✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟 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 he only allows stronger physical affection when he’s feeling happy. Is on guard with unfamiliar people and when people make quick movements, he may bark and reject treats. With a slow and gentle approach, he opens up quickly. * With Dogs: Tends to get along with most dogs, even playing with new dogs easily. Is indifferent to dogs who don’t engage but approaches those who show interest in him. * 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 caution is necessary to avoid cats. * 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 very good with brushing and toothbrushing. Is afraid of nail trimming, nipping in fear, so walks are used to keep nails short. * 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. * When Kuku doesn’t want to do something or he feels threatened, he bites in defense. Also bites if he gets startled by strangers who immediately approach to touch him, or if being forced to wear a leash, so you should approach slowly and carefully. * 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. * Loves treats. Comes running, sits and waits in anticipation once he hears the opening of the fridge. Loves playing tug, too! * Expresses discomfort by baring teeth if picked up or touched against his will. * Is a genius who has mastered 'sit,' 'lie down,' 'paw,' 'nose' and 'V,' and understands the difference between right and left paws! * Expresses himself differently depending on his mood. Freely accepts human touch on good days, but shows that he doesn’t want to be touched on bad days. However, he really likes treats and playing tug so he can be won over easily.

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK&EWR💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet Namu🌳 (Namu means tree in Korean) 💙 Name: Namu 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 5 years old (Born in May 2021) 💙 Weight: 11.4 kg / 25.1 lb 💙 Adogs News Account: @_adogs_ 1. Health Condition * Neutered. * Microchipped and hearworm negative. * Was treated for a bladder infection, so care is needed to make sure he drinks enough water. 2. Rescue Story * Namu was staying at the Gimje City Shelter, where the facilities were beyond capacity. Namu was at risk of being put down while staying in such a crowded place. The Adogs team rescued him in time. 3. Basic Information * With People: Is shy and tends to avoid unfamiliar people. Even with familiar people, he doesn’t go around asking for pets but allows himself to be touched if you approach slowly in his kennel. Though he usually avoids human touch, once you actually pet him, he takes it quite well. * With Dogs: Approaches unfamiliar dogs to sniff and say hi first. However, he sometimes tries to establish dominance or growl, occasionally showing aggressive behaviors so caution is needed. He gets along well with familiar dogs. * With Cats: Shows some aggression towards cats, so careful monitoring is needed. * Separation Anxiety: Not confirmed yet, since he resides with other dogs as a group at our center. * Potty Training: Only potties outdoors at our center. * Hygiene: Takes baths very well. Avoids brushing but doesn’t resist it. Gets a bit nervous during toenail trimming but makes no big fuss. * Walks: Is still a bit uncomfortable with the leash and tries to avoid it. Is stubborn and doesn’t want to walk in the beginning, but once he’s outside, he does very well! * Car Sickness: Is still unknown, so further observation is needed. * Biting: Growls as a warning sign if unfamiliar dogs get in his face, and may bite defensively if they don’t stop. If other dogs show interest in his food, he punches at them with his muzzle, signaling for them to stay away. * Barking: Has a tendency to bark, and sometimes barks at other dogs. * Likes: Loves eating. Is a gentle eater who takes treats carefully if you drop them in front of him. Using treats is a great way to build trust and become fast friends with him. However, he may show threatening action to other dogs if they approach during meal times, as if saying not to come close to him. So caution is needed. * Dislikes: Is uncomfortable with being picked up or approached suddenly. Needs time to slowly open up his heart! * Personality: Is quiet and fearful of people, but is energetic and lively with his doggy friends.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet Bong Goo💙 💙 Name: Bong Goo 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 4 months old (Born in April 2026) 💙 Weight: 6 kg / 13.2 lb 💙 Adogs Updates Account: @_adogs_ ​1. Health Status * Not neutered yet. * ​Microchipped. * Had surgery for a hind leg fracture and is currently awaiting a procedure to remove the surgical pins. While the surgical site is healing well, he is still in his growth phase, causing his leg bones to grow rapidly—as a result, his hind legs are slightly uneven in length. Since the pins haven't been removed yet, he still walks with a slight limp. ​2. Rescue Story * ​Bong Goo was found on a busy roadway. After his accident, seeing him wander around limping on his leg looked extremely dangerous. Because he urgently needed surgery, Adogs stepped in to rescue him. ​3. Personality & Traits ❗ Since he is still a young puppy, he may require training for issues like separation anxiety, potty training, nipping, mouthing, whining, play-chewing, mess-making, howling, and barking. ❗ Because his parent dogs are unknown, it is difficult to predict his future size or shedding level. ❗ As puppies grow very rapidly until about 10 months of age, his current appearance may look slightly different from the photos. * With People: Has zero shyness—is an absolute people-lover! Approaches strangers quickly and loves being petted. Shows affection by shoving his face into your hands or gently nudging you with his paws. Once he gets familiar with someone, he becomes a total devoted shadow, following them everywhere and gazing at them constantly. Handles enthusiastic affection and cuddles very well. * With Dogs: A total social butterfly who approaches other dogs first to invite them to play! Being an energetic puppy, he can occasionally annoy other dogs. However, if another dog shows discomfort or barks, he acts a bit bashful. Before long, he might try teasing them again, but he has never shown any aggression toward other dogs. * ​With Cats: Hasn’t met cats before. * ​Separation Anxiety: Unknown at the moment, as he is currently living in a group environment at the center. May need new training when transitioning to a home environment. * ​Potty Training: Currently relieves himself indoors at the center. May need new potty training when transitioning to a home environment. * Grooming: Is good with brushing. * Walks: Doesn’t get overexcited and walks quite well. * Car Sickness: Didn’t show signs of car sickness and takes ride well. * ​Barking: When confined, he whines to be let out. * Barking: Whines and barks when confined because he wants to be let out. Also barks along when other dogs bark, and because he is quite food-motivated, this behavior gets stronger around food. * ​Likes: Absolutely adores people, doggy friends and treats. * Dislikes: Hates being confined in a kennel or crate. * Personality: The ultimate bundle of joy! Is a super outgoing dog with top-tier social skills who adores both people and fellow dogs. With an energy level of 10/10, his extraverted personality might feel a bit overwhelming at times, but he is brave, affectionate, and utterly lovable!

Story
Winter is a beautiful German Shepard dog who has been with us for 4 years now. Unfortunately after years of dealing with my allergies and asthma I can’t control it no more. Now we need to keep her fully away from me to get myself better. We love her so much and it hurts us to see her go but I know she deserves more than what I can give her. We want no fee at all for her all we would want is for her to have parents who wouldn’t mind keeping us posted from time to time as my kids have grown with her and are completely devastated to see her go.

(The DNA came back German shepherd, Shar Pei and Chow.) This handsome fellow and his siblings came in to rescue last winter after they were dumped on a back country road. Their mother was found deceased, so we took the puppies in to try to save them. They were very sick initially but are very healthy now. Big boy is a gentle boy but does love to run and play with other dogs. Big boy was the largest of the puppies, but his siblings have caught up to him. He has done amazing with his house and crate training. He is so deserving of a wonderful home to call his own. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please email us for the link to the adoption application (His adoption fee is only to cover transport and health certificate to travel to another state.)
