Story
Meet Flora! This one-year-old, 14-pound pug/terrier mix is pure delight! While she has experienced several re-homing’s from her beginning in a high-Kill shelter in Norman, Oklahoma, she has remained loving and resilient. She absolutely adores people and forms strong bonds with her person. Her happiest place is right by your side, whether that’s on the couch, following you from room to room, or simply being near. Because of her past, she does experience some home alone stress and may need patience and reassurance as she learns that her person will always come back. With time, routine, and gentle support, she has the ability to build confidence and feel safe when left alone. She enjoys the company of other dogs but would best prefer to be the center of attention in a home where she can soak up all the love. Enjoy dog training? Flora has been learning new tricks including how to alert someone with hearing loss to sounds such as a door knock or digital timer. This little girl has so much potential to be a truly devoted, lifelong companion. What she needs most is a stable, understanding home willing to give her the consistency and reassurance she’s been missing. In return, she will offer endless affection, loyalty, and companionship. If you’re looking for a loving shadow who wants nothing more than to be your constant companion, she may be the perfect match—and ready to finally find her forever home. 🐾💗 Ready to Adopt? Flora resides with her trainer in Florence, Oregon. If you’re prepared to provide Flora with a loving, forever home and live in Oregon, please submit your adoption application with us: https://www.ssfdogs.org/dogs-for-adoption/. Our team will be delighted to discuss details further.

Story
Meet Jaerongl! He is the sweetest boyl! He is a 6 month old that was rescued from a dog meat farm in South Korea.  We have partners we work with there that pull these dogs from the worst horrors imaginable.  Many of these dogs start off in horiffic puppy mill type facilities on tiny rabbit cage size wire crates in complete filth.  If they are not sold at 6 or 8 weeks then they either stay for a couple years to be used to breed more and then are sold off to the meat trade, or they are sold off right away.  Jindo's and Tosa's are the most common meat type dogs, and are very commonly bred specifically for their meat and the meat farms also act as breeding farms until they reach a good age and weight. South Korea is one of the only countries that actually farms dogs for their meat.   Restaurants will serve a dish called " bosintang ", which stands for "dog meat soup". It's a popular dish in South  Korea,  and is said to act as an aphrodisiac for men.    Little dogs are used for elixirs and potions.  The younger generation is mostly against this practice and many choose to not eat them, and we can only hope in time with education and generations of change that an end will come to this horrific trade.  Jaerong and some of his family and friends have been flown here for a chance at a future and a real life.  These are miracle dogs that they are alive today.  Our adoption fee is $600 which helps offset some of the flight costs.  If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application form at  https://form.jotform.com/oscarlucy/dog-adoption-app March 10, 2026, 8:30 pm

Story
Meet Dexter!  Such a fun loving affectionate boy!! Dexter is a 5-6 month old Retriever mix. Dexter was rescued out of the Lancaster shelter to make room for a large influx of dogs coming in from a hoarding case in Lake Hughes, CA.  Sadly over 250 dogs were pulled from this home and they all needed to filter into the LA County shelter system, with Lancaster taking a large amount.  All the dogs already at the shelters were in jeopardy due to space.  Dexter is now safe, happy and loved while waiting for his forever family to find him.   If you are interested in adopting, please go to our website and fill out an online application form.  https://form.jotform.com/oscarlucy/dog-adoption-app     April 13, 2026, 4:46 pm
