Story
📌 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.

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.

Story
Meet Penn! Penn and his brother, Teller, were purchased as a surprise birthday present for the family’s daughter. As many people quickly learn, adding two puppies at once can be a lot for any household, and this family was not prepared for the commitment. Just a few months later, both pups were surrendered to rescue and had not yet received their required vaccinations or basic veterinary care. Since coming into rescue, both boys have been fully vetted and are now healthy, happy, and ready to start their new lives. Teller has already found his forever home, but Penn is still waiting for his perfect family. Penn is currently being fostered with his foster parents, Emily and Ray, and their two dogs, and he does very well as part of a pack. We think he’ll flourish in a home with another dog to romp and play with—he prioritizes playtime with other pups over food! Emily shared this FOSTER MOM UPDATE: “Penn is a confident, playful pup, but also very snuggly. As he’s settled in, he’s developed a cuddly side and enjoys curling up with his people for attention and lap time. Since his brother was adopted, he’s become especially loving and people-oriented, happily soaking up affection whenever it’s offered. He is doing well with potty training, but I wouldn’t consider him fully house-trained yet. He knows to go outside when we let him out of the pen, but you have to watch him. He LOVES to wrestle and play and has been having a great time with our dogs since Teller left. He loves small squeaky toys and will even play fetch! He also LOVES carrots and will happily eat a whole carrot like a treat. He does very well on public outings. We’ve taken him out several times in our stroller (yes, really ), including to a brewery with live music, and he was totally unbothered. He is very adaptable and doesn’t mind wearing clothes, bow ties, or collars. Penn has a really cute and fun personality. He’s done well meeting new people both at home and while out and about. He enjoys attention from visitors and is comfortable being handled. All of my friends love him dearly.” *********** Penn’s playful spirit, affectionate nature, and fun personality are sure to bring a lot of laughter and love to his future home. He would thrive in an active household with another playful dog and a family ready to continue helping him grow and learn. Apply today! BREED ESTIMATE: Dachshund (possible Doxen/Chi mix) GENDER: Male APPROXIMATE WEIGHT: 11 lbs (will be 13-14 lbs fully grown) APPROXIMATE AGE: ~ 6 mos old COAT TYPE: Short coat ADOPTION FEE: $425.00 OTHER INFO: Current on shots, microchipped, neutered. LOCATION:  Charlotte, NC FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to https://adopt.worthydog.org and complete the application. You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to https://foster.worthydog.org and fill out an application. Worthy Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue that primarily adopts to families in the DC Metro area. March 11, 2026, 12:57 am

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.

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.
