Story
🐾 Adopt Oscar 🐾 Oscar is a handsome 2-year-old German Shepherd rescued from the South LA shelter last month. He arrived very stressed, but with time and consistency he has made great progress and is becoming much calmer and more settled. Oscar is a sensitive, intelligent boy who does best with calm, confident, and experienced handlers—ideally someone familiar with shepherds. He can become anxious if things feel rushed, so he thrives with patience, structure, and a handler willing to build trust at his pace. As that trust grows, he relaxes and handling becomes much easier, showing what a great companion he can be for someone! He can be nervous and vocal when meeting new people and prefers slow, respectful introductions (as we all do). Oscar likes space to observe first rather than immediate interaction. He’s made progress with crate training and will come with a free training session to help his new person continue his success. Around other dogs, Oscar is mostly avoidant but is learning appropriate greetings and improving with practice. In the right home, Oscar has so much potential to be a loyal, devoted companion.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to LAX💟 Meet Namu🌳 (Namu means tree in Korean) 💙 Name: Namu 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 4 years old (Born in May 2021) 💙 Weight: 10.1 kg / 22.3 lb 💙 Adogs News Account: @_adogs_ 1⃣ Health Condition * Neutered. * Microchipped and hearworm negative. * Was recently diagnosed with a bladder infection, so care is needed to make sure he drinks enough water. 2⃣ Rescue Story * Namu was staying at the Gimje City Shelter, where the accomodation space was beyond the limit. Namu was in the risk of being put down while staying in such a crowded place. Adogs team rescued him in time. 3⃣ Basic Information * With People: Is shy and wary of strangers, and tends to fear being touched. Can be touched when trust is built, so it's important to wait and go at his own pace. * With Dogs: Gives a warning sign such as growling when new dogs smell him or get in his face. Wags his tail and greets familiar dogs, but seems to prefer being alone to playing or hanging out with other dogs. * With Cats: Shows some aggression towards cats, so careful monitoring is needed. * Separation Anxiety: Not confirmed yet, since he is living with other dogs as a group at the center. * Potty Training: Uses outdoor potty only since he is staying at the center. * Hygiene: Takes baths and brushing very well. Gets nervous a bit during toenail trimming but makes no big fuss. * Walks: Is generally good at walking, but tries to chew the leash when he gets surprised by loud noises or feels tension on the leash. Attention is needed to prevent him from running away by chewing the leash. Doesn’t react much to other animals. * Nip: Growls as a warning sign if unfamiliar dogs get in his face, and may bite if they don’t stop. If other dogs show interest in his food, punches at them with his muzzle, signaling for them to stay away. Has not nipped at a person yet, but has possibility to do it if a stranger suddenly tries to touch him or he feels threatened. * Likes: Loves eating. However, may show threatening action to other dogs when they are approaching during the meal time, as if saying not to come close to him. So caution is needed. * Dislikes: Tends to be shy and timid, so he feels uncomfortable with new people or dogs. Needs time to be accustomed to them.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to LAX💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet Kuku🧡 💙 Adogs News Account: @_adogs_ 1⃣ Health Condition * Neutered. * Microchipped. 2⃣ Rescue Story * Kuku is one of the puppies of #AdogsDanpoong. During one freezing winter, Danpoong gave birth to five puppies at a shelter and was soon diagnosed with mange. Adogs urgently rescued the family. 3⃣ Basic Information * With People: Loves people and greets familiar ones with kisses! Allows people to lightly touch him, but more he only allows stronger physical affection when he’s feeling happy. Although unafraid, he is on guard with unfamiliar people and when people make quick movements, he may bark and reject treats. Is scared of guests, barking at them and hiding in another room. With a slow and gentle approach, he opens up quickly. * With Dogs: Is indifferent to dogs who don’t engage but approaches those who show interest in him. Gets along very well with even new canine friends. Gets along with most dogs. * With Cats: Calm around still cats and gently sniffs them, but has a lot of curiosity and tries to chase cats that run away. Might try to fight back against aggressive cats, so supervision is necessary. Tends to bark when he sees a cat passing outside the kennel. * Separation Anxiety: None. Plays or naps peacefully when alone. * Potty Training: Prefers outdoor potty but is 100% trained using indoor pee pads too. * Hygiene: Doesn’t enjoy baths but tolerates them well. Is afraid of nail trimming and nips, so walks are used to keep nails short. Is very good with brushing and toothbrushing. * Walks: Goes for walks with double leashes. During walks, we are also working on recall training. Except in situations where someone suddenly approaches and startles him, he remains calm and focused when called by name, and comes toward his handler. Has become more accustomed to walking and no longer reacts to passing birds or cats. * Car Sickness: Experiences motion sickness after about 15 minutes. It’s best to avoid feeding him right before car rides. * Biting: Bites defensively when strangers approach and try to touch him immediately. This doesn’t seem to be out of aggression but because he’s trying to protect himself. Sometimes, he bites when being forced to do something, so caution is needed. * Barking: Is a bit gluttonous and may growl when people touch his favorite treats. Sometimes barks in fear when he hears a sudden or unfamiliar noise, but calms down quickly. * Likes: Loves treats. Comes running, sits and waits in anticipation once he hears the opening of the fridge. Loves playing tug, too! * Dislikes: Expresses discomfort by baring teeth if picked up or touched against his will. * Tricks: Is a genius who has mastered 'sit,' 'lie down,' 'paw,' 'nose' and 'V,' and understands the difference between right and left paws!

Sassy

German Shepherd Dog

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This is Sassy, your new best friend. She’s a four-year-old “super mutt” (German Shepherd seems to be the most dominant breed) that has tons of energy and love to give. She’s a great walking buddy, loves routine, and being with the people she loves. We rescued Sassy in July 2022. We have adored her & been able to accommodate her unique behavioral needs since then. However, now that we’ve begun having kids, it’s clear that she needs to be in a home without children. Sassy’s unique behavioral issues are nuanced, so if you’re interested in her please reach out. However, to give you a picture: Sassy has separation anxiety, is slow to warm to new situations and new people, and takes Prozac daily. These things are manageable and we’ve seen a lot of success through medication and training, but she has not been able to adjust to life with our increasingly mobile baby. Ideal Home: recently retired or someone who works from home, loves to be outside, and is experienced with anxious dogs.

Story
Star is an amazingly chill, friendly, well behaved, low maintenance dog who is looking for her forever home. She gets along with everyone: adults, children, and other dogs. She is everything you could ask for in a dog - content, affectionate, leash trained, and rides well in cars. She does great in a small apartment (but would love a larger space!), does fine around the vacuum, and is crate trained and housebroken. She stays by your side on walks - even off leash - and comes when called. She loves head-scratches and belly rubs, but is also content just to be around people. If you give her a chance, you wont regret it. Watch the video to see Star doing her thing!
