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 Kangmin❤️1️⃣ Health Condition ​Neutered. ​Microchipped. ​* Was diagnosed with a rare heart condition where there is a membrane in the blood vessel leading from the right atrium to the lungs. Is currently being monitored regularly and treatment may be necessary if symptoms appear later.​ Has a rare heart condition now, so we're keeping walks to a minimum. It's important to keep him calm because getting too excited can put a strain on his heart.2️⃣ Rescue Story ​Kangmin was found abandoned and was rescued by the fire department following a report. Before being moved to a shelter, he was temporarily cared for at the fire station. After hearing his story, Adogs decided to rescue him to provide more stable care and protection.​3️⃣ Basic Information ​With People: Barks at strangers and can appear intimidated or cautious. Once he gets used to you, he approaches first and allows touching! Is a bit flinch at first, but he actually loves being petted once he warms up. His reaction to children is unknown as he hasn't met any yet. ​With Dogs: Tends to be mostly indifferent to other dogs. Prefers being alone to getting together with them. With Cats: Didn't really show much interest when he ran into a cat in the kennel. ​Separation Anxiety: Stays calm and shows no signs of anxiety when left alone. ​Potty Training: Mostly does outdoor potty. Occasionally urinates in his kennel. ​Hygiene: Due to his cautious nature, he may show mild defensive nipping or yelp when being handled for hygiene. However, he tolerates brushing well. ​Walks: Overexcitement can be hard on his heart, so we're keeping walks to a minimum. ​Car Sickness: Does not show symptoms of motion sickness during car rides. No aggressive biting. However, he may nip defensively/weakly when getting shots at the vet, having his nails trimmed, or trying to wipe away his tear stains. ​Barks defensively only when strangers enter his territory or when he hears external noises. ​Loves treats. ​Feels uncomfortable when hands approach his face or when someone tries to pick him up. Is afraid of sudden touches. Was scared of vet visits at first, but he’s getting a little better now. * Doesn’t have a high energy level. Rather than hanging out with other dogs, he feels more comfortable being on his own, but he's not just shy. Is such a brave boy, slowly opening up to the world at his own pace.

Story
Meet Freddie (Bonded with Ellie) Freddie is a 7-year-old, 15–17 lb sweetheart who is bonded with his best girl, Ellie. These two are a package deal and share a beautiful, comforting bond that makes them truly special. Freddie is neutered, house trained, and crate trained, making him a wonderful and easy companion. He’s partially leash trained and would thrive with a little continued guidance and consistency on walks. He does great with children and other dogs, but he would do best in a home without cats. Freddie has the perfect mix of gentle maturity and playful spirit. He loves being close to his people and finds comfort in having Ellie by his side. Together, they balance each other perfectly and bring a calm, loving energy wherever they go. Their owner is committed to keeping them safe and cared for until a foster or adopter is found — but they truly deserve a forever home where they can stay together and be cherished for years to come. If you’re ready to welcome double the love, Freddie and Ellie are waiting for you.

Story
Indigo is a 2-year-old mixed breed weighing around 17 pounds, and he's a sweet, friendly little guy who seems to make friends wherever he goes. He loves people, gets along well with other dogs, and has even been known to follow strangers down the street with his tail wagging, hoping for a little attention. While loud noises outside can make him a bit nervous, Indigo's affectionate personality shines through quickly. He's house-trained, crate-trained, sleeps through the night, and has been a fantastic houseguest from day one. Indigo strikes a great balance between playful and relaxed—he enjoys long walks and toys, but he's equally happy to settle down and hang out with his people. His small size and easygoing nature make him a great apartment companion, and despite his compact build, he's surprisingly agile and athletic when the mood strikes. Approved adopters interested in Indigo can email adopt@hbrdogs.com for more info. If you're not approved yet, apply today at hbrdogs.com.
