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🤍 ​💙 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!

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
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##

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
🏠 Currently  in a Toronto  foster home Hi, my name is Soonsu! 🐾 I'm a 2-year-old male Jindo, around 20kg (about 44 lbs), and I’m so excited to finally introduce myself to you! I’ve had a bit of a rough start in life. I was rescued just in time before facing a very sad fate, and since then, I’ve been working really hard to become the best boy I can be. I grew up in a shelter with my puppy friends, and now I’m in training school where I’ve been learning all about how to connect with people and live happily in a home. And let me tell you—I absolutely love people! I mean it. I prefer spending time with humans way more than with other dogs. Sometimes, I might gently jump up to get your attention—it’s just my way of saying, “Please love me!” If you pet me or give me a hug, I’ll be the happiest pup in the world. I crave affection and love being your shadow. I’m also super smart and super food-motivated, so treats are a great way to help me learn. Training? Bring it on! I focus really well when snacks are involved and I'm always eager to please. Now, I’ve never lived in a home before, so house life might be a little confusing for me at first. I might have some accidents in the beginning, but I promise I’ll try my best to learn quickly—especially if you’re patient and kind with me. I don’t get shy around new people at all. Whether we’ve just met or we’ve known each other forever, I open my heart easily. I’m just a big lovebug who wants to be part of a family where I can finally feel safe, loved, and at home. So, if you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and happy pup who will love you with his whole heart—I’m your Soonsu. 🧡 I’m ready for a fresh start and a forever family. Could that be you? With love,

Story
**🏠 Currently  in a Vancouver foster home** Hi, my name is Hugh 🤍 I’m a male Jindo mix, 1 year old, and I weigh about 10kg (22 lb). I’m still a puppy, and the world is a little unfamiliar to me. I was rescued when I was very young and grew up living with other puppies. During my time at a foster home in Korea, I had some difficult experiences with young children who touched me too much and didn’t know when to stop. Because of that, I’ve learned to be cautious about approaching people first. But that’s not the whole story of who I am. At first, I may take a step back and quietly observe. But if you give me time and let us get to know each other, I’ll allow gentle touch, and eventually, I’ll choose to come closer on my own. Once trust is built, I’ll look at my person with soft eyes, walk over quietly, and lean against them for comfort. I’m very social with other dogs. I get along well with dogs my age and feel calm and secure when I’m around them. With unfamiliar people or new environments, I just need a little more time to adjust. During that time, I ask that you respect my pace and watch over me with patience and consistent love. I’m still only 1 year old. Before my past worries become permanent, with enough time and bonding with my person, my current cautiousness can fade away. I have so much potential to grow into a loving, affectionate, and gentle companion. I’m careful because I was hurt, but that also means I’m truly ready to learn what love is. What I need isn’t special training or advanced skills— just someone who can say, “It’s okay. Take your time.” I’m waiting for someone who will walk beside me through that time, until my heart feels safe enough to fully open. My past may have been painful, but my future can be warm— with you 🤍🐾

Story
Hello! My name is Judy, and I'm a 2-year-old Jindo mix weighing 9.5kg. I'm looking for a family who will see just how special I am. Before I was rescued, I spent my days wandering the streets on my own. Thankfully, I was brought to safety and given a fresh start. Now I'm ready to find a forever home where I can finally belong. If you're looking for a social butterfly, I might be your perfect match! I absolutely love people and enjoy making new friends wherever I go. Even though Jindos are often known for being reserved with strangers, that's not really my style. I'll happily walk right up to new people, turn around, wiggle my little bottom, and silently ask, "Could you give me some pets right here?" I adore being close to my people, getting kisses, and even climbing onto your lap whenever I can. 🥰 I enjoy spending time with other dogs too! One of my favorite places is a dog park where I can run, chase my friends, and zoom around with endless excitement. I'm an energetic girl who loves outdoor adventures, so I'd be happiest with a family that enjoys walks, playtime, and making fun memories together. I do have one little quirk—I'm a bit protective of my favorite toys and treats. When I'm playing with other dogs, it's best if toys and high-value snacks are put away so everyone can enjoy themselves peacefully. With this simple management, I get along wonderfully with my canine friends. When I move to a new place, I might have an occasional potty accident while I'm figuring everything out. But don't worry—I'm a quick learner and adapt very quickly. When I first arrived at the rescue, I settled in almost immediately and showed everyone what a bright, confident girl I am. Once I understand my routine, I know exactly where to go. There's something special about me that I'd love my future family to know. I have hearing loss, so I don't hear sounds the way most dogs do. But that doesn't stop me from learning! At the rescue, I've been taught using hand signals, and I already know basic cues like "sit." If my new family continues communicating with me the same way, I'll happily keep learning. I may not hear your voice, but I pay close attention to your eyes, your smile, and your hands. Sometimes I also walk in small circles in one direction. This is believed to be a neurological behavior that has become a long-standing habit since I was young. The good news is that it doesn't interfere with my daily life, and I'm otherwise a happy, active dog. I have so much love to give. I love being loved, and I love showing my affection right back. My world isn't built around sounds—it's built around trust, kindness, gentle touches, and the people who choose to love me. I'm dreaming of a family who will take me on adventures, run and play with me, and "talk" to me through hand signals and loving smiles. Together, we'll create a language that's all our own. My journey has already shown me that life can get better. Now I'm just waiting for the people who will make it complete.
