ALL ABOUT ME  Name: Songyi Age: 3 years old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Labrador Retriever Colour: Beige Weight: 30kg / 66lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY Hi there! My name is Songyi. When I was first rescued, I had been neglected and was in pretty rough shape. I even had a large lump on my neck, but thanks to the care I received, it’s now gone and I’m feeling so much better! I’m ready to leave my past behind and start a brand-new chapter filled with love, comfort, and a family to call my own.   MY HEALTH Fully vaccinated (5-round series complete) I’ve been spayed and have no known health issues.   MY PERSONALITY I don’t let my dark past define me or take away my shine! When you meet me, the first thing you’ll notice is what a sweet, happy girl I am. I’m always smiling, often with a toy proudly carried in my mouth, ready to play. I’m also super smart and eager to please, which makes me a joy to train. More than anything, I adore human companionship—every time I see you, I’ll greet you with the excitement of someone who feels like it’s been 10 years since our last hello! I love leaning in close for comfort and gentle pets, and I already know some basic commands like sit, paw, and wait. With my loving heart and bright spirit, I’m ready to make every day with my forever family full of joy.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS With People: You’ll notice right away how much I love being around people! I’m incredibly friendly with both familiar faces and new friends, and I soak up all the pets and attention I can get. I often roll over to show my belly as a sign of trust—it’s one of my favorite ways to say, “I feel safe with you.” Despite my size, I’m easy to pick up and enjoy being held. I’m also gentle and patient with children, making me a wonderful companion for families. Around food, I’m very easygoing and never guard my meals, which makes me a truly sweet and loving presence at home. With Dogs:  I enjoy meeting new dog friends and saying hello, but after the introductions, I usually prefer to do my own thing. When it comes to mealtime, I can be a little protective of my food if other dogs are too close—I might give a growl to let them know I need my space. For that reason, it’s best if I’m fed separately, just to keep things peaceful. I really am more of a people’s dog at heart—I’d much rather spend my time with my favorite humans than in rough-and-tumble play. That said, I still get along well with the other dogs at the training facility and know how to coexist politely. With Cats:  I haven’t met any cats yet, but with a slow and thoughtful introduction, I think I could learn to live peacefully with a feline friend.   ENERGY AND ACTIVITIES I’m a high-energy pup who loves to stay active! I need plenty of exercise, playtime, and room to run around so I can burn off my zoomies. Once I’ve had my fun and exhausted my energy, I’m more than happy to settle down indoors for some cozy relaxation by your side.   TRAINING & HABITS I’m a good walker and usually follow my handler’s lead nicely, though I can get a little excited and pull when something catches my eye. Since I’m a big, strong girl (around 30kg!), I’ll need a bit of management when meeting new people or on walks—I sometimes get so happy that I might pull or jump to say hello, which could accidentally knock over a child or smaller person. I’m still learning how to manage my excitement, and with patient guidance from my forever family, I know I’ll become calmer and better every day. I already know how to rest comfortably in my kennel—it’s my safe little space—and I’m eager to learn and please. I may bark occasionally to ask for attention, but otherwise I’m a sweet, easygoing girl. I know how to use both indoor and outdoor potty, though with a steady walking routine, I’d much prefer to potty outdoors like a pro!   MY IDEAL HOME I’m looking for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: A family that offers a safe, structured, and calm environment. A family that enjoys spending quality time together indoors & outdoors. A family that can shower me with love and attention. A family who understands my high energy needs and is committed to giving me regular exercise, along with continued training to help me walk politely and greet people more calmly—so my big, happy hellos don’t accidentally knock anyone over! Ideally the only dog in the family, or a calm and confident dog sibling who will respect my space. Understanding of my love for food and willing to train me with love and patience so I learn to be more patient around other dogs during meal times.   SPECIAL NOTES When you meet me, you may notice the scars on my body—reminders of the abuse and neglect I went through in my past. But I don’t let those marks define me. I’m ready to start a new chapter with my forever family, one filled with love, safety, and care for the rest of my life. I truly deserve all the affection and undivided attention the right family can give, and I promise to give my whole heart in return. As I settle in, it’s recommended that I’m double-leashed with both a collar and harness (and even a gentle leader if needed) just to help me feel secure and make walks a little easier for everyone. With patience and love, I know I’ll blossom into the loyal, loving companion I was always meant to be.   Songyi's YouTube Playlist ##2621957##

