Story
Sonny and Cher were found running the streets in South LA, weaving in and out of traffic and circling the blocks scavenging and desperate for food.  He had on a collar so our director watched them for a good 30-40 minutes, hoping they would run home... They suddenly ended up on the steps to the 77th Police Station where they found some old pizza in a planter.  They then proceeded to patrol access and people were too afraid to approach the entrance to the Police station with them guarding the steps, and no one came out or stopped to help, so with only 2 cans of cat food and 1/2 a sandwich from lunch our director decided to see if they would be friends or foes.  Immediately Cher ran up and said hello -- it took about 20 minutes but she was able to get her to jump in the car... Sonny was a whole other story ... it took about 2 hours to catch him, but eventually, the car-trap worked and the duo, as if finally sensing they were safe, curled up into each other for a long rest.  Neither dog was chipped, Cher was in heat, and Sonny was her devoted bodyguard ... we don't know if/when/how they came together -- but once they were both fixed the bond was broken.  He is SUCH a little love -- he does have a bit of separation anxiety now -- but that's likely because he finally feels safe.  He is gentle and sweet and seems to have been potty trained but had clearly never been on a leash and it didn't seem like he was touched very much -- now he LOVES it! And he's getting used to the leash and is a champ in a crate - such a fast learner and a very good boy. We have been looking for their people but no one has come forward and it's time they found homes and someone of their own who can really love and care for them.   Whoever you are -- you're about to have a very BEST FREIND(s) for life!    Please apply HERE: https://forms.gle/67CmuBhiQMf1hYov9March 10, 2026, 6:42 pm

Story
Meet Penny, a 6-year-old Basenji mix with a heart full of love and a spirited personality. Originally from Mexico, Penny made her way to California in December 2020 and was quickly adopted. However, she was returned when her previous family found out they were expecting a baby, and Penny wasn’t comfortable around the little one. Penny is a sweet and loving dog who thrives in the right environment. She’s fully house trained, never has accidents inside, and is a joy to have around. Penny enjoys long walks and playing with her toys, but she also loves relaxing and taking naps next to her favorite people. While Penny is not good with other dogs, cats, or kids, she is an ideal companion in a home where she can be the sole focus of attention. She’s working on her reactivity to other dogs on walks, so a patient family willing to help her through her anxiety would be the perfect fit. If you’re looking for a loyal and affectionate dog who will shower you with love and appreciate a calm, dog-free home, Penny is ready to become a cherished member of your family.

📌 Important Adoption Information All of our dogs are currently living in private shelters or foster homes in South Korea. Once an adoption is approved, dogs will travel to the United States through legal and approved international transport procedures. Video calls are available prior to adoption, and adopters can communicate with our rescue team in real time through our official organization and app-based messaging channels throughout the process. • Rescue Story : Meet Charlie 👋 In Nov 2019, Charlie was rescued in S. Korea along with his mom and five siblings. While all of his siblings have since been adopted, Charlie spent nearly 6 years in a shelter. Finally, he had a chance to move into a foster home late last year! He’s now learning how to live with humans and patiently waiting for his forever family🙏 • Personality: Gentle, Friendly, Laid-back Charlie is a sweet, gentle, calm boy! He may need a little extra time to warm up to adult men, but he truly loves people. He’s secretly very affectionate and enjoys cuddles and physical touch — even from new people. / Energy level: medium–low. He relaxes well on his own at home with no separation anxiety. Zero aggression! • Affinity with -Cats: Not tested -Dogs: Great around other dogs (when freely roaming) -Adults/Kids: Good with all people. Just needs a little extra time to warm up to men. • Housetrained: Fully potty-trained for outdoor bathroom • Walking Manner: He walks happily and responds well to handling.

Story
WEACT received a tip in March of 2021 that there were dogs dying at #HwaseongPaltanDogFarm. Upon seeing the stiff bodies of the dogs in the photos, we immediately headed to Hwaseong. The site was even more terrifying in person. There were 12 neglected dogs either trapped in small cages or tied up on short leashes with only food waste in a bowl. Without proper shelter, they had to endure extreme weather conditions and fear for their lives. Thanks to the help from our volunteers and RE:BIRTH, we were able to rescue all 12 dogs as well as three stray dogs nearby. #weact_rinda was finally able to escape from the cold, dark place and finally get to know the beautiful world waiting for her.

Story
Yewon will do well with a family who can respect her pace and spend time with her patiently. She is still learning and adjusting to new environments, so it would be best for her to experience new things slowly and in a way that feels safe and comfortable. If there is another dog in the home, Yewon is likely to get along well, as she enjoys being around gentle and friendly dogs. She can also do well as the only dog, as long as she receives calm companionship and plenty of warm affection. We hope Yewon meets a family who will move at her pace with kindness; someone who will share quiet moments, steady support, and a loving life together with this gentle, soft-hearted girl.

Story
In the scorching heat of August 2025, WEACT received an urgent call for help.Two dogs were tied outside with metal chains, suffering in the brutal temperatures. One dog was in critical condition—unable to bear his own weight due to his stomach being swollen with fluid and maggots infesting his body—while his companion, Puchi, could only watch helplessly as his friend suffered. WEACT arrived in time to rescue them both, but despite our efforts, Puchi’s friend didn't make it. In his final moments, it felt as though he was entrusting his beloved companion to our care. Today, Puchi’s eyes shine with trust and love. He deserves a family who will treasure him for simply being who he is—and we believe that family is out there, waiting to find him.
