✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to U.S. and Canada💟 💙 Name: Kuma 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 2 years old (Born April 2024) 💙 Weight: 11.7 kg / 25.8 lbs 💙 ADOGS Instagram (KR): @_adogs_ 1. Medical History * Neutered * Microchipped and heartworm retest scheduled for December 2026 2. Rescue Story * Kuma was living at the Gimje Shelter. Because the shelter environment was vulnerable to infectious diseases, Adogs could not leave him behind and stepped in urgently to rescue him. 3. Personality & Characteristics * With Humans: Is timid and easily frightened by strangers. Around familiar people, he will smile happily and approach first; however, he is still not used to physical touch and tends to flinch and freeze when petted. * With Dogs: Coexists peacefully without showing much interest in other dogs. Has never shown aggression toward dog friends. * With Cats: Has not yet been introduced to cats. * Separation Anxiety: Since he is currently living in a group setting at the center, his individual anxiety levels are unknown. Structured independence training will be needed from day one in a home environment. * Potty Training: Currently uses both indoor and outdoor potty setups at the center. Does not show leg-lifting marking behavior. * Grooming: Dislikes being brushed, but if done inside the kennel, he patiently stays still and tolerates it. * Leash Walking: Is afraid of putting on a leash, so when clipping the leash, he freezes up and digs his heels in, refusing to go out. Ongoing desensitization training is required. * Motion Sickness: Showed no signs of car sickness during short-distance rides. * Biting: When he first arrived at the center, he showed defensive snapping/biting when sudden touch was attempted. While he has improved significantly and no longer shows biting behavior, caution is required if the environment changes. * Barking: Has shown no barking or whining behavior. Guidance and training may be needed once he transitions into a home setting. * Personality & Temperament: Is cautious and shy. Although he approaches people first out of curiosity, he gets scared and backs away when you actually reach out to touch him. Is slowly building trust over time at the center, showing steady and constant progress.

Story
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO ON THIS DOG BEFORE REQUESTING AN APPLICATION. MANY OF OUR DOGS HAVE STRICT REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR ADOPTION. To see more pictures of this dog, please visit our Facebook page and look under “photos” and then “albums”. A 30ish pound, 6-year-old female Super Mutt, Sheba arrived to Smidget pregnant. Having done a great job raising her pups, she’s now ready to bring dances of joy and lots of cuddles to her forever home. She is delighted to run with you, play ball, or lounge on the couch. She is loyal, eager to please, and gets along well with other dogs and cats. Sheba’s energy levels are high and would be too much for a home with small children. In addition to normal barking, she will make a series of high-pitched noises when triggered by something such as a strange dog. Very smart and food-motivated, she responds well to training. New people are a challenge for her, and she will take some time—and treats—to warm up to them. To request an adoption application, email smidgetrescue@hotmail.com Adoption contract and fee applies. All adoptable dogs can be met at adoption events hosted every weekend. For a list of scheduled events go to: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/events . Smidget Rescue is not a shelter, and dogs cannot be seen at the Rescue location. All dogs are fostered throughout the Puget Sound area and are brought to the events where they can be met by prospective adopters. Additional pictures of adoptable dogs can be seen at: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/photos_stream?tab=photos_albums. All adoptable dogs are spayed or neutered at 6 months of age or older. Puppies are adopted with a refundable spay/neuter deposit (in addition to the adoption fee) and adopters are required to get their puppy to our vet for their pre-scheduled spay-neuter appointments. APPLICATIONS CAN BE OBTAINED BY EMAIL ONLY. Adoption process includes application, meet & greet, home visit and reference check. Email Jamie at smidgetrescue@hotmail.com or click on the CONTACT link on this page. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS BEFORE SENDING. 8632781We get a fair number of incorrect emails and Jamie is not able to contact potential adopters. Notice: We do not ship dogs out of state. You must live within a three-hour radius of Seattle, WA, (such as Portland, Vancouver B.C., etc.), so we can arrange for a home visit. If your home seems like a great fit for the dog you would like to adopt, you must then drive to meet the dog at one of our weekend events or at the fosters home.

