Story
Meet Jerry, a lovable guy with a heart as big as his adorable eyes! Jerry is a goofy boy who is sure to bring joy and lots of laughs to your life. With his playful spirit and affectionate nature, he will be your loyal companion through life's adventures. Jerry was rescued from a hoarding situation with 20 dogs in an apartment. Because of this he is a little shy for the first day or 2 but after he warms up he thinks the best spot for him is in your lap! He is still learning the world so be a little patient with him but he will fill your life with lots of love. Jerry is about 2 yrs old and weighs 20 lbs. We don't know what breed he is but our best guess is some type of terrier mix and maybe chihuahua. He is great with other dogs and is crate trained. Jerry is located in Texas. His adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport and includes current shots, microchip, neuter and negative heart worm test. If you are interested in adopting Jerry please complete the adoption application at the link below.

Story
Meet Paris, our sweet 15 yr old lady found roaming the streets filthy and exhausted with nails curled in to her pads. She’s not in terrible shape for how rough she looked. She’s has a slight heart murmur and missing some teeth, which is pretty common for a girl her age. Her kidneys are perfect. She’s a little stiff in the legs with a little loss of muscle mass which also comes with age and her being overweight. Her liver values are elevated and she’s now on a liver support medication. Overall she’s doing well for her age and even has a little bit of sass to her and she’s ready to find her forever home where she can live out the rest of her years! She’s good with other dogs and enjoys wandering around the house for a little bit looking for her next nap spot since she takes about 10 naps a day! Paris is located in Texas. Her adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport and includes current shots, microchip, spay and negative Heartworm test.

Story
Meet Lil Bit – A Devoted, Gentle Companion 🐾 Lil Bit is a 6-year-old Chihuahua mix with a heart full of love and a calm, loyal spirit. She’s the kind of dog who forms a deep bond with her person and will happily follow you from room to room, always wanting to be close by your side. This sweet girl has wonderful manners and an easygoing personality. She knows “sit,” waits patiently to be harnessed and leashed, and walks beautifully on a leash. Lil Bit is also very polite when meeting new people—she happily greets adults and respectful children with a gentle, friendly demeanor. At her recent adoption event, Lil Bit truly shined. Despite the busy environment, crowds, and loud music, she remained calm, quiet, and well-behaved—never barking and content to relax in a lap or lounge in the shade. She also did great around other dogs, showing she can comfortably coexist. Lil Bit is currently living with another dog and has no problem sharing space—even cozying up together for naps. She’s also not destructive and settles nicely in the home, rotating between relaxing with her people and her doggy companion. She appears to be trained on puppy pads. While transitioning to a new routine may take patience, she’s a smart girl and eager to learn. She eats her meals in her crate and gets adorably excited at mealtime! At night, she may bark a bit when settling in, but she’s otherwise a quiet companion. Lil Bit prefers to keep all four paws on the ground and isn’t a fan of being picked up, but she absolutely loves gentle pets and affection. While she tolerates toddlers, she is more comfortable with calm, respectful interactions, so she would thrive in a home with older children who understand how to interact gently with a small dog. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who will stay close to your side and bring a peaceful presence to your home, Lil Bit may be your perfect match.

Story
Current Location: Stevensville, MD Hello! My name is Ladybug, but my foster family calls me Lady because I'm such a regal girl. I know you've heard of a turnkey house, but have you heard of a turnkey dog? Because that's what I am: I will be soooo easy for my new family! I'm great with other dogs and with kids, and I have completely ignored the cats in my foster home. I also appear to be pee pad trained already! If that doesn't win you over, my wonderful personality surely will. My foster family says I'm an absolute treasure! I’m looking for my forever family! Is that with you? If so please click “apply for adoption” or submit an application through the Adopt tab. Let’s get our family started!

