My personality

My story

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

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️
💟Available to fly to Vancouver & Toronto💟

Meet Nacho🌮

1️⃣ Health Condition
* Spayed.
* Microchipped, and fully recovered from heartworm.

2️⃣ Rescue Story
* Nacho was rescued from a dog meat farm in Gongdeok, Gimje, just moments before slaughter. She had witnessed many of her friends being taken away in front of her eyes, which left her deeply afraid of people. When she first met the Adogs staff and volunteers, she was frozen in fear. But over time, Nacho has started to trust and follow humans.

3️⃣ Basic Information
* With People: Is still a bit afraid of people. Has improved a lot and now approaches familiar people, gently licking their hands and even nudging them with her nose if they have treats. However, she tends to avoid being touched and doesn’t particularly enjoy physical contact. Accepts being touched when cornered, but she shows a slight sign of tension.
* With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs. While she doesn’t actively show interest first, she enjoys running and playing with friends outdoors. During walks, she may show curiosity when another dog approaches, but if the other dog shows aggression, she lowers her body and avoids confrontation.
* With Cats: When encountering cats during walks, she simply observes quietly without reacting.
* Separation Anxiety: Is fine being alone and rests comfortably.
* Potty Training: Never goes to the bathroom indoors and always holds it in, so she must be given outdoor potty breaks.
* Hygiene: Stays calm during baths and brushing. However, she's terrified of the sound of the dryer and runs away even when she hears it.
* Walks: Is on the timid side and has limited experience with walks. Will need proper training after building enough trust with her guardian. Always use a double leash when taking her out for walks.
* Car Sickness: Rides well in the car, even on long trips over an hour without signs of motion sickness.
* Likes playing with balls.
* Is scared of loud noises like vacuum cleaners and washing machines. During walks, she has shown fear of bicycles and elderly women, even trembling in fear.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

All our dogs fly from South Korea to the US and Canada 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.
