Hi there I'm Nala,I 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 don't get sick, and I stay calm. My foster says I make a great co-pilot. 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.

❗️Mukgoo was abandoned after five years' adoption. We are looking for families in the United States❗️ **He is currently in Seattle** Meet Mukgoo🤎 💙 Adogs News Account: @_adogs_ 1⃣ Health Condition * Neutered. 2⃣ Rescue Story * Mukgoo was rescued and adopted to a family in the US before Adogs started its mission. After living well for a couple of years, his family’s circumstances has changed.

Loves greeting people and being petted so much, wagging his tail. * With Dogs: Gets along very well with any dog. Has good social skills with dogs, so becomes popular when playing with canine friends at the dog park. * Separation Anxiety: Sometimes barks along only when other dogs bark, but the exact details are unknown yet. May need training when the environment changes. * Potty Training: Prefers pottying outdoors rather than indoors. * Hygiene: Is a little afraid of water. Accepts baths nicely when being handled carefully. * Walks: Is an excellent walker and matches his pace with his handler. Loves going for walks and enjoys smelling things while walking. * Likes: Loves people so much that he hops around excitedly and expresses a lot of happiness with them. * Dislikes: Is a bit scared of sudden loud noises. * Tricks: Is a smartie that has mastered "sit down," "wait," and "paw."

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to SEA💟 Meet White🤍 💙 Adogs Update Account: @_adogs_everyday 1⃣ Health Condition * Neutered. * Microchipped, heartworm negative, and dental scaling completed. * Has received dental scaling, but due to significant tooth staining, the teeth don’t appear very clean. One or two canine teeth are slightly chipped, but there is no nerve damage, so no immediate treatment is necessary. 2⃣ Rescue Story * White spent time at a dogslaughter farm in Juksan, where he witnessed his fellow dogs being killed right before his eyes. He lived in constant fear, but when Adogs shut down the farm, he was finally given a second chance at life. 3⃣ Basic Information * With People: Is a bit shy. Approaches to sniff and sticks around familiar people, but runs away if you try to touch him. If you corner him a bit so he can’t run away, he accepts being petted. Is okay with familiar people touching him at any space! You can minimize the time it takes to get closer to him with treats. Although he isn’t yet affectionate with people, he’s in the process of opening his heart and will get close to people quickly once he lives in a family home. * With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs and does not cause issues. Is not particularly interested in approaching new dogs first. Seems to prefer smaller-sized dogs and plays well with familiar companions. * With Cats: It is unclear how he will react as he hasn’t met cats yet. * Separation Anxiety: Not confirmed as he is currently living in a group setting at our center. * Potty Training: Does only outdoor pottying at our center. * Hygiene: Runs away when you try to take care of him but once you catch him and start petting and brushing him, he stays still and enjoys it. * Walks: Gets a bit nervous when walking outside so it’s recommended to take him out to quiet and familiar places. Doesn’t pull on the leash but tends to get stubborn when something scares him. * Car Sickness: Is comfortable with riding in a car without motion sickness. * Doesn’t bite, even defensively. * Rarely barks, but has copied other dogs if they bark when visitors come to the center. * Likes treats so much that he sometimes overpowers his fear of people! * Becomes wary and frightened of unfamiliar people, vehicles, or external stimuli.

Story
Meet Imp! She is lovely girl rescued by our team from High-kill shelter in Korea. She gave birth to his babies in the shelter. Behaviours from the previous foster: She is so gentle that she doesn’t bark at all and doensn’t have any aggressive behaviours. She loves walking and meeting her friends and She loves her hooman so much. She likes to be pat - especially on her butt – and always sleeps besides her hooman. She is doing her job out doors- moving her bowels. She is not a big fan of showering but she seems to bear it- She is so patient. We haven’t found any separation anxieties so far, She seems to be beyond happy when the owners come back home though. She is a little bit timid that she is afraid of some scary noise like vacuum cleaner, plastic bottle and so on. She has so much love in her. Be her loving family and she will be with you and adores you forever. Allergy/health issues: She has motion sickness. So It will help her if you let her doing her job_moving her bowels_ and keep her stomach empty before gettinng a car. *Please send all inquiries to @everlove8282. *Please submit your applications through the application form on our Instagram profile! Our team will carefully consider each of your applications to find the perfect forever homes for our dogs. *As all of our dogs are currently in South Korea, there will be an adoption fee of 700USD + customs fee (if applicable) for each dog. —> all details are on the poster!

