Story
Milo is a male lab mix puppy who was born on 2/5/26.  According to his foster mom, Milo loves chew toys and playing tug of war.  Milo has received his puppy vaccinations and will be microchipped upon arrival with a lifetime registration. Personality: friendly, playful, affectionate, energetic Good with: people of all ages (including kids), and dogs Date of birth: February 5, 2026 Expected size when full grown: medium to large Medical: vaccinated, will be microchipped w/lifetime registration Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport. ​Background: Here's a very common story for dogs in the south.  Once upon a time a beautiful and very pregnant dog was found wandering along the side of the road.  What's not so common is that instead of leaving her out there on her own, the finder named her Shadow and decided to keep her (she is a lucky dog!).  Shadow (a lab mix) gave birth to 8 healthy puppies on 2/5/26.  Milo is one of her male puppies.

Story
Lola is a beautiful 2-year-old German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as her playful spirit. This sweet girl has quite the story—she spent over a month as a stray in her neighborhood, where she quickly won over everyone, especially the local kids. She would happily walk them to and from the bus stop, soaking up all the love, playtime, and snacks they had to offer. It’s clear from the start: Lola adores people, especially children. Lola is the perfect mix of fun and well-mannered. She loves toys (especially balls!) and will happily play fetch and retrieve to her heart’s content. She also enjoys playing with other dogs and would do great in a home with a canine companion. She’s both house-trained and kennel-trained, and can relax comfortably in a crate for extended periods without issue. Lola travels well in the car (especially in her crate) and is always up for an adventure—she truly loves going for rides. Lola is smart and eager to please, showing all the classic German Shepherd traits. She knows her name, responds well to training, and even does well off-leash in appropriate settings like trails. She’s not destructive and doesn’t chew on household items—she’d much rather enjoy a Milk-Bone or a good game of fetch. While Lola is generally well-behaved in the home, she can be a bit vocal when excited, especially when greeting people or when someone comes to the door. This is typical of her breed and manageable with continued guidance and training. Once she settles, she’s affectionate, attentive, and loves being close to her people. She has shown that she can coexist with cats and is overall a very adaptable, social dog. Lola has even waded into a pond before—so she might enjoy some water fun—but baths are definitely not her favorite activity! Lola is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and on prevention, ready to find her forever home. Ideal Home:
Lola would thrive in an active home where she can get plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention. A family with kids, another playful dog, or someone who enjoys outdoor adventures would be a great match for her. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and playful companion who will stick by your side and keep you smiling, Lola just might be your girl. If this sounds like the pup for you, please complete an application at https://www.saveastray.org/forms/form?formid=3635 Once the application is approved, a FaceTime will be set up for a virtual meet and greet. Since we are located in Mobile, AL, this will give you the opportunity to see the pet interact with other dogs, people, and see a bit of their personality. Transports leave every week alternating between the NE and the Great Lakes. We use the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport. Thank you for your interest in a Save a Stray pet.

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 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 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 facilities were beyond capacity. 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, and even allows himself to be picked up carefully! * 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 resides with other dogs as a group at our center. * Potty Training: Uses outdoor potty only since he is staying at our center. * Hygiene: Takes baths very well Avoids brushing but doesn’t resist it. 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. * Biting: 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, he punches at them with his muzzle, signaling for them to stay away. Has not nipped at a person yet, but has the possibility to do it if a stranger suddenly tries to touch him or he feels threatened. * Likes: Loves eating. 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: Tends to be shy and fearful, so he feels uncomfortable with new people or dogs. Needs time to get accustomed to them. * Personality: Namu is calm and quiet. Although he’s wary and fearful of new people and environments, he accepts human touch well if you match his pace and approach him slowly.

Story
Dolly is a beautiful big baby shepherd, a little over one year old and already failed by many people in her young life. She's a 70lbs giant puppy looking for a home that will provide the training, exercise, and companionship this smart active breed needs to thrive. She bonds very quickly and is a total velcro dog Definitely no kitties or smaller animals, but she might like a big doggie brother with proper introductions. She's been friendly with all staff and volunteers at the shelter, but does need someone who understands shepherds and their potential for protective tendencies and training needs. Crate-training and getting her accustomed to one is a must as she learns house manners living in a real home for the first time.

GSD/Husky/Lab/Catahoula mixFour year old Dexter W. is a mixture of Labrador, GSD, Husky and Catahoula. His former owner’s parents have recently taken him in and he is just too much dog for them. They describe him as “a fun, smart and energetic companion. He loves to be near us and is a loyal best friend who loves to play.”  They believe he would be best with a family with older children or a family of young adults because of his energy level.  He has never been around cats.