Story
*hair blowing in the wind (even though she's indoors)* *unexplained sparkles in the air* *faint heavenly music* Yes, she is me. Chloe. Now that you are blinded by my beauty, let me explain why I am the absolute best girl on the inside too and so deserving of your (and everyone's) undivided adoration. I'm loyal, smart as a whip, and FUN, just to name a few. Unfortunately, I didn't come from the most glamorous beginnings. I was an outdoor doggy with not much interaction from birth and my family also left me behind when they moved. Thus, I wasn't really brought up interacting with you humans or being touched/handled. I've had my quirks while adjusting to being a family dog and will definitely need someone patient and understanding with me. (If you get too touchy right away, I don't like that and will try to protect myself.) However, if you are slow and gain my trust I will HANG on your every move. I have adjusted very quickly in the past with proper introductions to people. Even still, I would probably do best in a home without young children. I'm a lady after all and need time to sniff you out before you get grabby. I am an active girl and love to feel the wind in my hair outdoors too. I run with the speed of light and have a prey drive to sniff out bugs, lizards and more. I also love to play tug of war and fetch with my foster mommy inside. I bounce, bounce, bounce all the time! I am great on leash so walks and hikes would be great for me. Getting my energy out will help me focus on training too. I am very smart and learn quickly, but tend to lose interest if I'm still chock full of go, go, go!! With all of this perfection, all of your pet needs should be fulfilled, right? RIGHT? I hope so because I would do great as an only pet in the home. I have been able to co-exist with dogs at the rescue but I am a bit of a diva in my foster home. I have a domineering personality sometimes and will even mark like a male when I come across another dog's scent in my house. How dare they??? Existing? HERE? (She is otherwise house trained.) Considering that you and I know each other a little better now, you may pet me. Yes, I am very soft, I know. Please keep in mind that I am a Chow/shepherd mix and have hair that will require brushing, maybe even the occasional spa treatment, Swedish massage, 24k gold facials...yeahhhhhhhhhh.... Sorry! I forgot you were here. In all seriousness, once I trust you, I will allow you to brush me out without much fuss. It doesn't need to be daily but I am a rough and tumble kinda gal and can use help keeping my locks flowing and free. I also shed so if I seem to be losing my girlish figure, it's probably just extra hair that needs to be brushed off. I hope you have a strong vacuum. ;) I could go on for days about myself, but I'll stop here. Don't wanna overwhelm you. If you think you are up for the challenge of a total spitfire like me, please feel free to send in an application and foster mommy can tell you more about all of the grandeur that is...CHLOE. Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX)

Story
Midnight, a common name for a common black dog....but what about me?? AM I COMMON??? NOPE! I am the lion of dog breeds :) Nothing normal or common about me! Not my beautiful mane OR my beautiful chow chow personality! So I was found in a park, abandoned with my "friends" after my owner died :( LUCKILY i found a rescue who not only LOVES the breed, but also has helped me get healthy (think heartworms and bad skin) but also will find me exactly the right family! (HOPEFULLY in a colder climate!!) I am not a puppy and since I am a single dog home I really would do best without young children or unpredictable adults :) I am a magnificent breed but we are a little picky about our friends and need someone who KNOWS and LOVES my breed.. I am ready for you if you are ready for me.... put in the adoption application!! Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) OUt of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED Meet Goliath! Goliath is a 6-year-old, 80 lb Lab / Chow / Anatolian mix who came to us as a stray from an overcrowded shelter. He’s a big, handsome boy with a lot of presence and an equally big heart for his people! Goliath is incredibly loyal and affectionate with those he knows and trusts. He loves playing fetch, is highly treat-motivated, and will happily give you his full attention when food is involved. Once he bonds with his person, he’s devoted, loving, and eager to please. Because of his size, strength, and independent streak, Goliath is looking for a very specific home. He can be a bit stubborn at times, so he’ll need a confident, experienced handler who can provide clear structure and guidance. He unfortunately does not do well with other dogs and can be reactive, so he will need to be the only pet in the home (no dogs or cats). He’s also strong, jumpy, and can be mouthy when excited, so we’re looking for a home without young children. Goliath would thrive in a standalone home with a fully fenced yard, ideally in a quieter, more rural or suburban setting outside the city where he isn’t overstimulated. A calm, predictable environment with a confident, experienced handler will help him be his best self. Consistency, routine, and leadership will go a long way with this big guy. Large-breed experience is a must. Goliath is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $400.

