MEET LEO! Leo is a sweet, shy and gentle 3-year-old Basenji-Chihuahua mix in need of a forever home. He's currently in a foster home in Edmonds, Wash. He's a bit bigger boy, weighing about 20-25 lbs. Leo was originally rescued from a crowded California shelter, and quickly adjusted to a better life! He is a bit shy at first, but warms up quickly. He's actually afraid of kids, so would do best in an adult-only home. Please email for an application.

Story
**He is currently in Seattle** Mukgoo is about 5 years old. He was found near an army base in Korea and immigrated to America around the age of 1 on President’s Day of 2020. He is an incredibly smart and lovable dog. He is kind and loves people (loves dogs and people). He will eat almost anything (except veggies). He can be a jumper when he gets very excited. He prefers households with another dog and a big yard to run around in but it’s not a non-negotiable. He has always adjusted well to whatever the circumstance. Overall, he’s a good dog and he’s got a lot of love to give. I’m having to give him up due to being unable to raise him in my current life stage. In no way, this is due to any bad behaviors or anything. He’s a really kind-hearted and sweet dog. Likes - He loves playing fetch (quickest way to his heart), rolling in the grass, puppycinos, ice cream, snow, people, dogs - Historically has liked lamb, fish skin, salmon, bully sticks, dental sticks, sweet potato, etc. In general, he loves to eat~ - Very social and prefers to greet other dogs and people, including dog parks, doggy day cares Dislikes - He dislikes bath but who does - He doesn’t like being alone but can manage a few hours if needed - No longer is a fan of veggies - Fireworks and big noises Things to Watch out for - Throwing up: If you let him freely eat grass, he’ll throw up. When he feels stressed, he can react by throwing up. - He can be independent when he is fixated on things. Just be patient with him and he will come back to focus on you. He is a people pleaser. - He rarely barks. He may bark when other dogs bark but even that is rare. He is more of a whiner. If he needs to let you know something, he will whine. - Not a counter surfer but can be if you let him Commands He knows his basic commands (sit, down, hand, etc.) and is open to learning new ones as well. Potty He is used to peeing and pooing outside. Once you create a regular spot and time for him, it’s clockwork. Otherwise, just be aware when he whines that it may be time to go. - At a high level, he knows “go potty” and “go poo” as a sign to go to the bathroom - He will rarely go pee or poo inside the home. Once in a million tries, a thing like that can happen during the night but he’s really sorry when he does. Leash He has never been fully off-leash, only in areas that condone it (home, backyard, dog park, etc.). He is not one to go off-leash and run away. He’ll run around and try to have you play with him. Keep him on a short leash if you need to focus on walking as he can veer away due to his interest in sniffing. Once on a short leash, he’ll understand and walk along. However, give him time to sniff as he is very curious with smells. Sleep He can sleep together or on his own if you’re in a different room or floor. He is also loves to cuddle up as well. When there’s fireworks, it’s recommended you sleep where he sees you because he’s afraid of the loud sounds. Food He is on one meal a day. If you give him two meals a day, he may not eat the first meal. Snacks though he loves. He knows how to sit and wait for food. He is currently on Costco’s salmon and sweet potato meal.

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!

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to Vancouver & Toronto💟 Meet Hyunmi💕 (It means brown rice in Korean) * With People: Is friendly with people, but is a little shy! Will wag his tail in greeting, but is surprised if you try to touch him too quickly. When you pick him up, he's happy to be picked up, and he'll sit back and relax with his tail wagging. Recently, he’s become more comfortable with human touch. Shows his belly when people approach or pet him. * With Dogs: Is a scaredy-cat so he stares at new dogs at a distance rather than approaching them. Gets along well with familiar dogs and loves to lie down and play with his close friends! Plays rambunctiously with his foster sibling. * Separation Anxiety: Is good at being alone, and time flies by when he’s with other dog friends. Is awkward if left alone with new people, but accepts treats and rests. * Potty Training: He mostly goes outdoors, but when he does go indoors, he uses the toilet rather than a pad. * Hygiene: Takes both baths and grooming very well. * Walks: Is good at walking with his guardian and other dogs. Is practicing basic commands such as ‘wait’ and ‘come.’ He sometimes gets stiff and stops when cars and motorcycles pass by on walks alone, so just pick him up and move him somewhere else and he's good to go again! * Car sickness: Doesn't have a big problem with short car rides! 💟 Special Notes💟 * Has mastered "sit," "lie down," "wait," and "turn around." * Is somewhat timid and may squeal when startled by rough play. Is afraid of sudden loud noises. Foster's IG : @adogs_hyunme

