Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sweet, sassy, senior boy!Meet Ace – Your Loyal Little Shadow in the Making Ace is an adorable, scruffy little nearly 10-year-old, 13-pound Havanese mix with a tender heart and so much love still to give. After spending five wonderful years in a home, Ace recently returned to SVPP when his beloved momma passed away unexpectedly and her family was unable to keep him. His world changed overnight, and he’s now patiently waiting for a forever family to help him feel safe again. A Gentle Soul Who Blossoms with Time Ace adapts to new situations in his own time. He needs a few days to settle in and get comfortable with new people and surroundings. But once he knows he’s safe and that his humans can be trusted, his infectious cuteness shines through. When he feels secure, Ace’s favorite place is right next to his people—cuddling close and happily being the center of attention. He absolutely loves: Car rides Leisurely walks Sunbathing in a cozy spot Earning tasty treats The Home Ace Needs Ace will thrive with a patient, experienced adopter who understands that trust is earned, not rushed. He needs someone who will allow him to set the pace as he builds a relationship with his new family. Respecting his boundaries is essential. In the first few weeks, Ace may be moody and can show fear-based aggression if he feels uncomfortable or pressured. A calm, positive environment where all humans consistently respect his space will help him feel secure. Once he trusts you, he becomes incredibly sweet, deeply loyal, and devoted. Social & Lifestyle Notes Gets along well with other small dogs who respect his boundaries Unknown how he is with cats House-trained and crate-trained Behaves well when left alone Walks nicely on leash but can be leash reactive in close quarters with other dogs Will do best with regular exercise to keep him happy and balanced Health Like many small dogs his age, Ace has a few medical needs that require ongoing monitoring and management. With proper care, he remains an active, loving little companion ready to enjoy life. A Note About Adoption Events Adoption Events can be too chaotic and unpredictable for this special boy. Filling out an adoption application is the very best way to learn all about and meet Ace. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 23, 2026, 6:56 pm

Story
Meet Marshall, a male, 1 year old, 14lb, Havanese/Poodle (HavaPoo) mix that came to us from a backyard breeder who no longer wanted him. We took him into our foundation immediately and had him groomed and fully vetted. Marshall is a sweet dog that does take a little time to warm up, so a patient and loving owner is exactly what he needs. We are looking for a home with another sweet and playful dog for him (he cant be an "only" dog) and owners that are not gone long hours during the day. A home with a safe and secure yard would be ideal to run around and play in. Marshall is a young dog with so much love to give and we know his perfect forever home is out there! Marshall is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Please contact us at gina@theforgottendog.org or 310-990-2020 We only adopt in So California as an in person meet/greet, home check, and trial are required.

Story
How this pet arrived: Marco was brought in by a community member on February 3, 2026.. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Marco - your future tiny king with big opinions and an even bigger heart. Marco is all about consent is cool. He loves attention... when he requests it. When he's in the mood, he'll happily soak up your affection and remind you what a charming little guy he is. But surprise scoops and "I just can't resist!" cuddles? Hard pass. Marco prefers to keep all four paws on the ground until he decides otherwise. He's looking for a home with kids over 10 who can follow directions from their grown-ups and understand that friendships take time (and that we don't force snuggles on royalty). His future family should plan for a chill adjustment period - no immediate pick-ups and no quick trips to the groomer until he's feeling safe and confident. Give Marco patience, respect, and the space to bloom, and you'll be rewarded with a loyal, quirky, affection-on-demand best friend.Shy/Fearful Dog: This pet requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Cream Weight: 25 Age: 3yrs 1mths 0wks

📌 Important Adoption Information All of our dogs are currently living in private shelters or foster homes in South Korea. Once an adoption is approved, dogs will travel to the United States through legal and approved international transport procedures.

Treatment completed. *Rescue Story Wooyeon was found wandering the streets by two sisters, who brought her to a veterinary clinic. At the hospital, she was diagnosed with Babesia and heartworm.

She was later transferred to a nearby private shelter, where she received full treatment and recovery support. Since then, she has been living at the shelter and is now healthy and ready to find her forever home. - Compatibility With Cats: She has briefly encountered cats at the veterinary hospital and showed no strong reaction. She was not particularly interested. With Other Dogs: She gets along very well with all other dogs and can be adopted into a multi-dog household. With Adults and Children: Very friendly and affectionate with both adults and children. Personality & Behavior Leash Manners: Very good on walks. Food Allergies / Diet: No known food allergies.
