Story
Here's what the humans have to say about me: Cami is a male Jack Russell Terrier mix, estimated to be around one year old, with a small build weighing 5 kg. Although he has a painful past of being rescued just before euthanasia at a shelter, Cami is a bright and affectionate dog with a loving personality. He adores people and is friendly with everyone without hesitation. He is gentle with smaller dogs and gets along well with larger ones, showing excellent social skills. Most importantly, Cami longs for love and needs an environment where someone is always by his side. Since he may become anxious when left alone for long periods, a household where at least one family member stays home would be ideal. With an energetic personality, Cami enjoys jumping and playing with toys, requiring opportunities to release his energy. A home with a yard or frequent visits to a dog park would be perfect for him. As he lacks experience living in a home, he may chew on household items, but with enough toys and proper playtime, he can develop positive habits. His overall health is good, though he has a dental misalignment. However, this does not affect his ability to chew and instead adds to his unique charm. Cami is waiting for a loving family to welcome him. Please help him start a new life in a warm and caring home!

 Quick Facts  Name: Mongshell Age: 1 year old Gender: Female Neutered/Sprayed: Yes Breed: Terrier Mix Color: Beige Weight: 9kg My Story Hi, I’m Mongshell, a sweet and playful 1-year-old Terrier mix with a soft beige coat. I weigh 9kg and have a heart full of love to share. My journey began in a difficult situation—I was rescued from a mountain beekeeping farm where I had been tied up and abandoned. Despite my rough start, I’ve grown into a lively and affectionate pup, ready to find my forever family. My Personality I’m a gentle soul with a touch of shyness when meeting new people. I adore toys—chewing and chasing them brings me so much joy! I also have a quirky love for shoes and slippers, so my future family might want to keep those safely tucked away. I’m happiest when I’m playing, exploring, or snuggling with my loved ones. Social SkillsWith people, I’m initially cautious, but with other dogs, I’m a peace-loving pup who gets along well with friends of all sizes. I enjoy meeting new furry pals and often look to them for guidance in unfamiliar situations. If another dog gets upset, I’ll politely walk away to avoid conflict. As for cats, I haven’t had much experience with them yet, so I’m not sure how I’d react. Energy and ActivitiesI’m an energetic pup who loves outdoor adventures and playtime with other dogs. After a day of running around, I settle down nicely at home and enjoy some quiet time. While I’m curious and love exploring, I feel nervous around busy streets or loud noises, so I prefer quieter walking routes. Training and HabitsI’m smart, food-motivated, and eager to learn. I’m fully outdoor potty-trained and try my best to communicate my needs. I’m crate-trained and stay calm and relaxed in my kennel. While I rarely bark, I might let out a few barks when meeting someone new, but I settle down quickly once reassured. My Ideal HomeI’m searching for a family that will embrace my playful, energetic nature and understand my slightly shy side. I’d thrive in a home where I can play with other dogs or receive plenty of love and attention from my humans. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to share walks, playtime, and cuddles, I could be the perfect addition to your family. Special NotesI absolutely adore toys, especially ones I can chew or chase.I have a playful obsession with shoes and slippers—be prepared to keep them safe!I’m peaceful and avoid conflict with other dogs.With love, patience, and tasty treats, I’ll flourish as your loyal and loving companion. ##2288087##

Story
 Quick Facts  Name: Pauline Age: 1 year old Gender: Male Neutered/Sprayed: Yes Breed: Terrier Mix Color: White Weight: 10kg Hi, I’m Pauline! I’m a cheerful and lovable one-year-old Terrier mix with a fluffy white coat and a heart full of affection. Weighing around 10kg, I’m an energetic and playful pup who’s always ready for a fun adventure. My journey started in a shelter in Masan, where my mother gave birth to me and my four siblings. Unfortunately, she was too sick to survive, leaving us behind to fend for ourselves. But now, I’m here, hoping to find a forever home that will give me all the love I never got as a baby. My PersonalityI’m an incredibly sweet and good-natured dog who loves people and enjoys making new friends. While I may act a little shy at first, it doesn’t take long before I start wagging my tail and leaning in for pets. I’m a bit of a goofball, often acting silly and playful, but I have a heart as pure as gold. I may not be the smartest pup in the world, but what I lack in wit, I make up for in love and loyalty. I don’t have an aggressive bone in my body—I approach everything and everyone with curiosity and kindness. Social SkillsWith people, I might act reserved for the first few moments, but once I get a sense of warmth and safety, I’m quick to let my guard down. I even let strangers pick me up without a fuss! With other dogs, I’m friendly and easygoing, though I tend to avoid overly energetic or pushy dogs. I like to observe before engaging, and while I may not always be the first to initiate play, I enjoy the company of calm and gentle dogs. I haven’t had any experience with cats yet, so I’m not sure how I’d react. Energy and Activities I have a fairly high energy level, meaning I thrive on outdoor playtime and exercise. Running around, chasing toys, and exploring new places make me happy! However, since I haven’t had much experience with structured walks, I still get nervous about new environments. Sometimes, if I encounter something unfamiliar, I may freeze or lie down until I feel safe again. With consistent training and encouragement, I’ll gain confidence and become a great walking buddy in no time. Training and HabitsI’m still learning the ropes when it comes to structured training, but I’m eager to please and respond well to positive reinforcement. I do have a habit of barking when I want attention or when I meet new people, but I settle down quickly once I realize everything is okay. I also have a bit of a goofy, clueless side, so I need a patient family who will guide me with gentle encouragement rather than strict discipline. While I may not pick up commands as quickly as some dogs, I make up for it with my affectionate and charming personality. My Ideal HomeI’d love to be in a home where my playful and gentle nature is appreciated. I’d do well with a family who understands that I’m still learning and needs a bit of guidance when it comes to new experiences. A home with another friendly and calm dog would be great for me, but I can also thrive as the only dog if I get enough love and attention. If you’re looking for a silly, affectionate, and lovable pup who will bring endless joy into your life, I just might be the perfect match for you! Special NotesI’m an incredibly sweet and innocent pup who approaches the world with curiosity and warmth. I may be a bit goofy and not the most street-smart, but my heart is pure, and I’m eager to love and be loved. I sometimes lack awareness of boundaries, so I may need gentle guidance in learning proper manners. With patience, kindness, and lots of cuddles, I’ll become a devoted and loving companion. My playful nature and love for toys make me a fun addition to any home, and I promise to bring plenty of laughter and happiness into your life! ##2293934##
