For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet a timid lady Bombom🩷(bom 봄 means spring in Korean)
Even though she is still wary of people, she is getting better little by little.
Bombom is learning to get adapted to spending time with her foster and foster family inside the house. She has not tried to walk outside yet.
*Separation anxiety: A home camera was installed in the house to see Bombom when the foster family went outside, and Bombom she was waiting and missing her foster family.
*Potty-training: Bombom mostly stays indoors and can perfectly go in the center of the potty pad!💯
* Energy Level (1~10): Level 2
* Socialization
-People: Curious about people but still scared. When her fam approach her, she tends to step backward. Still gets nervous and flinches when someone tries to touch her but doesn’t move away from her spot. She’ll take treats if her family is holding them. Once in a while, she approaches her foster and the family first!
She can get nervous and tremble if she makes eye contact with human strangers. She moves away when someone suddenly comes at her.
-Dogs: She gets along with the foster's dog.
*She's still scared of Bombom’s surroundings and everything in the world. To protect herself, she “growls” but doesn’t show other aggressive behavior. When Bombom learns to build up trusting relationships with people and there are more enjoyable things than scary things in the world, it will be a great help for her to adapt to a new environment!
*Bark: Doesn’t bark at all.
*Is possible to bathe her but Bombom is still scared and uncomfortable with bathing and tries to move away.
