Story
 Quick Facts  Name: Sasha Age: 6 years old Gender: Female Neutered/Sprayed: Yes Breed: Maltese Mix Color: White Weight: 3kg All About Me Hi there! I’m Sasha, a petite and loving six-year-old Maltese mix. With my delicate frame of just 3 kg (6.6 lbs) and a soft, snowy white coat, I’m as charming as they come. I’m on the lookout for a forever home where I can be the center of attention and shower my family with all the love and affection I have to give. Personality I’m a classic Maltese mix—sweet, affectionate, and brimming with charm. I adore people and won’t hesitate to snuggle up, whether you’re a familiar face or someone new. Pick me up for a cuddle, and I’ll happily oblige. I’m also wonderfully gentle and soft-spoken. While I may occasionally "talk," my voice is on the quieter side (perhaps due to a past vocal surgery). While I’ve never met children under 13, my gentle nature suggests I could adapt well with patient introductions. My Social Side I thrive on human attention and love being the focus of my family’s world. While I adore people, I’m less enthusiastic about other pets. I like to think of myself as a one-and-only pup, preferring to have my humans all to myself. My protective streak means I might try to assert myself with other pets, so I’m happiest as the sole furry family member. With this in mind, I’d do best in a home where I can be spoiled and loved as the only pet. My love for people knows no bounds—I’ll greet you with joy and shower you with affection at every opportunity! My Energy Level & Walks I have a moderate energy level, so I enjoy light playtime and a bit of outdoor exploration. Afterward, I’m more than happy to settle down and relax by your side, making me a great match for a cozy home environment. I’m not particularly fond of car rides, so I’ll need a little reassurance (and maybe a helping hand) to get in and out. Once we’re on the road, I’ll settle in as long as you’re nearby. While I’m playful and love to explore during walks, I won’t tug too hard on the leash, making our outings peaceful and enjoyable. My Behavior at Home I’m good with both indoor potty pads and outdoor routines, so I can adjust to your preferences. I’m also respectful with food—I don’t guard my meals from people or other pets. When I want something, I’ll politely let you know with gentle "requests," never causing a fuss. At home, I’ll be your shadow, following you around and basking in your company. While I can be independent when needed, I prefer to stick close to my humans and enjoy their presence. Why I’m Looking for You I’m a tender-hearted dog with a little bit of a sensitive side. While I’m brave and loving with people, I’d do best in a home where I don’t have to compete with other pets for attention. I’d flourish in a calm, loving environment where I can be doted on and spoiled like the princess I am. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will bring joy and devotion to your life, I might be the perfect match for you. Let’s meet soon—I can’t wait to be part of your family!  Videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T_QGfh_kTE&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JzOpoz9rXDbw0qh555qpmTO ##2256504##

 Quick Facts  Name: Oliver Age: 4-5 years old Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Maltipoo Color: Brown Weight: 3 kg All About Me Hello! I’m Oliver, a delightful 4–5-year-old Maltipoo with a gorgeous brown coat and a petite frame, weighing just 3 kg (6.6 lbs). I was rescued from a high-risk situation at the Pyeongtaek shelter, and now I’m ready to find a loving forever home where I can truly shine. Let me tell you all about myself! Personality At first, I might appear a little shy around new faces, but don’t let that fool you—I warm up quickly! Within a few days to a week, I’ll be your best friend, eagerly seeking your affection and companionship. You can scoop me up for cuddles, and I won’t mind at all. I’m also gentle and quiet, making me a great fit for a calm household. While I haven’t met young children yet, my polite and mild-mannered nature suggests I could adapt well with proper introductions. My Social Side I’m a peaceful and independent pup who doesn’t crave constant interaction with other dogs. While I’ll politely coexist with canine friends, I don’t seek out playtime with them. I much prefer the company of my human family. My focus is on bonding with you, and I’ll happily stick by your side, bringing warmth and comfort to your days. As for cats or other small animals, I haven’t had the chance to meet them yet, but my calm demeanor suggests I could adjust with proper supervision. My Energy Level & Walks I have a balanced energy level, meaning I enjoy outdoor adventures and light playtime, but I’m equally content relaxing indoors afterward. My tiny frame makes getting into a car a bit of a challenge, but with a little lift from you, I’ll settle in just fine. When it comes to walks, I’m a wonderful companion who doesn’t pull on the leash. I love exploring the world with you at a gentle pace. Afterward, I’ll happily curl up for some quiet time. My Behavior at Home I’m very well-behaved around food and don’t guard my meals from people or pets. I’m also a quiet little guy—I rarely bark, preferring to express myself through my affectionate actions. I’m flexible with both indoor potty pads and outdoor routines, so you can choose what works best for your lifestyle. I also settle nicely in my kennel, making me a low-maintenance companion. Why I’m Looking for You While I may have been timid in the shelter, I’ve blossomed into a playful and loving dog. I even enjoy a bit of mischief with my trusted humans, showing my playful side once I feel safe. I’m looking for a patient and caring family who can give me time to adjust and a stable environment where I can thrive. If you’re searching for a sweet, low-maintenance companion with a heart full of love, I could be the perfect match for you. Let’s meet soon—I can’t wait to make you smile every day!  Videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMt1CdnIATA&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JxdsCRdDQ8t5F-xATCHQ0lD ##2256491##
