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
💙 Name: Klein 💙 Gender: Female 💙 Age: Estimated 6 years old (Born in July 2020) 💙 Weight: 9 kg / 19.84 lb 💙 Klein's News Account: @klein___55 1️⃣ Health Condition * Spayed. * Microchipped and heartworm negative. * Diagnosed with a benign sialocele (salivary gland cyst) under her neck. Veterinary evaluation confirmed it requires no special treatment or major concern. 2️⃣ Rescue Story * Klein was originally rescued as a young puppy alongside four siblings from a slaughterhouse in Jeongeup and moved to the local shelter. A year later, when the siblings and Klein were placed on the euthanasia list, Adogs stepped in to urgently rescue all four of them. 3️⃣ Basic Information * People Reaction: Slightly fearful of people, but has high curiosity and affection. Will approach strangers to sniff them, with overall responsiveness continually improving. Still wary of adult men and may hide behind the guardian, but has become comfortable enough with a familiar middle-aged man to run up to him for treats. Greets the guardian with a wagging tail and affection; showed little interest in young children. * ​Dog Reaction: At dog cafés, mostly stays near humans, occasionally visiting liked dogs to sniff them. Dislikes overly pushy or clingy dogs. Dislikes sharing a stroller with another dog, but shows no severe rejection. * ​Cat Reaction: Excitement around cats has decreased significantly, but may still try to chase them during walks, so sudden leash tension requires caution. * ​Separation Anxiety: Showed symptoms of separation anxiety, but is improving. Still tries to open doors or search for the foster caregiver, though can now rest comfortably on the couch alone. May chew on the shoe rack when left alone due to lingering anxiety. * ​Potty Training: Recently started doing indoor pottying. Has a 90% accuracy rate when pads are laid out, though aiming isn't always precise. Strongly prefers outdoor pottying. * ​Grooming & Hygiene: Tolerates baths and brushing well despite not loving them. Runs away from hair dryers, toothbrushes, and nail clippers out of fear, requiring two people to manage. Brushing goes smoothly when held on the floor. Sheds during summer and winter. * ​Walking: Enjoys running and playing, but has an escape instinct and may try to dash out when doors open. Using a double leash (collar + harness) is recommended. Sensitive to heat and tires quickly on summer walks. ​* Motion Sickness: No motion sickness, but gets scared of evening neon signs and lights, seeking comfort in human arms. * ​Biting / Chewing: Has never shown aggression toward people, but tends to chew on electrical cords or wire doors. Once showed a defensive warning nip toward another dog while eating. * ​Barking: Howls after the foster caregiver leaves, and may whine briefly out of joy upon their return. * ​Likes: Chicken breast meat sticks and walks. Loves plush, cozy spots and enjoys chewing hard objects like charger cables or plastic hangers. Likes warmth, enjoys wearing clothes, and sleeps much more comfortably when dressed. * ​Dislikes: Strangers and loud noises. Uncomfortable sitting on cold floors and hesitant to enter dark, narrow kennels or crates. Trembles in fear when seeing people kick balls at dog cafés. * ​Tricks: Commands "Sit" well when treats are involved. * ​Personality: Prefers quiet, comfortable environments and builds trust gradually. Expressiveness, affection, and patience have improved significantly while staying with the foster family.
