Story
Introducing SKY with the beautiful birthmark. He is in New York to meet and greet! SKY is a sweet, active and loving guy who is a little over 4 years old (as of April 2025). We think he’s a Basenji/Terrier mix. He’s got a cute curly tail and stocky fit body. He also has an adorable personality and enjoys being silly. SKY loves to be active and go on adventures! He would be great for someone who enjoys walking or hiking. SKY also good at keeping himself with his toys and ball! SKY is great with other dogs of his size or larger! We don’t recommend he be in an home with small dogs or cats because he enjoys chasing them (as well as any small animal). SKY is a cuddler and enjoys napping on the couch and in sunny spots around the house. SKY is ready to live a wonderful life with you. Are you ready to snuggle with him? He will make the best, loyal and entertaining best friend. If you feel that SKY is a good fit for you/ your family, please complete an application from our site, miraclesforsatosrescue.org FOR IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION PLEASE COMPLETE AN APPLICATION! https://www.miraclesforsatosrescue.org/adopt Please then email the application back to us at miraclesforsatosrescue@gmail.com ------------------------------------- PLEASE READ: This dog is currently located in New York to meet and greet. Once an adopter is approved, we transport to New York/New Jersey! We strive for our dogs to be adopted into the right home. The best fit for the dog is our priority. Please make sure you are ready to properly exercise and give a dog all it need for fulfillment. In addition, we cannot guarantee breed of any dog or expected adult size of puppy. Please also note that any dog that is "house trained" will still need patience in a new home, new people and new schedule. Please be ready to house train ANY dog you adopt! Thank you for understanding.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to U.S. and Canada💟 💙 Name: Hoki 💙 Gender: Female 💙 Age: Estimated 2 years old (Born in September 2024) 💙 Weight: 5.7 kg / 12.6 lb 💙 Adogs News Account: @_adogs_ 1. Health Condition * Spayed. * Microchipped, heartworm negative, and anaplasma to be retested in December 2026. 2. Rescue Story * Hoki had been staying at the Gimje City Shelter. The shelter environment was extremely harsh for such a young and small dog to endure. Despite the difficult conditions, Hoki never lost her trust in people. She had become very thin, so Adogs urgently rescued her. 3. Basic Information * With people: Is not shy around people and accepts calmly cuddles even in the arms of someone she has just met. Is a very gentle and easygoing dog who makes good eye contact and enjoys physical affection. * With dogs: Gets along well with the other dogs at our center. Rather than actively seeking out other dogs, she prefers to quietly rest on her own. However, when another dog approaches her to play, she happily responds. * With cats: Has not met any cats yet. * Separation anxiety: Is difficult to assess because she is currently living in a group setting at our center. May need to receive new training after moving to a new environment. * Potty training: Uses a pee pad indoors without accidents. May need to be retrained after moving to a new environment. * Hygiene: Loves being brushed—she really seems to enjoy the feeling and sits so nicely for it. * Walks: Walks well without pulling on the leash. * Car Sickness: Has thrown up before while traveling in a car. * Has never shown any biting or nipping behavior. * Has not shown nuisance barking, whining, or similar vocalization. * Is calm and gentle. Has a sweet, mild temperament and is very friendly toward people.

However, she will accept treats from familiar people. * With Dogs: She stays comfortable when dog friends approach her first and loves hanging out with them. * With Cats: She has not yet been introduced to cats. * Separation Anxiety: Since she is currently living in a group setting at the shelter, her individual anxiety levels are unknown.

Retraining will be necessary when she moves to a new environment. * Grooming & Hygiene: Brushing and nail trimming are still unfamiliar to her, but she stays patient and tolerates them well. * Walking: Because she is still settling into the center, she has not had outdoor leash walking experience yet. * Motion Sickness: She rides comfortably in the car without any signs of motion sickness. * Biting: She has never shown any biting tendencies. * Barking: She has never barked or whined.
