Story

**We adopt our dogs to families within 50 miles of Grants Pass, Oregon. All applications are screened for compatibility with the dog of interest. We will ask for pictures of your home and yard. If you are interested in being considered as a potential adopter, please fill out our online application at: www.samsimonfoundation.org. Follow the tabs to 'dogs for adoption'. Kiko is a 16 pound, neutered male Shih Tzu, approximately 5 years old. He has a few 'special needs' so we are looking for an adopter that has experience with his breed and temperament. He can be feisty and he needs someone who can interpret his behavior for what it is and not be afraid of him. He truly can be sweet and cuddly and fun to be with. He just needs the right home where he feels safe and understood. He will need someone that can afford the extra expense of his dog food and grooming. He doesn't like being groomed or handled in that way and he will snap at anyone that tries to do those things. He will need a muzzle and possibly be sedated at the vet and the groomer. Kiko is very sweet and loyal and loves all people. He's confident in public places and loves going for car rides. He will bark excitedly at other dogs but we have worked on this and he is improving. He will need continued training to maintain these improvements. He doesn't like being left home alone so an adopter that is home most of the time would be best. He is selfish about his resources around other dogs, especially when it comes to squeaky toys and other items that he cherishes. For that reason, we are not going to place him in a home with other dogs nor children under age 10. He does share his toys well with adult humans. Kiko is healthy except for occasional crystals in his urine which, if left untreated, will lead to bladder/kidney stones and urinary tract infections. We keep his urinary tract healthy with a simple prescription diet designed for dogs with this tendency. He is currently eating a high-quality prescription diet for dogs with urinary issues from a company called Just Food For Dogs. This food is human quality food specially designed for dogs. It is an expensive food but the benefit of it is that he likes it and it is keeping him healthy. As a housebroken and well-mannered indoor companion, Kiko is ready to bring joy and companionship to his forever home. While he'd love a house with a yard, he's not suited for apartment or condo living. If you're looking for a loyal friend to share your life with, Kiko might be the perfect fit. With his loving personality and adaptable nature, he's sure to steal your heart. No one will ever love you more than Kiko!

Tori is clever, funny and has a lot of energy. She needs to exercise and loves to play fetch every day. She knows basic commands such as sit, stay, leave it. Slow introductions to other dogs is needed. She is very affectionate and enjoys tummy rubs. We can no longer care for Tori since there is a major family health issue. It would be best for her to be with an active family that would love her as much as we do.

She has the sweetest face and just needs some love. She was found with another dog we have been calling Bear (Male, healthy, neutered ~7 years old).

Story

Meet Otto! She is the sweetest most adorable girll! She is a 1 year old that was rescued from a kill shelter before heading to 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. Otto and some of her 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.
