Story
Current Location: Korea 🇰🇷 ♡ 🧡 Meet Ma-eum A gentle soul learning to love again Ma-eum spent his early years tied outside on a farm, living in fear. He was abused by a male owner and frightened by children who threw balls at him. Because of that, he is still afraid of men, loud playground sounds, and the sight of bouncing toys. But despite all this, Ma-eum has the gentlest heart. For the past two years, he has been living in a patient and loving foster home. He has made slow, steady progress — on his terms — and is now ready for the next chapter of his life. 🧬 Personality Ma-eum is a quiet, thoughtful boy with a soft energy. He feels safest around gentle women with warm voices, and he truly thrives in calm, peaceful homes. He may keep his distance from men indoors, but sometimes shows more courage when outdoors. He isn’t the kind of dog who will run into your arms — but with time and patience, he’ll follow you anywhere. He enjoys peaceful walks, nosework games, gentle pets, and long naps by your side. He doesn't bark much, and he waits quietly when left alone after a short adjustment. 🏡 At Home ✅ House-trained (prefers peeing on vertical surfaces — his foster can provide wall-to-floor pads) ✅ Good with calm dogs (interested and social but may growl at overly excited dogs) ✅ Neutral to cats (no strong prey drive) ✅ Tolerates children (nervous around fast movements but never aggressive) ✅ Excellent in the car ✅ Loves brushing and gentle touch 🚫 Afraid of balls and squeaky toys — he prefers games with treats instead 💛 Ma-eum is looking for… A family who will let him set the pace. Someone who doesn’t expect instant cuddles but understands how meaningful it is when a shy dog chooses to stay close. Ideally, a female adopter or a quiet household with gentle energy. 📦 Foster home can provide pee pad setup 📍 Adoption includes interview & home check 📩 If Ma-eum’s story touched your heart, we’d love to tell you more. He’s been waiting a long time for someone who sees past the fear — and into his true, beautiful heart

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog Adoption:6Ginkgo – The Bright, Bouncy Brainiac with Double Dew Claws Meet Ginkgo, a 2-year-old Border Collie mix with double dew claws, a brilliant mind, and a whole lot of joyful enthusiasm packed into his 66-pound frame. He’s energetic, playful, and entertaining, bringing fun wherever he goes. Lively and curious: Ginkgo starts off bouncy and eager. He loves sniffing, and happily trots over for treats, which he takes gently. Playful and silly: He entertains himself by sprinting around with a toy, tossing in joyful hops. Smart and trainable: He responds well to ‘sit’ and is perfecting ‘down’.  Affectionate: As he settles, he leans in for pets, and even weaves between legs in his goofy, loving way. Still learning manners: He’s honing his leash manners and “four on the floor”, which he’s proud of his amazing progress. Ginkgo has attended doggie playgroup and would thrive with a well-matched canine buddy or as a solo dog. He’s ready for someone who appreciates both his spark and his sweetness.December 25, 2025, 1:44 pm

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog I:4Lakeshore is a 1-year-old, 35-pound border collie mix with the best windswept rabbit ears you’ve ever seen—always perked, always listening, and always ready for fun. This sweet, friendly puppy is curious, affectionate, and happiest when he’s right by your side giving kisses or bouncing up for attention. This high-energy, enthusiastic youngster arrived with very little training, but thanks to those giant ears and his naturally responsive nature, he learns quickly. Lakeshore already knows a great “sit,” and even an impressive sit-and-wait! He’s still working through typical puppy habits like jumping up and getting a little mouthy during treat time, so he’ll thrive with adopters ready to guide him through his teen-pup manners. Lakeshore is playful and vocal with other dogs, and enjoys chase games. He’d do best with well-matched dog friends or as a solo dog with dog buddies to meet. With his big personality, Lakeshore is ready to be someone’s joyful, goofy, love-soaked companion.December 21, 2025, 1:26 pm

Story
Meet Kismet – A Resilient and Loving Companion Looking for Her Forever Home Kismet is a stunning 1-2-year-old Australian Cattle Dog with a heart as big as her beautiful personality. She also happens to be deaf, but that doesn’t slow her down one bit! This sweet girl found herself in a crowded Central Valley shelter, on the verge of giving birth. Perhaps being deaf was a small blessing in such a loud and overwhelming place—but it was still a frightening experience for her. Thankfully, Lucky Dog Rescue stepped in, and Kismet was whisked away to a loving foster home where she could safely raise her newborn puppies. Kismet was a wonderful, devoted mom, and now that all her puppies have found their forever homes, it’s finally her turn. Kismet is great with other dogs. She enjoys playing with the younger dogs in her foster home and is respectful of the senior dog. She’s housebroken, has mastered the dog door, and sleeps quietly in her crate at night. Like many young dogs, she can be a bit mischievous—she’s been known to chew on things she shouldn’t—but she’s learning to redirect her energy toward appropriate chew toys. On leash, Kismet walks well but can be a little cautious in new environments. She’s shy when meeting new people and needs time to warm up, but with patience and kindness, she blossoms into a loving, affectionate companion. Once she trusts you, she’ll shower you with cuddles—yes, Kismet is a snuggler! Highly food-motivated, Kismet knows “sit” and is learning additional hand-signal commands. With continued training and love, she’ll thrive in a patient and understanding home. Are you the one who will give Kismet the forever home she deserves? If you’re interested in adopting Kismet, please complete our adoption application at 1luckydogrescue.org or email Sue, dogs@s2springer.com.
