Story
Meet Benny: The Perfect Match for a True Homebody Age: 6 years old Breed: Labrador Retriever / German Shepherd Mix Personality: Devoted, affectionate, and intelligent Ideal Home: A quiet, low-traffic, single-pet household BONUS: Benny's adoption fee is fully sponsored so his adopter pays nothing! If your perfect evening involves relaxing on the couch rather than hosting a big crowd, Benny might just be your soulmate. At 6 years old, Benny is the perfect age—he has outgrown the frantic puppy energy but still has plenty of love, loyalty, and companionship to give. As a Lab/Shepherd mix, he is incredibly smart, attentive, and deeply devoted to the people he trusts. Why You'll Love Him: Perfect House Manners: Benny is an absolute gentleman indoors. He is fully house-trained, respects the home, and knows exactly how to be a good boy when left to his own devices. Loves Training Sessions: True to his Shepherd and Lab roots, Benny is highly intelligent and loves working his brain! He genuinely enjoys training sessions and views working with his human as a fun, rewarding game. Speaking of games, he will play fetch with you until the cows come home. World-Class Cuddler: Once you are in Benny's inner circle, you have a friend for life. He forms a beautifully deep bond with his person and loves nothing more than curling up next to you to melt away stress. A Calming Indoor Presence: He is a gentle, self-contained companion who will happily keep you company while you work from home and quietly relax at your feet. Benny’s Ideal Sanctuary: A Quiet, Low-Traffic Home: Benny takes comfort in a calm environment. Because he takes time to warm up to new people, he is looking for a home where he won’t have to worry about tons of visitors or a busy social calendar. The Only Pet: Benny is selective about his canine friends and would prefer to keep all of your affection to himself. He will thrive best as the king of his castle and the only pet in the home. An Understanding Handler for Walks: While he is confident at home, Benny can be anxious when he sees other dogs out on walks so continuing to work on his focus in these moments will be a great way to bond with him. If you are looking to share your home with an incredibly loyal, affectionate, and smart best friend, Benny is waiting to meet you!

Story
Meet Dahaeng! *Dahaeng is in Korea and will be coming to the U.S. once her adoption is confirmed. 🐶Rescue Story Dahaeng was found wandering around an apartment complex while pregnant. She later gave birth to six puppies near the apartment garden. Although she was wearing an old collar, her rescuer was unable to locate her previous owner. Dahaeng and her puppies were moved to a temporary foster space at an old factory site. Despite the difficult circumstances, she was a devoted mother who cared diligently for all six of her babies. Five of her puppies have since found loving homes. Dahaeng is now staying with her remaining son, Taeyang, while they each wait for a forever family. 💜Personality Dahaeng is a calm, gentle, and patient girl. She can be shy and reserved when meeting someone for the first time, but she begins to open up once she feels safe. She enjoys spending time with people and loves receiving gentle affection. When someone cuddles her lovingly, she relaxes and may even roll over to show her belly. Dahaeng is the kind of dog who forms a deep, trusting bond with the people who care for her. 💜Interaction With People Dahaeng enjoys human companionship and likes being cuddled. Although she may initially seem a little aloof, she becomes affectionate and comfortable once trust has been established. . 💜Interaction With Dogs Dahaeng is calm and well-mannered around other dogs. When she previously shared a backyard with another dog, she showed no aggression, respected the other dog’s boundaries, and lived peacefully alongside them. She also gets along very well with her son, Taeyang. 💜Interaction With Cats Dahaeng has not lived with cats, so her behavior around them is currently unknown. 💜Walking and Training Dahaeng enjoys calm walks where she can take her time sniffing and exploring. She does best in quiet, low-stimulation environments. She has experience living in both indoor and outdoor settings and is expected to adjust well to a consistent home routine. 💜Potty Training Dahaeng reliably uses designated potty pads indoors. With patience and a regular schedule, she is expected to transition quickly to outdoor potty training. 💜Barking Dahaeng is generally quiet and barks only occasionally. She may bark at unfamiliar noises when her rescuer is visiting, but she quickly settles when a trusted person is nearby. 💜Energy Level Dahaeng has a moderate energy level. She does not become overly excited and is happy to relax quietly indoors after enjoying her walks. 💜Ideal Home Dahaeng would thrive in a calm, peaceful home with a patient family who will give her the time and reassurance she needs to feel secure. In return, she will offer deep affection, trust, and loyal companionship. This sweet and devoted mother is ready to begin the next chapter of her life with a loving family of her own.

Story
Meet Penelope – the bravest cuddlebug you'll ever meet! Penelope is one of the sweetest souls we’ve ever rescued, and she’s finally ready to find her forever home. After enduring unimaginable trauma early in life, Penelope landed in a shelter where she was placed on the euthanasia list due to overcrowding. Thankfully, we were able to step in just in time and begin her journey to healing. During her initial veterinary assessment, we discovered something heartbreaking — Penelope was missing her tongue. We’ll never know exactly what happened, but from that moment on, it became our mission to help her heal, both physically and emotionally. Now, months later, Penelope is thriving in foster care and full of love to give. She adores people — especially kids! She loves following little ones around to see what they’re up to, and being a part of playtime is her favorite. She’s a total cuddlebug who wants nothing more than to snuggle up with her people. When she’s not curled up with you, she enjoys sunbathing in the yard or snoozing peacefully in her crate. Penelope is also a social butterfly with other dogs — both big and small! She lives with two canine foster siblings and absolutely lights up when friends come over for playdates. While she prefers the energy of larger dogs for more active play, she’s gentle and respectful with smaller pups, too. The only thing on her “no thanks” list? Cats. You might be wondering about her care needs — especially with her missing tongue. Thankfully, it’s very manageable! She eats “mini meatballs” twice a day and has made amazing progress, transforming from underweight and frail to strong, healthy, and absolutely beautiful. Penelope has shown us nothing but resilience, love, and joy — now it’s time for her to share all of that with a forever family.

Story
Adopt our sweet, handsome boy, Kiba! 🤍 Kiba is a 2.5-year-old Shepherd/Lab mix with the biggest heart and so much love to give. He was adopted from the shelter as a puppy, but through no fault of his own, was returned just before his first birthday extremely undersocialized and scared 💔💔 We knew he didn’t deserve to lose his life so we rescued him! Despite that difficult start, Kiba has absolutely blossomed in foster care and continues to prove what an incredible dog he is. Kiba is friendly with both people and other dogs, loves to play fetch, and is always up for an adventure. Once he’s gotten his energy out, he’s happiest curled up next to his people for cuddles and kisses. He’s fully potty trained, crate trained, great in the car, walks beautifully on leash, knows his basic commands, and is incredibly treat-motivated, which makes training even better! Like many dogs who’ve had an uncertain past, Kiba can be a little cautious in new environments. Loud noises can make him look to his people for reassurance, and he prefers to approach new people on his own terms rather than having strangers come right up to him. Give him a little time and encouragement, and you’ll quickly see his goofy, affectionate personality come to life. Kiba loves being with his people, but he’s also perfectly content relaxing at home while you’re away. We also think he’d thrive with another playful dog in the home to help build his confidence and keep him company. He’s the perfect mix of playful, loyal, and affectionate—and after everything he’s been through, he deserves the forever family he’s always been waiting for. 🤍 Apply to adopt Kiba at wishbonela.org 🦴
