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.

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##

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. The shelter environment was extremely harsh for such a young and small dog to endure. Despite the difficult conditions, Hoki never lost her trust in people. She had become very thin, so Adogs urgently rescued her. 3. Basic Information * With people: Is not shy around people and accepts calmly cuddles even in the arms of someone she has just met. Is a very gentle and easygoing dog who makes good eye contact and enjoys physical affection. * With dogs: Gets along well with the other dogs at our center. Rather than actively seeking out other dogs, she prefers to quietly rest on her own. However, when another dog approaches her to play, she happily responds. * With cats: Has not met any cats yet. * Separation anxiety: Is difficult to assess because she is currently living in a group setting at our center. May need to receive new training after moving to a new environment. * Potty training: Uses a pee pad indoors without accidents. May need to be retrained after moving to a new environment. * Hygiene: Loves being brushed—she really seems to enjoy the feeling and sits so nicely for it. * Walks: Walks well without pulling on the leash. * Car Sickness: Has thrown up before while traveling in a car. * Has never shown any biting or nipping behavior. * Has not shown nuisance barking, whining, or similar vocalization. * Is calm and gentle.

✅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 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!

Story
Meet Songi! - CURRENTLY IN NEW YORK!!!   Name: Songi Age: 5 years old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Jindo Mix Color: White Weight: 23 kg (50.7 lbs) — currently a little overweight with a slightly short-legged build   Rescued from a municipal shelter euthanasia list   Songi is the definition of a true lady.   She may approach new people slowly at first, taking time to sniff and assess the situation, but she is never unfriendly. In fact, she will happily accept treats from strangers and can be gently petted even during first meetings. Once she feels comfortable, her sweet and affectionate personality shines through.   She isn’t overly demanding of attention, but before you know it, you’ll find her quietly sitting beside you, waiting for gentle pets and companionship.   Personality & Temperament   Gentle and polite with people Can be picked up comfortably by supporting her belly Has not been tested with children under 13 Rarely barks Does not guard food from people or other dogs House-trained and generally prefers outdoor potty breaks   Dog Social Skills   Songi gets along beautifully with other dogs and has wonderful canine manners.   She enjoys greeting new dogs and coexisting peacefully but isn’t particularly interested in roughhousing or wrestling. If another dog becomes overly pushy, she may give a brief growl—not as aggression, but simply to say, “That’s enough, please.” It’s a polite communication signal and she has never shown interest in escalating conflicts.   Friendly with large dogs Friendly with medium-sized dogs Friendly with small dogs Lives peacefully with other dogs Tends to avoid conflict even when challenged Prefers calmer dog friends and can feel overwhelmed by very high-energy dogs Gentle with a cat   Walking & Activity   Songi absolutely loves walks!   She walks beautifully on leash, stays close to her handler, and does not pull. Even when she sees birds or cats, she usually just watches them without chasing or lunging.   She enjoys outdoor activities but has a moderate energy level and is happy to relax quietly after exercise.   Car Rides   Songi doesn’t quite understand how to jump into a car yet, so she appreciates a little help getting in. Once inside, however, she sits calmly and rides beautifully. She has completed a 40-minute car ride without any signs of motion sickness.   Smart & Food-Motivated   Songi loves treats and food, which makes her a wonderful candidate for positive reinforcement training.   Although she hasn’t formally learned commands such as “sit,” she will often offer a sit on her own when she sees a treat in your hand. She’s eager to learn and enjoys working with people.   One of her sweetest qualities is her willingness to share. Despite loving food, she doesn’t argue with other dogs over treats and has a naturally gentle nature.   A Special Note   Songi does carry one small fear.   When people are holding objects, she sometimes hesitates to approach and may move away. We don’t know her full past, but it may be connected to unpleasant experiences before her rescue. Despite this, she continues to trust people, accepts affection, and genuinely wants to be close to her humans.   Her resilience, grace, and gentle heart make her truly special.   If you’re looking for a calm, polite, affectionate companion who will quietly become your shadow, Songi may be the perfect match.