QUICK FACTS  Name: Morning Age: 1 year 10 months Gender: Female Spayed/Neutered: Yes Breed: Labrador, jindo mix Colour: White Weight: 13kg / 28.6lbs Microchipped: Yes   MY RESCUE STORY  Hi there! My name is Morning, and just like the sunrise, I represent a brand-new beginning. I was rescued from the euthanasia list at a city pound, given a second chance when things looked so dark. Back in March, I thought I had found my forever family, but sadly, they didn’t fully understand my sensitive, skittish nature or feel prepared to support me through my heartworm treatment. Luckily, I didn’t lose hope—because a kind and patient foster family opened their home and hearts to me. With their love and care, I’ve truly begun to blossom. These days, I’m so much brighter, happier, and ready to keep shining even more in my journey to find a forever family who will cherish me for who I am.   MY HEALTH Fully vaccinated (5-round series complete) Neutered Currently going through early stages of heartworm treatment    MY PERSONALITY My foster family says I’m the whole package—sweet, gentle, intelligent, playful, and loyal, with just the right dash of goofy charm. I love making people smile, and I have the funniest, most expressive little face that will keep you laughing every day. My foster parents always say my floppy ears make me look just like Dobby from Harry Potter, and honestly, I think it just adds to my one-of-a-kind cuteness!    MY SOCIAL SKILLS With People: I may be a little shy at first, but with gentle approaches and a bit of patience, I’ll start to open up and show you my sweet side. Once I feel safe, I love receiving pets and affection—it just takes me a little time to adjust to new environments. My foster family says I’m very intelligent and eager to please, and nothing makes me happier than hearing gentle praises and encouragement. When you tell me I’ve done well, my tail wags nonstop! I’m learning to lean on my foster parent more each day, and with love and patience, my confidence continues to grow.   With Dogs:  I do best with slow introductions at first, as it gives me time to feel safe and comfortable. I get along better with gentle, well-mannered dogs who aren’t too rowdy or pushy. Lately, I’ve even been showing more curiosity and playful behavior with the dogs in my area! In my foster home, I do really well with my two foster siblings—I rely on them for confidence, love following their lead, and we have lots of fun playtime together. I would also do well as the only dog in the home, or with calm and respectful doggy friends. Having my own cozy place to rest, like a bed that’s just for me, helps me feel secure and happy.   With Cats: I don’t have much experience with cats yet, but with my gentle and sweet nature, I believe I’ll do just fine with thoughtful introductions. I’m the kind of pup who’s happy to quietly sit near cats and tolerate their presence, so with patience and care, I can learn to live peacefully alongside a feline friend.   ENERGY LEVEL I have a low-to-medium energy level. I love going for leashed walks and enjoy a good off-leash romp in a fully enclosed area where I can safely stretch my legs. Once I’ve had my bit of outdoor fun, I’m content to settle down quietly indoors. I also know how to keep myself entertained with toys when I’m in the mood, which makes me a pretty easygoing companion.    TRAINING & HABITS   When it comes to leash walking, I’m already doing quite well and improving every day! I’m a fast learner and eager to please, which makes training me a fun and rewarding experience. Sometimes, if I feel unsure in a new environment or around unfamiliar people or dogs, I may pull a little on leash—but with gentle encouragement and a bit of space, I quickly relax and follow along nicely.   I’m also a polite pup when it comes to barking. Occasionally, I’ll give a short alert bark if I hear noises in the condo hallway or while at the dog park, but nothing excessive. I’m very responsive to the “quiet” command and love being praised when I listen, which helps me keep my cool.   Car rides are still something I’m learning to get comfortable with. Sometimes I can get a little queasy or drooly from nerves, but I’m making progress with practice and patience. Making sure my tummy is empty before the trip really helps me feel better. With time, I know I’ll continue to grow more confident and relaxed.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m searching for a patient, loving family who can help me grow and become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: A family that offers a fun, structured, and safe environment as I come out of my shell. A family that enjoys outdoor activities and spending quality time together. A family that can shower me with love and attention. A family who understands that I can be a little skittish or nervous around new environments, people, and dogs, and is willing to guide me gently with patience, giving me the time I need to grow confident and show off my true silly, playful, and goofy side. A home as an only dog or with confident & respectful dog siblings.    SPECIAL NOTES  When I first came to my foster home, I was shy, anxious, and unsure of my new world. But with gentle approaches and patience, I quickly warmed up—I even claimed a cozy spot on the couch! I do best when I have my own bed and space, but I’ve been thriving with my two foster dog siblings. They give me confidence, and I love having a playmate. I’d also do well as an only dog, as long as my family gives me patience and structure. I enjoy leash walks, though I feel safest on quiet routes. Busy, noisy streets can scare me, but with time and encouragement, I’m learning to be brave. Off-leash in enclosed areas, I stay close by and have great recall. I’m also a smart girl who learns quickly—sometimes a little stubborn, but once I know a skill, I’m solid! I love belly rubs, head scratches, and being praised—it makes me beam with happiness. I can get a little overexcited when playing, but I’m improving every day with guidance. I’m still young, silly, and eager to please, and with the right family, I’ll blossom into the most loyal and loving companion. For More YouTube Clips, Click Below!

