My story

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

Meet Maru🩵
He was abandoned by a foreign worker who left for their home country. Then he came to Korean City Shelter and rescued by ADOGS. It took about a year for Maru to slowly open his heart and trust people again. Now, with the love of his angelic foster family, he's preparing to meet his forever family!💓
*Separation Anxiety: Improved a lot and nearly non-existent now.
*Housetraining: Prefers outdoor potty, morning and evening walks are important. Uses indoor pee pads if needed.
-Dogs: Loves other dog friends. Politely greets friends during walks and got along very well with the previous foster dog. 🐶
-People: More comfortable approaching people who are sitting than those standing.
*Bark: Doesn't bark at strangers and warms up gradually.
*Absolutely loves being petted and gives lots of kisses! 🤍😄
*Excellent at walking. Used to get a bit excited, but now handles crowded places well. He enjoys his own walks even when others pass by and might playfully surprise people with a big reaction.
*Excellent recall. Responds eagerly when called by his name!
*Cleans his paws and tolerates brushing after walks. Doesn't particularly enjoy baths but endures them. 💦
*Almost doesn't bark. Occasionally howls happily when the family comes home but stops quickly.
*Has a somewhat picky appetite. 🤣
*Impressive waiting skills—can wait for a family at the store for 20 minutes!
*Enjoys having his own space and likes eating treats on a cushion or bed.
*Quite scared of thunder and lightning.
*Moderate shedding.
*Doesn't experience motion sickness! 🚗
*Knows commands like sit, wait, come here, let's go, and recall!
*Favorites: Jerky treats, walks.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

All our dogs fly from South Korea to the US when their adoptions are finalized so the adopters cannot go through "meet and greet."
But once applicants pass zoom interview, we will connect adopter to foster team for the most up to date news as well as photos and videos. The adopter can post any questions and can make video call as well.
Please hold our dog's hands so that they can forget about the painful past and live happily.
"Adopting an abandoned dog will not change the world but this can change the dog's world"

More about this rescue

ADOGS(Adopt Dogs), a non-profit organization, is an abandoned dog foster/adoption organization launched by an individual volunteer group that has rescued, fostered, adopted dogs since 2018.

We are conducting rescue, foster, adopt from South Korea rural shelter. We also rescue dogs irregularly from illegal dog farms or any other places that need help.
We rescue large and small dogs of all breeds, including dogs with special needs.

Although we can't save all abandoned dogs in the world, we are doing our best to the dogs in front of us so that their lives can be changed like any other pets.

In expanding our search for adoption leads, we’ve broadened our mission: To bring at-risk dogs across the Pacific to loving stateside families.

Due to limited demand for large-breed dogs in Korea, arranging for local adoption has proven almost impossible. Instead, we seek to bring these persecuted dogs to the United States where dogs have a higher chance for adoption and survival.
