Meet Dorothy♠️
💙 Name: Dorothy
💙 Gender: Female
💙 Age: Estimated 1 year old (Born in June 2024)
💙 Weight: 12 kg / 26.46 lb
💙 Dorothy's News Account: @mungmung.log

1⃣ Health Condition
* Spayed.
* Microchipped.
* Has corneal edema, requiring consistent eye drops. This condition is not contagious.
* Seems to overgroom recently and more attention has been paid in brushing her and cleaning the home. Especially during the change of seasons, we take care of her moisturizing.

2⃣ Rescue Story
* Dorothy was found roaming alone on the floor of Gimje Shelter by an Adogs volunteer. She was a new born puppy who had only just opened her eyes. Although her mother was found at the same shelter, the extreme heat prevented her from caring for Dorothy, leading to her urgent rescue.

3⃣ Basic Information
* With People: Is shy to strsngers and a little bit fearful but warms up quickly. Stares first at a distance, approaches to explore and acts charming. Follows her foster parent around, sitting or lying beside them. However, rests independently on weekends when her foster parent is at home most of time.
* With Dogs: Approaches first dogs who are smaller than her! Growls and gets defensive toward bigger dogs, being scared of them. Is indifferent to familiar dogs.
* With Cats: Coexisted peacefully with cats without any issues at our center. Stops, stares, and then tries to get closer to cats who she encounters during walks. Follows the instruction of her guardians, when they tug the leash into other direction her, but keeps staring, while wondering.
* Separation Anxiety: Can stay alone without barking or showing anxiety. Even sleeps well on her own.
* Potty Training: Uses potty pads very well indoors without mistakes! Doesn’t mark with her pee and prefers outdoor potty.
* Hygiene: Is comfortable with brushing. Doesn’t like baths, the blow dryer, or nails trimming but tolerates and gets through it well.
* Walks: Her energy levels are high at the beginning of walks and she pulls a bit. However, she calms down after pottying. Tends to pull on the leash when she wants to sniff the grass or sees familiar people or birds to chase them. Is in training for this and doing a great job.
* Car Sickness: Starts to drool after the car starts moving and vomits during long distance trips. Therefore, it's good to take breaks in the middle for a walk. Has no issue with short distances. Enjoys watching outside.
* Does not bite at all! Shows some possessiveness over food though.
* Whines when there's a noise outside or she wants to get out of kennel. Barks briefly out of excitement when her foster parent comes home.
* Really likes people so she acts cute and asks to be petted! Loves food and tends to eat in a hurry so she is being fed with a slow feeder.
* Is scared of loud noises from buses, cars, or motorcycles. However, she is okay with other sounds like vacuum cleaners. Feels uncomfortable if strangers keep paying attention to her at home.
* Learned commands such as "Sit down", "Lie down", "Wait", and "House"!

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.

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.
