📌 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. Meet Lylla :) • She rides so well that if you open the car door she gets in by herself, and she doesn't get car sick at all. If you like traveling she would make a really good buddy! • She loves playing with other dogs, running in the park, cuddles, kisses, sleeping with you, walks, hikes, and delicious food (fruit, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, cheese, meat) and treats! • Personality: She is affectionate, full of energy, loves to have fun, and adapts well to new things. She likes both people and dogs and cats (she'll play with them). She also loves to play in the park or the mountains. When she's excited, she'll purr to show her excitement. She loves to be held - she wants to fall asleep with you in your arms. She's the best dog ever! 💙 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.

To learn more about Zoey, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Zoey will be at one of our adoption events this weekend! Visit our event page (https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/) to see which one—event listings are usually updated on Fridays with attending dogs. Zoey is a tiny black-and-white Dachshund with a delicate little face and eyes that tell a lifetime of stories. Zoey has been thriving in her foster home and is looking for a forever home to rest her head. She's comfortable in her crate at night, has mastered the dogy door at her foster home and does her business outside. She walks well on leash and gets along well with her foster dog brother. She loves to lounge on the couch with her people and take comfy naps in her dog bed. If you have room in your heart for a gentle soul who simply wants to be with you, Zoey is waiting.

Meet Roxy! Tangy like your favorite salsa 🌶,, and as sweet as a celebratory birthday cake 🎂,,. Roxy is truly delectable. Roxy is a small, adorable dog with a large, delightful, and bold personality! She adores meeting new people (preferably adults and older children) and, when petted, wriggles her tushie with delight. She enjoys the company of most dogs and would welcome a meet and greet with other dogs that reside in the household. Roxy has demonstrated impeccable house manners - that is, she sleeps quietly through the night, is not destructive, and does not show signs of separation anxiety. She loves to explore, whether it be indoors or outdoors, yet also enjoys quiet time simply cuddling and resting. She is a very entertaining gal who looks forward to a foster or an adopter who will provide her the love, warmth and comforts of a home that she so richly deserves. So, c'mon and add a delicious Roxy spice to your life, complemented with an abundance of sweetness, and see for yourself all the love and joy she has to offer. Questions About this Animal?

Story
Meet Cove: The Velvet-Covered Shadow You Never Knew You Needed At 36 pounds, Cove is basically the dachshund equivalent of a weighted blanket—black, seal-skin soft, and scientifically engineered to make you never want to get up from the couch again. She’s 3 years old, which means she’s outgrown the “eat your shoes” phase but still young enough to zoomie like she’s in training for the Wiener Dog Grand Prix. Her hobbies include: Gluing herself to your side like an emotional support barnacle Melting hearts with floppy ears and soulful eyes Pretending she’s not spoiled while absolutely being spoiled Cove’s dream? A forever home with a couch, a lap, and a human who understands that “personal space” is just a myth. Adopt her, and you’ll never go to the bathroom alone again, lucky you.

PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: submit an adoption questionnaire and an adoption coordinator will reach out LOCATION: Foster home ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Sue B (sueb@homewardtrails.org) ADOPTION FEE: The adoption fee for this dog: $475 ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 17 lbs full grown now ESTIMATED AGE: 3 years old approx KNOWN WITH DOGS: Sandy does well with other dogs and will need another dog in the home. She LOVES to wrestle and play with her foster dog sister - loves it! KNOWN WITH CATS: Sandy came from a home originally with a lot of cats and met several in her first foster home, so she is likely to do well with them. KNOWN WITH KIDS: Sandy came from a home with young kids and did great. However, she has proven very shy with strangers so she might do best with kids 10 years and up. KNOWN COMMANDS: She is learning "come" and "potty" KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Sandy is good about housebreaking, but does not yet go to the bathroom on leash unless you give her a good amount of time. However, she is currently fostered in the city and would much prefer a quieter neighborhood. She is good about going at the dog park and will use a pee pad 100% if put down for urinating. She is 100% perfect in her crate all night and when left alone. KNOWN LIKES: Playing, treats, napping, chewing, and romping in the sun. She LOVES to cuddle and will lay on top of you if you let her. Once she bonds she is a velcro dog and loves nothing more than to get pets and kisses and cuddles on the couch. KNOWN DISLIKES: Sandy still gets spooked by loud noises outdoors - loud trucks, sirens and some strangers. ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Sandy gave birth to her two tiny pups, Nick and Nora, just before Christmas, but they are now weaned and Sandy is ready to find a family of her own. Sandy is nervous around new people, but once she gets to know you, she becomes a wiggly ball of love. She is a small girl who likes walks, tummy rubs, and the finest of chicken treats. While she will take a bit to warm up, it won't take too long and once she knows you she is a goofy, playful, cuddly girl who is great indoors. She would prefer a home with a yard or some fenced area as she has not yet mastered going to the bathroom on leash but we feel she may master this sooner in a quiet neighborhood so we will consider apartments if the neighborhood is quiet! ------ HT ADOPTION INCLUSIONS: -Spay/Neuter -First 3 distemper series vaccines and dewormings -Rabies vaccine* age appropriate at time of adoption -Microchip - lifetime with no registration fees -Current on heartworm preventative -Current on flea/tick preventative ---- EXCLUSIVE HTAR ADOPTER BENEFITS: -$15 off your first chewy order of $49.00 or more -Exclusive pet insurance offers - $250 coverage at any VCA Hospital in the country -COMPLIMENTARY FIRST EXAMS at 10 DC-Area veterinarians - Free year-round dog training - KEEP YOUR PET SAFE: Homeward Trails is proud to offer PetLink GPS trackers that will allow you to know where your pet is in real time.**Exclusive for HT Adopters (does not include subscription plan): $50 Check it out here: https://landing.petlink.net/gps-dog-tracker -A portion of EVERY ADOPTION FEE supports spay/neuter efforts in under resourced communities -Free doggy day care offers -EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNTS for Homeward Trails events and merchandise -Win a $50 Amazon gift card
