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.

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to U.S. and Canada💟 💙 Name: Hoki 💙 Gender: Female 💙 Age: Estimated 2 years old (Born in September 2024) 💙 Weight: 5.7 kg / 12.6 lb 💙 Adogs News Account: @_adogs_ 1. 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. Has a sweet, mild temperament and is very friendly toward people.

Story
✅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.

Story
Meet Nala – A Loyal Heart Waiting for Her Person Nala is a beautiful Basenji/Black Mouth Cur mix with an athletic spirit, a contagious smile, and ears that are impossible not to love. At 5 years old and 50 pounds, she's the perfect combination of playful energy and devoted companionship. While Nala enjoys playing hard, chasing toys, and exploring outdoors, she also appreciates having a safe place to relax and recharge. She's happiest when she has an active family that will include her in everyday adventures. Because of her past, Nala is cautious when meeting new people and needs a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. She isn't the kind of dog who instantly loves everyone she meets. Instead, she forms deep, lasting bonds with her people, and once you've earned her trust, you'll have a fiercely loyal best friend for life. Nala gets along well with other dogs when introductions are done properly, but she does have some resource guarding with food and toys around other dogs. She does not resource guard these items with people. She would do best with an experienced owner who can manage mealtimes and high-value items appropriately, or as the only dog where she can soak up all the attention herself. If you're looking for a devoted companion who will reward your patience with unwavering love and loyalty, Nala is ready to begin her next chapter. She's waiting for someone willing to see past her cautious first impression and discover the incredible dog she truly is. Nala is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and current on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. She is also potty trained and kennel trained, settling quietly in her crate after a fun-filled day. She is being fostered in a home in Seguin, TX and is available for adoption in Texas only.