Story
Quick Facts Name: Netu  Age: 1.5 years old (born September 2023)   Gender: Male Neutered/Sprayed: Yes Breed: Jindo Mix  Color: White Weight: 13kg   All About Me Hi, I’m Netu! I’m a one-and-a-half-year-old Jindo mix with a sleek white coat and a gentle, observant nature. Weighing 13kg (28.6lb), I may be a little shy at first, but with patience and kindness, I open up into a trusting and affectionate companion. I’m looking for a home that understands my need for a little extra time to build confidence and feel safe.   My Personality I can be a bit reserved around new people, especially in large open spaces where I feel uncertain. If you try to approach me too quickly, I might move away at first. However, if we spend time together in a smaller, enclosed area, I start to relax and accept gentle pets. I’ll even let you touch my face and pick me up without any fuss. Although I may seem cautious, I don’t have any aggressive tendencies—I’ve never shown any signs of biting or snapping, even when people touch my mouth or face. I just need gentle reassurance and time to get used to human touch.   Social Skills With other dogs, I’m friendly and enjoy social interactions. I like greeting new dogs and generally get along well with those my size or larger. High-energy dogs can sometimes overwhelm me, so I prefer calm, balanced playmates. I haven’t met cats before, so my reaction to them is unknown.   Energy and Activities I have a moderate to high energy level. I enjoy outdoor activities and exploring new environments, but I also know how to relax once I’ve had enough exercise. During walks, I get excited and may pull on the leash a little, but I follow my person’s lead well and am eager to learn better walking manners.   Training and Habits I’m still learning to fully trust human touch, but I’ve already made great progress. I don’t guard my food or toys, whether from people or other dogs. I rarely bark, so I won’t be a noisy presence in the home. I am house-trained and can use both pee pads and outdoor areas for bathroom breaks. I also settle well in a kennel when needed.   My Ideal Home I need a patient and understanding adopter who will give me time to adjust and build confidence. Since I can be cautious in new environments, a quiet and structured home would be best for me. If you’re willing to move at my pace and help me experience positive interactions, I will reward you with my trust and loyalty. If there are other dogs in my home, they should be friendly and calm, as I do best with patient canine companions. My future family should be committed to helping me experience new things at a comfortable pace so that I can become the confident and affectionate dog I’m meant to be.   Special Notes I am a sweet and sensitive dog who needs time to feel safe. Once I trust someone, I show how affectionate and gentle I truly am. If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion who just needs a little extra patience to blossom, I might be the perfect match for you. I can’t wait to find my forever home!   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIsLTtIpe3JzzVBwHfunXdf04oapymPR2&si=8lgNk6X0eKu-xnIH ##2314539##

Quick Facts  Name: Ttosok Age: 3 years old Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Mini Jindo Mix Color: Brown Weight: 8 kg All About MeHello there! I’m Ttosok, a little bundle of joy with a lively spirit and a love for all things fun. My story began at a gas station where I was a familiar face to many, but after the station closed, I found myself on a new path. A kind person stepped in to bring me to safety, and now, here I am, ready to find my forever home! Social SkillsI’m a social guy who loves meeting people, whether it’s the first time or the fiftieth! I’ll happily approach for a gentle pat, and yes, you can even pick me up—I’m quite the cuddle enthusiast. Men, women, I love them all and I can’t wait to charm my way into your heart. While I adore people, I’m a bit choosy when it comes to other dogs. I have a funny habit of putting on a tough act if another dog gets a little too close—no fighting, just some impressive (and admittedly adorable) lip curling to make sure they know I like my space. I’m happiest in a home where I can be your one and only. Energy and ActivitiesI have a moderate energy level, so outdoor activities are just my style! I enjoy my walks, though sometimes I get a little excited and pull on the leash. My preferred walking style? Going at my own pace, sniffing here and there, and maybe a little zigzag if something interesting catches my eye. If you’re up for some fun outdoor time, I think we’ll be a perfect match. Training and HabitsAt home, I’m pretty easygoing. I’m comfortable with both indoor pads and outdoor potty breaks, and though I’m not one to bark often, I might let out a little sound of excitement when I’m happy. I don’t guard my food from people, though I might give a little growl if a dog comes close while I’m eating. In new places, I might mark once or twice, but I’ll settle in quickly. I’m also a bit hesitant about cars, so a little boost from you would be just perfect when it’s travel time. Special NotesIn short, I’m a fun-loving, spirited little guy with a heart that’s big and ready to overflow with love for the perfect family. I might have a dash of sass with other dogs and a mind of my own on walks, but that’s just part of my charm! I’m looking for a family who adores my quirky personality, who’s up for a bit of adventure, and who’ll give me endless cuddles and laughs. Could that be you? I’m dreaming of the day I get to meet my forever family and bring a sparkle of joy, a wagging tail, and a whole lot of love into your life!   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIsLTtIpe3JyzCpGx_KKK5vuLu-GccHXX ##2260995##

Quick Facts  Name: Darcy Age: 6 years old  Gender: Male Neutered/Spayed: Yes Breed: Jindo Mix Color: White & Tan  Weight: 13.5kg   All About MeHi there! My name is Darcy, and I’m a 6-year-old Jindo mix with a lovely tan and white coat. I weigh 13.5 kg, just the right size for some cozy cuddles (once I get to know you, of course)!I was rescued from a scary place just in time. They called me a coward, but I think I’m just cautious. I need a bit of time to trust new people, but once I do, I’m all in!   My PersonalityWhen I first meet someone new, I might be a bit shy. Give me 3 days to a week, and you’ll see my friendly side. I generally like women but can be a bit afraid of men. I love hanging out with dogs my size and feel much more secure when they’re around. I haven’t met any cats yet, so I’m not sure how I’d react to them.   Energy and ActivitiesI enjoy outdoor adventures and have a normal energy level. After a good play session outside, I love to rest quietly. I might pull on the leash a bit, but I do follow along well. I’m not protective of my food and hardly ever bark. I prefer to do my business outside and might mark my territory in new places.   Training and HabitsI don’t let my guard down easily, so it might take some time before you can pet me. But if you have snacks, I’ll come sniffing around! I rely a lot on other dogs and love saying hi to them. At the shelter, I’m the first to greet the volunteers and workers for treats.   My Ideal HomeI know my social skills need a bit of work, and my adoption might seem challenging, but I’m worth it! If you’re interested, I could go to a training center and foster home to help me get ready for my new family.Are you the patient and loving person I’ve been waiting for?
