Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟 Meet Kuku🧡 💙 Update Account: @_adogs_ 1⃣ Health Status • Neutered • Other: Microchipped 2⃣ Rescue Story * Kuku is one of the puppies born to #ADogsDanpoong. During a freezing winter, Danpoong gave birth to five puppies at a shelter but was soon diagnosed with mange. ADogs urgently rescued the family. All the siblings were adopted, and now only Kuku and his mom are still waiting for their forever homes. 3⃣ Personality and Behavior • With People: Kuku loves people and greets familiar ones with kisses! However, he’s frightened by quick movements or unfamiliar people—he may bark and avoid treats. He also barks at guests and hides in another room. With a slow and gentle approach, he opens up quickly. • With Dogs: He’s indifferent to dogs who don’t engage but will approach friendly ones. He can get overly excited with new dogs, so introductions should be monitored. • With Cats: Calm around still cats and gently sniffs them, but he may try to chase if they run. He could react defensively to aggressive cats, so supervision is necessary. • Separation Anxiety: None. He plays or naps peacefully when alone. • Potty Training: Prefers outdoor potty but is 100% reliable using indoor pee pads too. • Grooming: Doesn’t enjoy baths but tolerates them well. He’s afraid of nail trimming and may nip, so walks are used to keep nails short. He’s very good with brushing and toothbrushing. • Walking & Leash Training: Walks on a double leash. Tends to pull when excited by dogs, birds, or cats—currently in training to reduce leash reactivity. • Car Rides: Experiences motion sickness after about 15 minutes. It’s best to avoid feeding him right before car rides. 4⃣ Special Notes • Kuku is a smart pup who knows “Sit,” “Left Paw,” “Right Paw,” “Lie Down,” “Nose,” and “V-sign”! • He’s learning recall and generally responds well unless startled. • He may growl if someone tries to take his favorite treat due to food guarding. • Shows defensive nipping when approached too quickly by strangers. • Expresses discomfort by baring teeth if picked up or touched against his will. • May bark when startled by loud or unfamiliar noises but calms down quickly. • A bit shy but also curious—once trust is built, he becomes affectionate and cuddly.

Story
Hello from Connecticut. I’m River, and I appear to be a handsome Shepherd mix, so imagine everyone's surprise when my DNA came back as mostly Pitbull! Yikes! I’m actually a mix of 18 different breeds, including a bit of Miniature Poodle and Collie, but it appears my looks mostly resemble the 6% German Shepherd, 3% Labrador Retriever, and the 1% Polynesian Street Dog! I am about 2 1/2 years old, on the smaller side of medium, weighing about 35 lbs, and I'm one cool dude. I have a medium energy level and can read the room… calm and easygoing indoors… playful and energetic outdoors. I was originally a Texas dog, patiently waiting for adoption at a Laredo Animal Shelter when 4 Little Paws Rescue took me in. A few months later, my dreams came true, and I was adopted in Connecticut, but sadly, due to a family illness, I must now find a new future. I’m sweet and affectionate, love to cuddle, and am not too proud to admit I love doggy toys. I get along great with other dogs and am playful and fun. I love the outdoors, even when it's cold, and I will be a fun companion for someone to explore the outdoors with. I am well-behaved, housebroken, and quiet even when all the household dogs start barking like crazy, I will look to see what’s going on, but maintain my dignity and not join in. I can walk nicely on a leash and be a good boy while riding in the car. I’m currently staying in a CT foster home where my foster dad also happens to be a dog trainer, so I have been learning many commands and social skills, leash walking in crowded areas, and overall just taking advantage of my new digs to become a well-rounded dog! I have become more confident, warm up quickly, and readily come up and meet people even in busy stores! My trainer says I am a very loving dog who loves affection and pets, and building a bond with my owners is important to me. Come over and meet me, but be prepared to fall in love and take me home! * 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.

Story
* 4 Little Paws is helping a Texas Animal Shelter by featuring a few wonderful dogs patiently waiting to find forever homes! Meet Katrina! She is still waiting for her furever family to scoop her up, and we honestly can’t understand why. She’s been with us for four and a half months and has stolen every heart she’s met. There truly aren’t enough words to describe just how special she is and capture the depth of her sweetness! With her glowing golden eyes and radiant smile, Katrina has a way of looking right into your soul. She’s a warm, gentle spirit who seems to carry endless love in her heart, and all she wants in return is a family to call her own. Cuddles are Katrina’s love language. She adores being close to people and will gladly lean her whole body into you, settle in your lap, or rest her head against your chest just to soak up your presence. She melts under chest rubs and lights up when you whisper sweet words to her. Tell her she’s a good girl, and you’ll be rewarded with the softest and most thankful kisses. She has the calm wisdom of a dog who’s been through life’s harder chapters and is ready to embrace peace, love, and soft places to nap. She’s well past the puppy phase, wonderfully well-mannered, and fully potty trained! When she needs to go out, she’ll let you know with a confident little bark. In her kennel, she keeps her space neat and cozy, always treating her bedding and toys with care. Katrina walks beautifully on a leash, and she’s always up for a neighborhood stroll or a little outdoor adventure. She’s also a dream in the car! She hops in with ease and rides like a pro, making her the ideal travel buddy. Around other dogs, Katrina enjoys a bit of playful roughhousing or a game of chase. Her playful bursts come in short and happy waves, then she’s ready to just trot around or hang back and observe. She is always friendly with a balanced energy, which is why she’s one of our go-to dogs for testing new arrivals. Her steady and reliable temperament helps nervous newcomers feel at ease! And then, there’s her mealtime routine. Katrina’s laziness makes us laugh every single day. She’ll lie down to eat, take a few bites, then gently tip her bowl over so the food spills onto the floor. Why? Because, obviously, that’s the best way to dine when you’re a delightfully peculiar little lady. It’s just one of her many charming quirks that makes everyone fall head over heels for her. It’s clear Katrina has had several litters in the past, but those days are long behind her. Now spayed and healthy, she deserves a life of comfort, joy, and being loved simply for who she is and not for the puppies she once raised. Katrina is a four-year-old German Shepherd mix who weighs 56 pounds. She’s spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, fully vaccinated, and on monthly preventatives. * 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.

Story
Bella came to the shelter just about a year ago at three years old only because her owner was terminally ill and can no longer care for her. Bella is nice and laid-back with people friendly loves to run likes to engage with the ball. She’s not particularly dog friendly, but she’s neither an aggressive dog who couldn’t walk by other dog you can walk her just fine, sometimes she plays her other dog she fence, but we don’t think she has been exposed to children very much. Bella is half German Shepherd and half pit and she’s about 50 pounds.