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org ✨💗 Meet Amaya — The Sweetheart Who Blossoms Into Pure Sunshine 💗✨ (7 Months • ~35 lbs • Professional Treat Enthusiast) If you’ve been dreaming of a pup who’s equal parts soft, sweet, wiggly, and wonderful, allow us to introduce Amaya — the little lady whose gentle heart is only matched by her love for snacks and with those ears, she'll hear the treat bag 3 rooms away!! Seriously tho… offer her a treat and she will immediately decide you are her forever person. Instant loyalty, zero hesitation. At just 7 months old and around 35 pounds, Amaya is the perfect “just right” size — small enough to scoop up for cuddles, sturdy enough for adventures, and cute enough to make strangers gasp dramatically in public. She’s a tiny bit shy at first meeting (she claims it’s part of her “mysterious heroine” aesthetic), but once she feels safe, she blossoms into the sweetest, silliest, most affectionate girl. Expect tail wags, soft nuzzles, and the occasional “I love you but I’m also trying to climb directly into your sweatshirt” moment. 🌟 Amaya’s Special Skills Include: • Turning treats into friendships (very quickly) • Getting along with everyone — dogs, kids, cats, probably even the mailman • Mastering the dog door like a tiny genius • Being 98% house trained — she’s still young, but she’s nailing it • Crating well while you’re away (she says it’s her “me time”) • Looking adorable 24/7 — it’s a gift Amaya is playful, active, and full of puppy curiosity, but she’s also gentle, sensitive, and has a heart that melts right into yours. She’s the kind of dog who wants to grow and learn alongside her family — someone to show her the world, reassure her during the scary parts, and celebrate the fun ones. She is currently with a neighboring rescue partner — we work together to save as many lives as we can — and we will happily pull her into Hay Dude Rescue to complete her adoption. If you’re looking for a pup who brings sweetness, giggles, loyalty, and just the right amount of goofy puppy chaos… Amaya is your girl. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — this shy little sweetheart is ready to blossom into the happiest version of herself with a family to call her own. 🌸🐾💖

These pups are in Seattle, Washington too!

Story
🌸Meet Pansy – A Precious Mama Looking for Her Forever Home! 🌸 Here are more photos and videos of Pansy: https://www.instagram.com/p/DPM9WucEqSA/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/p/DPmcRnYgSJ-/?hl=en Pansy is the brave mother of Pine. They were rescued together, along with all of her puppies, from a city shelter in Korea where they were on the euthanasia list. At that time, her puppies were only 1–2 months old, and despite her own health struggles, she cared for them with everything she had. Pansy is a special dog, who is deeply loved and cared for by her foster. Pansy is now ready to travel to the Seattle area for her forever home!🌼 Name: Pansy Breed: Jindo Golden Retriever mix Estimated Age: 4 years Gender: Female Weight: 26.5 lbs Spayed/Neutered: Yes Energy Level: Indoors 3/10 Outdoors 7/10 (loves running in open fields where she comes alive!) Foster’s Comments: Pansy is a dog I truly love. If circumstances allowed, I would adopt her myself. She is very sweet but shy, so she needs time to adjust. If pressured, she will not open up, but with patience, she will eventually bond more quickly than she did with me. She may chase birds or cats, so care must be taken outdoors, and continued training to help her overcome her fear of strangers is recommended. Pansy is a gentle mother who cared for her puppies above her own comfort. To me, she has always been precious—not just a foster dog, but a beloved companion. I hope she finds a family who will treat her like a princess, free from fear, and give her the secure, loving home she deserves. She deserves a family who will cherish her as if she were the most special dog in the world. Dogs: Gets along with most dogs, may be startled if approached suddenly. Gets along well with foster’s two dogs. Cats: Chases cats (and birds) Kids: Seems to be afraid of children Wary of men, bonds slowly. Warms up faster to women Potty trained: 100% outdoors, needs walks 3-4 times a day Leash skills: Walks well, loves slow walks. Barking: Haven’t heard her barked: softly whines to go out Separation anxiety: None Mouthiness/Nipping: May nip out of fear if handled suddenly by strangers Behavioral: Still fearful of strangers; may run from unfamiliar men or children during walks. With the help of dog walkers, this has improved a lot but is not yet completely resolved. Personality/Habits: Very shy; dislikes being approached suddenly Favorite Things: Chew toys Ideal Family: Calm household, mostly women, preferably no children, who can provide frequent walks Health notes: Anaplasma: Tested positive, completed medication Parvo: Hospitalized with two puppies for mild Parvo; Pansy was the first to recover and be discharged Pelvic fracture surgery. May look slightly awkward when running, but it does not affect her daily life. Pansy is currently in a single-woman household, with her boyfriend staying over 3–4 days a week. Pansy is very close to her primary caregiver and follows her everywhere, showing a 10/10 bond. With her boyfriend, it took about four months for her to overcome her initial fear, and now she is friendly with him—she allows him to walk, pet, and hold her, showing a 6/10 bond. Pansy is a quiet, gentle, and precious girl who enjoys slow walks but comes alive when running in open spaces. She may be shy at first, but once she feels safe and with patience she blossoms into a deeply affectionate companion. This special, gentle soul is ready to be cherished and loved in her forever home.💗 Pls DM or fill out an adoption application via the link in our bio on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/loveismighty__rescue/?hl=en