Meet Lucille, a 2 year old Labrador! Lucille was captured by urban management in November 2024. Back then she was skinny as bones and had a skin condition. Now she is all healed up and with a foster family. At her foster family's, Lucille has learned lots - she walks great on leash, loves to cuddle with her humans, and gets along great with other dogs! Lucille is just such a love bug! Lucille does have a slight condition - when she is overly excited or in a new environment, she will occasionally clatter her mouth. We have done testing on her but have found nothing wrong psychologically or physically. The doctors believe they are idiopathic tremors. She is currently on meds but condition has not worsen or improved. This will stay with Lucille her entire life, and may evolve into epilepsy in the worst case scenario. She is currently in China, but available to fly to you in the coming months. Please send us an email if you are interested in learning more about Lucille and our adoption process!

Meet Kia   a lifetime of love, ready for one more chapter   Kia is a 15-year-old, 55-pound mixed breed with a gentle soul and a heart full of love to give. She has been cherished her whole life, and it shows in her calm demeanor and joyful spirit. Age has only softened her, it hasn’t dimmed her spark.   Despite being a senior, Kia still enjoys life’s simple pleasures. She loves her daily walks, trips to the garden center, and tagging along to a pet-friendly coffee shop. At home, you’ll often find her happily pouncing on soft toys, working on puzzle games, or soaking up the sun. She greets new people with a polite sniff and is content to stay close by, just enjoying your company.   Kia has done well with other dogs, she’s playful when off lead and generally relaxed on walks, preferring to keep to her side of the street and calmly pass by. She sleeps peacefully on her own bed at night and can stay home alone without any concerns. She’s house trained, though her “old lady bladder” appreciates a little extra help with potty breaks every 6–8 hours.   Kia does have arthritis but she has had thorough veterinary care including bloodwork, urine and fecal testing, and an abdominal ultrasound - all showing she’s in good overall health. She’s a wonderful reminder that senior dogs still have so much love, joy, and companionship to offer.   This special girl is looking for a home that values unhurried walks, warm sunbeams, and cozy movie nights. If you believe that the best relationships are built on quiet moments and unconditional love, Kia may be the perfect companion to share your days.   Adopting a senior is an act of love and Kia will return it tenfold.    December 14, 2025, 10:54 am

My name is Morning, and just like the sunrise, I represent a brand-new beginning. I was rescued from the euthanasia list at a city pound, given a second chance when things looked so dark. Back in March, I thought I had found my forever family, but sadly, they didn’t fully understand my sensitive, skittish nature or feel prepared to support me through my heartworm treatment. Luckily, I didn’t lose hope—because a kind and patient foster family opened their home and hearts to me. With their love and care, I’ve truly begun to blossom. These days, I’m so much brighter, happier, and ready to keep shining even more in my journey to find a forever family who will cherish me for who I am.   MY HEALTH Fully vaccinated (5-round series complete) Neutered Currently going through early stages of heartworm treatment    MY PERSONALITY My foster family says I’m the whole package—sweet, gentle, intelligent, playful, and loyal, with just the right dash of goofy charm. I love making people smile, and I have the funniest, most expressive little face that will keep you laughing every day. My foster parents always say my floppy ears make me look just like Dobby from Harry Potter, and honestly, I think it just adds to my one-of-a-kind cuteness!    MY SOCIAL SKILLS With People: I may be a little shy at first, but with gentle approaches and a bit of patience, I’ll start to open up and show you my sweet side. Once I feel safe, I love receiving pets and affection—it just takes me a little time to adjust to new environments. My foster family says I’m very intelligent and eager to please, and nothing makes me happier than hearing gentle praises and encouragement. When you tell me I’ve done well, my tail wags nonstop! I’m learning to lean on my foster parent more each day, and with love and patience, my confidence continues to grow.   