Port Coquitlam, BC

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
✅️Currently located in South Korea✅️ Meet Noah🤍 💙 Noah’s Account: @aki.noa.sushi 1. Health • Neutering/Spaying: Completed • Other: Microchipped; had bladder stone surgery and molar extraction. Fully blind in one eye due to cataracts. Experiences coughing when temperatures drop, requiring steroid medication if coughing occurs. Has partial hearing loss. All teeth except molars have been extracted, so he cannot eat hard treats. 2. Rescue Story • Noah was rescued from a breeding facility alongside Aji and Aki before Adogs officially formed. He was adopted, but after his adopter passed away suddenly in September 2024, Noah returned to Adogs. He is looking for a family to help him overcome his grief and begin a new chapter of life. 3. Personality & Habits • With People: Very affectionate and sweet, loves both strangers and familiar people, and often approaches first asking for pets. • With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs, both familiar and new friends. May show cute jealousy if another dog gets attention. • Separation Anxiety: Calm when left with Aki, though Aki has separation anxiety that affects Noah. If left with another dog or person, he waits quietly. • House Training: Fully pee pad trained (100% accuracy), though he prefers pooping outdoors. He tends to pee near the edge of the pad, so surrounding it with a fence or holder is helpful. • Hygiene/Grooming: Very calm and well-behaved during baths, drying, and brushing. • Walking on Leash: Walks well on a leash without pulling and keeps pace nicely. 4. Special Notes • May bark briefly when a stranger enters the room for the first time. In the evenings, he may bark for 5 minutes normally, or 20–30 minutes if he has extra energy. • Has a strong food drive and eats quickly when excited for meals, so feeding slowly and calmly is recommended.

Story
**Note: Currently Shongshong is in a foster home in Vancouver living with a cat and dogs. For more info about the dog or the adoption application, please follow the link. BackgroundShongshong was rescued from a puppy mill in Gimpo this past winter. After his rescue, he lived with other dogs until he left Korea. Personality and SocializationShongshong is a very gentle, soft and loving boy. He is shy with people at first and needs time to feel safe and comfortable. Rather than approaching right away, he prefers to observe quietly and move at his own pace. With patience and understanding, he begins to open up and show his sweet personality.With other dogs, Shongshong shines. He is very friendly, especially with small, gentle dogs, and finds great comfort in their presence. He loves being around them and often looks to them for reassurance. He always followed his best friend, Bibi, but he got adopted by a wonderful family in Vancouver. He has not yet been tested with cats, but with a slow proper introduction, he will probably be ok. His personality is very gentle and submissive and nevers showed any agression towards anyone. Anyways very patient, quiet and gentle.BehaviourShongshong rides well in the car and rests quietly during the ride. He is very patient and cooperative at the vet and handles baths and grooming without any issues.

He currently eats dry kibble twice a day and shows no signs of allergies.Ideal HomeShongshong would do best in a calm and quiet home with a fenced backyard. He needs someone patient who understands shy dogs and can give him the time and space he needs to feel safe. Previous dog experience would be ideal. A home with another small, gentle but confident dog is very important for Shongshong. He gains comfort and confidence from other dogs and learns a lot from them.With time, patience, and love, Shongshong will continue to grow and blossom. He is a very gentle and submissive boy, and once he feels safe, he will become a deeply loyal and special companion.

Story
**Note: Currently, Milk is in Korea, but upon adoption, he will fly to Vancouver. For more info about Milk or the adoption application, please follow the link. BackgroundMilk and Latte were rescued from a pet shop this past winter. They formed a very strong bond early on, and we are hoping to find a family who will welcome them both together. They spent a few months in a loving foster home, where they began learning what it means to live in a safe and caring environment. They are now ready to find their forever home. Currently, they are staying at our partner boarding house, where they live comfortably with other dogs.Personality and SocializationMilk is a sweet, gentle, and affectionate boy. He gets along well with other dogs, especially those who are calm and friendly. While he may feel a little unsure around larger dogs, he is happy and playful with dogs closer to his size. His favorite companion is Latte. They are always together, playing, resting, and quietly watching over each other.With people, Milk can be shy at first, especially in new environments. But with time and reassurance, he begins to relax. Having Latte by his side helps him feel safe, and he often follows her lead. He relies on her deeply, and she is like a big sister to him, even though they are not related.Milk has not been tested with cats, but with slow and proper introductions, he will likely adjust well.BehavioursMilk takes great comfort in being with Latte, and with her by his side, he handles new experiences with ease. He is quiet, obedient and patient during car rides, baths, grooming, and vet visits, allowing people to care for him without any trouble.He is currently most comfortable using indoor pee pads. He is still learning leash walking, but with time and encouragement, especially alongside Latte, he is expected to improve quickly.Health and DietMilk is neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. He is up to date on deworming and receives monthly parasite prevention. He eats dry food twice a day and has not shown any signs of allergies.Ideal HomeMilk and Latte are happiest together, so we are looking for a family who can adopt them as a pair. A home with time and energy to care for two dogs would be ideal. Small dog experience is a bonus, along with patience and commitment.They are sweet, smart, and loving dogs who enjoy lounging, playing, and napping side by side. Bringing them home means welcoming two beautiful souls who will fill your home with love and joy.**Note: Currently, Milk is in Korea, but upon adoption, he will fly to Vancouver.
