Story
Cosmo doesn't know yet if he prefers shaken or stirred but he does know he wants to come home with you. Part Jindo, part Border Collie, Cosmo was rescued along with his sisters from a terrible hoarding situation in Korea and were going to be sent to a meat farm. They are now waiting to board their freedom flight to the US. Cosmo is an adorable black and white spotted boy currently weighing 4kg and about 4 months old. He will probably remain small as his mom was only about 25 lbs. Cosmo is with a foster in South Korea currently and needs a committed adopter or foster in the US before he can board his freedom flight. Can you give this sweet boy a soft spot to land? Apply to foster or adopt today! To see more pictures and videos of our animals check out our IG and TikTok @SamsonsSanctuary Can't adopt but still want to help?

Story
Lovely Olive is a gentle and intuitive dog. She is very tolerant of other dogs and loves to play with her giant foster brother Ben! Olive loves to be pet but is not needy and will happily stay by your side while you work in the house or yard. She can be shy in the big, wide, world, but is getting better and would love a family to help her learn that she is safe and loved.

Story
Please apply at www.welcomepawsrescue.org Location : Korea Adoption inquiries: wds3628@nate.com ▶ (relationship with dogs) : He is very curious about dogs, but he doesn't like to play with the other dogs. ▶ (relationship with cats) : He doesn't have a problem with cats. When the cats run away or hides, he doesn't look for it or chase them. ▶ (relationship with people) : He loves people so much. And he is friendly and good with kids. ▶ (house trained) : Outdoor defecation He urinates while he is taking a walk. He defecates outside the house twice normally. (He never urinates or defecates at home!) ▶ (walks on leash) : He has no resistance to leash. He is very fond of taking a walk. ▶ (special notes) : When a motorcycle catches his eyes, he tries to chase the motorcycle. (I'm teaching about it that’s why he tries not to follow the motorcycle.) He has a joint problem. Sometimes it seems hard for him to run for a long time. He likes people so much that he wants to get attentions that’s why he approaches people actively. He jumps when he greets people. But, He is often not favorable to other dogs. When the other dog shows little bit of aggressiveness then Deok Bae takes an attacking stance or barks. He is sensitive to the sounds like TV and so on that’s why he sometimes whines.
