Story
Hey there, my name is Sawyer and I am the most adorable baby boy pup you will ever meet! I am very friendly and love to show affection to people I meet, whether that's through lots of wet kisses or just simple cuddles. Be careful though, you might find that you're falling in love with me! I am also very playful and love to play with just about anything and everything. It is likely that I will play with your socks, shoes, and kids if they are available. As I am still just a baby, I am looking for a family that can show me the ways of the world and help me grow into the best doggo I can be. I am very eager to please, so I will be sure to listen carefully to all of your instructions. Even though I can be a bit boisterous at times, I promise to be a very good boy if you take me under your wing. If you're interested in adopting a fun, friendly, and furry friend like me, please come and visit me today! Text text my Foster mom at 310-930-4409

Story
Hi! My name is Mickey, and I am IN SOUTH KOREA waiting to be matched to a home in Los Angeles! I was rescued from the dog meat trade in South Korea by the DoVE Project. My fate would have been to live in fear and distress, watching dogs being led to slaughter for human consumption. DoVE Project heard about me, and now I am looking for my forever family! ID/NAME: DV23-005 / Mickey SEX/WEIGHT/AGE: Male / 21 lbs / 2 yrs BIRTH DATE: July 1, 2021 BREED: Spitz mix VACCINATIONS/SPAY/NEUTER/HEALTH: Vaccinations complete. Neutered. Healthy. BEHAVIOR: Mickey is a charming pup with an outgoing and positive personality. He loves being around people and also enjoys playing with other dogs. Mickey is doing well learning to walk on a leash. SIBLINGS/FAMILY: Eileen, Rosanna BACKGROUND: Mickey was rescued from a slaughterhouse in Yangpyeong in July 2023. ABOUT OUR DOGS DoVE dogs come from a traumatic background such as dog meat farms and slaughterhouses. While many of our dogs acclimate within a few months with consistency, structure, and patience, some of our more sensitive dogs can take longer to rehabilitate. It's important to note that these sensitive dogs are even more attuned to human emotions and behavior, making for a deeper connection human-dog connection. DoVE Project is committed to helping our adopters desensitize and socialize our dog meat trade survivors. ********************************* DoVE Project operates a shelter in South Korea, where our dogs stay until they are matched with an adopter. In the US, our dogs stay in foster homes or in boarding, as we do not have a physical facility. These dogs are identified with "in LA" in their names.

Story
Little Rupert originally came to us shut down and stressed out from the shelter environment. He was also quite weary of humans. However, in just a short period of time, he has beautifully blossomed in his foster home and continues to come out of his shell more and more every day! He absolutely loves getting affection and attention and he’s recently started playing with toys and learning tricks. Rupert is only 2 years old and has got some of the most flirty eyes we’ve ever seen! He is sensitive and soulful and sweet natured. We are smitten with this boy. He would do best in a calm household with adults- older children would be okay. He also does well with balanced, confident dogs. We are excited to find Rupert his forever home.

Story
This handsome little boy is Nelson! Nelson is our 4 month old, male, Border Terrier, Chihuahua mix puppy that is looking for his forever home. Nelson was born in November along with his sister and brother to Mama Lucy who we rescued with two other dogs that were seen being thrown from a car window and abandoned. Soon after being rescued, we realized that Mama Lucy was pregnant and she gave birth shortly after. Nelson is the confident puppy of the bunch who is like the leader. He is a rough and tumble little guy who who loves to play! He does need another young, small breed, very playful dog in the home or he can be adopted with his sister Nellie (brown/white). We don't adopt out our puppies as "only" dogs. Nelson would love a home with a safe and secure yard to run around in and owner that are not gone long hours during the day would be ideal. Nelson is such a fun and loving little guy and deserves the best home out there! Nelson is microchipped, vaccinated, and will be neutered at the appropriate age. We only adopt in the Greater Los Angeles Areas as an in person meet/greet, home check, and trial period. Nelson's adoption fee is $600

Lee Lee was rescued by our friends at HOPE FOR PAWS when she was very pregnant. She gave birth to 4 puppies and 2 did not survive. The other 2 have been adopted. Poor girl was just a young pup herself. She’s great with other animals and people of all ages. She is playful but not hyper. She is extremely loyal and would love nothing more than to be stuck to your side. We are totally guessing her mix. She’s short, wide and a bit scruffy. 100% adorable!

Story
Sweet, quiet Denise was found alone in central California, and found her way to The REAL Bark via the local Tulare shelter. She is a wonderful gal, all of her 6.5 lbs of sweetness, and 12 years young - a very polite, demure, quiet girl who is very friendly with new people, loves snuggles, and is ready to be someone's always companion. Her soulful eyes tell you how she has had a rough start but is forgiving and ready to find her forever home where she will be loved and give loads of love back. She would do best in a home with a little secure yard for her little pee breaks. Might you be the one to provide her future home? Calm (older) children in the home would be fine. Please note that we are currently set up to adopt within the Los Angeles county area.
