Health Condition * ​Neutered. * Microchipped, and heartworm negative. * Has received professional dental scaling, but due to severe staining, his teeth may not appear perfectly white.

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.

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!

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.

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##

Story
Some dogs are perfectly happy being extras. They wander through the background of life, making brief appearances and then disappearing again.Bubbles is not one of those dogs.Bubbles is absolutely convinced she is the main character.She approaches life with enthusiasm, curiosity, and the firm belief that something exciting is about to happen. She loves to play, loves to learn, and loves having someone special to follow from room to room, just in case they need assistance with whatever important activity they are doing.For the last two and a half years, however, the story has not gone according to plan.You see, every main character eventually gets to their big moment. The chapter where they find their family. The scene where they finally walk through the front door of the place they belong. The happy ending everyone has been waiting for.Bubbles has been patiently waiting for that chapter to begin.The strange thing is that she is ready for it. She is smart, fun, affectionate, and full of personality. She lights up when she trusts someone and gives her whole heart once she decides you are her person.Yet somehow, her story is still sitting on the shelf waiting for the next page to be turned.Additional chapters, photographs, and behind-the-scenes footage of Bubbles' story can be found here:https://hope4lapawz.org/wp1/bubbles-2023056DWe think it’s time someone fixed that.Bubbles isn’t looking for a temporary role or a guest appearance. She is looking for her forever family. The people who will finally give her the starring role she was always meant to have.And honestly?We’ve been waiting for that chapter, too.This dog is currently in foster care in La Paz, Mexico, but will be transported upon adoption or foster placement.

Story
HI - I'M FERNANDO, a small and timid 2-year-old mix in need of a foster or forever home. I weigh only about 35 lbs. I haven't been well-socialized in my young life so am shy/wary of new people. So I need a patient adopter who can help me come out of my shell. I am currently in Southern California, but can be transported to Washington at no extra charge beyond a nominal adoption fee. Please email for an adoption/foster application and additional photos.

These pups are in Bellevue, Washington too!

Story
**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!

Story
**About Heedol:** Heedol 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 Heedol’s journey begins. Adopters are responsible for picking him up directly from a major international airport. Common arrival hubs include: West Coast: SFO, SEA, LAX. East Coast & Central: JFK, IAH 🐕 Heedol (Born Sept 6, 2025) Personality- He is cheerful, active, and becomes friends with strangers almost instantly. While he gets along well with other dogs, he tends to prefer people more. Even at dog parks, he is very laid-back and relaxed. He has a high energy level and is very food-motivated. He loves balls and enjoys playing fetch. Since he is still a puppy, he occasionally chews on blankets. Has he met children- He gets along well with everyone, regardless of whether they are children or adults. Has he met cats- He doesn't show much interest in them, but he has never been left alone with a cat by himself. How is he when traveling in a car- He currently drools a bit. He always travels in a kennel when in the car. His condition is gradually improving. How is his potty training- We are currently training him to go potty outdoors. Does he bark or whine when left alone- There is a bit of whining at first, but he quickly gives up and settles down well. Is he sensitive or protective of any objects/food around people or other dogs?- He may show guarding behavior initially, but he stops and corrects himself when the foster parent says "No." When given treats, he waits for his turn. Does he have experience with a leash and walking? How does he behave on a leash?- He does quite well. He needs a little time to adjust, but he isn't frantic and does not pull on the leash.

**About Olio:** Thank you for interested in adopting Olio. Please know that Olio 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. Personally: He gets along very well with the dogs he lives with. However, when meeting smaller dogs outside, he sometimes approaches them a bit too eagerly, so he is currently in training to improve his manners. After meeting a couple of times and becoming familiar, he does well. Since he’s still a puppy, he is continuing consistent training. He can be a little timid, but he absolutely loves people. More than treats, he prefers physical affection and bonding time with humans. He is incredibly sweet and loving. With children: No particular issues. He does not show any preference and is generally comfortable with everyone. With cats- There is a cat in his foster home. He shows curiosity but he does not show any aggression. Car rides- He stays calm and rides very well. He has been crate-trained for car rides since he was young, so he travels comfortably in a crate. Potty train- He uses pee pads indoors. For poop, he goes outdoors 100%. Recently, he has started preferring outdoor potty more. Left alone- He stays calm and quiet when alone. Guarding behavior- No guarding behavior toward people. He calmly allows people to take things out of his mouth. Even if another dog takes his toy or food, he doesn’t react. He likes people more than treats or toys. Leash: He’s very curious and loves walks. He happily goes anywhere and enjoys exploring.
