Story
Chico is a tiny 15-year-old Chihuahua with a big heart packed into his 4-pound frame. He was deeply loved by his original family, who made the difficult and heartbreaking decision to surrender him when circumstances changed. This sweet little gentleman still enjoys the simple things in life: cozy naps, mealtimes, leisurely strolls outside, and following his favorite people from room to room. He'll even let you know when it's time to head outside for a potty break. Every now and then, he gets a little pep in his step that reminds everyone age is just a number. Like many senior dogs, Chico's hearing and vision aren't perfect, but he gets around quite well. He's used to being carried up and down stairs and currently eats prescription wet food due to a history of bladder stones. Chico can be startled by active dogs racing around him, but he's comfortable with other dogs once he's had time to settle in and get acquainted. Because of this, a quiet adult-only home would be his ideal match. If you're looking for a devoted companion who asks for little more than love, comfort, and a soft place to nap, Chico may be the perfect addition to your family. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1.

Story
Onyx is 5 years old. He was born to parents located in NYC as the second liter of puppies. He is used to being around children, however very small kids like toddlers and babies are not his preferred company. Most treat him as a toy and he doesn't like that much. Onyx has never bit anyone and has only growled a few times when he was confronted by a stranger, but he backed down when he realized the person was not frightened of him. He will bark when he hears people too close to the door. He has a lot of energy and likes to play just as much as he likes to cuddle. He prefers to have a soft doggy bed and toys to play with.

He is currently receiving oriental medical rehabilitation (acupuncture/physical therapy). His activity levels and walk durations should be adjusted based on his daily condition.​2️⃣ Rescue Story* ​Miracle arrived at the Gimje Shelter with fractures in both hind legs and his spine. Because the high number of dogs at the public shelter made specialized care difficult, he was rescued by Adogs to receive the necessary surgery and consistent long-term treatment he deserved.​3️⃣ Personality & Characteristics* ​Interaction with People: Absolutely loves people! Is a total sweetheart who will approach strangers first with plenty of charm. His favorite spot is sitting right on a human's lap. Once he knows you, he’ll wag his tail and come running for pets.* ​Interaction with Dogs: Gets along well with everyone. Has a calm temperament and prefers quietly observing his friends rather than engaging in rough physical play.* ​Interaction with Cats: Is indifferent toward cats and coexists peacefully with them.* ​Separation Anxiety: Unknown, as he currently lives in a group setting at the center. May require patient training once he moves into a home environment.* ​Potty Training: Occasionally leaks a small amount of urine or stool, especially when startled or right after waking up from his bed.* ​Hygiene: Handles baths very calmly. However, tends to avoid having his paws touched during nail trims.* ​Walking: Loves walks! Walks beautifully on a leash without pulling.* ​Car Sickness: None. Rests comfortably in the car during travels.* ​Nipping/Biting: Has never shown any biting tendencies.* ​Vocalization: Occasionally barks when he sees a stranger.* ​Likes: Is highly motivated by treats!* ​Dislikes: Dislikes having his paws touched, likely due to the trauma of his past injuries.

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK & EWR💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet Nareum 💙 ADOGS Instagram: @_adogs_ 1. Medical History * Spayed * Microchipped, and heartworm negative. 2. Rescue Story * Nareum was staying at the Gimje Shelter, waiting for a family while enduring an environment highly vulnerable to infectious diseases. Sadly, no one reached out to help her. Unable to leave her behind in such harsh conditions, Adogs stepped in and rescued her to give a chance at a bright future. 3. Personality & Characteristics * ​Interaction with People: Is shy around strangers. Is curious about people and shows interest from a distance, but physical touch is difficult for her right now. However, if you're holding a treat, she will approach, stand up on her hind legs, and eagerly ask for it! Will also take treats directly from your hand. If someone approaches her too quickly, she runs away, and if someone tries to suddenly pick her up or pet her, she may give a soft warning bite ("nip") before fleeing. Even with familiar people, touch is currently limited to a gentle tap on her nose when she approaches first. While she feels comfortable around people she knows, she doesn't easily allow physical touch yet. * ​Interaction with Dog: Loves making dog friends! Proactively approaches new dogs and makes friends easily at the center. Gets along great even with dogs that are overly energetic or lack manners, playing right along with them. If another dog expresses discomfort, she gently steps away rather than acting aggressively—she's a true gentle soul. * Interaction with ​Cat: When she sees cats outside the play area, she silently watches them with curiosity. * ​Separation Anxiety: Unknown at the moment since she is currently living in a group setting at the center. Will need training from scratch once she moves into a home. * ​Potty Training: Currently uses both indoor pads and outdoor spaces at the center. Potty training will need to start fresh in a new home environment. * ​Hygiene Care: Is not yet used to grooming routines like brushing or nail trimming. Tends to run away when you try to hold her for these, so needs a bit more time and patience. * ​Walks: We attempted walks, but she squirmed and struggled, so it wasn't successful. Since she runs away when seeing a leash/harness, she needs gradual training starting from getting comfortable wearing gear. * ​Motion Sickness: Rides in the car very well without any signs of motion sickness. * ​Nipping: Once, when we cornered her in the yard to pick her up and bring her inside, she gave a light nip and ran off. In an unfamiliar environment with strangers trying to catch her, she may show defensive nipping. Additionally, sometimes play-bites gently while playing with dog friends. * ​Barking: When meeting a stranger for the first time, she may bark briefly for a few minutes. However, stops quickly and starts snooping around out of curiosity. * ​Likes: Treats! Also absolutely loves playing with dog friends. * ​Dislikes: Physical touch makes her uncomfortable. Gets scared when people make big or sudden movements. * ​Personality: Is a lively girl who loves playing with other dogs, with a medium-to-high energy level. While she can seem calm, she gets super playfully excited when she sees things she loves! Adapts to dog friends very quickly, but takes a bit more time to warm up to humans. Needs a patient family who can wait for her to open her heart at her own pace.

Story
Meet Nori 🤍🐾 Nori turned 6 years old this Fourth of July, and my birthday wish for her is that she finally finds the forever home she deserves. For most of her life, Nori was kept in a single room. She wasn't taken on walks, wasn't potty trained, and rarely got to experience life outside those four walls. Since coming into my home, she's completely blossomed. She now loves slow walks, has lost weight, is potty trained on a strict schedule, and is the sweetest little cuddle bug. She melts into you for snuggles and gives the best kisses. She truly just wants to be loved. Nori is up to date on her vaccines but is not spayed. She has arthritis in her knees and hips, so she's happiest taking life at a slower pace. She's waited six years to know what love feels like. Now all she needs is someone to make sure she never has to wonder again. If you think Nori could be your perfect companion, or know someone who might, please send me a message.
