Story

This handsome boy named Fievel is only around 9 months old and weighs 50 pounds. He showed up on someone's porch starved and would not leave. The couple would not feed him -even when he came to them, trying to get them to pet him, they ignored poor Fievel. Finally, they called the local animal control saying they wanted them to come and get him off their porch immediately. Fievel was brought back to the animal shelter but since he was such a sweet boy, they did not euthanize him and called a rescue instead. Fievel is now neutered and fully vetted but is missing the one thing in life that he wants the most, and that is a family. Can you be the one to give Fievel his biggest hope and wish?? Fievel is up to date on vaccines and preventatives - he is in "move in" condition. His adoption fee is $415. Please fill out an application at ehrdogs.org and give this happy boy the wonderful home he deserves. He can't wait to be part of your family!

Veterinary evaluation confirmed it requires no special treatment or major concern. 2️⃣ Rescue Story * Klein was originally rescued as a young puppy alongside four siblings from a slaughterhouse in Jeongeup and moved to the local shelter. A year later, when the siblings and Klein were placed on the euthanasia list, Adogs stepped in to urgently rescue all four of them. 3️⃣ Basic Information * People Reaction: Slightly fearful of people, but has high curiosity and affection. Will approach strangers to sniff them, with overall responsiveness continually improving. Still wary of adult men and may hide behind the guardian, but has become comfortable enough with a familiar middle-aged man to run up to him for treats. Greets the guardian with a wagging tail and affection; showed little interest in young children. * Dog Reaction: At dog cafés, mostly stays near humans, occasionally visiting liked dogs to sniff them. Dislikes overly pushy or clingy dogs. Dislikes sharing a stroller with another dog, but shows no severe rejection. * Cat Reaction: Excitement around cats has decreased significantly, but may still try to chase them during walks, so sudden leash tension requires caution. * Separation Anxiety: Showed symptoms of separation anxiety, but is improving. Still tries to open doors or search for the foster caregiver, though can now rest comfortably on the couch alone. May chew on the shoe rack when left alone due to lingering anxiety. * Potty Training: Recently started doing indoor pottying. Has a 90% accuracy rate when pads are laid out, though aiming isn't always precise. Strongly prefers outdoor pottying. * Grooming & Hygiene: Tolerates baths and brushing well despite not loving them. Runs away from hair dryers, toothbrushes, and nail clippers out of fear, requiring two people to manage. Brushing goes smoothly when held on the floor. Sheds during summer and winter. * Walking: Enjoys running and playing, but has an escape instinct and may try to dash out when doors open. Using a double leash (collar + harness) is recommended. Sensitive to heat and tires quickly on summer walks. * Motion Sickness: No motion sickness, but gets scared of evening neon signs and lights, seeking comfort in human arms. * Biting / Chewing: Has never shown aggression toward people, but tends to chew on electrical cords or wire doors. Once showed a defensive warning nip toward another dog while eating. * Barking: Howls after the foster caregiver leaves, and may whine briefly out of joy upon their return. * Likes: Chicken breast meat sticks and walks. Loves plush, cozy spots and enjoys chewing hard objects like charger cables or plastic hangers. Likes warmth, enjoys wearing clothes, and sleeps much more comfortably when dressed. * Dislikes: Strangers and loud noises. Uncomfortable sitting on cold floors and hesitant to enter dark, narrow kennels or crates. Trembles in fear when seeing people kick balls at dog cafés. * Tricks: Commands "Sit" well when treats are involved. * Personality: Prefers quiet, comfortable environments and builds trust gradually. Expressiveness, affection, and patience have improved significantly while staying with the foster family.

Story

This is beautiful DOUGIE and he's such a good boy! He's a Basenji and Carolina mix who is just under 2 years old fully grown at 46 pounds! He has beautiful golden coloring and one brown eye and one blue eye which makes him even more special. As you can see in his pics and videos, Dougie is always smiling...he's really a happy dog who welcomes each day as a chance to have fun. He's living with a great Foster family now who have other dogs so it's like doggie camp for him! He's a lover boy and wonderful with everyone he meets and other dogs too. We tested him with kitties too and he did fine too. He's also a smart cookie....we have lots of videos with him showing how he sits so politely waiting for his treats! And, when Dougie wants to go for a walk, he picks up his leash and prances around with it in his mouth :) It’s impossible not to smile! He is the ultimate medium-energy, happy-go-lucky boy—great with other dogs and everyone he meets. He'll be a great family dog and a great companion to adopters who like to go hiking or bring their pup on errands with them. Dougie is a real good time and endlessly entertaining. Whoever adopts this wonderful boy will have a loyal companion and a lifetime of laughter! We're looking for a wonderful family who have a fenced yard so he can play and take lots snoozes in the sun. He'd do great with doggie siblings but could easily be a solo pup because he loves to hang our with his peeps. He's healthy, up to date on all his vaccinations and so ready to be part of a family! Reach out to Long Road Home Rescue (lrhrescue@gmail.com or 516-459-3509) to get lots more info, pics and videos of this great guy!🐾❤️

