Story
Say hi to YoungHoon, a lovable happy boy with a subtle white straight line between the eyes! YoungHoon was found on a street in South Korea at just two months old in 2021 and taken to a high-risk shelter. He was luckily saved right before euthanasia by a rescue team and brought to a private shelter along with his five siblings including Jinok posted here. While some of them have found their homes, YoungHoon is still living with other dogs in the shelter, eagerly waiting for his family to find him! > Personality: Sweet, Goofy, Active You may see Younghoon bark quite a bit toward strangers, but please keep in mind that Younghoon is basically the sweetest cuddle bug once he opens up! It won’t take long to notice his gentle and affectionate personality. He is full of love and affection toward people he knows. He even acts like he is a small lap dog! His goofy charms will make you immediately fall in love with him. In addition, Younghoon has high energy. He is so happy especially when running outside. Therefore, he would be a great fit for a family who enjoys outdoor activities and adventures! Just when he sometimes gets hyper while playing with you, he may need to be reminded to soften his power. > Relationships - With dogs: Gets along well with other dogs. - With adults: Good with adults including men. > Walking manners: In training > Shedding (on a scale of 1 to 10): 7 > Food allergies/Picky eater: No > Potty (indoor/outdoor): Younghoon would probably prefer to potty outdoors. > Bathing/Brushing: Good with brushing/ Not certain for baths, but he would be fine after some experiences, considering his kind nature. > Barking: A little bit toward strangers > Likes/Dislikes: He LOVES to brag by carrying rags or toys around in his mouth! He also enjoys playing with shadows on the ground, which you may find interesting! > Current living situation: Well taken care of in a private shelter in S. Korea > Health Issues: No issues. If you have an open heart and a loving home for Younghoon, please don't hesitate to submit an application now!

Story
Meet Jinok! Jinok was found on a street in South Korea at just two months old and taken to a high-risk shelter along with her five siblings including Younghoon posted here. Right before euthanasia, they were saved by a rescue team, and later on, three of her siblings found their homes, while Jinok is still searching for her forever home. Jinok was lucky to have an opportunity to live in a foster home for about a year and a half from her puppyhood until Dec 2022 when she turned two. Since then, she has been living with numerous dogs in the crowded shelter, where there cannot be undivided love for her. Jinok still remembers how nice and lovely to have her home is. We hope she doesn’t forget that and gets another chance to live in a loving home again but permanently this time. > Personality: Affectionate, Friendly, Gentle Jinok is super friendly and full of sweetness! She thrives on love and affection, making her the perfect fit for anyone seeking a loyal and lovely fur soulmate. > Relationships - With cats: Gentle around cats - With dogs: She does well with other dogs. She was sent to a daycare regularly during the foster, so she learned manners and how to socialize. - With adults: Good with adults including men. > Walking manners: She is mostly gentle on a walk but gets excited about birds and other doggies. > Shedding (on a scale of 1 to 10): 7 > Food allergies/Picky eater: She may be a little allergic to chicken and grain according to her previous foster, but this needs to be confirmed by a vet later. > Potty (indoor/outdoor): Fully housebroken, going potty indoors (pee-pads) & outdoors whenever she was in the foster home. > Bathing/Brushing: Very good > Separation anxiety: She tends to have mild separation anxiety due to her strong attachment to her people, so having another furry companion in a home would be beneficial for her to feel more comfortable and secure. > Barking: No > Likes/Dislikes: One of her favorite things is just to be around her people, which is well-known among the shelter staff and volunteers! Plus, she likes playing with balls! / She is not a fan of being left alone. > Current living situation: Well taken care of in a private shelter in S. Korea > Health Issues: No issues. If you have an open heart and a loving home for Jinok, please don't hesitate to submit an application now!

Story
Meet COH Daisy, the adorable 4-month-old female Basenji and Carolina Dog Mix. I was discovered as a stray in Hawthorne, and now I'm on a quest to find a loving family to call my own. My unique blend of Basenji and Carolina Dog traits makes me an intriguing and playful companion. I'm bursting with puppy energy and ready to embark on a lifetime of adventures with the right family. Will you be the one to welcome me into your heart and home? Come by and meet me and all my other friends at Lovejoy and see if we have a connection. We hold an event every weekend at our facility on SATURDAY and SUNDAY 11-5pm and open to the public. It is first come first serve we do not evaluate applications prior to an event. If there are multiple interested parties in the same dog or puppy at the same time we would pick the best out of the 10 applications. Please visit our social media platforms for the specifics for each weekend as it changes from week to week. Please find our application at lovejoyfoundation.org when you come to an event please bring that filled out in hand with you. You can find our application at Lovejoyfoundation.org.

Story
Pretty Delta is a sweetheart. She's a young happy dog who loves to play and be affectionate. Delta's owners got rid of her because they were tired of having dogs. They dumped their 13 year old Shepherd as well. Thankfully, we were able to rescue them before the owners dumped them in one of the local shelters. Delta is great with other dogs and really just a nice, sweet dog. She will be great with another dog in the household or as a single dog. She's a great size at about 50 lbs. We are looking for an adult home with yard access for Delta. Please contact Ingrid (310) 480 6030 pcdrapps@yahoo.com If you'd like to meet this cutie, please fill out our adoption application: http://www.pcdogrescue.org/online_application.html

He came from a shelter they believed had been hit by a car he had a broken pelvis and injured leg, but we are fairly sure he was beaten. He was terrified of anything like a broom and pees and poops himself.  He's getting better every day. He needs a quiet home, cats are okay, but no male dogs. He can be a sweet boy but wants to trust but we can see it in his eyes as he sizes up every situation. He loves playing with the female dogs in his foster home and can spend hours outside just running and playing.  He weighs about 9 pounds, is microchipped and has been fully vaccinated. Neuter to be announced still recovering from a broken pelvis and injured leg. Please consider adopting a senior dog. They are passed over routinely in shelters and Chihuahua senior dogs who are black are then the number 2 breed most euthanized in shelters. Adopt don't shop! ##1371753##
