My personality

My story

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

Emmett is a love bug! He's very sweet, gentle, timid, cautious, and calm. He sometimes wants to play but can’t play for long because he coughs when excited. He loves following his person around, always, and sitting next to you on the sofa.

He gets so happy when he gets attention. When you call his name, he wags his tail immediately and climbs all over you, rubbing his body on you.

Emmett is a good listener. If you tell him, "No, Emmett," he'll stop whtever he's doing and look at you apologetically.

Emmett is trained on the pee pad and can potty outside but may need reinforcement in a new home. Emmett occasionally marks if other dogs are in the house.

Emmett only barks during meal prep and when his human returns home.

Not alpha. Gets along well with other dogs but prefers the company of people. He's independent and doesn’t care about other dogs.

He would be better in a home without other dogs but can live with other dogs. When held and another dog comes near, he tries to nip.

Emmett can be left home alone for hours, but he cries or howls for a few minutes and then falls asleep.

Emmett doesn’t like being alone for long periods, so we hope his future family will spend plenty of time with him.

Originally found as a stray, we rescued Emmet in October 2024 from a high-kill shelter in Korea.

Health considerations:

Emmett has bronchial stenosis (narrow airway), which can cause him to cough, especially when excited or after eating. He’s sensitive to temperature, dry air, & poor air quality, but since he’s been in the US, he’s been doing very well. He would do well with a humidifier, nebulizer, supplements, and weight control to manage his airway — although we haven’t needed to use these tools since he’s been in the US.

He has lichenification in his ears & feet, a thickening & wrinkling of skin from chronic rubbing, scratching or licking. You should clean Emmett’s ears and feet with disinfectant regularly.

Emmett is currently fostered in Los Angeles, CA. We adopt out of state! You just have to travel to him to pick him up.

More about this rescue

We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating unwanted, neglected pugs in South Korea. We find them forever homes in South Korea, or we fly them to the U.S. to their new families.

We are a group of committed volunteers located in South Korea and the US. With about 3-4 steady volunteers in each country, none of our volunteers are paid for their services and do this entirely on their own time and at their own expense.

There are currently no additional pets at this rescue. Please check back later!
