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_ 1.)Health Condition Neutered. Microchipped.2.) Rescue Story Kuku is one of the puppies of Danpoong at Adogs. During one freezing winter, Danpoong gave birth to five puppies at a shelter and was soon diagnosed with mange. Adogs urgently rescued the family.3.) 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. Although unafraid, he 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. Biting: When Kuku doesn’t want to do something or he feels threatened, he bites in defense. He 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. 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!* Personality: Kuku expresses himself differently depending on his mood. He 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.

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 Namu🌳 (Namu means tree in Korean) 1.) 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. 2.) 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. 3.) 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 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. * 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 possibility to do it if a stranger suddenly tries to touch him or he feels threatened. * Loves eating. However, he 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. * Tends to be shy and timid, so he feels uncomfortable with new people or dogs. Needs time to be accustomed to them.

Dolly

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young

Oakland, NJ

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

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. Please submit an application to meet our big baby Dolly Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Age: 1yrs 5mths 1wks