Story
🌿Meet Willow - Wildfire Survivor, Once Chained, Now Ready for Love Here are more photos and videos of Willow: https://www.instagram.com/p/DOIE2bsDh-k/?hl=en Willow's story is one of survival and hope. When the devastating wildfires swept through Andong, Gyeongsang Province, South Korea in March, he was found alone-chained and left behind while the flames closed in. By what can only be called a miracle, Willow survived, though the fire left burns on his back as a reminder of what he endured. Like many dogs in rural Korea, Willow had been kept on a chain, not as a family companion, but only to guard his owner's property. He knew little kindness, sleeping outdoors, and living a life of neglect and confinement. Name: Willow Breed: Jindo mix Gender: Male Age: 2 years Gender: Male Weight: 16-17 lbs Spayed/Neutered: Yes Willow was named after the willow tree, which symbolizes resilience, hope, and the strength to bend without breaking. It's the perfect name for a dog who has endured so much yet still greets the world with gentleness. Temperament & Behavior: Dogs: Willow loves other dogs. Before his foster home, he loved playing and having dog friends at the rescue center. His tail wags happily when he meets canine friends. Cats: Seems to be afraid of cats Kids: Older children People: Willow bonds deeply with those who spend the most time with him. He’s especially affectionate with his foster mom and her sister, following them around and showing his playful side. With men and strangers, he may be wary and timid at first, quietly cautious until he warms up. 100% potty trained , needs 3-4 walks a day (30 mins each) Crate trained and sees his crate as a safe, cozy spot Rarely barks — just the occasional soft growl at night noises No separation anxiety; he relaxes when left alone. Greets you you happily when you come home Gentle with his mouth, he may softly hold a hand when very happy, but never nips Loves squeaky toys, playing under blankets, fetch, and tug. Sometimes he resists putting on the leash, but once outside he’s a happy walker, especially when there are new scents to explore. Indoors, he’s calm and relaxed. Outdoors, he’s playful and curious. Willow is a balanced mix of independence and affection. He thrives in a calm, consistent routine. Health Notes: Ears can get moist and itchy. Needs regular cleaning. Burn injuries from the wildfire. Treated successfully. His coat was once dry and damaged from smoke exposure but has improved greatly with care. Ongoing grooming is recommended. Nails are brittle, trimming needs care. Slight cavities and tartar despite daily dental care. Will have a dental scaling before departure History of corrective surgery for angular limb deformity. Now fully recovered and active. Mild bronchial sensitivity. Currently on supplements. Willow’s Ideal Family: Has prior dog experience Can commit to daily walks and playtime Patient, gentle, and ready to let Willow bloom at his own pace Prefers a calm home with adults only. Foster’s comments: Willow is a sweet and gentle boy who, once he opens his heart, shows endless affection. He follows his family around, wagging his tail, and even comforts them if he senses they are unwell. He loves treats, but he loves his people even more. He waits by the door for his family to return, playfully taps with his paw for attention, and brings joy to those around him. We sincerely hope Willow finds a forever family who will cherish him, continue to nurture his gentle soul, and show him a bigger and brighter world filled with love. 💕 This resilient, sweet boy is ready for his forever home! Willow adoption fee is $750, plus $235 for U.S. Customs entry and broker fee.

Story
Meet Aiden, rescued from Korea and a young Jindo pup.  Aiden is a good boy but he is worried at first about meeting new people. He did not have a great start in life and as a result he can be unsure of himself. He is in a wonderful foster home where he is patiently guided to become a little more confident. Aiden will do best with other dogs who are social and confident so that he can learn from their example. He is not suitable for a home with kids or cats.   Aiden is young and has a full life ahead of him. We hope to find him a dedicated person who is willing to continue working with him so that he can live his best life.  Aiden is vaccinated, chipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $395. We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life! To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!
