Patient & Gentle: Someone who understands that I may need a little time to adjust, but once I do, I’ll be a deeply loyal companion. •   Calm & Comforting: I’d thrive in a home that offers a peaceful, loving environment where I can feel safe and secure. Could I be the perfect match for you? I can’t wait to start our journey together! ##2308833##
