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/

Story
Currently, Zemma is in Korea, but will fly to SF upon adoption. Background: Zemma was rescued this past summer from a city pound in Milyang, Korea through our Save 100 Dogs campaign. She has been staying at our boarding house since then and has been sharing space comfortably with other dogs. Personality and Socialization: Zemma is a gentle, social, and friendly girl with a calm and easygoing nature. Her energy level is moderate, and she gets along well with dogs of many different sizes. With people she is kind, affectionate, and warm. She is not shy around strangers and often walks up on her own to say hello at the shelter. She enjoys being close, loves attention, and is happy to relax beside her humans. She has no experience with cats. Behaviour: Zemma handles car rides, grooming, and bath time without trouble. She is still building confidence, but she stays calm and lets her person guide her through it. She likes going for walks and, although she sometimes stops to explore, she follows along nicely. She has been quiet, sweet, and attentive. She can use indoor pee pads when needed but also potties outdoors. She has not shown any destructive behaviors. Health and Diet: Zemma is fully vetted. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and kept on regular parasite prevention. She eats dry kibble and has no known allergies or special dietary needs. When she was rescued, she tested positive for Babesia and Hepatozoon from tick bites, but she completed her treatments and is now healthy and ready to join her forever family. Ideal Home: Zemma is a very lovely girl who is friendly, gentle, and playful. She gets along well with almost everyone thanks to her easygoing nature and good social skills. We hope to find a family who can spend plenty of time with their dog, so she is not left alone for long hours. A person or family who enjoys a dog companion and can include her in their daily life would be perfect for her. Whoever adopts Zemma will be truly lucky.

Story
Camper is ready to head home to 🇺🇸 Background: This handsome boy was rescued from a slaughterhouse in the summer of 2022 in Daegu, Korea. After his rescue, he lived in a local shelter for three years but couldn’t find a home in Korea. After hearing his story, we brought him to our boarding house, knowing that a loving family is waiting for him in North America. His forever home is out there, and he is ready to find it. Personality & Behavior: Camper is a wonderful Border Collie with a sweet and gentle personality. He has medium energy, much calmer than a typical Border Collie, making him well-mannered and easygoing. He is social and friendly, not shy around strangers, and he gets along beautifully with other dogs. Camper is never dominant or aggressive; he is always polite and affectionate. Among people at the shelter, he is one of the sweetest and most popular dogs, loved by volunteers for his friendly and gentle nature. Daily Life & Habits: Camper is well-behaved both indoors and outdoors. He goes potty outside and is easy to care for. He handles bath time and car ride well, and walks nicely on leash, though he sometimes gets excited by new sights during walks. He does not like being caged but has shown no signs of separation anxiety or destructive behavior. Camper is simply a sweet, well-mannered boy who makes life easy and enjoyable. Health & Diet: Camper has been on regular parasite prevention since his rescue and has had full veterinary checkups. He is dewormed, microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. He is healthy, happy, and ready for his forever home. Camper eats kibble twice a day and has shown no food allergies. Ideal Home: Camper is smart, quick to learn, and very sociable. He will thrive in a home that enjoys spending time outdoors. While he does not require excessive exercise like some Border Collies, he enjoys daily walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures. He will happily balance activity with relaxation and is a perfect companion for a family who loves to include their dog in their outdoor lifestyle. Whoever adopts Camper will be very lucky to have such a gentle, affectionate, and loyal friend. Become Camper's family through link below: https://www.freekoreandogs.org/dog/camper/

Story
This darling 12-pound, 1-year-old heartbreaker is guaranteed to steal your heart! Meet Oscar, an adorable, cocoa-colored pup bursting with happiness, energy, and sweetness. Though his former owner sadly couldn’t keep him, Oscar hasn’t missed a beat. He’s a total cuddle bug who’s thrilled at the idea of finding his forever family. Oscar has lived happily with other dogs and gets along great with both big and small pups. He hasn’t met cats just yet, but with his gentle, friendly nature, we think he’d be more than open to making some kitty friends. Kids? He loves them! Oscar would be perfectly content with a single adopter, a couple, or a family with children. This playful little guy is all about fun, and fetching balls and sticks is one of his favorite games! He’s crate trained, sleeps soundly through the night, knows all his basic commands (sit, stay, come, leave it), and enjoys leisurely neighborhood walks. Oscar is an all-around lovable little dude who seems to adore everyone he meets. He’s well-adjusted, ready for his next chapter, and waiting patiently for a family to call his own. If you’ve got room in your heart (and your home!) for this sweet boy, just let us know. Oscar is waiting just for you!
