Story
This 9-year-old tiny bundle of personality is looking for a special home where he can thrive. While Avalanche may have had a reputation for being “tiny and angry” at the shelter, he’s proven that underneath it all, he’s a snuggly, sweet boy who loves nuzzling close to his human. He doesn’t mind being held and has a soft spot for making friends—his best buddy is a giant German Shepherd! Avalanche is crate-trained, travels well in the car, and enjoys the quiet comforts of home life. While he’s not a fan of sweaters (no need for a wardrobe), he loves curling up with his favorite person. He’d do best in an all-adult home with someone who works from home or is retired, where he can soak up all the love and attention he deserves. Avalanche is not neutered yet but will be soon, and all his other vet care is up to date. Rescued from the Newark shelter after his previous owner passed away, he’s left his angry days behind (mostly) and is ready to start a new chapter with his forever family. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1.

Story

Duke is still learning the ropes of being a dog, including leash walking and social skills, but he’s incredibly smart and eager to please. He can coexist with other dogs but may prefer to be the king of his castle as an only pup.

Meet Lila!! Lila was rescued from abusive owner by our Dorothy Rescue. She is a sweet a smart Jindo mix girl who wants to be loved :) Behaviours from foster home : Lila is such a sweetheart who is smart and loves her hoomans! She is a bit timid and shy at first time. She would be appreciate it, if you could give her some time get used to her new family and new environment :) She is good with other doggie friends. She also catches other dog's signal quickly, so she won't bother the other dog if they don't want to hang out. She is that smart ;) She is good with adults and kids, as well. Though, she'd like your slow and gentle approach to her. Please give her some time to get used to you and wait for her to feel comfortable and let her come to you :) She has good walking manner, as well. She absolutely loves walking! and She does her business only outside. She isn't a big barker and she has no separation anxiety. She is also crate trained, and she's never showed aggressive behavior. Also, she doesn't get carsick, so- you can enjoy car drive with her :D Lila may be a bit shy and timid at first time, but she is such a sweetheart and she is very gentle and loving~ Would you be her loving pawrents? :) Allergy/health issues : She hasn't showed any allergy issue. She does not have any health issue. But, sadly.. She lost her right hind leg because of her abusive previous owner... There were a number of dangerous moments during her treatment, but she stayed strong and she fought for her life. Now, she is a healthy and happy dog who loves running around and being loved. We are very proud of her!!!

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟 Meet Sadie💕 💙 Adogs Update Account: @_adogs_everyday 1⃣ Health - Spaying: Completed • Other Microchipped and scheduled for heartworm retesting in June 2025 2⃣ Rescue Story * Sadie was brought to the Gimje City Shelter, at which she had stayed for a long time. As she was about to be placed on the euthanasia list, a kind volunteer who had been watching over her requested her rescue. Thankfully, Sadie was safely brought to Adogs. 3⃣ Personality and Habits • With People: Is incredibly affectionate and loves human attention! • With Dogs: Since her time at the center has been relatively short, her interactions with other dogs are still being assessed. So far, seems to prefer resting alone rather than actively playing with other dogs. • Separation Anxiety: While she has shown no signs of separation anxiety at the center, it’s possible she may need adjustment and training in a home setting. • House Training: Is fully potty trained indoors, consistently using pee pads in the center environment. • Hygiene/Grooming: Is very calm during baths. • Walking on Leash: Walks very nicely on a leash with no pulling. • Car Sickness: Travels well in the car and shows no signs of motion sickness.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟 Meet Koko💞 💙 Koko's News Account: @be__my_family 1. Health Condition * Not spayed yet. * Microchipped. * Suspected to have grade 1 patellar luxation, so please be cautious to avoid excessive movement in daily life. 2. Rescue Story * Koko was living alone at the Gimje City Shelter. Due to the poor shelter conditions and her weak immune system, she contracted parvovirus and was urgently hospitalized. She was rescued by Adogs just as her treatment was coming to an end. 3. Basic Information * With People: Is a sweetheart who wags her tail when she sees people! When someone new sits near her, she’ll climb into their lap, show her belly, and nuzzle up affectionately. With familiar people, she loves to be held and cuddled. However, she might freeze if picked up suddenly, so please be gentle. * With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs! Adores canine friends and reads social cues well. Happily plays with dogs who match her energy, although she may get scared if a larger dog suddenly approaches. * Separation Anxiety: At first, she shows a little anxiety and may bark, but she soon calms down and relaxes in her kennel or plays alone quietly with toys. As a very young puppy, she needs consistent training. * Potty Training: Is 100% accurate on indoor pee pads. Because she likes cleanliness, she may go elsewhere if the pad is dirty—please replace it often. * Hygiene: When getting her nails trimmed, she may squirm at first but settles down if you continue calmly. * Walks: Got completely accustomed to the leash and now runs around with excitement! Likes people so much that she watches and chases them. * Car Sickness: Doesn't ’t get car sick. 4. Special Notes * As a young puppy, she may show behaviors like separation anxiety, potty habits, biting, nipping, whining, disorderly behaviors, howling, and barking. Training is needed. * Because her parents are unknown, it’s difficult to predict her shedding or adult size. * Has learned “Sit” and “Wait,” and is working on becoming calmer through training. * Is in her teething phase and tends to chew hands or clothing. It’s best to redirect her with wood sticks or toys. * Loves food and sometimes rushes to eat other dogs’ meals, so supervision is needed. However, she’ll back off if another dog approaches her food. * Is sensitive to large movements and loud, sudden sounds—approach her gently. Since being held is still unfamiliar and uncomfortable for her, she may vocalize softly when picked up to express her discomfort.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK💟 Meet Gahui💕 💙 Adogs News Account: @_adogs_everyday 1⃣ Health Condition * Spayed. * Microchipped, and fully recovered from heartworm. 2⃣ Rescue Story * Gahui was a stray dog wandering the streets while pregnant. She needed a safe place to rest and eat well, and thankfully, she was taken into a shelter where she gave birth to five healthy puppies, including #AdogsHarry. Through Adogs, Gahui and her puppies overcame their painful past and found new families in 2021. However, four years later, they are once again facing the heartbreak of being abandoned. 3⃣ Basic Information * With People: Wags her tail and greets strangers, but she tends to avoid physical contact at first. Once she gets used to someone, she becomes relaxed and comfortable. Has a particular fear of unfamiliar men, so it takes a bit more time for her to warm up to them. .* With Dogs: Is curious and often approaches unfamiliar dogs first! Sometimes, she gets overly excited and may growl when she wants to play, but she gets along very well with her canine housemates. * With Cats: When she sees a cat running away during walks, she tends to want to chase it. * Separation Anxiety: Doesn't have separation anxiety, but she sometimes waits by the door. * Potty Training: Is well-trained for both indoor and outdoor potty use. Indoors, she prefers to do when no one is around. * Walks: Does well, but caution is needed as she tries to chase cats or birds. When encountering unfamiliar dogs, her excitement can lead to growling and strong pulling. However, if you hold the leash short and ask her to sit, she quickly calms down. * Hygiene: Is great with baths and grooming! However, she doesn't like her paws being touched and tends to pull her feet away during nail trimming, so extra care is needed. * Car Sickness: Doesn’t get carsick, but she tends to be a bit nervous in the car. 4⃣ Special Notes * Is a bit timid and may bark when she hears scary noises from outside or when someone enters the home. Is also frightened by loud voices or shouting.
