Morning's scheduled to go back to Korea Sept 26! Please save her!

Hi everyone,

We're Welcome Dog Korea, connecting Korean rescue dogs to new homes in Canada and the U.S. since 2018.

We have one beautiful 2-yr-old Jindo/Labrador Retriever mix Morning, who's been in Toronto, Canada looking for a forever home. However, despite our effort, she hasn't been able to find one and been just scheduled to go back to Korea on Sept 26 where she was on an euthanasia list!

We are looking for an adopter across Canada or a foster in Toronto and surrounding areas.

She takes time to open up and her first adopter kept her only for 7 weeks! We do not want to see this beautiful baby bounce around like this anymore. This Reddit posting is our last resort. Who can be the kind soul to open their home to her?

About Morning

✨ QUICK FACTS ✨

Name: Morning

Age: 2 Years and 3 months Old

Gender: Female (Spayed)

Breed: Labrador, Jindo Mix

Color: White

Weight: 13kg / 28.6 lbs

Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed

 

🐾 MY RESCUE STORY 🐾

Hi there! My name is Morning, and just like the sunrise, I represent a brand-new beginning. I was rescued from the euthanasia list at a city pound, given a second chance when things looked so dark. Back in March, I thought I had found my forever family, but sadly, they didn’t fully understand my sensitive, skittish nature. Luckily, I didn’t lose hope because a kind and patient foster family opened their home and hearts to me. With their love and care, I’ve truly begun to blossom. These days, I’m so much brighter, happier, and ready to keep shining even more in my journey to find a forever family who will cherish me for who I am.

 

🩺 MY HEALTH 🩺

All vaccinations up-to-date

Spayed & healthy with no known health issues

 

💖 MY PERSONALITY 💖
I’m a sweet, gentle, and affectionate girl with a soft heart. Once I feel safe, I love being close to my person and have recently started asking for pets with adorable little nose nudges.

My personality is really starting to shine. I can be playful, a little goofy, and quite intelligent. I love being near my people and feel most comfortable when I can keep them in sight, especially in new environments.

 

🐶 MY SOCIAL SKILLS 🐶
· With People: I can be shy when meeting new people, but I’ve made amazing progress. Instead of running away, I now show curiosity and will approach to observe. I’ve even come close to taking treats from new people! With patience and a calm approach, I continue to build trust and confidence.

· With Dogs: I get along well with other dogs and have recently started approaching calm, gentle dogs on my own. I enjoy their company and sometimes follow them, but I’m also gaining confidence to explore independently.

· With Cats: I don’t have much experience yet, but with my gentle nature, I’m likely to do well with slow and proper introductions.

 

⚡️ ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY ⚡️
I have a moderate energy level. I enjoy my walks and have become much more relaxed—I now look around, take things in, and even “smile” while exploring. I have a good off switch once inside.

I LOVE my ball! I don’t always need to fetch and I’m happiest just carrying it around, playing on my own, and being silly. I also love running around in the dog park.

 

🧠 TRAINING & HABITS 🧠
I’m a very well-mannered girl at home. I don’t get into food, counters, or garbage—even when left alone. I can be trusted in the house and do very well when home alone.

The only thing I might do is shred paper or cardboard if it’s within reach.

I may alert bark when I hear noises in the hallway, but I respond well to gentle redirection and am already improving.

I’m also gaining confidence in new environments—recently, I even started taking treats in the elevator, which is a big step for me!

Car rides can be a bit challenging for me. I’ve experienced motion sickness before, so it’s best if I travel on an empty stomach. I may drool during rides, but it's been quite a while since I last drooled! For longer trips, a vet-recommended motion aid (like Gravol) may help. With continued positive experiences, I’m expected to get more comfortable over time.

I’ve only been off-leash in fully fenced areas. I have very low prey drive and tend to stay close to my person. With proper recall training, I have great potential for safe off-leash time.

 

🏡 MY IDEAL HOME 🏡

I’m looking for a patient and understanding family who will let me adjust at my own pace.

I can do well as the only pet, but I would truly thrive in a home with a friendly, calm, and confident dog who can help guide me and build my confidence.

A quieter home or one that respects my sensitive nature would be perfect for me.

 

💌 SPECIAL NOTES 💌

My previous adoption didn’t work out because I was rushed before I was ready—I had only been there for 7 weeks. I’m a dog who needs time, but I promise I’m worth it.

I’ve already made incredible progress in foster care. I’m braver, more curious, and more affectionate every day.

With love, patience, and understanding, I will blossom into an incredibly loyal, gentle, and loving companion.

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/14/26: Frasier was found as one of six loose dogs at Coolwood Head Start.

💖 Frasier is just an 11-week-old baby who has already had a difficult start to life. At only 11 pounds, he arrived at the shelter with an older fracture to his front right leg that has been healing crooked. Despite his injury, the shelter notes that he can be adopted as he is, with further veterinary care pursued later if needed. This little puppy deserves the chance to grow up in a safe, loving home instead of losing his life at the shelter.