Story
**About Breek:** Breek is an international rescue all the way from South Korean. While "international adoption" might sound like a major undertaking, we have years of experience streamlining this process to make it as smooth as possible. We’ll be right by your side to explain every step! The Journey Home Once your application is approved, the final step of Breek’s journey begins. Adopters are responsible for picking him up directly from a major international airport. Common arrival hubs include: West Coast: SFO, SEA, LAX. East Coast & Central: JFK, IAH Personality Breek is a happy, gentle, and affectionate little boy with a surprisingly calm personality for his age! He absolutely loves people and enjoys being close to them. He’s very affectionate and tends to rely on his humans for comfort and attention. He gets along very well with other dogs, although he can be a little timid around larger dogs and may bark at first when meeting them. Overall, he’s a sweet, easygoing puppy who loves both people and his furry friends. Good with Children? Breek hasn’t spent much time around children, but he has been calm and friendly when meeting them. His foster believes he would likely do well with children, although he hasn’t had much experience living or spending extended time with them. Good with Cats? Yes! Breek currently lives with a cat in his foster home and gets along well with cats. Car Rides Breek is already very comfortable with car rides! He’s been riding in cars since he was about 2 months old, so he’s quite used to them. Whether he’s traveling in a crate or sitting in the back seat, he stays calm and relaxed throughout the ride. Potty Training Breek is doing wonderfully with potty training! He currently uses both indoor pee pads and outdoor potty areas. He usually goes potty in the yard in the morning and during his evening walks. Indoors, he has a 100% success rate with pee pads, and he already does most of his pooping outside. As he’s growing, his potty frequency is gradually decreasing. His foster expects he may naturally transition to mostly outdoor potty breaks as he gets older, although this will depend on his routine and training. Separation Anxiety Breek hasn’t been left completely alone yet, as he currently lives with several other dogs. Since he’s still a young puppy and loves being around people, he may whine a little when adjusting to a new home or learning to spend time alone. He’ll need some patience and gradual alone-time training as he settles in. Food & Resource Guarding Breek absolutely loves food and treats! He’s very patient and waits nicely for his turn when treats are being handed out. He’s also a slow eater, so other dogs sometimes manage to steal his food, but he doesn’t react aggressively or start fights. He’s not a picky eater at all! His foster feeds him a mix of different types of kibble, and he happily eats everything. He has no known food allergies so far. No resource-guarding behavior has been observed. Leash Walking & Recall Breek has only recently started learning to walk on a leash, but he’s already making great progress! He’s also practicing recall in a safe, controlled off-leash environment. Even when he’s happily running around, he comes right back when called and willingly returns indoors. He’s a smart little puppy who seems eager to learn! Training & Commands Breek currently understands: Sit No He’s still very young, so his training is ongoing. APPLY HERE https://lifeofhopefoundation.org/adoption-application/

**About Bunny:** Bunny is an international rescue all the way from South Korean. While "international adoption" might sound like a major undertaking, we have years of experience streamlining this process to make it as smooth as possible. We’ll be right by your side to explain every step! The Journey Home Once your application is approved, the final step of Bunny’a journey begins. Adopters are responsible for picking her up directly from a major international airport. Common arrival hubs include: West Coast: SFO, SEA, LAX. East Coast & Central: JFK, IAH Personality Bunny is a sweet, curious girl who can be a little timid at first. Although she’s naturally cautious, her love for treats often gives her the courage to approach people! She’s curious about her surroundings and enjoys being petted once she feels comfortable. Bunny gets along very well with other dogs, especially those larger than herself. She’s particularly attached to Olio, a 60 lb male dog in her foster home, and often looks to him for comfort and reassurance. Good with Children? Bunny hasn’t had much direct experience with children, but her foster believes she would likely do fine with them. However, her interactions with children have not yet been fully tested. Good with Cats? Bunny currently lives with a cat in her foster home. She shows some curiosity toward the cat but hasn’t displayed any aggression. She also shows little interest in stray cats she encounters outdoors. Car Rides Bunny does well in the car! She can jump into the back seat on her own and usually lies down calmly during the ride. She’s also comfortable traveling in a crate. Potty Training Bunny prefers going potty outdoors, but she occasionally uses pee pads indoors. When she’s taken outside on a consistent schedule, she rarely