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
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
I am pretty sure my rescuers were HUNGRY when they named us. Cashew is my name and I am as delightful as a sweet n nutty n salty treat. My babies were named after food too! Who names puppies Chicken, Banana and Raisin?? Hungry rescuers! When we were found, we were HUNGRY TOO! We were "living" at a gas station in the 90 to 100 degree temperatures and unbelievable flooding. 🌧 We are SURVIVORS! As mama to this crew I was so very scared for our safety but was also scared of the people helping us... fast forward to today! I love my people and my babies are growing and finding their own homes. It's my turn now! I am a good girl, great size of 30# and a heart full of love and adventure! Adopt me soon!! Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Health Condition * Spayed. * Microchipped, heartworm negative, and anaplasma to be retested in December 2026. 2. Rescue Story * Hoki had been staying at the Gimje City Shelter.

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to U.S. and Canada💟 💙 Name: Toddy 💙 Gender: Female 💙 Age: 3 years old (Born in July 2023) 💙 Weight: 7.9 kg / 17.4 lb 💙 Adogs Instagram: @_adogs_ 1. Health Condition * Spayed. * Microchipped, anaplasma and heartworm to be retested in November 2026 and February 2027 respectively, dental scaling done. 2. Rescue Story * Toddy was living at the Gimje City Shelter. Realizing that she could no longer hold out in a harsh shelter environment vulnerable to suffocating heat and infectious diseases, Adogs acted quickly to rescue her. 3. Basic Information * With People: Is very shy and wary of strangers, so needs time to build trust and become comfortable with new people. When meeting someone unfamiliar, she tends to avoid them, but does not show extreme fear or bark. With people she knows, she sometimes approaches them on her own to take treats and is generally not easily startled when they move around nearby. However, even with familiar people, she may still shy away if they approach her first. Is also not yet comfortable with physical contact, and her body tends to stiffen even when familiar people try to pet her. * With Dogs: Comfortably accepts other dogs approaching first, loves socializing, and enjoys running and playing together with dog pals. * With Cats: Has not met cats yet. * Separation Anxiety: Currently living in a group setting at our center, so individual separation anxiety cannot be assessed yet. Training will be needed upon moving to a home environment. * Potty Training: Is good at using potty pads. Re-training will be necessary when transitioning to a new environment. * Hygiene: Is unfamiliar with brushing and nail trims, but accepts them politely without fuss. * Walks: Still adjusting to center life, so she has not experienced outdoor walks yet. * Car Sickness: Travels very well in cars with no signs of motion sickness. * Nipping: Shows no biting behaviors. * Barking: Has never barked or whined. Training may be needed when transitioning to a home. * Temperament: While still adapting to new surroundings and shy around humans, she truly brightens up around other dogs and loves playing with furry friends. Is very calm, gentle and quiet soul.

Story
MEET FRANCO, an adorable but scared 2-year-old French Bulldog/possibly Basenji or Shepherd mix in need of a foster or forever home. Franco is currently housed with his sister Brie, who looks a lot like him and is also scared. They can be adopted separately or apart. They weigh about 35 lbs each. (Their paperwork may say shepherd mix but they both have Frenchie ears.) Both of them are timid/scared of new people, so they need adopters who can be patient and let them come out of their shells and bond to you. Franco is cute as a button and a wonderful medium size. He is currently in California, but can be transported to Washington. Please email for an application.

These pups are in Burien, Washington too!

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.

Story
Hi, my name is Haengbok 🐾It means “happiness” in Korean — and while I may not feel fully happy just yet, I know my forever family will help me get there.I’m a 3-year-old Jindo girl with a gentle soul and a loving heart. I can be a little shy when we first meet, but if you show me patience and kindness, I’ll trust you quickly — sometimes in just a few hours. Once I do, I absolutely love cuddles, pets, and being close to my people.I was rescued by the director of Dream Tails when I was just a young pup. Back then, I wasn’t ready to find my forever home — I needed time to grow, learn, and feel safe. With the help of my trainers, I’ve opened my heart and shown everyone what a truly affectionate and loyal dog I am. I’m just waiting for someone who will understand me and love me for who I am.I get along very well with other dogs, but mealtime can make me a bit sensitive. With continued training, consistency, and reassurance, I’ll learn that everything is okay and that I don’t have to worry anymore.I do have some fears, and I might get startled by unexpected things on walks. I can walk on a leash, and with the support of a calm, loving human by my side, I know I can overcome these worries. All I need is someone willing to walk this journey with me.I’m a sweet, gentle, almost-fully-happy girl — waiting for my forever parents to help me complete my story.Will you be the one to make my name come true?

Story
Sia is a sweet 1-year-old male Jindo mix, weighing about 16 kilos, and the brother of Joonsoo. With his gentle nature and loving personality, Sia is a dog who quickly wins hearts. Sia loves humans and cuddles. He enjoys being close to people and happily soaks up affection whenever it’s offered. He is also excellent with other dogs and shows no food aggression. When he first arrived he was very skinny, so he can still eat quite quickly — a habit from the time when meals were uncertain. As he settles into a stable home and routine, this usually improves. Like many rescue dogs, Sia has never lived inside a home before, so his future family will need to guide him through house training and daily routines. With gentle, calm training and consistency, he is expected to adapt well. He may also need some patient guidance to become fully comfortable walking on a leash. Sia can sometimes be a bit skittish around men, but with kindness and time he learns to trust. He is generally a quiet dog and rarely barks, though as a true Jindo he may alert his family if someone knocks on the door or rings the bell. He has balanced energy — happy to be active and explore outside on walks, but calm and relaxed once back at home. Sia would thrive with a patient, gentle family who can help him build confidence and show him that the world is a safe place. Sia is ready to give his heart to a family who will guide him with kindness and love.
