Story
✅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🤍 💙 News & Updates: @_adogs_ ​1⃣ Health Status * ​Neutered: Yes. ​* 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. ​2⃣ Rescue Story * ​White was rescued from the Juksan dog meat 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. ​3⃣ Personality & Traits * ​Interaction with People: Is a bit shy and tends to cautiously avoid strangers. However, he can be won over with treats! While he stays close to those he knows, he still gets a bit "flighty" when someone reaches out to touch him. If gently cornered, he accepts touch well, and familiar faces can pet him anywhere without issue. Though not yet overtly affectionate, he is slowly opening his heart. We believe he will bond quickly once he settles into a consistent home environment. * ​Interaction with Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs. He isn't the type to rush up to new dogs, but plays and runs around happily with his familiar furry friends. * ​Interaction with Cats: Not yet tested. * ​Separation Anxiety: Unknown, as he currently lives in a group setting at the center. * ​House Training: Currently only relieves himself outdoors at the center. * ​Grooming: Might try to run away when it's time for maintenance, but once you catch him, he is very well-behaved during petting and brushing. * ​Walking: Is still getting used to leash walks and can be a bit nervous. We recommend walking in quiet, familiar areas. Doesn't pull on the leash, but may "freeze" or resist moving if he encounters something scary. Needs patient, consistent practice. * ​Car Rides: Travels well without any motion sickness. * ​Mouthiness/Biting: Has never shown any defensive or territorial biting. * ​Barking: Rarely barks, though he sometimes joins in when other dogs bark at visitors. * ​Likes: Loves treats! His motivation for food often helps him overcome his fear of people. * ​Dislikes: Is wary and fearful of strangers, vehicles, and unfamiliar external stimuli.

Hi there I am NalaI am a mature, self confident dog who would love to find a forever home. I live now with other dogs who I love to play with, cats who I respect and play with if they want to, and kids who like to pet me. I have not had much experience with toys, but I do love a good game of tug. I like to be active, but I am good to just chill out with you too. Nothing like an evening of cuddling with the family to make my day complete.I like car rides, I do not get sick, and I stay calm. My foster says I make a great copilot. I know all my basic commands like sit and stay and I love to walk. When I am walking with my foster I stay close and walk at their pace. If it sounds like we would be a good fit, then just fill in the application and we can meet on a Zoom call.Just waiting for you.NalaThis dog is currently in foster care in La Paz, Mexico, but will be transported upon adoption or foster placement. As a U.S. nonprofit, Hope 4 La Pawz, handles all logistics and provides full behavioral and medical info in advance.

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##

Now all they need is a forever family to show them just how good life can be. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
**About Rose:** Rose is an international rescue all the way from South Korean. While "international adoption" might sound like a major undertaking, we have years of experience streamlining this process to make it as smooth as possible. We’ll be right by your side to explain every step! The Journey Home Once your application is approved, the final step of Rose’s journey begins. Adopters are responsible for picking her up directly from a major international airport. Common arrival hubs include: West Coast: SFO, SEA, LAX. East Coast & Central: JFK, IAH Personality: Rose is a very lively, social, and gentle dog. She loves food and is not picky at all, which helps her bond quickly with people. She is friendly with everyone regardless of age or gender and approaches both children and adults with enthusiasm. When she gets very excited or wants something, she may jump high. She has improved a lot with training and does not jump on her foster caregiver, but she may still try with new people, so continued guidance will be helpful. She is very friendly with other dogs and plays well with them. She has good manners and even lies down and waits if another dog does not want to play. She also plays well on her own and happily shares toys without any guarding behavior. She rarely barks and does not show destructive behavior. Social & Environment: Rose loves outdoor activities and enjoys running. She is comfortable in various environments such as parks, mountains, beaches, and city areas. (She enjoys the beach but does not swim.) She may briefly chase fast-moving things like butterflies, leaves, or flying objects, so some attention is needed during walks. She can be sensitive to loud noises or unfamiliar large objects (such as at the vet), and in those situations she may become timid or try to move away. Experience with Children: She has briefly interacted with a 3-year-old child and has met elementary school children. She may show slight caution at first but warms up quickly. Experience with Cats: She has seen cats during walks and may try to chase them out of curiosity. With guidance and redirection, she loses interest. Car Rides: She does well in the car. She usually sits calmly while looking outside or plays with chew toys. Potty Training: 100% outdoor potty trained. Follows a consistent routine (twice daily: morning and evening) She tries to hold it if needed, so maintaining a routine is important. When Left Alone: She entertains herself well by playing with toys or chewing on safe items. She rarely barks. Resource Guarding: No guarding behavior. She shares well and waits patiently. Occasionally, if she wants to enjoy something alone, she simply walks away with it rather than showing aggression. Leash & Walking: Rose walks at least two hours a day and loves walks very much. She enjoys exploring, sniffing, and especially running in open spaces like fields or beaches. She may pull at the beginning of walks due to excitement but responds to correction and tries to control herself. She understands leash routines well — she sits and waits to be leashed and also waits calmly after walks before entering the house. Commands Learned: Sit Wait Come Mealtime cue (“Mamma”) Paw House No Kiss