needs to use the pads. Separation Anxiety Bunny hasn’t been left completely alone because she has always lived with other dogs in her foster home. Her foster believes she may whine initially if left alone in an unfamiliar environment until she becomes comfortable. However, her ability to stay home alone has not yet been tested. Food & Resource Guarding Bunny absolutely loves treats! She’s very food-motivated and generally waits patiently for her turn. She tends to eat her treats very quickly and sometimes keeps an eye on the other dogs’ treats, hoping to sneak an extra bite! No specific resource-guarding behavior has been reported, although supervision around food is recommended. Leash Walking Bunny is good on leash. She may pull a little at the beginning of a walk, but once she’s had her first potty break, she usually settles down and walks more calmly. She loves taking her time to sniff and explore her surroundings. Sometimes she gets a little stubborn when she wants to keep sniffing, but her foster redirects her with a firm “No” and gentle leash guidance. She generally doesn’t show much interest in other dogs she encounters during walks. Training & Commands Bunny currently understands: Sit No Stay (still working on this, especially when treats are involved!) Current Foster Home Bunny has been living with her foster family for approximately 8 months. Her current foster environment includes: 8 other dogs 1 or more cats No children No adult men living in the home She has gained plenty of experience living and socializing with other dogs, particularly in a multi-dog household. What Kind of Home Would Be Best for Bunny? Bunny would likely thrive in a patient, loving home where she can build confidence at her own pace. Since she enjoys the company of other dogs and often relies on them for reassurance, a home with a friendly, confident resident dog, especially a larger one, could be a wonderful match for her. But she will do well as the only dog in the house as well. Although Bunny may need some time to adjust to a completely new environment, she’s a curious, affectionate girl who enjoys gentle attention and loves her treats. With patience, consistency, and lots of love, Bunny has great potential to become a wonderful companion! APPLY HERE https://lifeofhopefoundation.org/adoption-application/

**About Cove:** Cove is an international rescue all the way from South Korean. While "international adoption" might sound like a major undertaking, we have years of experience streamlining this process to make it as smooth as possible. We’ll be right by your side to explain every step! The Journey Home Once your application is approved, the final step of Cove’s journey begins. Adopters are responsible for picking him up directly from a major international airport. Common arrival hubs include: West Coast: SFO, SEA, LAX. East Coast & Central: JFK, IAH 🐕 Personality Cove has a great balance of being moderately active and calm. He can be a little shy around strangers at first, but he is very smart. He assesses the situation well and knows how to lean on you for support. Since he loves treats, it’s very easy to become friends with him! He shows curiosity if you give him time and avoid making sudden movements. Please note that he can get easily startled if you try to put a leash on him or grab him suddenly. Experience with children Yes, he met a 10-year-old girl and gently accepted treats from her. We just made sure to ask that children avoid making sudden, loud noises or sudden movements around him. Experience with cats He hasn’t met any cats yet. Behavior in cars He doesn’t drool much, but he tends to curl up tightly because he feels a bit scared. However, he is steadily improving, and he will get comfortable in the car very soon! Potty training He prefers doing his business outdoors, but he does very well on potty pads indoors as well. Behavior when left alone He tends to whine a bit when people are out of sight. Since there are other dogs in the home, he has never been left completely by himself. Since he is still just a young puppy, we think he will learn to do well on his own as he grows up. Resource guarding He waits politely for his turn to get treats. Because he loves food so much, he will keep a close eye on other dogs’ treats if they don’t eat them right away. Since he is still a puppy, we are continuing to observe him closely as he grows. Leash and walk experience He maintains a good, comfortable distance on the leash and is very easy to manage on walks. He even responds very well off-leash (in safe areas)! He shows curiosity toward other dogs, but he doesn’t pull or drag you. Overall Summary Cove is an absolute sweetheart with so much affection! (Though he is still a bit afraid of being picked up into someone’s arms.) When you sit down, he loves to slide between your legs, and when you lie down, he leans his whole body against you. It is honestly one of his absolute best and most charming traits! He is unbelievably lovable. His love for treats makes him very easy to train and bond with, and he waits quietly and politely at cafes or restaurants. He adores other dogs, has a great moderate energy level, and is even cuter in real life than in his photos! APPLY HERE https://lifeofhopefoundation.org/adoption-application/
