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
If there ever was a dog who needed human kindness and love, it is Ziggy. Ten-year-old Ziggy, a Poodle/Bichon mix, has spent much of his life being overlooked and neglected. When no other rescue was willing to step forward, CACC opened its doors, and its heart, to this deserving little dog. Years of neglect took a devastating toll. Ziggy lost his vision, most of his teeth, and faced several other medical challenges. Yet somehow, the hardships he endured never dimmed his sweet spirit. He still greets each day with trust, a wagging tail, and a heart full of love. After everything he has been through, Ziggy still chooses joy. He is a beautiful reminder of the resilience of dogs. Despite the difficult life he has known, Ziggy remains a gentle, affectionate soul who enjoys the company of people, other dogs, and likely even cats. He can be silly, playful, and even mischievous at times. Most of all, he loves being close to his people and sharing the simple happiness of everyday life. Ziggy adores curling up in a warm lap and is happiest when he";s simply included in whatever you're doing. He has learned to navigate the world without sight and adapts remarkably well to new environments. Once he learns the layout of a home, he moves around with surprising confidence, happily trotting toward the sound of a familiar voice. Blindness doesn"t define Ziggy; it is simply one small part of who he is. Fully potty trained, Ziggy sleeps soundly through the night in his x-pen without needing a potty break. Even more amazing, he is a very low-maintenance companion who requires only minimal accommodations for his blindness. His future family will simply need to help him gradually explore the outdoors and, most importantly, shower him with the love and affection he has gone without for far too long. These days, Ziggy finds joy in life's simplest pleasures: a tasty treat, a gentle cuddle, sniffing around the yard, or stretching out for a nap in a sunny spot. He doesn't need grand adventures or endless activity. What he longs for is a safe home, a soft bed, and someone whose voice he can learn by heart. For most of his life, Ziggy has known what it feels like to be unwanted. We want his next chapter to be different. We want him to know what it means to be cherished, protected, and deeply loved. What Ziggy wants most now is simple: comfort, companionship, and a family to call his own. In return, he offers the kind of devotion that only a grateful old soul can give. Though he cannot see the people who love him, he feels their kindness completely. If you have room in your heart for this extraordinary little dog, please let us know. Opening your home to Ziggy may be one of the most meaningful acts of kindness you'll ever make, and one of the most rewarding. Some dogs leave paw prints on your floor. Dogs like Ziggy leave paw prints on your heart forever.

Story
Meet Carolina Reaper: The Ultimate Low-Key Loyal Companion If you’re looking for a professional napper and a fiercely loyal best friend, Carolina Reaper is your girl. Don’t let the "spicy" name fool you—she is 90% sugar and 10% heat, as long as there’s a couch involved! Her Vibe: Carolina is a "thinker" with a heart of gold. She is a couch potato through and through. While some dogs want to hike for miles, Carolina prefers a quick trip to the yard to do her business before heading right back inside to reclaim her spot on the sofa. She is incredibly affectionate and truly believes she is a lap dog, often climbing right into your lap for snuggles. The Routine Queen: Carolina thrives on a schedule. If you like predictability, she’s your gal: 7:00 AM: Potty, breakfast, a little playtime, and then a morning nap. 12:00 PM: Nap time continues, ideally with a favorite bone to chew on. 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM: Potty break, some light play, another bone session, and then settling in for the night. Her "Perfect Match": Loyalty: Carolina is deeply loyal to "her" person. She is looking for a human who will be just as dedicated to her as she is to them. Home Environment: She prefers a home where she can be the center of attention or live with a canine sibling who matches her mellow energy. Cats: No thank you! Carolina finds chasing cats a bit too much fun, so a feline-free home is a must. Visitors: She can be reactive to new faces. Her ideal family is one comfortable using a crate in a different room when guests arrive, allowing her to feel safe and secure until she gets used to the company. Crate Manners: She is a pro in her crate! She never cries or barks unless she genuinely needs to go outside. The Bottom Line: Carolina is a stunning brown and white sweetheart who catches on to new things in a heartbeat. She just wants a quiet life, a soft lap, and someone to love forever. ##2667441##

Story
Sweet little Jazz hasn’t always known the happiness her name promises. When she lost her family and suddenly found herself alone, her world became quiet, confusing, and lonely. But thanks to the kindness of caring people who refused to let her story end that way, Jazz has been given a second chance, and she’s embracing it with her whole heart. Now, this spunky little Parson Russell Terrier mix is discovering just how beautiful life can be. With each passing day, her happy, affectionate spirit shines brighter. She greets the world with joy, bounding over with kisses and cuddles, eager to share every ounce of love she has to give. It’s impossible not to smile when Jazz is near. Her resilience and zest for life are truly inspiring.She gets along well with other dogs and would happily join a multi- dog home. Friendly and outgoing, she has a sweet, sassy personality and a big heart, often expressed through enthusiastic little smooches. More than anything, Jazz longs to belong again. She dreams of a home where she can be cherished, whether with a single adopter, a couple, or a family with older kids who can match her playful, loving energy. From neighborhood strolls to weekend adventures, or simply curling up after a day well spent, Jazz wants nothing more than to be by your side. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a joyful spirit, a resilient heart, and so much love to give, Jazz is ready to fill your life with laughter, warmth, and endless affection. All she needs now is someone to give her the forever home she’s been waiting for.
