Story
**COURTESY REHOMING POST** Lupin is not a CACC dog. We have not met him nor evaluated him and can't attest to his health or temperament. Please use the contact information listed to reach out and learn more. Meet Lupin, a two-year-old Shepherd mix and Koda’s little brother. He’s as sweet as they come—a goofy, playful pup who adores his squeaky toys, games of fetch, and keep-away. He’s never known life without Koda, so these two need to stay together if possible, and honestly, they make the perfect pair! Lupin has a big heart and a joyful spirit. He’s great with kids, loves other dogs, and is always so happy to meet new people. When he’s not bouncing around with his toys or egging Koda on for another round of play, he’s perfectly content being a couch potato, snuggling up close for cuddles. Together, they’re a dynamic duo full of love and comfort for each other—and for their people. Lupin is also wonderfully food-motivated, which makes him easy (and fun!) to train. He’s crate trained (during the day), fully house trained, neutered, and up to date on all his vaccinations. Play time with Lupin means zoomies, chasing balls, and plenty of laughs. At the end of the day, he’s all sweetness and love, waiting to snuggle in. Lupin and Koda are a ready-made pair of joy just waiting to bring love, laughter, and adventure to their forever family. If you’re ready for double the fun and twice the cuddles, these two darling boys can’t wait to meet you! For more information, please contact Charlotte at ctmstary@yahoo.com

Story
**Note: Ohoh is currently in Korea, but he will fly to San Francisco once adopted. Background Ohoh’s life hasn’t been easy. As a tiny puppy, he was found wandering in an apartment complex in Wanju, Korea. He was sent to a city pound, where he spent the next five years chained in a poor shelter with little comfort or care. This summer, Ohoh finally came to us and has been living at our boarding house, where he is safe and loved while waiting for his forever family. Personality & Socialization Ohoh is a gentle, sweet, and loyal boy with a calm, easygoing nature. He has medium energy, happy to go for walks and spend time with people, but also content to relax quietly by your side. He’s very friendly with people, both men and women, and loves being close to his humans. When it comes to other dogs, Ohoh gets along well with gentle, friendly, and well-mannered dogs. He does not do well with overly bossy, dominant, or hyper dogs. Behaviour Ohoh is well-behaved, obedient, and very smart. He bonds strongly with people and follows their lead easily. He rides calmly in the car, tolerates bath time, and is cooperative at the vet. He walks nicely on a leash, enjoys outdoor potty breaks, and is quiet indoors. We’ve rarely heard him bark. With a little training, Ohoh will blossom into a wonderful lifelong companion. Health & Diet Ohoh is neutered, microchipped, and fully up to date on his vaccines. He is dewormed and on monthly parasite prevention. When first rescued, he was treated for anaplasmosis, and he has since made a full recovery. He’s in good health and ready for his forever home. Ohoh eats dry kibble twice a day and has shown no allergies. Ideal Home Ohoh will thrive with a family looking for a calm, gentle, and loyal companion. He gets along well with other gentle, quiet, and well-mannered dogs, but he would be happiest as the only dog in a calm home. A quiet, relaxed lifestyle where he can soak up love and attention from his humans would be perfect for him. Ohoh is an easygoing and affectionate boy who simply wants to be by your side. Whoever adopts him will be very lucky. -------------------------------- For more info about the dog or adoption application, please follow the link below. https://www.freekoreandogs.org/dog/ohoh/

Health and Diet Hana is spayed and up to date on her vaccines. She has been dewormed and is on regular parasite prevention. She eats kibble well and has shown no food sensitivities. When she was rescued, she had Hepatozoon from an infected tick, but she completed her treatment and is now healthy and ready for her forever home. Ideal Home Hana is a sweet, gentle, social, and easygoing girl who will make a wonderful companion. She still has a little learning to do, but her friendly and eager to please nature makes her a joy to guide. She would be a great match for many families looking for a loving companion. A home where someone is around often would be best, as she enjoys quiet company and shared time with her people. --------------------------- For more info about the dog or the adoption application, please follow the link below. https://www.freekoreandogs.org/dog/hana-5/

Story
Hello! Please meet Mickey, he has an incredible story! Our organization has been rescuing and rehabilitating street dogs in Ukraine since 2018, 4 years before the full-scale invasion. Now since the war started we rescue a lot of animal victims of the war. Mickey is from Bakhmut (a Ukrainian city that was almost destroyed.) Mickey was found by Ukrainian soldiers in the rubble of the apartment building where he lived. He was orphaned and huddled underneath a stove. A soldier contacted our shelter in Kyiv, and Mickey was sent out of the war zone and eventually made his way to Pacifica, CA! Mickey is a playful, gentle, incredibly good-natured dog. Mickey sleeps in the bed with a 5 year old girl in his foster family. Mickey can get very rambuctious and has a unique habit of jumping very high in the air when he is excited. For this reason, we think Mickey would be best in a home with children over the age of 5. Mickey is toilet trained and leash trained. He is neutered and is current on all of his vaccinations. Per CDC requirements, Mickey was quarantined for 10 days upon his arrival to the USA and during that time received a Rabies vaccination in the USA. He also tested negative for heartworm in the USA. The veterinarian in Ukraine determined that Mickey was 6 years old from his teeth, but that can be incorrect. We suspect that he is younger because he still has a lot of energy. He also can chew sometimes, but has not chewed a personal item in a long time since we trained him to chew digestible bones. He gets along well with people, is affectionate and gentle with children, although he can get very excited and play too hard for small children. Friendly with other dogs. Mickey can easily be the second or even third dog because he is non-conflict and ready to give in. He does not strive to lead. He tried to chase the cats at our shelter and is not recommended for cats. Mickey currently lives in a family home in Pacifica with 5 year old and 6 year old children and 2 other dogs. Please contact us if you want to make Mickey part of your family!
