Story
Hi there, my name is ‘Lot’, weird right? Well that’s because I was found young in an actual parking lot! Lately my fosters have been calling me ‘Angel’ and it really seems to fit. Even though I came from the outside, I already know the command sit, I know to walk on a leash and I am about 85% potty trained but also crate trained! I also have an angelical demeanor for a puppy! I can make you laugh just by watching me play, I love to cuddle with you and I’m very talkative! I get along with cats and dogs, being a puppy, I just want to play with everyone. Besides being an angel, I have been told I resemble a coyote too. Who knows? But, what I do know is that I’m ready for my forever home with you! Adopt me!

Asher is an extremely nice fella with an easygoing personality that makes him a joy to be around. He is affectionate, sweet, and happiest just enjoying life alongside his people.

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 : There was a stray dog that wandered around the private shelter in South Korea for years. One day, she gave birth to a litter of several puppies, and sadly she lost most of her babies during labor as well as her own life. Milo was the only puppy who lived then and became a testament to the hope that can be found in an awful situation. He has been taken care of at the shelter since, looking for a loving forever home where he can grow and thrive. • Personality: Friendly, Active, Playful Milo is such a lovable pup who likes to play with people and doggos!

Story
* Special Notes: Jinu was born with a deformity in his left front leg, but it has never defined him. He’s learned to walk in his own special way—and he can even run freely, full of joy and confidence. All Jinu needs now is a loving family to stand by his side, believe in him, and show him a world filled with adventures, warmth, and endless love🙏 • Rescue Story: Jinu’s story began with a miracle. Last July, his tiny mama was found on the streets and rescued just in time, moments before euthanasia, and brought safely to our partner clinic. On August 3rd, she gave birth to six puppies—Jinu was one of them. Jinu was born with a deformity in his left front leg and had a harder start than his siblings. With special care and love from the clinic staff, he grew up healthy and strong. One of his siblings has already found a forever home, and Jinu is now waiting for his turn at the shelter. Despite his slightly weaker leg, Jinu is a bright, happy, and positive pup who loves life. He deserves a family who will see his resilience and give him the joyful life he’s been waiting for! • Personality: Sweet, Playful, Friendly As a young puppy, Jinu's personality will continue to blossom with love and guidance. He has that joyful puppy energy that fills a home with laughter and happy chaos. • Affinity with - Dogs: Good with other dogs. - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Loves people! He hasn’t had experience with children yet, but given his young age, he is expected to adapt quickly. • Housetrained: Work in progress • Walking Manners: pretty good on a leash! • Likes: Loves people's pets and cuddles! • Shedding level (1~10): Expected to be moderate once fully grown (5–6) • Health - Vaccinations: up to date - Jinu was born with a deformity in his left front leg, but it has never defined him. He’s learned to walk in his own special way—and he can even run freely, full of joy and confidence. All Jinu needs now is a loving family to stand by his side, believe in him, and show him a world filled with adventures, warmth, and endless love🙏 Other than his leg issue, he is in perfect health! ------------- **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.
