Meet Hagi – Your Future Best Friend!
Follow his journey on Instagram: @mariasfosterfriends
Update 7/21/2025
He’s come so far and is so close to being ready for his forever home! Here’s what’s new:
Getting comfortable with new people, especially women (approaches them on his own terms!)
Plays well with dogs outside his foster pack and thrives around other pups
Wears his collar confidently — leash training is up next!
Loves structure + routine, especially with other dogs to learn from
Needs a home with another friendly dog and a patient female adopter
Still cautious with men, but has made major progress with foster dad
Total goofball with toys — obsessed with fetch, tug-of-war, and running zoomies
Hagi’s goofy, gentle spirit continues to shine. With the right home, he’ll keep growing into the playful, confident pup we know he’s meant to be.
06/2025
Hagi is a 6-7 month-old Jindo mix who traveled all the way from South Korea and is slowly blooming into the quirky, cuddly pup he’s meant to be.
He’s crate trained, potty trained, and a total pro with other dogs—big or small! In fact, he needs a doggy sibling to help show him the ropes and build up his trust in humans. He’s still a little shy around people (especially men) but is making sweet progress every day.
Hagi’s not quite ready for walks just yet—leashes are still a little scary—but once he fully trusts his people, we’ll be working on that. For now, he’s happy to hang out at home, toss around a chew toy, or get in a solid nap while you work.
He’s not the snuggly-in-your-arms type (yet!), but he’ll plop down next to you, sneak in some kisses, and lean in for scratchies when he’s feeling brave. And when he does feel brave? He’ll invite you to a game of fetch or tug like it’s the best day ever.
Quick facts about Hagi:
Potty trained and crate trained
Loves dogs—big, small, and everything in between
Knows basic commands like “sit,” “inside,” and “outside”
Must go to a home with another friendly dog
Favorite toys: balls, squeaky toys, and... socks!
Loves stretching out by the window and soaking up the sunshine
If you’ve got a pup looking for a gentle playmate and the patience to help Hagi grow at his own pace, he just might be your perfect match.
Backstory: These two adorable puppies were rescued from the streets of Korea, where they bravely survived by scavenging for scraps and even eating newspapers. Tragically, their mother was euthanized at the shelter they were taken to, but these resilient siblings have shown incredible strength and love despite their tough start.
ALL adoptions require a completed application and final contract. The application can be found at WaldosRescue.org and once you are approved to adopt you will be put in touch with the foster to see if it’s a good match. We are a RESCUE not a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We are unable to contact every applicant for every dog. We will select the best applicant for each dog, based on the dogs needs.
Waldos Rescue Pen is a 501c3 whose primary focus is rescuing dogs from the euthanasia list from high kill shelters throughout the United States
