My personality

My story

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

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️
💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟

Meet Giri🧡(It means oats in Korean)
💙 Giri's Updates: @giri_adogs


1⃣ Health Condition
* Neutered
* Microchipped and heartworm negative.


2⃣ Rescue Story
* Giri and his sibling #AdogsHyeonmi were staying at the Gimje Shelter together, relying on each other. Because he was still young and infectious diseases was spreading in the shelter, Adogs rescued him and Hyeonmi before they grew into adult dogs.


3⃣ Basic Information
* With People: Is wary and may nip if strangers try to touch him suddenly. Recently, he has started calming down very quickly after initially being surprised. Is still very cautious of being touched suddenly but has stopped nipping. Likes his foster parent and has recently become less surprised when being touched near his face and body. Petting was possible when having him lick liquid tube treats out of a hand.
* With Dogs: Gets along well with his sibling, Hyeonmi, and did well with other dogs at our center! Is a cute scaredy-cat, so he immediately lies down in surrender when other dogs play aggressively.
* With Cats: Not confirmed as he hasn’t met them yet.
* Separation Anxiety: Not at all! Stays alone very well. Plays with his doggy friends when together.
* Potty Training: Uses potty pads indoors accurately without marking!
* Hygiene: Stays calm if he is held by those whom he opens his heart to and has his nails trimmed.
* Walks: Isn’t used to walks yet and shows a bit of discomfort when leashed and when there is tension on the leash. Sits after taking a few steps, so he needs practice getting comfortable.
* Car Sickness: Rides well without car sickness for short trips!


4️⃣ Special Notes
* Occasionally tries to bite defensively when forced to be held or suddenly touched, so training is required for him to be accustomed.
* Tends to eat his poop and tears up the blanket, so he needs to be monitored.
* Whines from time to time, being afraid of men and mirrors.
* Goes right in when the kennel door is opened.
* Has a careful, and timid personality.

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.
