Story
Hi, Loki is a sweet boy. Loves to cuddle and extremely down to earth. Definitely one of the easiest Border Collies to raise. He loves to play fetch and remains calm at home. Gets along with humans and other dogs without any issues. Has no aggression issues except he will bark when someone knocks on the door. If you are looking for a handsome border collie who isn’t disruptive and loves a low maintenance profile, then he is the perfect companion. He is extremely obedient, loyal and loves cuddles. Literally will cuddle with you all day. It’s also extremely rare that he dosent show his teeth at home or outside. Perfect for homes with other children. Unfortunately due to relocating into a small apartment with other animals. We will not have the space, time or physical capabilities to take care of him. He deserves a loving family who can reciprocate all the love he gives.

Story
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&EAR💟 Meet Maesil❤️ Maesil was brought to the Jeonju City Shelter, but her health quickly deteriorated. When the Adogs team visited a hospital, they found Maesil too weak to stand. She was in urgent need of care, so they rescued her immediately. * With People: Is shy around strangers. Sniffs when someone unfamiliar enters her space but runs away if they give her attention. However, once she gets to know you, she becomes affectionate, wagging her tail and asking for cuddles. * With Dogs: Likes canine friends so much that she sometimes misunderstands their barking of hate as signs of favor. Tends to like playing tag with friends. * With Cats: Does well with cats. Approaches and wants to play, as if they were dogs. * Separation Anxiety: Is independent and can be left alone without issues. Mostly spends her time sleeping or wandering around the home carrying around a toy. Also stays well with another dog when her guardian is away. * Potty Training: Fully trained to use pee pads indoors! Has a slight preference for outdoor potty. * Hygiene: Walks around in the shower booth, but she gets through baths. Must be held when drying her fur since she’s afraid of blow dryers. Does well with brushing and nail trimming. * Walks: Has improved a lot for leash pulling. However, becomes anxious when she hears loud noises from cars or motorcycles pass by. Likes birds and tries to chase them during walks, but quickly comes back and walks normally. Does well in familiar places but is still uncomfortable with new places. Is being introduced to a wider range of walking spots gradually. * Car Sickness: No symptoms of motion sickness anymore! Is scared if put into a toddler’s car seat. 💌Special Notes💌 * As a puppy, she may need training in areas such as separation anxiety, potty habits, biting, nipping, whining, disorderly behaviors, howling, and barking. * It is difficult to predict her hair loss and growth size because her parents are unknown. * Has already mastered several commands such as “sit,” "left paw," "right paw" and "lie down." * Has a timid personality. May bare her teeth or slightly nip in scary situations like getting shots at the vet’s. * Is teething so she likes biting wood sticks and frequently carries toys around. * Has a strong appetite, so when other dogs approach while she’s eating, she growls and becomes defensive. Needs to be fed separately from other dogs. * Barks at external noises, so she is taking training. * Tends to eat quickly, so she’s currently using a slow feeder. * May get startled by loud noises like the sound of suitcases or carts being pulled, or when objects fall. * Stays calm and well-behaved inside a travel bag. 💙 Foster's Instagram: @_adogs_maesil

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟 Meet Bono💖 Bono was rescued from the Gimje City Shelter. She could have been on the euthanasia list because the shelter exceeded the space for its accomadation. She was exposed to the poor conditions there and contracted heartworms, but is recovering her health. * With People: Loves people but is not much energetic, so doesn't react actively to strangers. Is gentle and easily accepts being touched by strangers, though. Is not the type to show a flowing charms to people but tends to be or follow around the people she likes. Even sleeps on her back besides those whom she fully adapts and trusts. * With Dogs: Got along well with other dogs at our center. Is indifferent to the dogs she first met at the animal clinic and occasionally just looks at them! * Separation Anxiety: Has never been alone long time but waits calmly with her quiet personality. * Potty Training: Is perfect in indoor potty. * Hygiene: Doesn't like bathing but tolerates it calmly once it starts. Accepts brushing well even while dozing. * Walks: Wasn’t used to walking, but with consistent training, she has now improved successfully! Is scared and freezes up at the beginning of the walk. However, leaps shortlt and walks well in step gradually. * Car Sickness: Used to get car sick. However recently, has traveled quietly and calmly for a two-hour drive without any motion sickness! 💌Special Notes💌 * Has rapidly learned and mastered personal skills of "sit" and "paw." * Has a quiet and gentle personality! Is timid but smart, quickly picking up on situations through observation. Once getting used to her surroundings and people, she also shows a lively side. ❗Health Condition❗ * Microchipped and heartworm recheck scheduled in June 2025. * Was diagnosed with chronic pulmonary fibrosis but treatment was completed. Constant management is required though. 💙Forster's IG : @pompombono

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👍
