Story
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
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
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.

✅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!

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##

❤️Meet Sweet And Gentle Lisa— Once a Chained-Dog, Now Ready For Her Happy Beginnings! Here are more photos and videos of Lisa: https://www.instagram.com/p/Dc4xrlvBJzZ/?hl=en Look at her expressive ears!🥰 Lisa is an absolute sweetheart!💖 Lisa was rescued from a life as an outside chained-dog at a fish farm in Sinan, South Korea. Even as a puppy, she was left alone on a chain in an isolated area.💔 At first, Lisa was very afraid of people. However, she is learning how to live comfortably with people with her foster family. She has adapted much faster than expected. She is now comfortable around her foster family and even cautiously approaches unfamiliar people to sniff and get to know them. She also learned to respond to her name, Lisa, and come when called in only one day! She is doing very well and continues to gain confidence every day.☺️ Name: Lisa Estimated Age: 7 months Gender: F Weight: 18.7 lb Spayed: Yes Lisa is a very sweet and calm dog who enjoys going for walks, exploring, and trips with her family: parks, swimming, and adventures. She’s is generally mellow at home and likes to quietly explore her surroundings. When she meets a dog she likes, she enjoys playing with them. She can get very playful and energetic with the right dog friend.😊 Good with Dogs? Gets along very well with other dogs. She has never shown aggression or barking toward other dogs and calmly greets unfamiliar dogs. When she likes another dog, she will actively invite them to play. Good with Kids? Older, calm children. She can become frightened if a child suddenly runs toward her or tries to pick her up before she feels comfortable. Sociability with People: Lisa bonded with her foster family within just one day and is very responsive to people. She is a people oriented dog who enjoys following and interacting with her person. Once she feels safe and familiar with someone, she becomes very affectionate. She will roll over for belly rubs and give kisses. She is nervous around strangers at first, but she warms up quickly. When first meeting Women:Generally more comfortable approaching women and follows them. If given time to sniff first and decide that someone is safe, she accepts gentle petting. Men: Slightly shy at first, but adjusts quickly. Lisa is most attached to her foster mom and follows her closely. She especially loves giving kisses and enjoys being held and snuggled once she is comfortable with someone. Potty Trained? Yes. Outdoor potty trained. Good on Leash? Yes. Lisa currently gets 3-4 walks a day. She potties easily during walks. When she finds a suitable spot, she tends to put her nose to the ground and sniff carefully before going. Barker? No. Lisa is generally a quiet dog. Separation Anxiety? No. Mouthiness / Nipping? If an unfamiliar person tries to touch her too quickly, Lisa may briefly react defensively by making a quick air snap with her mouth. However, when someone approaches her slowly and gives her time to sniff first, she accepts gentle touch and does not resist. She loves tasty treats, which can help her feel more comfortable with new people. Lisa is afraid of bicycles and electric scooters when they pass by quickly. However, once she realizes they are not going to hurt her, she calms down. *Please note: Lisa experiences motion sickness during car rides. She should not be fed before traveling as she may vomit repeatedly in the car. When traveling on an empty stomach, she generally only drools rather than vomiting. *She's getting better at it lately as there have been times when she doesn't get car sick. Health Notes: No known health issues. Lisa is generally only shy during her first day in a new environment and becomes comfortable with people very quickly. Once she knows someone, she loves being held and cuddled. With anyone new, it is best to wait until she becomes comfortable before picking her up. At first, she prefers gentle petting on her head or having her chest gently scratched. Lisa is not particularly interested in toys. She especially likes things such as tissues that she can easily tear with her mouth, so these should be kept out of reach. 🏡💖Ideal Family and Home: Lisa would be a good match for a family that enjoys walks, going to parks, and outdoor adventures with their dog. A family that also enjoys quiet times at home as she is calm and well behaved indoors. Lisa enjoys going to parks, swimming, and exploring nature. Lisa is very sweet, gentle, affectionate, and generally easygoing. From Lisa’s foster: Even after spending just one day with Lisa, it becomes clear that she is a dog who quickly becomes attached to the person who feeds her, walks her, and takes care of her. She is incredibly affectionate toward her person and loves giving kisses. She has lots of affection to give and often looks deeply into her person’s eyes. She bonds very well, building a strong connection and communication. Lisa is an easygoing dog without any significant behavioral problems. She is affectionate, loves following her person around, and seems remarkably good at reading and responding to her person’s emotions. Lisa's adoption fee is $750, plus $245 US customs entry and broker fee. For adoption inquiries please email us or fill out the adoption application via the link in our Instagram bio.🌼
