Story
🐶 Quick Facts! · Name: Hamduk · Age: 5 years old (approximate) · Gender: Male · Neutered: Yes · Breed: Mixed · Colour: White · Weight: 3.6kg 🌱With Humans🐕 Hamduk is a bit shy at first, but with some tasty treats🧁, he’ll quickly become your best friend! Once he feels comfortable, he enjoys being carried and will even roll over for belly rubs. He’s friendly and will greet new doggy friends, although he prefers gentle interactions rather than rough play. With a moderate energy level, Hamduk loves outdoor walks and is calm indoors. While he may pull a bit during walks, he generally follows his handler well. 🐶Behavior with Resources🐾 Hamduk does exhibit resource guarding behaviors towards other dogs and people. He will bark if he needs something and gives a “woof” when he sees strangers. 🏠Adjustment to New Environments🚽 In new environments, he may mark his territory initially, but he settles down quickly once he feels at home. 🥩Food Motivation🥕 He is very food motivated, so be sure to keep your hands out of sight when giving treats!😅 🗒️Special Notes✏️ Be aware that he has a habit of nipping at strangers’ ankles if they turn their backs😱. Supervision is essential to ensure he doesn’t receive too much attention from unfamiliar faces. 💌Last Message💌 Hamduk is looking for a loving home where he can feel secure and appreciated. If you think you can provide the right environment for him, please reach out!

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

Stevie is a sweet playful boy. He is a curly haired non shedder who is a year old. He is a mix of what seems to be a westie or a maltese with a poodle perhaps. He loves to stand on his back legs and wave. Stevie is smart and does great with other dogs and is fine with cats. Stevie walks on a leash and is house trained. Stevie weighs about 25 pounds and is bigger than a maltese. One ear turns up and the other turns down. He is a mix of white and apricot and is all around adorable. He would love to go for rides and walks and be trained to do tricks and just have fun. He is neutered, up to date on shots, and healthy.

Story
This sweet boy was found as a stray and no one came for him. He needed to be shaved down as matted on arrival to the shelter. A local rescue in South Korea pulled him as it wasn't safe to stay at the shelter. Douglas has no teeth hence why his tongue hangs out a bit. It just makes him more adorable. He is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, utd vaccinations, blood work all normal, Snap 4dx negative, and will come with a vet Health Certificate. He simply needs a forever home. If interested in Douglas, please email dcdgavel@gmail.com for an adoption application.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
He is a very good dog, he is an adult, he is calm, he likes children, he always barks when we get home and when he wants to go out to do his business and sometimes he pees at home because we take him out early in the morning and in the late afternoon. We want to find him a home because it is difficult for us to keep him in the apartment, to take him out for walks more often to prevent him from peeing at home and we also travel a lot and it is difficult to find someone to take care of him.
