**About Koda:** Thank you for interested in adopting Koda. Please know that Koda is an international rescue through South Korea. When your application is approved, you will need to pick him up from the airport - such as SFO, SEA, JFK, LAX, IAH, etc. International adoption is not a complicated process and we‘ve done the process many years. We would be happy to explain to you how the process works. Personality: Koda is cheerful and energetic. He can be a bit competitive with dogs at a similar energy level but is gentle with older dogs. While he has built a strong bond with his foster, he can be wary of strangers. He should not be let off-leash as he avoids capture or close contact without it. He is generally cautious in new situations but shows resilience and adapts well over time. Koda does well with both children and adults. He may be nervous at first, but after 4–5 days he warms up and becomes affectionate. He has a tendency to chase stray cats, so living with cats may not be suitable. Car Rides: Travels well in the car without issues. Housebreaking: Prefers outdoor potty. Alone Time: May whine a little and bark at outside noises, but settles down. Leash & Walks: Currently in leash training. He may try to run after birds or small animals, so caution is needed. Coming from a street life, he is wary of cars and waits for them to pass even from a distance. - Koda is shy at first, but adapts quickly and shows strong affection once trust is built. - Shows some “one-person dog” tendencies, bonding closely with the foster. - Naturally energetic and active due to his young age, but he has good self-control. Koda is ready to find his forever loving home. If you’re interested in him, please feel free to reach out to us anytime!

**About Olio:** Thank you for interested in adopting Olio. Please know that Olio is an international rescue through South Korea. When your application is approved, you will need to pick him up from the airport - such as SFO, SEA, JFK, LAX, IAH, etc. International adoption is not a complicated process and we‘ve done the process many years. We would be happy to explain to you how the process works. Personally: He gets along very well with the dogs he lives with. However, when meeting smaller dogs outside, he sometimes approaches them a bit too eagerly, so he is currently in training to improve his manners. After meeting a couple of times and becoming familiar, he does well. Since he’s still a puppy, he is continuing consistent training. He can be a little timid, but he absolutely loves people. More than treats, he prefers physical affection and bonding time with humans. He is incredibly sweet and loving. With children: No particular issues. He does not show any preference and is generally comfortable with everyone. With cats- There is a cat in his foster home. He shows curiosity but he does not show any aggression. Car rides- He stays calm and rides very well. He has been crate-trained for car rides since he was young, so he travels comfortably in a crate. Potty train- He uses pee pads indoors. For poop, he goes outdoors 100%. Recently, he has started preferring outdoor potty more. Left alone- He stays calm and quiet when alone. Guarding behavior- No guarding behavior toward people. He calmly allows people to take things out of his mouth. Even if another dog takes his toy or food, he doesn’t react. He likes people more than treats or toys. Leash: He’s very curious and loves walks. He happily goes anywhere and enjoys exploring.

Story
**About Ed:** Ed is an international rescue all the way from South Korean. While "international adoption" might sound like a major undertaking, we have years of experience streamlining this process to make it as smooth as possible. We’ll be right by your side to explain every step! The Journey Home Once your application is approved, the final step of Ed’s journey begins. Adopters are responsible for picking him up directly from a major international airport. Common arrival hubs include: West Coast: SFO, SEA, LAX. East Coast & Central: JFK, IAH 🐕 Personality: Ed is a high-energy, playful boy who absolutely adores other dogs. He gets excited pretty easily, and it's pure joy and fun. With new people, he's curious but takes his time warming up. He doesn't bark or bite. Having another dog around helps him feel more comfortable approaching new humans, and once he gets to know someone, he's totally happy going on walks with them even without his foster (he's done up to a 2-hour walk with the foster’s friend!). He's not bothered by such noises like, cars, motorcycles, horns, washing machines, and doorbells. He loves toys, especially squeaky rubber balls. Just keep an eye on him with cloth or soft rubber toys since he might chew them up and swallow pieces. He prefers playing with you over playing alone. When the foster showed him RC/remote-controlled toys, he seemed to be scared. When left alone, he just relaxes in his spot. No mess, no destruction, and no separation anxiety. He doesn't bark at home or outside, and when you return, he greets you happily and quietly. He loves food. He eats his kibble with no complaints and enjoys meats like beef and chicken, plus veggies like pumpkin, cabbage, broccoli, cucumber, carrots, and watermelon! No known food allergies and he happily eats whatever treat you give him. He sees kids of all ages on walks pretty often, but he doesn't pay much attention to them and tends to step away if they approach. Not interested in cats. He didn’t pay attention to stray cats during walks. He drools a little bit, but he has no fear of cars! He hops in and out on his own as soon as you open the door. He loves looking out the window, and if he's tired, he'll just lie down and nap. 100% outdoor potty! He goes out about 4 times a day. No guarding behavior. He loves toys so much that he might eye a toy another dog is playing with, and he loves treats, but he never snatches or fights over them. At home, he might hold onto a toy or a sock and not want to let go, but it’s just playfulness, not defensive guarding. If you pet him gently instead of pulling, he'll softly drop it. If the foster takes food from him, he just gives it up easily. He does great wearing a leash, muzzle, or raincoat. He pulls a bit at the very start of a walk, but we're training on this. When you stop, he sits politely and waits until you move again. When running, he matches your pace, and he has a great recall (comes back about 9 out of 10 times!). Since he likes to nibble on grass and tries to pick up things off the ground, so the foster is currently putting a mesh protective muzzle on him during walks.

