Story
Luna is a very young sweet energetic girl . She enjoys running at the park and grazing . She is crate trained and potty trained . She is very sweet and loves cuddles and face rubs . She also loves walks is eager to smell some grass . I found her under a car at the beginning of November and then had help pulling her from the shelter . Ive now fostered her for a while and have gotten to know this sweet girl very well. She had a terrible skin condition that I am happy to say is gone and her fur is completely grown back . She is very independent as a full time college student with 5 other pets I dont give her as much attention as she deserves and still she is happy as ever to see me. It took me several days to gain her trust so she is a dog that takes time to adjust . I would love to help find/pay a trainer for her future adopter .

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. Buddy was found alone on Jeju Island, South Korea, when he was just about one month old. He was discovered crying in a tangerine field, with no mother or littermates in sight. After being rescued, he was taken to a high-kill city shelter, where our organization stepped in to save him and place him in foster care. Since then, Buddy has been living in a loving foster home. Despite his incredibly sweet nature and excellent temperament, he has not yet received a single adoption inquiry. We truly believe this is only a matter of timing, because Buddy is an exceptional puppy. His foster parents describe him as “flawless”: he is smart, healthy, highly social, and friendly with both people and other dogs. He is almost finished teething and now has his permanent teeth coming in, and once his puppy coat finishes shedding, he is expected to grow into a very handsome dog. Buddy would do best in a home with another dog, as he enjoys canine companionship and gains confidence from it. Based on observation, he is not expected to do well in a home with cats. If you are looking for a loving, well-adjusted young dog and already have a canine companion, Buddy could be a wonderful match. If you are interested in learning more about him, please don’t hesitate to submit an application. The family who adopts Buddy will be incredibly lucky to have him. 💙 Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: - International transportation - Customs and export documentation - Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee. Your support directly helps us continue rescuing and caring for dogs in need, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.