🩺 Medical Notes:

8/14/26: Front right leg appeared to have an older injury/break. Frasier was limping.

8/15/26: Frasier's front right leg appears to have an older injury/fracture with a large, hard callus just above the carpus. He is limping. The fracture is healing but is crooked/deviated laterally. The shelter notes that his limp appears to be related more to the crooked healing than pain. He can be adopted in his current condition, with further veterinary care pursued later if desired.

💔 ONE-DAY DEADLINE 💔 A BABY PUPPY IS SCHEDULED TO DIE AFTER JUST ONE DAY — ALL BECAUSE OF A TREATABLE PAW PAD INJURY. HE DESERVES HELP, NOT EUTHANASIA.

🐾 Nugget ID: #A596668

Male • 10 months old • 47.6 lbs

Pit Bull Terrier Mix • Brown & White

Located in Building 06 • Kennel 16

Nugget was surrendered with #A596669, #A596670, and #A596671 after their owner became unhoused and was no longer able to care for them.

Euthanasia Request

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/18/2026: Was very timid in kennel. She was pressed against the wall with low head. I placed the leash but she remained pancaked. I was able to enter kennel and pet her so I just carried her outside... no muzzle was needed. When I placed her in the runs she greeted her neighbors and started to wag her tail. When coming to retrieve her she was scurrying around the runs and kept avoiding leash. She hid under a bush/tree in the run and pancaked and began to growl. I was unable to get her from underneath the bush so I had to call for another ACT to bring the red board. With the red board we pushed her from underneath and she began to scurry around the run again. I managed to leash her and she walked back inside with tucked tail, low head, and her body close to the ground.

8/19/2026: She was in the kennel with a tensed body, facing the back wall laying down. I leashed her and she thrashed. I babytalked her and gave her treats that she ignored. I eventually got her to walk out and she thrashed the whole way to a new clean kennel before scurrying into the back.

🚑 Medical Notes:

8/17/2026: Weighed 52.6 lbs. Heartworm test: Low Positive. Hair loss on ear. Vaccinated (DA2PP-V, Bordetella, Rabies), dewormed, and given flea prevention.

8/18/2026: Weighed 52.6 lbs. Green spay tattoo noted. Dry, healing wound on right ear. No treatment needed per DVM. Dermatitis noted.

🐾 Meet Nate

ID #A2088449

2-year-old male Labrador Retriever mix

Black / White | 46 lbs

Intake Date: 7/29/2026

Nate came into BARC as a stray after a caller reported a group of several dogs outside in the heat and was concerned for their health. Elmo (ID #A2088448) is still at BARC, but not on the euthanasia list yet. Sadly, Dallas (ID #2088462) was already euthanized. 2 of the other dogs are no longer listed and we don't know their status (ID #A2088446 and ID #A2088459).

🩺 MEDICAL

Nate is heartworm LOW POSITIVE and is now being treated for an upper respiratory infection/CIRD.

On 8/18, he was sneezing yellow discharge and was moved to the treatment room. He was started on Doxycycline 200 mg once daily for 10 days.

He has received his DA2PP vaccines, Bordetella, rabies vaccine, deworming, pyrantel and Advantage Multi.

🐾Behavior notes:

During many walks, Nate has shown a neutral or relaxed body, soft expression and loose-leash walking. He has also been observed quietly resting on his bed and ignoring barking dogs once given some space.

However, Nate can become tense around other dogs. On 8/17, he was whining and standing against his kennel door as other dogs were walked past, but once it was his turn, he became quiet and walked loosely beside his handler.

Houston-area foster desperately needed for poor Brick

Posted on Facebook by Sunnyside Street Dogs

https://www.facebook.com/share/1VCCJSAoCr/

🚨 BRICK NEEDS A FOSTER. HE IS NOT DOING WELL AT THE RESCUE. 🚨

Brick had a foster. He had a home, a person and a routine. Then that foster commitment ended, and Brick was brought back to the rescue.

He has absolutely no idea what he did wrong.

He is miserable. He is depressed. And he is not doing well here.

What makes this especially heartbreaking is everything Brick has already survived. He came to us in horrible physical condition, with BBs lodged in his body after someone had used him for target practice.

Humans have failed this dog over and over again.

And now, he has been failed again.

Brick doesn’t understand foster commitments or why the person he trusted disappeared. He only knows that he had a home — and now he doesn’t.

We need a committed Houston-area foster for Brick. Someone who understands that fostering means being there for him until we can get him to the next chapter of his life.

Please help us get Brick back into a home.

If you can’t foster, PLEASE SHARE. He needs someone to see him.

Posting for a friend. Billy is a playful 1 1/2-year-old Siberian Husky Mix at Arc of the Inland Empire in Ontario, CA. She is stressed at the shelter but would thrive in a loving foster home where she could spend more time outside. She has rescue interest but needs a foster ASAP. Euth deadline 8/20

BILLY #A010509

  • Siberian Husky Mix
  • Spayed female
  • Age: 1 year 4 months
  • Weight: 56 lbs
  • Intake: 6/27/26

Please see attached shelter notes and medical notes.

