Hi, I'm
Bay
Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)
My story
Note: Currently Bay is in Korea but he will arrive in Toronto on Nov 9, once she is adopted.For more info about the dog or the adoption application, please click here.Adopt Bay, the Affectionate Baby Who Greets You With Happy Tippy TapsEvery morning, when her people walk in, Bay does happy tippy taps on the spot. Then she stays close for the rest of the day, asking for pets and soaking up every bit of attention. She’d happily be hugged and stroked from morning until night.Quick FactsBreed: Terrier mixed breed · Sex: Female · Born: December 19, 2021 · Weight: 7 kg · Location: Korea · Traits: Affectionate, gentle, loves walks · Health: Spayed, vaccinated, fully treated for heartwormBackgroundBay was rescued from the Chuncheon city pound in October 2024, together with her puppies. One of them, Barney, has since found a loving home in Canada. After her rescue, Bay was treated for heartworm. In February 2025, she moved to a boarding house in Yongin, and in September 2026 she moved to our partner shelter.PersonalityBay is a sweet, people loving girl. Her favourite things are people, being petted, and treats. She has a few funny habits too. If someone leaves a chair pulled out, she hops up on it and onto the table. She loves anything soft and squishy, and she likes to dig at the sofa cushions before she settles in.Her energy level is moderate. She’s a little shy with new people and places at first, and it usually takes her a couple of weeks to feel at home. Once she does, she follows her people around the room, asking to be petted.CompatibilityBay may give a few alert barks when guests arrive, but she stops quickly. She’s just as friendly with men as she is with women. She has met volunteers of elementary school age, but she wasn’t very interested in them and went to the adults first. As with any dog, time with children should be supervised, and parents should take full responsibility for teaching both their children and their dog how to interact safely.Bay loves hugs and pets and could enjoy them all day. She doesn’t like being handled roughly by people she doesn’t know yet. Once she trusts you, she’s happy to be touched anywhere.Bay lives with dogs of all sizes, from small to large. She gets along best with a dog who matches her energy, a friend she can play with for a while and then lie down and rest beside. She isn’t possessive of her toys, and even though she has a big appetite, she has never fought over food.Bay hasn’t lived with cats before, so we can’t say for certain how she’d do. Knowing her gentle nature, though, we think it’s possible with a slow, gradual introduction, plenty of patience, and enough space for each of them to have their own retreat while they get used to one another.Behaviours & TrainingBay goes potty outdoors. She loves her walks and walks nicely on a leash, without reacting to other dogs, cars, or motorbikes. She rides well in the car. She doesn’t love the vet, but she behaves well there, and she’s easy to handle for baths, nail trims, and brushing. She doesn’t chew on things she shouldn’t. She knows her name and is ready to learn more.She barks a little when strangers come in or when she hears noises outside, but she settles down quickly. She hasn’t shown any signs of separation anxiety.Health & DietBay is spayed, dewormed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. She takes monthly parasite preventatives.In December 2024, after her rescue, she tested positive for canine coronavirus and heartworm. She completed treatment for both and is now fully cured. We also noticed that her tail had been docked. It doesn’t bother her at all. Her teeth were in good shape at her dental cleaning after rescue. She has passed the veterinary screening and is healthy and ready for a forever home.Bay eats kibble twice a day and has a hearty appetite. We recommend feeding her hypoallergenic kibble to help with her tear stains.Ideal HomeBay would be happiest with someone who lives a quiet, relaxed life or is retired. She isn’t demanding, and she just likes to stay close to her people. She’d make a wonderful companion for someone who’s looking for a loving friend. Her favourite thing is spending time with people, so a home with a big family could be a good fit too. A gentle, small dog companion would be great for her as well.All she needs is a little patience while she settles in. Once she feels comfortable, she becomes very affectionate and loves to snuggle.
