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
Meet Cino ☕️ Just before entering Korean City Shelter, Cino was so sick that he was treated at a hospital with his siblings. Then one of them passed away, and he was rescued with the other siblings, Capu and Milk. • With People: Extremely affectionate and playful! He is not shy and readily approaches strangers, often initiating play. Loves to stay close to his favorite humans and seeks attention. • With Dogs: He is eager to make friends and often invites new dogs to play. However, if another dog approaches him too energetically, he gets a little overwhelmed and hides. • With Cats: He ignores calm, stationary cats but gets excited when they run around and may try to chase or play. • Separation Anxiety: Initially seeks out people, but quickly settles down by either sleeping or playing alone. • Potty Training: 99% success rate using potty pads indoors. Occasionally makes small mistakes, so continued training is needed. • Walking & Outdoor Behavior: Loves going on walks but is still adjusting to the outside world. Sits down briefly when he sees big dogs or tall people but quickly regains confidence. No leash pulling, prefers to walk at a relaxed pace and enjoys sniffing around. • Grooming & Hygiene: Dislikes water and the sound of the hairdryer, but stays calm during baths. Handles brushing and dental care well. Slightly sensitive about paw cleaning after walks and may playfully nibble in protest. • Car Sickness: No issues with car rides, handles travel well. 💌Special Notes💌 • As a young pup, Chino may still display separation anxiety, potty accidents, chewing, mouthing, whining, mischief, and barking, all of which require patience and training. • His shedding level and adult size are unpredictable due to the lack of information about his parents. • Learned Commands: • He has mastered “sit,” “wait,” and “lie down”—a smart little pup! • He always comes when called, even from out of sight. • He tends to eat too quickly, so slow-feeding techniques are recommended. 💙 Foster's Instagram: @smart__nana

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK💟 Meet Hongdan💘 Hongdan was found living in the Gimje Shelter under harsh conditions, which put her at high risk for contagious diseases. Concerns over her health and the potential for disease spread prompted her urgent rescue to provide her with a safer environment and necessary medical care. • With People: Hongdan has not had many positive experiences with people and is currently very fearful and wary. She tends to growl when making eye contact, using it as a defense mechanism. She needs a calm, patient environment and someone who can wait for her to make the first move. • With Dogs: She usually sniffs new dogs and then retreats to her own space. She can growl or bark if another dog comes too close, especially in one-on-one encounters. She seems more comfortable in group settings like shelters, where she can observe from a distance. • Separation Anxiety: She is independent and calm when left alone, usually resting quietly. • Potty Training: She is doing well with pee pad training and generally uses it reliably indoors. • Car Rides: Hongdan experiences motion sickness and tends to drool during car rides. 💌 Special Notes💌 • Upon first arriving at her foster home, Hongdan showed coprophagia (eating feces)—likely a stress response to the unfamiliar environment. With time and guidance, this is improving. • She is very fearful of both people and dogs, and may show defensive nipping if someone approaches or touches her too quickly. She requires a home that will give her time, space, and consistency. • She prefers strong-smelling treats, which she will take from your hand, but she only eats kibble when no one is watching. • She feels safest in her kennel, which she recognizes as her own space, and she often rests peacefully inside. ❗Health Status❗ Tested negative for heartworm
