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
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👍

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟 Meet Harry⚡ 💙 Adogs Center Account: @_adogs_everyday 1.) Health Condition * Neutered: Complete. * Others: Microchipped, will be retested for bladder stones in January 2026. * Is allergic to chicken (causes itching on the back of ears.) * Received surgery to remove bladder stones. The stones were made up of calcium oxalate, which have a high chance of recurrence. Therefore, consistent care and management is required. * His ear infection is almost cleared up and only requires one type of ear drops now. There’s still some bacteria on his skin but it’s not severe. He’s getting medicated baths once or twice a week. 2.) Rescue Story * Harry came to the city shelter together with his mother, Gahui. They were both adopted through Adogs in 2021 after overcoming a difficult past. Unfortunately, four years later, they have been returned and are now looking for a new family again. 3.) Personality & Habits * With People: Gets scared when strangers reach out their hands. However, if you give him time, he will come up to sniff you and enjoys sticking close to people. Even shows cute affection to those who he’s opened his heart to. Used to live well with a human baby and showed good manners around children. * With Dogs: Lived peacefully with his mother Gahui. Becomes overly excited and wants to jump out of his dog stroller when he sees new dogs because he wants to get closer. * With Cats: Stared at cats when outside in his stroller. * Separation Anxiety: Has rarely been left completely alone, as he is used to staying with a doggy roommate. Tends to rely on other dogs. Doesn’t have any separation anxiety and actually becomes more nervous if other dogs cause trouble without people around. * House Training: Fully house-trained for both indoor and outdoor potty. * Walking on Leash: Walks very well on leash and is patient, waiting for the other dog when out for walks together. May pull slightly when he needs to potty urgently. * Hygiene/Grooming: Accepts baths well on an anti-slip mat. Tends to bite his own toenails, so his nail length should be carefully managed. * Car Sickness: No car sickness. Very calm and well-behaved in the car. * Biting: Doesn’t bite. * Barking: Tends to have a little bit of barking or whining when he wants something. * Likes : Likes soft and fluffy surfaces! * Dislike: Is scared of walking on slippery surfaces like tiles or marble.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟 Meet Dorang❤️ 💙 Adogs News Account: @_adogs_ 1⃣ Health Condition * Spayed. * Microchipped, heartworm to be retested in December 2025, and dental scaling completed. Currently being treated for Malassezia in the ear. 2⃣ Rescue Story * Dorang was rescued from a dogslaughter farm in Gunsan along with #AdogsDodam and #AdogsDodo. She lived in constant fear, witnessing her friends being put down one by one. When finally rescued, Dorang quietly shed tears as if releasing all the fear she had endured. 3⃣ Basic Information * With People: Due to past trauma, she is very cautious around strangers and fears them. It would be better to allow her to have her own time until she gets trust with people than approaching her first. Allows touch on all parts of her body when people she trusts try to do. Is so affectionate that she wags her tail and shows her belly to be petted when making eye contact. * With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs at our center, particularly good with puppies. * With Cats: Doesn’t care that much about cats when seeing them. * Separation Anxiety: Unknown, as she currently lives in a group setting at our center. Doesn’t show any symptom of separation anxiety so far. * Potty Training: Uses pee pads well indoors and is also comfortable with outdoor potty. * Walks: Enjoys walking without pulling on the leash. * Hygiene: Accepts brushing well and needs a neck collar when she has toenails trimmed. * Car Sickness: Rests comfortably in the moving car without motion sickness. * Is impossible for strangers to touch her. Sometimes nips as a defessive sign at even familiar people when they do something she does not like, while touching her. * Is scared of and barks defensively at strangers.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟 Meet Nacho🌮 1️⃣ Health Condition * Spayed. * Microchipped, and fully recovered from heartworm. 2️⃣ Rescue Story * Nacho was rescued from a dog meat farm in Gongdeok, Gimje, just moments before slaughter. She had witnessed many of her friends being taken away in front of her eyes, which left her deeply afraid of people. When she first met the Adogs staff and volunteers, she was frozen in fear. But over time, Nacho has started to trust and follow humans. 3️⃣ Basic Information * With People: Is still a bit afraid of people. Has improved a lot and now approaches familiar people, gently licking their hands and even nudging them with her nose if they have treats. However, she tends to avoid being touched and doesn’t particularly enjoy physical contact. Accepts being touched when cornered, but she shows a slight sign of tension. * With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs. While she doesn’t actively show interest first, she enjoys running and playing with friends outdoors. During walks, she may show curiosity when another dog approaches, but if the other dog shows aggression, she lowers her body and avoids confrontation. * With Cats: When encountering cats during walks, she simply observes quietly without reacting. * Separation Anxiety: Is fine being alone and rests comfortably. * Potty Training: Never goes to the bathroom indoors and always holds it in, so she must be given outdoor potty breaks. * Hygiene: Stays calm during baths and brushing. However, she's terrified of the sound of the dryer and runs away even when she hears it. * Walks: Is on the timid side and has limited experience with walks. Will need proper training after building enough trust with her guardian. Always use a double leash when taking her out for walks. * Car Sickness: Rides well in the car, even on long trips over an hour without signs of motion sickness. * Likes playing with balls. * Is scared of loud noises like vacuum cleaners and washing machines. During walks, she has shown fear of bicycles and elderly women, even trembling in fear.
