Story
Meet a timid lady Bombom🩷(bom 봄 means spring in Korean) Even though she is still wary of people, she is getting better little by little. Bombom is learning to get adapted to spending time with her foster and foster family inside the house. She has not tried to walk outside yet. *Separation anxiety: A home camera was installed in the house to see Bombom when the foster family went outside, and Bombom she was waiting and missing her foster family. *Potty-training: Bombom mostly stays indoors and can perfectly go in the center of the potty pad!💯 * Energy Level (1~10): Level 2 * Socialization -People: Curious about people but still scared. When her fam approach her, she tends to step backward. Still gets nervous and flinches when someone tries to touch her but doesn’t move away from her spot. She’ll take treats if her family is holding them. Once in a while, she approaches her foster and the family first! She can get nervous and tremble if she makes eye contact with human strangers. She moves away when someone suddenly comes at her. -Dogs: She gets along with the foster's dog. *She's still scared of Bombom’s surroundings and everything in the world. To protect herself, she “growls” but doesn’t show other aggressive behavior. When Bombom learns to build up trusting relationships with people and there are more enjoyable things than scary things in the world, it will be a great help for her to adapt to a new environment! *Bark: Doesn’t bark at all. *Is possible to bathe her but Bombom is still scared and uncomfortable with bathing and tries to move away. *Foster's Instagram: @happydog_world

Story
✅Currently fostered in South Korea✅️ Meet Chris💜 Chris and Mas came into Korean city shelter wet from the rain, having been picked up by the fire department. They seemed to rely on each other as if they had lived together. Chris and Mas came into the shelter wearing red and green collars, so they were named Chris and Mas, reminiscent of Christmas!😊 - Separation anxiety: None at all! - House training: Prefers outdoor elimination! In the process of transitioning, there might be some accidents indoors. - Energy level (1~10): Level 4 - Plays well with dog friends!

If given time, quickly becomes affectionate and enjoys being petted 🥰​ - Slightly uneasy in crowded places like elevators, but manages well on their own! - Has a lively and playful nature, enjoys playing with toys on their own 😄​​ - A bit fearful, reacts to small noises by perking up ears. Has bright, alert eyes. - Can be afraid of being picked up, but no more accidents. - Particularly dislikes electric noises like hairdryers and clippers. - Eats well but prefers meaty treats over regular food sometimes. - Doesn't bark unnecessarily! - Bathing and trimming fur can be a bit challenging, but tooth brushing is managed very well! - May experience motion sickness on journeys longer than 30 minutes, resulting in vomiting. - Sheds quite a bit during shedding season. - Has mastered the "sit" command! - Likes: Chicken treats, fleece blankets, and being around friends.

Story
Meet Mas🩵 Mas came to Korean city shelter completely soaked with a similar looking dog called Chris. They seemed to rely on each other, as if they were from the same home. They came to the shelter each wearing a red and green collar, hence the name Chris and Mas!😊 Please help Chris and Mas so that they can spend this year’s Christmas happily with a furever, loving family!! * Separation anxiety: Can have a slight separation anxiety in unfamiliar places but once he adapts, he has none! *Potty training: Prefers outdoor potty breaks. Achieves a 100% accuracy for indoor potty training. * Keywords: #Scaryrabit #Loves to eat #Socialbutterfly * Energy level(1~10): Lv. 6 *A social butterfly who can get along with other doggy friends with no problem! Mas is the most popular pup in any place including dog café.🥰 *Can get slightly scared of strangers. If someone touches him abruptly, he can make a potty mistake so please try to approach him slowly! However, Mas who missed a human touch can gladly express that he welcomes a person with his timid, careful demeanor. If someone comes at him in a slow manner, you will see lovely Mas who lies down and shows off his belly! *Once he gets acquainted, Mas can become a lovebug. He likes young children. He can get scared easily but tries to carefully approach and sniff at children! *An energetic pup with an outgoing and bright personality but can rest well in his crate when he wants to be rested. *A mild-tempered pup who loves to eat and doesn’t try to nip even after someone lifts him. *Bark: Completely silent, no barking at all. Shows no reaction to household noises. *Can walk well on a leash without pulling the leash. *Is still scared of bathing and his toenails to be trimmed but can tolerate. He is particularly scared of a clipper sound. *Has some shedding. *Mastered “Sit” and is learning “Paw” now.😊 *Favorites: Food, sniffing mat toy, walking outside. 💙 Foster's Instagram 👉 @imbo_mas 💙 Health issues : * Currently taking medication for suspected fungal infection on the skin. * Shows mild symptoms of patellar luxation in the right hind leg.

Story
Meet Victor💜 She was rescued by an ADOGS volunteer, found tied with a tight collar in a pebble field. Upon rescue, she appeared frightened, surrounded by accumulated food, but quickly warmed up, showing signs of relief and wagging her tail. * Separation Anxiety: Still quite anxious when left alone for extended periods, resulting in whining and occasionally tearing wallpaper or mats 😭 * Housebroken: Indoors, she's a smart girl who consistently uses the designated potty pad 😊 * With calm friends, she slowly greets by sniffing, but for those who approach aggressively, she expresses with a growl. * Prefers greeting one friend at a time rather than meeting many dogs simultaneously. * Absolutely loves people! During greetings, she lies down and eagerly leans on people, seeking cuddles all over 🥰 * Extensively affectionate towards strangers outdoors, but indoors with unfamiliar faces, she's initially a bit apprehensive. Once familiar, she becomes an adorable sweetheart! * Initially pulls on the leash during walks but gradually syncs pace. Tends to chase after cats, so caution is necessary. * Rarely barks! When unfamiliar people enter the house, she quietly 'woofs' (who's there!) without continuous barking. * Has no issues with car rides! 😊 * Enjoys baths! 🫧 Loves it when thoroughly scrubbed during shampooing. * Loves eating, making training possible with kibble! * Feels a bit apprehensive during ear cleaning/nail trimming. * Sheds only during shedding seasons. * Special Skills: Mastered 'Paw, Sit, Lie Down, Wait, House, Cool, Kiss, Nose' – a true pro in commands! 😎 * Favorites: Familiar people, head pats, fruits, running, cuddling 💙 Foster's Instagram: @imbo_victor_

Story
These two dogs belong to my 91 year old father, who has been stuck in the hospital for the past three months. I have been taking care of them the past few months, but now I have to go back to work, which will leave me unable to take care of them. The smaller dog is named, "OLLIE", and he is 6 years old. The bigger, long haired dog is 3 years old and named, "BRUNO". Both dogs are very gentle and sweet and neither one of them barks very often, if you can believe that. They have been spending most of the days, sitting on the couch, watching TV. We go for a few walks each day and they spend the nights in a big crate, until the morning when I let them outside to go potty. They have been great dogs, but I cannot keep them because I am never home.