Story
Note: Currently, Phoongyi is in Korea, but will be arriving in San Francisco once adopted.For more info about the dog or the adoption application, please click here.Adopt Phoongyi, the Calm and Cuddly Pup You’ll Easily Fall in Love WithMost puppies are all bounce and chaos, but Phoongyi already carries himself with a quiet, steady calm, even while he’s leaning in for pets from anyone who walks by.Quick Facts BreedJindo mixed breed · Sex: Male · Born: November 2025 · Weight: 10.4 kg · Location: Korea · Traits: Affectionate, calm, sociable · Health: Neutered, vaccinated.BackgroundPhoongyi was rescued in July 2026 from a dog meat farm in Icheon, Korea, when he was only a few months old. Since then he has been living with other dogs at our partner shelter, where he has settled in well and is now ready to find his forever family.PersonalityPhoongyi is affectionate and clearly loves being around people. He greets everyone the same way, whether they are men or women, with no hesitation and plenty of affection. He carries a calm, steady energy day to day, and while he enjoys playtime and walks, he is just as happy settling in beside you. He doesn’t bark much and has no unusual barking habits.CompatibilityPhoongyi is comfortable and confident with both men and women, and he shows no signs of being shy around new people.He hasn’t lived with cats before, so we can’t say for certain how he’d do. Knowing his easygoing nature, though, we think it’s possible with a slow, gradual introduction, plenty of patience, and enough space for each of them to have their own retreat while they get used to one another.Phoongyi gets along well with other dogs, especially calm dogs closer to his own age. He can feel a little overwhelmed if too many dogs crowd around him at once, so he’ll do best with introductions that give him room to settle in at his own pace.Behaviours & TrainingPhoongyi does well in the car, at the vet, and at bath time. He enjoys his walks and already has good leash habits. He prefers going potty outdoors rather than using a pad, and he hasn’t shown any tendency to chew on things he shouldn’t. As a young dog, he hasn’t yet had much chance to prove himself on separation anxiety, but he has shown no signs of it so far.Health & DietPhoongyi is neutered, dewormed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations as of August 2026. He takes monthly parasite preventatives. He has no known allergies and no history of additional surgeries or treatments. He has passed the veterinary screening and is healthy and ready for a forever home.He eats kibble twice a day and has not shown any food allergies or sensitivities so far.Ideal HomePhoongyi would do well in most homes thanks to his calm, gentle temperament. He’ll be happiest with a family who works from home or is retired and enjoys spending plenty of time with their dog, since that gives him the company and steady guidance he needs as a young dog still finding his footing in the world.Having another calm, gentle dog in the home would be a wonderful bonus, since that’s the kind of friend Phoongyi gravitates toward most. Still young and already this steady, Phoongyi just needs a family willing to give him the time, patience, and love to grow into the companion he’s clearly going to be. Whoever adopts him will be getting a wonderful boy.

Story
*Note: Currently, Arthur is in Korea but will be arriving in San Francisco once adopted.For more info about him or about the adoption application, please click here.BackgroundArthur was found as a stray in a rural area of Paju, Korea, and was facing euthanasia before being rescued and brought to a shelter. He currently lives with other dogs at the shelter while waiting for his forever home.Personality and SocializationArthur is a gentle and friendly dog. He approaches new people without much hesitation and is comfortable being handled. He enjoys physical affection and will gently paw at you if he feels he is not getting enough attention.Around other dogs, Arthur does well and has been good with the dogs at the shelter. He enjoys the company of dogs who are friendly and respectful of his boundaries. If another dog is too hyper, pushy, or constantly in his face, he may growl to communicate discomfort, but he has never caused trouble or started fights. Arthur would do best with calm and well mannered dogs rather than young, overly energetic, or dominant dogs. He has no experiences with cats. BehavioursArthur does well on walks when the environment is calm. However, he can become nervous around busy roads or large crowds. He rides well in the car without any fuss. Vet visits and bathing go smoothly because he trusts people and follows their lead without resistance. He is comfortable staying in his kennel and keeps his space clean. If someone tries to grab him suddenly or handle him too roughly, he can become scared.Health and DietArthur is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and up to date on his vaccinations. He also receives monthly parasite prevention. In the summer of 2025, Arthur underwent surgery for gastric volvulus. He has fully recovered and is healthy. He does not require any medication or special diet, but it is recommended to avoid vigorous exercise right after meals.He eats standard dry kibble with no known food sensitivities and happily accepts treats.Ideal HomeArthus would be happiest with a family living a peaceful and quiet life in a residential suburban area rather than in a busy downtown city. He would do best with someone who enjoys a calm and relaxed lifestyle, can spend time with their dog, and enjoys daily walks together. Arthus does not ask for much. He is a gentle soul who will simply be happy being near his people and sharing a quiet life with them.*Note: Currently, Arthur is in Korea but will be arriving in San Francisco once adopted.For more info about him or about the adoption application, please click here.
