Story
**Shiloh Redford** is what happens when someone takes an enormous amount of love and somehow packages it into one perfectly petite little red dog. He is a gorgeous deep mahogany color, with a sleek little Basenji-ish look, expressive eyes and a black-and-pink speckled tongue that only adds to his collection of ridiculously cute details. His name may sound distinguished, but Shiloh is far more interested in collecting cuddles, playing with toys and making absolutely certain every person in the room gets a chance to fall in love with him. Go watchShiloh Redford | Distinguished Gentleman, Professional Cuddler on YouTube and see this affectionate little charmer in action. His pictures can show you that beautiful red coat, but you really need to see the wiggles, cuddles and gentle kisses for the full Shiloh experience. https://youtu.be/Xj-vtbH4FGk Shiloh LOVES people. When he realizes someone is there to see him, his whole little body gets involved. His belly drops low, his booty starts wiggling and those feet get tippy-tapping with excitement. Give him access to your lap and he will happily settle in, puff out his chest and look incredibly pleased with the arrangement. And Shiloh does not believe affection should be concentrated in one location. If several people are around, he will happily work the room. A little leaning here, a cuddle there, perhaps one of his wonderfully gentle kisses before moving along to make sure nobody else has been neglected. He presses his body right into you when he wants love and seems happiest when there is as little unnecessary space between himself and his people as possible. When he isn't busy being adored, Shiloh is a playful little guy who genuinely enjoys his toys. One of his cutest habits is rolling onto his back, holding a toy between his two front paws and happily entertaining himself. He also shares toys nicely with other dogs and occasionally gets a case of the zoomies when the mood strikes. He has a wonderful balance of playful and snuggly, perfectly capable of having some fun before returning to the very important business of curling up beside you. Shiloh is dog friendly, although he has preferences about how new friendships begin. Dogs around his size or smaller are the easiest fit for him, and he can also become comfortable with larger dogs once he has had a little time to get to know them. A big unfamiliar dog can initially make him feel insecure, and Shiloh may show his teeth as his way of asking for some space. He communicates rather than escalating, and once he realizes the bigger dog is safe and respectful, he warms up beautifully. We think he could be very happy as an only dog soaking up all the attention himself or sharing his home with an easy-going but playful canine friend, fast-track to friendship if they are closer to his size. He also walks nicely on leash and has that lovely combination of being interested in the world while remaining very connected to his people. Shiloh is affectionate, cheerful, playful and deeply people-oriented, with enough personality tucked into his petite little frame to make him endlessly entertaining. There are dogs who enjoy affection, and then there is Shiloh Little Red, who seems to consider loving people his actual calling. Give him a toy, a comfortable place beside you and permission to make the rounds collecting cuddles, and this little red dog will be very happy indeed. In love? Of course you are!

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to SEA💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet White🤍 ​💙 Name: White 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 3 years old (Born in September 2022) 💙 Weight: 13.6 kg / 30 lb 💙 Adogs News Account: @_adogs_ ​1. Health Condition * ​Neutered. * Microchipped, and heartworm negative. * Has received professional dental scaling, but due to severe staining, his teeth may not appear perfectly white. One or two canines are slightly chipped, but since the nerves are not damaged, no immediate treatment is required. ​2. Rescue Story * ​White was rescued from the Juksan dogslaughter farm. He endured the trauma of witnessing his friends being slaughtered before his eyes until Adogs successfully shut down the farm and brought him to safety. ​3. Basic Information * ​With People: Is a bit timid and wary of strangers, but you can easily win him over with some tasty treats! Once he gets to know you, he will come close to sniff around, linger nearby, and even let you touch them inside his kennel. However, since physical touch is still a bit unfamiliar, he might run away if you try it in an open area. Perhaps due to a painful past, he trembles and gets scared when you try to pick him up, but he is showing steady improvement compared to when he was first rescued. * ​With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs. Isn't the type to rush up to new dogs, but plays and runs around happily with his familiar furry friends. Plays very well with doggy friends in the playground. * ​With Cats: Tends to bark when spotting a cat. * ​Separation Anxiety: Unknown, as he currently lives in a group setting at our center. * ​Potty Training: Currently only relieves himself outdoors at our center. * ​Hygiene: Spins in circles to get away from the brush. * ​Walks: Is still getting used to leash walks and can be a bit nervous. We recommend walking in quiet, familiar areas. Is not fond of having a leash put on and spins in circle. However, once he’s out, he walks well and slowly, sniffing. Needs patient, consistent practice. * ​Car Sickness: Travels well without any motion sickness. * ​Biting: Has never shown any defensive or territorial biting. * ​Barking: Sometimes joins in when other dogs bark at visitors. Is very food-motivated and may sometimes bark when he wants treats. * ​Likes: Loves treats! His motivation for food often helps him overcome his fear of people. Likes and gets along great with his friend #AdogsYooah. * Dislikes: Is wary and fearful of strangers, sudden touches, and unfamiliar external stimuli. * Personality: Is shy around people but is bright and gets along great with other dogs. While he doesn't show affection or approach people eagerly just yet, he is slowly opening the heart. We believe he will blossom even more in a loving home environment!

Story
Meet Mary Ann and Ginger, an adorable bonded pair of medium-sized rescue dogs who are searching for their forever home. These super cute girls have spent their entire lives on their own until they were recently rescued. Despite their rough beginnings, Mary Ann and Ginger are incredibly sweet and are now learning to enjoy the comforts of a loving home. Both Mary Ann and Ginger get along wonderfully with other dogs, though they haven't had the chance to meet any cats yet. They need a patient adopter who will give them the time and space they need to adjust to their new surroundings and discover the joys of being cherished pets. Ginger, who bravely underwent heartworm treatment, is now healthy and heartworm negative. Both dogs are fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and on preventatives. They even tolerate baths and absolutely love being petted. Currently, Mary Ann and Ginger are being fostered in Seguin, TX, where they are receiving the care and love they deserve. If you have a kind heart and a gentle hand, these two sweethearts will surely reward you with endless affection and loyalty. Adopt Mary Ann and Ginger and give them the loving home they've always dreamed of.

Story
BELLA had a home and her family surrendered her to a rescue in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Juno's Den and Huellitas Diferentes decided to help her find a home in the PNW. She is an extremely shy pup initially who needs an experienced handler and someone knowledgeable about her breed. She gets along well with most dogs, but can be selective at times. Therefore, she will do better as an only dog. She is very affectionate and cuddly. Loves to play fetch and run. Bella will do best with an active, all adult family, and a fully fenced yard. She is housebroken and crate trained. She doesn't have separation anxiety but prefers to be around her people. ##2122004##
