**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.

**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!

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.
