Story
💙 Name: BongGoo 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 6 months old (Born in April 2026) 💙 Weight: 12.6 kg / 27.8 lb 💙 BongGoo’s News Account: @adogs_bonggu 1️⃣ Health Condition * Too young to be neutered. * Microchipped. * Had surgery for a hind leg fracture and has already completed the pin removal surgery. Since the pins were removed earlier than scheduled, there is a possibility of re-fracture, so extra care and monitoring are needed during daily activities. 2️⃣ Rescue Story * BongGoo was found wandering along a busy roadway, limping after being involved in an accident. Seeing him in such a dangerous situation and in urgent need of surgery, Adogs stepped in to rescue him. 3️⃣ Basic Information ❗As a young puppy, he may need training in areas such as separation anxiety, potty habits, biting nipping, whining, disorderly behaviors, howling, and barking. ❗It is difficult to predict his full-grown size or shedding level because his parents are unknown. ❗Due to rapid puppy growth (especially before 10 months old), his current appearance may differ slightly from earlier photos. * With People: Has zero shyness and is an absolute people-lover. Approaches strangers without hesitation and happily accepts pets. Loves showing affection by gently leaning his face or placing his paws on people. Stays right by familiar people, asking for affection and playtime. After playing for a while, he will wander around looking for things to play with on his own; if told "no," he nicely lies down to rest. * With Dogs: Proactively approaches new dog friends to play. Being an energetic puppy, he can get excited and sometimes bother other dogs. However, if another dog shows discomfort or barks, he gets embarrassed and backs off. When he sees dogs he knows, he greets them with great enthusiasm, though his excitement settles down quickly. * With Cats: Gets overly excited when spotting cats during walks and tries to approach them, so caution is required. * Separation Anxiety: Whines and howls if someone leaves the house while others remain. Settles down once the remaining person comforts and plays with him. Rather than true separation anxiety, it seems to be his way of expressing "I want to go out too!" so further observation is ongoing. * Potty Training: No indoor marking. Has about a 90% success rate on indoor potty pads. Needs a bit more guidance as he sometimes pees near the edges or leaks off the side. Replacing the pad with a fresh one significantly reduces mistakes. Will poop but does not pee outdoors —especially when wearing a leash or harness. * Hygiene: Handles brushing very well. Tolerates baths and blow-drying, but since he isn't fully used to it yet, he tends to try to wiggle away. Is scared of nail trimming, so positive reinforcement training is needed. Does shed a bit. * Walks: Loves going for walks. Pulls on the leash and gets easily excited when encountering other animals (dogs, cats, birds), so he is continuously working on walk manners. * Car Sickness: Rides in the car very well without any motion sickness. Can get slightly excited in a car seat, so using a secure crate is recommended. * Shows no aggression or biting tendencies. When he disliked having his nails trimmed, his lips touched the handler to express discomfort, but it never progressed to actual nipping or biting. * Whines or barks when he thinks he’s being left behind—this appears to be demand barking rather than anxiety, and training is underway. Tends to join in if other dogs bark. Is also quite food-motivated, which can increase his vocalizations around food. Once let out a soft growl when other dogs approached while he was playing with a toy. * Is a playful, cheerful pup who loves running around freely. Is bright, sweet, and full of affection. Simply prefers not feeling restricted or confined when asked to do something.

✅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 even 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. 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
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.
