Story

I’m smart, loving and affectionate. Also a great travel and activity companion. I’m being fostered, which is why I am looking for a permanent home. I was born in a rescue and didn’t get much attention. I’m a little bit of an anxious guy at first due to my chaotic upbringing and lack of care, but I am a good boy, with a big heart, and a gentle soul. I play with everyone at dog day camp. I enjoy running, fetch, and any type of squeaky toy. It’s best that I live in an active home with at least two people because I thrive on attention. I’m fully grown at 3 yrs old, and weigh about 55 pounds (treats are my weakness). I’m snuggly and crave the warmth of a human body. I don’t guard my food. I’ve had individual and group training so I am housebroken, neat and good on walks. I always find the best spots to curl into, esp if there’s a human around. I’m comfortable in my crate, which is cozy and safe. If you adopt me I will love you unconditionally, I promise.

Story

Simba is from Greece. He has been with us since he is 3 months old. He is going to be 12 in May. He has been a huge part of our family but in the past 6 months has started to have a barking problem. He has been on xanex and it helps sometimes. I think it may be triggered by our 1.5 year old daughter. I am having a baby in April and we will not be able to keep a barking dog in the house. He is not aggressive, has never biten or even tried to bite but he is an anxious dog and I believe that is part of his barking problem. We are very sad to let Simba go, but we think we need to. We hope to find a very loving home for him.

Story

Meet Mallow :) Mallow is a mixed breed, likely a blend of Retriever and Jindo. He currently weighs about 51 lbs. He entered a city shelter when he was around two years old. It's believed he was abandoned because he was highly excitable and barked a lot at the time. I rescued him just one day before his scheduled euthanasia. At that time, he was heartworm positive. Fortunately, he has now completed his treatment and been fully cured! After more than six months of consistent training, Mallow has transformed into a gentle and wonderful dog. He has great leash manners and absolutely adores people, showering them with affection. Mallow also gets along very well with other dogs. However, he can be a bit jealous, so we hope he can find a forever home where he can be the only pet. Fluffy and pure white like a marshmallow, Mallow will make a truly perfect companion. 🐾 Mallow is currently staying at a training center in South Korea, waiting patiently for his forever family. Once he finds an adoptive family, he can travel anywhere across the United States. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and has even completed a full dental cleaning!

Story

Meet Ella – A Gentle Soul with a Brave Heart 📍 Currently in foster home in Korea 🐶 Name: Ella 🎂 Birthdate: February 16, 2024 ⚖️ Weight: 18 lbs (8.15 kg) 🐾 Breed: Mixed 💩 Housebroken: 99% outdoor, 100% on pee pad indoors Ella may be small in size, but she holds a whole universe of love in her quiet heart. Rescued with her mom and siblings after wandering the streets of Korea, she now lives peacefully in a loving foster home, where she's learning that the world can be kind. At home, Ella is calm and gentle. She finds her joy in simply being near her people — a quiet presence at your feet, a warm curl beside you during rest. She may be shy at first, especially around strangers or children who approach too quickly, but it’s only because her protective instincts are strong. Give her a little time, and her trust begins to blossom. She gets along well with other dogs, especially friendly males, and loves to play when she's comfortable — zoomies and gentle wrestling matches are her favorite ways to show joy. She’s still unsure about cats, often choosing to keep her distance. Ella is fully pee pad trained indoors and prefers going potty outside. She doesn’t have separation anxiety and doesn't bark excessively, except for the occasional warning bark if she feels her people need protecting. She’s the kind of companion who watches you quietly with loyal eyes and follows you not for attention, but for comfort. Ella would do best in a calm, patient home with a family that understands shy dogs and is willing to give her time to adjust. She may never be the life of the party, but she will be your heart’s softest echo — steady, loyal, and always there. ✨ She’s not just looking for a home. She’s looking for a place where she can feel safe, loved, and understood. Could that be with you? 📩 Apply to adopt Ella through [3ft Rescue].