**About Aglio:** Thank you for interested in adopting Aglio. Please know that Aglio is an international rescue through South Korea. When your application is approved, you will need to pick him up from the airport - such as SFO, SEA, JFK, LAX, IAH, etc. International adoption is not a complicated process and we‘ve done the process many years. We would be happy to explain to you how the process works. - Personality: He is very energetic and easygoing. He is not sensitive or nervous. He may be a little shy when meeting new people at first, but he warms up quickly. He wants to greet other dogs and has a bright, friendly personality that allows him to get along well with anyone at dog parks. - with kid: He may be a little shy at first, but with time he gets along well with people, including children. - with cats: When he sees cats during walks, he tilts his head and looks at them. Because he is still young, he does not show much reaction toward cats. - car rides: He rides in the car very well. Since he has been riding since he was young, he has no problems at all. - potty training: He goes poop outdoors. He pees both indoors and outdoors, and when indoors, he uses pee pads only. His pee pad success rate is 100%. - left alone: He whines very briefly at first but then stays calm. - guarding behavior: No. With just a simple “wait” command, he can patiently wait his turn next to another dog. He is very smart. - Leash & walking experience: He is currently being walked on a leash and does very well with it. There are no issues.

**About Koda:** Thank you for interested in adopting Koda. Please know that Koda is an international rescue through South Korea. When your application is approved, you will need to pick him up from the airport - such as SFO, SEA, JFK, LAX, IAH, etc. International adoption is not a complicated process and we‘ve done the process many years. We would be happy to explain to you how the process works. Personality: Koda is cheerful and energetic. He can be a bit competitive with dogs at a similar energy level but is gentle with older dogs. While he has built a strong bond with his foster, he can be wary of strangers. He should not be let off-leash as he avoids capture or close contact without it. He is generally cautious in new situations but shows resilience and adapts well over time. Koda does well with both children and adults. He may be nervous at first, but after 4–5 days he warms up and becomes affectionate. He has a tendency to chase stray cats, so living with cats may not be suitable. Car Rides: Travels well in the car without issues. Housebreaking: Prefers outdoor potty. Alone Time: May whine a little and bark at outside noises, but settles down. Leash & Walks: Currently in leash training. He may try to run after birds or small animals, so caution is needed. Coming from a street life, he is wary of cars and waits for them to pass even from a distance. - Koda is shy at first, but adapts quickly and shows strong affection once trust is built. - Shows some “one-person dog” tendencies, bonding closely with the foster. - Naturally energetic and active due to his young age, but he has good self-control. Koda is ready to find his forever loving home. If you’re interested in him, please feel free to reach out to us anytime!
