Step aside, Simone Biles, there's a new athlete in town, and his name is Lingo! This curious and playful pup is always up for a good time and is sure to keep you on your toes. With his athletic build and playful spirit, he's a bundle of energy and joy. Lingo is an independent guy who loves exploring and discovering new things, but he's also a friendly and loyal companion. He's a bit of a free spirit and is happy to do his own thing, but he'll always come back to you for a good belly rub. Lingo is the life of the party and is sure to keep you entertained with his silly antics. He's a true original and is looking for a family with experience with his breed that will appreciate his unique personality and give him the love and attention he deserves. Could you be the one to unlock Lingo's heart and let the fun begin?

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.

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to U.S. and Canada💟 💙 Name: Toddy 💙 Gender: Female 💙 Age: 3 years old (Born in July 2023) 💙 Weight: 7.9 kg / 17.4 lb 💙 Adogs Instagram: @_adogs_ 1. Health Condition * Spayed. * Microchipped, anaplasma and heartworm to be retested in November 2026 and February 2027 respectively, dental scaling done. 2. Rescue Story * Toddy was living at the Gimje City Shelter. Realizing that she could no longer hold out in a harsh shelter environment vulnerable to suffocating heat and infectious diseases, Adogs acted quickly to rescue her. 3. Basic Information * With People: Is very shy and wary of strangers, so needs time to build trust and become comfortable with new people. When meeting someone unfamiliar, she tends to avoid them, but does not show extreme fear or bark. With people she knows, she sometimes approaches them on her own to take treats and is generally not easily startled when they move around nearby. However, even with familiar people, she may still shy away if they approach her first. Is also not yet comfortable with physical contact, and her body tends to stiffen even when familiar people try to pet her. * With Dogs: Comfortably accepts other dogs approaching first, loves socializing, and enjoys running and playing together with dog pals. * With Cats: Has not met cats yet. * Separation Anxiety: Currently living in a group setting at our center, so individual separation anxiety cannot be assessed yet. Training will be needed upon moving to a home environment. * Potty Training: Is good at using potty pads. Re-training will be necessary when transitioning to a new environment. * Hygiene: Is unfamiliar with brushing and nail trims, but accepts them politely without fuss. * Walks: Still adjusting to center life, so she has not experienced outdoor walks yet. * Car Sickness: Travels very well in cars with no signs of motion sickness. * Nipping: Shows no biting behaviors. * Barking: Has never barked or whined. Training may be needed when transitioning to a home. * Temperament: While still adapting to new surroundings and shy around humans, she truly brightens up around other dogs and loves playing with furry friends. Is very calm, gentle and quiet soul.