Story

This is a Courtesy Listing and has no affiliation with Petrescue. Please contact the owner listed below directly. Toby is a 6-year-old neutered Basenji who is up to date on all vaccinations and looking for a special home that understands his needs and will give him the love and stability he deserves. He is completely house-trained and spends much of his day happily curled up in his cozy bed, catching up on naps. While he enjoys relaxing indoors, he also needs an active home where he can get regular exercise. He loves running around the backyard on a long lead, playing fetch, and during the winter, you'll find him leaping into the air to catch snowballs—his absolute favorite game! Toby cannot be off-leash and should always be in a securely managed environment. He is also afraid of water and does not enjoy baths. Around the people he knows and trusts, Toby is a sweet, affectionate cuddle bug. He loves curling up in laps, giving kisses, and spending quality time with his family. Having a safe space of his own is very important to him. His crate, complete with a soft bed, serves as his cozy retreat where he feels secure and comfortable. Toby warms up to new people fairly quickly when introductions are calm and positive, especially if they come bearing some of his favorite treats! Cheese, peanut butter, bananas, and just about any kind of meat are sure ways to win him over. He also enjoys chewing on bully sticks and stuffed Kongs. Because of his behavioral needs, Toby requires an experienced and understanding home. He has fear-based aggression, food aggression, and guarding behaviors that will need continued management and respect for his boundaries. He would do best as the only pet in the home, as he is not compatible with other dogs or cats. Toby does well with respectful children ages 8 and older. His ideal home is one that is patient, calm, active, and committed to helping him feel safe and secure. In return, he will reward his trusted people with loyalty, affection, cuddles, and plenty of personality. More than anything, we want to find Toby a loving, cage-free home where he can continue to thrive and enjoy the happy life he deserves. If you are interested in this dog, please contact sarah.winans@guilderlandschools.net

Yeonji(V)

Jindo Mutt

Female, 1 yr 9 mos

Plainfield, NJ

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

🩷 Rescue Story Yeonji was first noticed near my home on two separate occasions after escaping from her leash. Each time, she appeared timid but showed strong affection toward people—wagging her tail, staying close, and following me quietly. Knowing where she lived, I walked her back to her home and politely asked the owner if he had lost his dog. The owner was a man in his nineties, living alone in a severely dilapidated wooden house, and he had noticeable difficulty communicating. Although Yeonji had willingly followed me until then, she immediately ran away the moment she saw him. Assuming she had simply wanted to stay outside longer, I gently took her leash and handed her back. The owner then tied her to an extremely short chain. Feeling uneasy, I stayed nearby instead of returning home. Shortly after, I heard Yeonji screaming. I rushed back and witnessed the owner striking her repeatedly with an iron rod while she lay on the ground crying in pain. As it was late at night, I intervened verbally and stayed outside the property for some time to ensure the abuse stopped. The following day, I returned in daylight and, with the owner’s permission, removed Yeonji from the property and secured her safety. She has been living in foster care ever since. 🌿 Temperament & Behavior Yeonji has limited experience with cats, but in brief encounters she showed no aggression and little interest. She is highly social with other dogs. During first meetings, she engages calmly through sniffing and exploration without any aggressive behavior. She is well suited for a multi-dog household. With people, Yeonji is initially shy and does not approach strangers right away. However, within about one to two hours, she relaxes significantly and begins to show affection. She is particularly fearful of adult men and may bark once or twice from a distance. This behavior is fear-based and not aggressive. 🚶 Walking & Daily Life When first rescued, Yeonji was very timid on walks and stayed close behind her handler. As she settled in, her young and energetic nature began to emerge, and she now shows some leash pulling. She is currently in leash training and continues to improve. Her shedding level is moderate, around 6 out of 10. She has no known food allergies and eats well without being picky. 🏡 Habits & Training Yeonji defecates exclusively outdoors. She may urinate indoors, but when a designated potty pad is provided, she uses it appropriately. Occasionally, she may mistake white rugs or similar items for a potty pad. She may whine briefly when someone leaves the house, but this does not last long and she shows no other signs of separation anxiety. She barks only occasionally when startled or frightened, such as hearing unfamiliar noises or someone suddenly entering her space. These barks are brief and non-aggressive. 💛 Likes & Personality Yeonji is extremely affectionate with people, especially with her caregiver. She enjoys playing with other dogs and likes toys she can hold and manipulate with her front paws. She does not have strong dislikes, though unfamiliar objects or situations can make her cautious at first. She is currently living in a foster home and has been with her foster family for approximately two months.

• Rescue Story : Meet Dawook👋 an adorable pup with a beautiful smile! Dawook was one of the 9 puppies found on a street in South Korea at just two months old and taken to a high-risk shelter. They were luckily saved right before euthanasia by the rescue team, but Dawook had to be hospitalized due to the mange treatment while all his siblings found their foster homes.

This friendly pup is more than ready to find a forever home! • Personality: Friendly, Easy-going, Active Dawook's endearing and bright personality shines through with his charming smile and playful demeanor even in the shelter. We would like him to have a family who enjoys outdoor adventures so that Dawook can experience many activities he has been missing while staying in the shelter. • Affinity with -Cats: Curious about them -Dogs: Gets along with other dogs in the shelter, but due to his play style, it would be ideal as the only dog in the house. -Adults/Kids: Good with all people, including men and kids, but he hasn't lived with kids in a house before, so it will be necessary to watch him being around kids at the beginning. • Shedding: 5-6 • Food Allergies: No. • Walking Manner: good on a leash! • Housetrained: He would prefer to potty outdoors when adopted with regular walks. • Bathing/Brushing: tolerates both well • Separation Anxiety: None. • Bark or Howl: No. • Carsickness: No. • Like & Dislike: LOVES people, attention, and treats! • Health: a healthy boy! 💙 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.