Volunteer Notes:

🚨 UPDATE: EXTENDED UNTIL 8/20 @ 12 PM! PLEASE KEEP SHARING!! 🙏❤️

🚨 BILLY HAS HOURS LEFT. EUTHANASIA TODAY, AUGUST 19 AT 5:00 PM Animal Resource Center of the Inland Empire 🚨

I NEED YOU TO STOP SCROLLING AND LOOK AT BILLY. Really look at her. I met this beautiful girl today, and I cannot shake the feeling that I was looking at a life that is about to be taken away far too soon. Billy is only 1 year and 4 months old. She is majestic, sweet, affectionate, playful, and so deserving of someone who will see her. She wanted attention and connection, and underneath the shelter stress was an incredibly sweet dog. I walked away thinking, how can a dog this young have only hours left?

Billy has been sitting in a shelter for 49 DAYS. Forty nine days is a lifetime for a young, energetic dog watching the world through kennel bars. She loves to run. She loves to play. She loves people, she is dog friendly, and she loves puppies. Yes, confinement has been hard on her. But shelter stress is not a character flaw. It should never be a death sentence. Billy doesn't need to be perfect. She needs someone willing to let her decompress, breathe, play, and finally feel safe.

And now we are facing the most heartbreaking reality: Billy is scheduled to be euthanized TODAY at 5:00 PM. Not tomorrow. TODAY. There are only hours between this beautiful girl and the end of her life. I cannot believe we are this close to losing her. Billy has barely had a chance to live, yet she is standing at the edge of a grave simply because nobody has stepped forward. PLEASE DON'T LET HER STORY END HERE. Share her. Tag rescues, fosters, adopters, Husky lovers, and anyone who might be able to help. If you can adopt, foster, rescue, or network her, PLEASE ACT NOW

🩵🐶 Bashful #A2087893

7/25/2026 Stray | Staffordshire Mix | Male | 1Y 1M | 46.6 lbs | HW Negative

💜 Volunteer Notes:

I’m SO excited to share with everyone this adorable and sweet little boy, Bashful. I love his name, but this handsome guy isn’t bashful at all. Although when I first approached his kennel he stared at me like “are you here for me? Really?” The second he realized I was, he got so excited and started to wag his tail. When I went in his kennel he was very well behaved and just sat patiently for me. He walked beautifully on leash and didn’t react toward any of the dogs in the kennels. He also did amazing meeting another pup - all tails wags, a few kisses, overall just a happy, playful boy. When I knelt down next to him, he gently jumped into my arms and gave me a ton of kisses. I was able to pick him up easily and he continued to give me kisses. Bashful is the sweetest boy and it’s clear all he wants it to be someone’s baby. I hope someone steps up for him

Volunteer Notes 2:

I would like to give a gold star to the staff member that named Bashful. It’s so perfectly endearing and a bit ironic as he isn’t bashful at all! I walked up to his kennel and he was curled up, not expecting me to say hi. He didn’t get up from his bed until I knelt down to his level, then he got up slowly and did a big stretch before wagging his tail vigorously. He said hi to other dogs while we walked out and walked very well. He’s an absolutely wonderful listener - better than any man in your life, guaranteed. He learned sit soooo quickly as he was a bit jumpy when first out of his kennel. He loves to fetch and actually brought it back quite a few times! Please please please watch his videos. Something about him is very endearing and I know he’ll be someone’s best friend.

🐾 Behavior Notes:

Bashful has repeatedly greeted people with a wiggly body, soft eyes and a fast-wagging tail. He is described as friendly and welcoming to people and has even tried to play with other dogs through the fence.

He generally walks nicely on a loose leash and has been gentle with his handlers. One especially sweet note describes Bashful leaning his entire body against a staff member, completely relaxed and wagging his tail, while they cleaned around his eyes.

He has occasionally shown periods of fear, pancaking to the ground, pacing, whining and hesitating to return to his kennel. But once he feels comfortable, the happy, wiggly young dog comes right back out.

🙏 This sweet young boy has been waiting at BARC since July 25. Foster, adopt, rescue or share Bashful. One person saying YES could change everything for him.

We were not able to meet Frasier #A2091306. If you're interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/14/26: Frasier was found as one of six loose dogs at Coolwood Head Start.

💖 Frasier is just an 11-week-old baby who has already had a difficult start to life. At only 11 pounds, he arrived at the shelter with an older fracture to his front right leg that has been healing crooked. Despite his injury, the shelter notes that he can be adopted as he is, with further veterinary care pursued later if needed. This little puppy deserves the chance to grow up in a safe, loving home instead of losing his life at the shelter.

🩺 Medical Notes:

8/14/26: Front right leg appeared to have an older injury/break. Frasier was limping.

8/15/26: Frasier's front right leg appears to have an older injury/fracture with a large, hard callus just above the carpus. He is limping. The fracture is healing but is crooked/deviated laterally. The shelter notes that his limp appears to be related more to the crooked healing than pain. He can be adopted in his current condition, with further veterinary care pursued later if desired.
