Story
💙 Name: Duffy 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 2 years old (Born September 2024) 💙 Weight: 13 kg (approx. 28.7 lbs) 💙 ADOGS Instagram (KR): @adogs 💙 English Profile: @_adogs_rescue 1⃣ Medical History * Neuter Status: Completed * Microchip: Registered (Internal chip completed) * Other Notes: Heartworm negative 2⃣ Rescue Story Duffy was staying at the Miryang Shelter, where an ADOGS team member had been volunteering. The shelter was severely overcrowded with stray animals, and euthanasia lists were being posted periodically. Upon discovering Duffy's name on the list, ADOGS decided that rescue could no longer be delayed and stepped in to save him. 3⃣ Personality & Characteristics * Interaction with Humans: He is very shy around strangers and will not approach first, preferring to sniff from a distance while ducking away from touch. When treats are offered, he comes closer, and around familiar people, his startle response to movements or noises decreases, allowing him to rest comfortably. While he does not avoid familiar handlers, he generally spends his time quietly on his own rather than initiating contact. * Interaction with Dogs: At the shelter, he showed mild curiosity toward other dogs but preferred playing independently with leaves or spending time on his own rather than playing together. Occasionally, he was herded or crowded by other shelter dogs. * Interaction with Cats: Caution is required as he tends to bark when he sees cats. * Separation Anxiety: When his guardian returns home after an outing, he comes out of his room to check on them before returning to his own quiet space. * Potty Training: He uses indoor potty setups. When startled or frightened, he may accidentally pass stool. Retraining may be needed in a new environment. * Grooming & Hygiene: If approached slowly and petted first before touching his paws, he gently pulls his feet back slightly but accepts nail trimming with zero biting. While he still feels anxious, he stays calm and accepts thorough brushing sessions very well. * Leash Walking: Because walks are still unfamiliar, he gets fearful and avoids harnesses or leashes when he sees them, and extreme tension can cause accidental bowel movements. During outdoor sniffing sessions, he can get startled by the leash catching on his legs or the sound of motorcycles, requiring patient desensitization time for new environments and noise. * Motion Sickness: He gets extremely tense during car rides, which once caused an accidental bowel movement in the vehicle. * Biting/Defensive Reactions: He has never shown any growling or biting behavior. * Barking: He may bark out of vigilance or alertness. He barks for about 2 to 3 minutes when first placed in a kennel. Upon moving to a new space, he may display howling during the adjustment period. While this behavior can be somewhat noticeable initially, it quickly settles down as he adapts. * Personality & Tendencies: He is an independent soul who manages his alone time very well. He enjoys teething chew toys and nosework activities. Because he is timid, he feels scared of many new things including strangers, unfamiliar environments, physical touch, and outdoor walks. He needs a calm, patient family who will wait for him to open his heart at his own pace.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Keno is a striking Malamute/Husky mix with a big heart and an even bigger need for the right person to guide him forward. Sadly, his owner has passed away and Keno had been living with family who could not keep him.  Keno is now living at Malley Valley where he will be getting butt rubs and walks from our volunteers. This boy has all the classic northern‑breed charm: he’s smart, energetic, outdoorsy, and full of personality. Although he’s been living mostly outside recently, Keno is housebroken and has a foundation of basic commands — sit, lay down, and even roll over. He walked beautifully on leash for his owner and shows that same potential with new handlers once he settles his excitement. What is Keno Like Dog‑friendly and social — Keno enjoys the company of friendly dogs of all sizes and reads canine body language well. He thrives around dogs who are calm and confident. Smart and capable — He already knows sit, lay down, and roll over, and he walked beautifully on leash for his owner. With someone patient and consistent, he’ll pick up new skills quickly. Housebroken — Even though he’s been living outdoors more recently, he remembers his manners indoors. Energetic and fun‑loving — Keno has that classic northern‑breed enthusiasm and loves being active, exploring, and engaging with his people. Independent but eager to bond — He may be a work in progress, but he genuinely wants to connect. Once he trusts you, he tries hard to listen and learn. A respectful wanderer — He doesn’t dig or climb fences, but he does like to roam if given the chance, so secure fencing helps him stay safe while enjoying his space. His Ideal Home Keno will thrive with adopters who understand the Malamute/Husky mindset: independent, intelligent, and deeply loyal once bonded. His perfect match is a home with: No young children No small pets A securely fenced yard Owners experienced with high‑energy working breeds Patience and commitment to training Keno is a dog with incredible potential.  