With Dogs:  I do best with slow introductions at first, as it gives me time to feel safe and comfortable. I get along better with gentle, well-mannered dogs who aren’t too rowdy or pushy. Lately, I’ve even been showing more curiosity and playful behavior with the dogs in my area! In my foster home, I do really well with my two foster siblings—I rely on them for confidence, love following their lead, and we have lots of fun playtime together. I would also do well as the only dog in the home, or with calm and respectful doggy friends. Having my own cozy place to rest, like a bed that’s just for me, helps me feel secure and happy.   With Cats: I don’t have much experience with cats yet, but with my gentle and sweet nature, I believe I’ll do just fine with thoughtful introductions. I’m the kind of pup who’s happy to quietly sit near cats and tolerate their presence, so with patience and care, I can learn to live peacefully alongside a feline friend.   ENERGY LEVEL I have a low-to-medium energy level. I love going for leashed walks and enjoy a good off-leash romp in a fully enclosed area where I can safely stretch my legs. Once I’ve had my bit of outdoor fun, I’m content to settle down quietly indoors. I also know how to keep myself entertained with toys when I’m in the mood, which makes me a pretty easygoing companion.    TRAINING & HABITS   When it comes to leash walking, I’m already doing quite well and improving every day! I’m a fast learner and eager to please, which makes training me a fun and rewarding experience. Sometimes, if I feel unsure in a new environment or around unfamiliar people or dogs, I may pull a little on leash—but with gentle encouragement and a bit of space, I quickly relax and follow along nicely.   I’m also a polite pup when it comes to barking. Occasionally, I’ll give a short alert bark if I hear noises in the condo hallway or while at the dog park, but nothing excessive. I’m very responsive to the “quiet” command and love being praised when I listen, which helps me keep my cool.   Car rides are still something I’m learning to get comfortable with. Sometimes I can get a little queasy or drooly from nerves, but I’m making progress with practice and patience. Making sure my tummy is empty before the trip really helps me feel better. With time, I know I’ll continue to grow more confident and relaxed.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m searching for a patient, loving family who can help me grow and become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: A family that offers a fun, structured, and safe environment as I come out of my shell. A family that enjoys outdoor activities and spending quality time together. A family that can shower me with love and attention. A family who understands that I can be a little skittish or nervous around new environments, people, and dogs, and is willing to guide me gently with patience, giving me the time I need to grow confident and show off my true silly, playful, and goofy side. A home as an only dog or with confident & respectful dog siblings.    SPECIAL NOTES  When I first came to my foster home, I was shy, anxious, and unsure of my new world. But with gentle approaches and patience, I quickly warmed up—I even claimed a cozy spot on the couch! I do best when I have my own bed and space, but I’ve been thriving with my two foster dog siblings. They give me confidence, and I love having a playmate. I’d also do well as an only dog, as long as my family gives me patience and structure. I enjoy leash walks, though I feel safest on quiet routes. Busy, noisy streets can scare me, but with time and encouragement, I’m learning to be brave. Off-leash in enclosed areas, I stay close by and have great recall. I’m also a smart girl who learns quickly—sometimes a little stubborn, but once I know a skill, I’m solid! I love belly rubs, head scratches, and being praised—it makes me beam with happiness. I can get a little overexcited when playing, but I’m improving every day with guidance. I’m still young, silly, and eager to please, and with the right family, I’ll blossom into the most loyal and loving companion. For More YouTube Clips, Click Below!
