My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Aberdeen Scottish Terrier Rescue is a registered 501(c)3
Web Site: www.aberdeenstr.com

***MUST SUBMIT APPLICATION before we will respond to email or phone inquiries. Thank You for your cooperation***
Please read listings fully to the end before applying for one of our beloved rescues.

WE ARE NOT A SHELTER; WE ARE AN ALL-VOLUNTEER RESCUE WITH FULL-TIME JOBS.
Please do not contact us to look at a dog. We will contact you once we have reviewed your completed application if we think your home might be a good fit. A reference check, phone interview, and home visit will be completed before meeting an adoptable dog.

We work quickly. Please do not submit an application until you are ready to bring a new furry family member home. Expect your references to be contacted shortly after submitting your application. We adopt out to homes around the US and Canada, but require that you are present for the meet and greet in Newcastle, WA.

Our adoption fee is non-negotiable. The adoption fee is due on the day of adoption in the form of a check, Zelle or cash. We no longer accept PayPal due to their fees & charges but if the potential adopter is willing to pay them we will accept PayPal.

Another sweet mum who was left behind in Korea, but of course all of her babies were adopted. Dar-Lae, the loveliest fun soul now who had 6 puppies was taken to a kill shelter in Korea. We mean shack outside with a big heavy chain around her neck. She was found on the streets of Korea with her beautiful babies. That in itself is a miracle. While in the shelter she was such a good mum & looked after babies. But the sad reality was people wanted her babies & not her. Thankfully the wonderful Korean rescue went in & rescued Dar-Lae but unfortunately no one in Korea wanted to open up their hearts & home to Dar-Lae so here she is now ready to find that special home who is waiting for this little lady.

Dar-Lae was rescued by the amazing Korean rescue & just as always we are beyond grateful to the Korean rescue & we are so extremely grateful for what they do day in & day out for these babies & there is also such a great financial responsibility when rescuing these babies so we cannot begin to thank them enough.

Dar-Lae was bought back to the USA where she is now a US citizen & is so happy to be here & can’t wait to find her new loving devoted forever home.

It’s now Dar-Lae’s turn to be the one who gets the chance to find that amazing forever home. This little lady when you first meet her is a little shy & uncertain but once she knows & trusts you, you are good. She is the sweetest soul.
She has been to hell & back & for everything that she has been through she is doing amazing. Her foster mum said she lets you pick her up, snuggle with her & hug her. She is the sweetest happiest girl you will have the pleasure of meeting. Her foster mum said she loves a good outfit & adores comfy beds & big comfy blankets & will want to sleep in bed with you along with the other dogs.
She also said she is really good with being bathed & dried by the hairdryer & such a social butterfly.
We don’t think she ever received this much love before but she radiates her appreciation with us.
We have been working with her on her leash & harness & does really well considering but, she still would need continued work as this is all new to her. Dar-Lae loves to run & play & adores her dog friends so much. In the rescue her best friend is Dong-Baek. Her foster mum also said she enjoys sitting on the chair & looking out the window.
Dar-Lae loves to eat, since she came into the rescue she has put on 2 lbs.
Having toys & a warm bed is all new to Dar-Lae & we have been excited to change her world with the introduction of toys & lots of love & affection & a loving environment.
Dar-Lae’s new forever home must have a fully fenced backyard. She loves to chase her dog friends & foster siblings & play, play play once she is comfortable in her new home. It takes time for her to become comfortable but once she does she is the biggest sweetheart. She will paw at you & give you kisses once she knows you. She compassion & understanding of what she has been through.
Dar-Lae rides well in the car & we are looking for a crate free home for this little lady only. Dar-Lae does not like crates. We are also looking for a forever home for Dar-Lae where someone is home during the day or she can go with her people wherever possibly she can go with them.
Dar-Lae is looking for a forever home who will cherish her & love her as she should be loved & be patient with her.
Poor Dar-Lae was adopted & returned 24 hours later due to no fault of her own.

Dar-Lae has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & she is currently with other dogs & does well. Dar-Lae needs to go to a forever home with another dog or dogs in the home, she enjoys the company of other dogs & we currently have her with other dogs. She needs a dog roughly around her age who will play with her as she loves to play. Please do not apply saying your neighbors have a dog or family members or you will take him to places where there are other dogs. That will not work, another dog or dogs is mandatory along with a fully fenced backyard.

Dar-Lae is roughly 16 lbs & put on 2 lbs since being in the rescue. She is 4 years old & perhaps a jindo mix, what she is mixed with we are not sure, female, she is spayed, she had eye surgery to remove a cherry eye, treated for an eye ulcer after her cherry eye removal, treated with antibiotics & pain meds. She was treated for dermatitis, she got a dental scale & polish, dental x-rays & a minor. She is microchipped, up to date on her shots, including DHLPP, Bordatella, CIV, rabies & dewormed.

We have spent far more on Dar-Lae with bringing her to the US with her travel costs, her cargo fees, her medical care, dental scale & polish, cherry eye removal, medications for her eye, fluoresceine dye tests, pain meds, boarding fees etc & bringing her to WA than her adoption fee comes close to covering.

Dar-Lae has not been around cats since being in the rescue, but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together & we have not had her around small children so we do not recommend small children nor cats & it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & cats.

We were not there when Dar-Lae was conceived so we do not know who her parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think her breed is.

As with all of our rescues & Dar-Lae’s friends she will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Dar-Lae’s potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond.

We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying.

Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Dar-Lae & going through our process and have read her listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on & remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit via WebEx due to covid & followed by a meet & greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Dar-Lae who understands her needs & that meet all the requirements for this special sweet little lady.
Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. We also cannot respond to every application unfortunately.

Dar-Lae has an adoption fee of $995 & is ready for her truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what she has been through.