📌 Important Adoption Information All of our dogs are currently living in private shelters or foster homes in South Korea. Once an adoption is approved, dogs will travel to the United States through legal and approved international transport procedures. Video calls are available prior to adoption, and adopters can communicate with our rescue team in real time through our official organization and app-based messaging channels throughout the process. • Rescue Story : Meet Mallow👋 This sweetheart was found wandering alone on a street in South Korea in Feb 2024. Sadly, he ended up in a high-risk shelter and on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, the rescue team stepped in just in time, giving him a second chance at life. While having heartworm treatment in a clinic, Mallow moved into his foster home in July 2024. Now, he’s ready to find his forever family! • Personality: Calm, Sweet, Shy Mallow needs a little time and space to feel comfortable, but once he does, he’ll open up beautifully. It may take patience, but winning his heart will be one of the most rewarding experiences ever! He is such a cuddle bug! • Affinity with -Cats: Not interested in cats on walks -Dogs: a huge dog-lover! Very friendly with other dogs regardless of size. He would adjust better in a home with another dog! -Adults/Kids: Good with adults. / Not a fan of kids - he would be the best fit in a home without children. • Housetrained: Fully housebroken, using pee pads indoors and going potty outdoors both. • Walking Manner: Very good on a leash! Wants to keep walks short. • Shedding: 5-6 • Food Allergies: No • Car Rides: Good • Barker or Quiet: Barks a little bit when hearing the loud noise from outside. • Separation Anxiety: He whimpers a little right after his foster family leaves home, but calms down soon. • Bathing/Brushing: Very good. • Likes & Dislikes: Loves treats, doggy friends, and cuddles! / Not a big fan of young kids • Health: Completed heartworm treatment in late 2024 and was cleared of infection by April 2025. Had a few teeth extracted this October due to root damage, but it doesn’t affect his ability to chew. Regular and thorough tooth brushing is essential. Otherwise, he’s a healthy boy! 💙 Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation, Customs and export documentation, Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee. Your support directly helps us continue rescuing and caring for dogs in need, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.

📌 Important Adoption Information All of our dogs are currently living in private shelters or foster homes in South Korea. Once an adoption is approved, dogs will travel to the United States through legal and approved international transport procedures. Video calls are available prior to adoption, and adopters can communicate with our rescue team in real time through our official organization and app-based messaging channels throughout the process. 🩷 Rescue Story Lina was rescued just before euthanasia from "Jeongeup Shelter" in South Korea. Thanks to timely intervention, she was given a second chance at life and moved into foster care, where her bright and affectionate personality has truly blossomed. 🌿 Temperament & Behavior Lina is friendly and social. On walks, she shows curiosity toward other dogs and cats, but when she meets a cat, she simply sniffs briefly and walks away calmly. She gets along well with other dogs and can live in a multi-dog household. She may show a bit of jealousy at times, as many girls do, but she has never shown aggression or biting behavior. She is extremely affectionate and loves attention. She is friendly with all people, though she is especially drawn to women and seems to have a soft spot for women in their 50s. 🚶 Walking & Daily Life Lina enjoys leisurely walks with plenty of time to sniff and explore. She is always walked using a double leash for safety. Her shedding level is moderate to slightly high, about 6 out of 10. She is not picky with food and is fed high-quality kibble. Her regular diet includes Acana Free-Run Duck or Blue Buffalo Salmon. Treats are given sparingly, about once a week. 🏡 Habits & Training Lina primarily does her potty outdoors. She goes on walks in the morning and evening, ranging from one hour to sometimes up to two hours. She does well with baths. While brushing hasn’t been necessary due to her coat type, she enjoys being touched and handled. She does not show separation anxiety. When her foster returns home, she simply greets them happily with tail wags and no destructive behavior. She barks only occasionally—once when she is in a great mood, or briefly in response to loud motorcycle delivery noises. She may experience mild motion sickness on longer car rides, such as trips to nearby camping areas, but she has never vomited. 💛 Likes & Personality Lina loves walking side by side with her foster mom and truly enjoys greeting and meeting her dog friends. Her gentle nature and affectionate personality make her a joy to be around. She is currently living in a foster home. 💙 Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation, Customs and export documentation, Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee.
