Story

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟 Meet Kuku🧡 Kuku is one of the puppies of #AdogsDanpoong. During a freezing winter, Danpoong gave birth to five puppies at a shelter and 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. • With People: Loves people and greets familiar ones with kisses! However, is frightened by quick movements or unfamiliar people—he may bark and avoid treats. Also barks at guests and hides in another room. With a slow and gentle approach, he opens up quickly. • With Dogs: Is indifferent to dogs who don’t engage but will approach friendly ones. Does not care about dogs other than one gets overly excited. • With Cats: Calm around still cats and gently sniffs them. bMay try to chase if they run. Could react defensively to aggressive cats, so supervision is necessary. • Separation Anxiety: None. 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. Is afraid of nail trimming and may nip, so walks are used to keep nails short. Is very good with brushing and toothbrushing. • Walking & Leash Training: Currently is in leash-training and going on walks. During our 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 him handler. As he becomes more accustomed to walking, he no longer reacts to passing birds or cats. • Car Rides: Experiences motion sickness after about 15 minutes. It’s best to avoid feeding him right before car rides. • Nipping: Shows defensive nipping when approached too quickly by strangers. * Barking: Is a bit gluttonous and may growl when people touche his favorite treats. Sometimes barks in fear when he hears a sudden or unfamiliar noise, but calms down quickly. * Favotite: Love treats. Comes running, sits and waits in anticipation once he hears the opening of the fridge. Loves playing tug! • Dislike: Expresses discomfort by baring teeth if picked up or touched against his will.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK&EWR💟 Meet Namu🌳 (Namu means tree in Korean) 1. Health Condition * Not neutered yet. 2. Rescue Story * Namu was staying at the Gimje City Shelter, whose accomodation space was beyond the limit. Namu was in danger of being put down while staying in such a crowded place and Adogs team rescued him. 3. Basic Information * With People: Is shy and wary of strangers, so it is hard to touch him as soon as you meet him. Can be touched and even gently held 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 strange dogs smell or come too close to him. But can develop to even bite them when they come to the side when he is eating. Attention is required. Wags the tail and likes dogs whom he feels familiarity, but prefers being alone to hanging out with other dogs. * Walks: Is generally good at walking, but tries to chew the leash when he gets surprised with loud noise or feels the leash pulled. Attention is needed to prevent him from running away by chewing the leash. Doesn’t react much to other animals. * Hygiene: Takes brushing very well! Gets nervous a bit in toenail trimming, but makes no big fuss. 4. Special Notes * Has not nipped at a person yet, but has possibility to nip when a stranger suddenly tries to touch him or he feels being threatened. Careful attention is needed.

Princess

German Shepherd Dog

Paterson, NJ

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Princess is an approximately 3 year old spayed female shepherd mix that desperately needs a home. Her owner was unable to continue to feed her, and a neighbor stepped up to help care for Princess but they are not able to care for her long-term. Princess is good with other dogs, and after having multiple litters of puppies before getting spayed, she is very maternal. She is friendly with strangers but will let you know when they come into the yard! Princess appears to be house-trained and is non-destructive when she comes inside the house at night to sleep. Once she knows where “home” is, she is not one to wander and sticks close to where her people are. Princess is fully vaccinated but is unfortunately heartworm positive.
