Story
OSKI is a shy yet also a happy-go-lucky guy! He is gentle, kind, and just wants that in return. He loves other dogs of all sizes and loves to run around and play, but he’s also respectful if they want space. He does well with cats too! His favorite thing to do is go for a hike while he carries a ball in his mouth. He LOVES toys. He also likes to be your sidekick and see what you are up to. Once he feels safe with you, he would like scratches behind the ears too! OSKI was saved from a dog-meat slaughterhouse in S. Korea that was shut down after an undercover investigation exposed the cruel and illegal operations there. A flight volunteer then brought him to the U.S. where he has been learning how to be a dog and he is now absolutely ready to find a home! He walks very nicely on a leash, is house-trained, and he is a pleasure to be around. Email adoptions@startrescue.org for more info and an application form.

Story
smokey was in Irvine pound t& they were going to kill him because they said he was aggressive He was not. He was scared and protective while incarcerated. The pound scared him by poling him. He was afraid of them all. His owner went to see him and he was a sweet boy. which surprised them. He was being reactive to other dogs on walks, aggressive however he has been in boot camp for a month and that issue has been worked with. He wants to be good boy and he is. He will need an experienced owner who will know. to keep him confident and be the leader with exercise.. contact adoptachowla@gmail.com
