Meet Maggie, A Wonder Woman Wearing a Catwoman Mask 🐶 Once a volunteer accidently dropped her leash and let her run away. Within minutes, Maggie returned on her own and gave the volunteer a big hug. She even brought a stick as a peace offering. It is amazing to see Maggie still has complete faith in humanity despite of surviving from Mass Dog Slaughterhouse. Maggie will love you whether you live in a little trailer or a big house. No matter what kind of mood you are in, Maggie can always make you smile. Can you be a special someone to give Maggie a home?

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet Dooly🦕 (It's famous Korean dinosaur character name) 💙 Adogs Updates Account: @_adogs_ ​1️⃣ Health Condition ​Neutered. ​Microchipped.​2️⃣ Rescue Story* ​Dooly spent his puppyhood at the Gimje Shelter with his siblings, #AdogsDonor and #AdogsTtochi, after being found without their mother. When Adogs staff visited the shelter, they were so moved by the puppies wagging their tails that they decided to rescue the entire litter.​3️⃣ Basic Information* ​With People: Is curious about humans but quite timid, so he doesn't usually approach first. Please approach him slowly, as sudden movements may startle him. Shows curiosity and sniffs people who are sitting or have their backs turned. Occasionally, he will come close on his own to take treats.* ​With Dogs: Gets along well with his friends at the center. Rather than playing energetically, he prefers to relax and rest. Sometimes mouths at other friends as if giving them a warning if there are treats around. With Cats: Watches and tries to chase cats. However, during walks, he is usually too tense to chase them even if he sees one. ​Separation Anxiety: Unknown, as he is currently living in a group environment. May require training when transitioning to a home life.* ​Potty Training: Currently only relieves himself outdoors. Exhibits marking behavior during walks and outdoor time.* ​Hygiene: Tends to avoid physical touch, so we are working on this very slowly and patiently.* ​Walks: Thanks to training at a school and consistent walks with volunteers, he walks very well. However, because he is easily startled, a double-leash is mandatory for safety. Tends to pull slightly to maintain distance from the person walking him. May try to dart away if startled by people or passing cars.* ​Biting: May show mouthing or snapping behavior if forced to do something against his will.* ​Barking: Rarely barks.* ​Likes: Loves treats! Will come close to people to accept a tasty snack.* ​Dislikes: Is still uncomfortable with physical touch and prefer not to be petted for now.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟 Meet Dorang❤️ 💙 Update Account: @adogs ​ 1️⃣ Health Status * ​Spayed:: Completed. * ​Others: Microchipped, heartworm treatment completed, and scaling (Dental cleaning) completed. 2️⃣ Rescue Story * ​Dorang was rescued from a dog meat farm in Gunsan along with her friends Dodam and Dodo. After witnessing the cruel deaths of her companions every day, Dorang shed continuous tears of relief the moment she was finally rescued. ​3️⃣ Characteristics * With ​People: Is still wary of strangers and tends to bark, but is gradually opening her heart. While she shows curiosity and allows some touch from new people, caution is required as she may nip. With familiar people, she enjoys physical affection. Once she trusts you, she allows you to touch her anywhere.Wags her tail when making eye contact and shows her belly for rubs! * With ​Dogs: Gets along very well with other dogs and especially loves puppies. * With ​Cats: Doesn't pay much attention to cats. * ​Separation Anxiety: Difficult to determine accurately due to the center environment, but she has shown no signs of anxiety so far. * ​Potty Training: Uses pads well indoors and also enjoys outdoor potty breaks. * ​Grooming: Stays calm during brushing. Needs to wear a recovery collar (cone) when having her nails clipped. * ​Walking: Walks excellently without pulling on the leash. * ​Car Sickness: None. She rests comfortably during car rides. * ​Nipping/Biting: May nip if a stranger turns their back to her due to fear. Might accept pets from strangers but suddenly nip during the interaction. ​If her tail is fully up, she is generally receptive to touch; if her tail is even slightly lowered, she may nip. ​Even while showing affection (like licking/kisses), she may nip without warning. ​With familiar people, she may give a "warning nip" (feels like a pinch) if they do something she dislikes. * ​Barking: Barks at strangers out of fear and defensiveness. * ​Likes: Absolutely loves going for walks! * ​Dislikes: Is frightened by loud noises or sudden, large movements.

Story
Meet Bella❤️ Bella was rescued from a mass dog slaughter house. She had stayed in a floating iron cage for a long time so the patellas of her hind legs are not good. But she wasn't properly cared for, so her legs solidified. Byt she can walk and run well! Regardless of her harsh past, she's very good with people and other dogs👍

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet Yooah💞 💙 Adogs Updates Account: @_adogs_ 1.) Health Condition Spayed. Microchipped, and completely recovered from heartworm.2.) Rescue Story Yooah was brought to the Gimje City Shelter with her puppies, all in poor health. Yooah suffered from a severe skin condition that weakened her, and unfortunately, some of her puppies passed away. With the harsh winter approaching, Yooah and her remaining puppies were urgently rescued.3.) Basic Information With People: Is still getting used to human interaction and finds it challenging to accept touch or approaches. Patience is crucial as she slowly learns to trust and becomes comfortable around people. With familiar people, she approaches first to sniff them and accepts treats. Still flinches when being touched. With Dogs: When first meeting other dogs, she shows a little bit of interest but isn’t proactive in engaging with them. If their energy levels are similar, she sometimes plays with other dogs. Used to be a bit wary of a few dogs at our center, but she hasn’t growled or shown any aggression towards other dogs recently. Gets along especially well with White at Adogs. With Cats: Not confirmed as she hasn't encountered them yet. Separation Anxiety: Not confirmed yet as she currently lives in a group setting at our center. Potty Training: Does only pottying outdoors at our center. Hygiene: Has only experienced brushing. Was scared, but docile and took to it well. Walks: Is wary of new places, making walks difficult. We're taking it step by step, starting with practicing walking on a leash. Car Sickness: Not confirmed yet, but she has no motion sickness for short car rides. Is a completely scaredy-cat, and has never bitten people. Has one single experience of nipping at another dog and no nipping after that. Frequently barks outdoors or in kennel but stops it when she sees people. If other dogs bark at her, she barks back. Still feels uncomfortable with touching since she’s scared of people, but she has gotten a lot better and sometimes even approaches first and accepts treats.
