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

Story
🐶 Quick Facts 🐾 • Name: Yulmu • Age: Approximately 3 years old • Gender: Male • Neutered: Yes • Breed: Bichon Frise • Color: White • Weight: 9 kg • Health History o Vaccinations & Preventatives - All vaccinations are up to date. Antibody tests were conducted, and any missing vaccinations have been completed. o Tested negative for heartworm on May 25, 2024, Surgeries & Dental Care - Neutered on June 1, 2024. Underwent a full dental scaling and received extractions as needed during the procedure. 🐕My Story🐕 Hi there! I’m Yulmu, a ball of fluff and energy with a heart full of love to share. People often say I’m like sunshine on four paws because I bring warmth and smiles wherever I go. I adore meeting new people and will happily wag my way into the hearts of strangers and friends alike. 👨🏻My Social Side 🐕 Kids? No problem—I think they’re wonderful! I’m patient and gentle, even with little ones who are still learning how to be around dogs. I’m also a social butterfly with other dogs. Big or small, I’ll run up with my tail wagging, ready to make friends or dive into a game of tag. I do have a zest for life that keeps me on the move. My energy is boundless, but it’s all in good fun—I’m just so excited to experience everything life has to offer. 🔋My Energy Level & Walks🚶 Oh, the adventures we’ll have! I love going on walks. Every step outside is a chance to explore the world, sniff out exciting smells, and stretch my legs. While I’ve mostly walked in safe, enclosed areas like the hospital grounds since my rescue, I’m eager to try new trails and paths. Sometimes, I might tug a bit on the leash because I’m just so curious, but with a little guidance, I’ll get the hang of it. I’m an endurance champion, too. Even after a playdate with a retriever, I’ll still have energy to spare! Whether it’s a stroll in the park or a lively hike, I’m your go-to adventure buddy. 💕Life at Home😋 Home is where the heart is—and I can’t wait to find my forever one! I thrive in a place full of love, energy, and plenty of room for my personality to shine. I’ll admit, I’m not the biggest fan of being left alone or confined to a kennel. I might vocalize to let you know I’d much rather be out and about with you. I also have a habit of marking my territory indoors and out, but with patience and training, I know I can learn the rules. Despite these quirks, I’m incredibly affectionate. I’ll happily curl up beside you after a long day or nudge you with my nose for extra pets. And don’t be surprised if I bring you my favorite toy—it’s my way of saying, “Let’s play!” 🏠My Ideal Home🏠 I dream of a home filled with laughter, activity, and love—a place where my boundless energy is met with an equally active lifestyle. Here’s what I hope for in my forever family: •Active Adventures: I’d love to join you for long walks, hikes, or even a morning jog. •Patience & Understanding: I’m still learning and growing, so a family that can gently guide me will be perfect. •Companionship: I thrive when I’m around people and don’t enjoy being alone for too long. 💌Last Message💌 If you’re looking for a lively, loyal companion who will keep you smiling and moving, I’m your guy. Let’s start our next adventure together—I can’t wait to meet you! 🐾 📺 Videos📺 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC-7OWY03D8&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwFPeTmmnkr7_bPGNrpJicQ
