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
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 Guma🧡 💙 Guma’s News Account: @ganadi_imbo 1. Health Condition * Spayed. * Microchipped, and heartworm retest is scheduled in Feb. 2026. * Canine teeth are worn out, so you need to be careful by preventing her from chewing hard things such as wood sticks or bone snacks. 2. Rescue Story * Guma was staying at the Gimje City Shelter on a hot summer day with other dogs. Just before the heat wave and monsoon season hit, she was urgently rescued. She stood out for her strong attachment to people and her desperate longing for affection. 3. Basic Information * With People: Although initially shy with strangers, she quickly opens up and enjoys being adored. Stays still and enjoys gentle petting. Recently, has started approaching guests on her own and is comfortable being with them even without her guardian. Was a bit awkward on the first day she met her guardians, but from the next day, she greeted them excitedly with a wagging tail and follows when called. Recently, when an acquaintance of the guardian took charge of her for a few days, she got along very well with them and learned the dog tricks. * With Dogs: Wags her tail but seems to feel awkward when she encounters other dogs. * With Cats: Stared at cats when she encountered them. Followed the instruction right away when the guardian asked her to go. * Separation Anxiety: Plays and sleeps well on her own without barking or whining. Seems to enjoy her alone time. Still, when her guardian comes home late, she softly grumbles and makes little woo-woo sounds to express herself. Due to her tendency to defecate outdoors only, her guardian is taking her for a walk during lunch time or going to work together with her to avoid her alone time as much as possible. * Potty Training: Does outdoor potty. Goes out for walk three times a day for the potty purpose. * Hygiene: Is calm and well-behaved during baths, drying, brushing, nail trimming and tooth brushing. * Walks: Pulls a bit on the leash when she is in a hurry to go to the grass for defecation or wants to approach other dogs during walks. In seeing a bicycle or a motorcycle, sometimes tries to chase it. * Car Sickness: Vomited from nervousness on her first car ride to the foster home. Since then, however, she’s been much more relaxed during rides with her guardian and hasn't shown signs of motion sickness. * Nip: Doesn't ’bite at all. Shows no reaction even when treats or toys are taken away. * Barking: In encountering other dogs during a walk, tries to approach them while whining. Mumbles when her guardian returns home late from the work. No unnecessary barking at all. * Like It: Loves people and is very attentive to her guardian. * Dislike It: Tends to shy away when large items are moved or when the vacuum cleaner is on. * Tricks: Recognizes her name and comes running right away when called! When people gently tap the floor, she flops over regardless of where she is. If they tap their arms, she comes over and rests on it like a pillow. If they tap their legs, she lies down across it! Sometimes does not respond the call when she's concentrating on something else.

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.