Keno is searching for a new home where he can rebuild his sense of security and belonging.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 22, 2026, 6:02 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Zeus — A Big‑Hearted Boy Looking for His Next Great Adventure Some dogs leave pawprints on your heart the moment you meet them — Zeus is one of those dogs. This handsome Malamute/Husky mix didn’t end up looking for a new home because of anything he did. His owner, who adored him deeply, faced an unexpected change in living circumstances and made the heartbreaking decision to let him go so he could continue living the active, joyful life he deserves. She describes him as a “total lovebug,” and it’s clear she wants nothing more than for him to find a family who will cherish him just as much as she has. A Daily Life Filled With Fun, Activity, and Connection Zeus is used to living life to the fullest. His days were spent: Going on energizing morning runs Playing in the backyard Practicing training exercises (with a little Mal/Husky-style attitude sprinkled in) He thrives with people who enjoy being outdoors, staying active, and including him in their daily adventures. If you’re looking for a companion who will happily join you on hikes, runs, or weekend outings, Zeus is your guy. A Social Butterfly With a Gentle Heart One of Zeus’s most endearing traits is how much he loves meeting people. He’ll walk right up, nuzzle into you, and politely ask for pets with those big, expressive eyes. He’s affectionate, loyal, and eager to bond with his humans. With other dogs, Zeus loves some female dogs and will often roll onto his back to show submission — a sweet, goofy gesture that fits his personality perfectly. However, with male dogs Zeus likes to be the alpha.  We recommend he not be in a home with other male dogs and carefully introduced to female dogs to see if they will get along. A Dog With Quirks That Make Him Even More Lovable Zeus has a few adorable quirks that make him unforgettable: He loves cat toys — not to destroy, but to care for. He treats them like his babies and carries them around gently. He’s a tug-of-war champion — when it comes to playtime, that’s his game of choice. He knows tons of commands — sit, lay, speak, paw, recall, up, down, drop it, and stay. He also knows how to negotiate — Zeus is smart enough to understand commands, but he’s also a Malamute/Husky… which means he sometimes prefers to perform them only when a treat sweetens the deal. His intelligence, combined with his playful stubbornness, makes him both entertaining and rewarding to train. What Zeus Is Looking For Zeus will thrive with a family who: Enjoys an active lifestyle Wants a dog who’s affectionate, social, and deeply loyal Can continue his training and keep his mind engaged Appreciates a dog with personality, humor, and heart Has the time and space to give him the life he’s used to He’s not just looking for a home — he’s looking for a partnership, a family, and a place where he can be his joyful, loving self. Zeus Is Ready to Start His Next Chapter If you’ve been dreaming of a dog who will run with you in the morning, cuddle with you in the evening, and make you laugh every single day, Zeus might be the perfect match. He’s a big-hearted Mal/Husky with endless love to give, and he’s ready to share it with someone who will treasure him just as much as his former owner did. Zeus isn’t just a dog — he’s a companion, a character, and a loyal friend waiting for his next adventure.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 22, 2026, 6:02 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. YUKON has been making huge strides in his socialization journey. This boy has transformed from a shy, laid‑back loner into a playful, outgoing goofball—with just enough dignity in his posture to make him look almost regal. YUKON has officially shed his “Mr. Shy Guy” persona. Not only has he found his confidence… he’s also found his voice. And trust us—it’s a big one! His joyful barks echo his newfound boldness, and we couldn’t be prouder of how far he’s come. Watching YUKON blossom has been an absolute joy, and we’re so excited to see him continue stepping into the wonderful dog he was always meant to be. We recommend that Yukon be adopted with his buddy Kit. Yukon and Kit are two very different personalities who fit together perfectly. Their bond has grown stronger with every passing day, and it’s clear they bring out the best in each other.  Yukon and Kit balance each other beautifully. Yukon’s calm, steady presence helps ground Kit’s whirlwind energy. Kit’s playful spirit encourages Yukon to come out of his shell and enjoy life. They play together, learn together, and find comfort in each other’s company. Separating them would mean undoing the emotional progress they’ve made side by side. Together, they’re confident, joyful, and thriving. The adoption fee would be $750 for both of them.
