Story
🤍 Meet Apollo — A Handsome Explorer With a Heart of Gold! 🤍 3 years old | 56 lbs | All-white Husky | One brown eye and one half-brown, half-blue eye Just look at this gorgeous boy! 😍 Apollo is an all-white Husky with the most unique, captivating eyes and a personality that will make you fall head over heels. He’s playful, adventurous, affectionate, and always ready to make new friends. But behind that beautiful face is a story that deserves to be told. 🐾 His Story — Forgotten, But Never Giving Up Apollo was found living in a city park along the Texas/Mexico border. He had been there for at least six months, and some people believed he had been surviving there for more than a year. This wasn't some quiet, forgotten corner of town. It was a busy park where families gathered and games were played every weekend. People came and went, yet this poor boy was left to fend for himself, surviving by digging through the garbage people left behind. Can you imagine being so close to people every day and still having no one step up to give you a home? Thankfully, Apollo was finally taken in at the beginning of October 2026. His days of searching for scraps and surviving on his own are behind him. Now, this beautiful boy is ready to find the family who will make sure he is never forgotten again. 🤍 🐶 His Personality — Friendly, Fun, and Full of Life! Apollo is a happy, outgoing boy who loves being around people and other dogs. He has lived in a busy park surrounded by children and families, and he has been friendly with the people he has encountered. He absolutely LOVES other dogs of all sizes and enjoys running, playing, and exploring alongside his furry friends. He has also been cat-tested and simply ignores the cats! Apollo is an explorer at heart. He loves roaming around the property, checking everything out, and making sure he doesn't miss a thing. He has that wonderful Husky curiosity and adventurous spirit that makes every day an opportunity for something new. And when it's time to settle down? This clever boy knows his routine! When told to go into his crate, Apollo happily goes in and lies down. He is crate-trained and travels beautifully in the car, where he simply lies down and falls asleep. 🚗💤 🌊 Water, Wet Noses, and Hilarious Antics! If there's water around, Apollo is ready for fun! He loves getting wet, splashing around, and playing with his doggy friends. But here's where the entertainment begins: once he's thoroughly soaked, he likes to come straight over to his humans and shake himself dry all over them! Apparently, sharing the water is part of the fun. 😂💦 So if you're looking for a companion who will keep you laughing, join you on outdoor adventures, and make sure life is never boring, Apollo might be your perfect match! 🏃 Your Next Hiking and Running Partner! Apollo would thrive with an active family who enjoys getting outdoors. He would love to join you for hikes, runs, long walks, and adventures where he can explore the world by your side. His dream home would include: • A loving, active family who wants to include him in their daily adventures. • A securely fenced, spacious yard where he can stretch his legs and play. • Another friendly dog to share in the fun, as he truly enjoys canine companionship. • Plenty of opportunities for exercise, exploration, playtime, and affection. A home with another dog and a big yard would be his idea of paradise! As a Husky, Apollo will benefit from consistent exercise, mental stimulation, and a family who understands the needs of this energetic breed. 🤍 From Park Life to Family Life — Apollo Deserves His Happy Ending! Apollo has spent far too much of his young life surviving on his own when he should have been enjoying the security and love of a family. Despite everything, he is still a friendly, sweet, playful boy who loves people, adores other dogs, and finds joy in the simplest things. He hasn't lost his adventurous spirit or his desire to be part of a pack. Now it's time for Apollo to discover what it feels like to have a family of his very own — people who will take him on adventures, laugh at his silly water antics, give him a comfortable place to sleep, and love him for the rest of his life. He has the looks, the personality, and the heart. All he needs now is someone to give him a chance. Could Apollo be the missing piece of your family? 🤍🐾 Give this beautiful boy the forever home he's been waiting for. His next adventure should be with YOU!

Story
• Rescue Story : Meet Dawook👋 an adorable pup with a beautiful smile! Dawook was one of the 9 puppies found on a street in South Korea at just two months old and taken to a high-risk shelter. They were luckily saved right before euthanasia by the rescue team, but Dawook had to be hospitalized due to the mange treatment while all his siblings found their foster homes. Even long after he got a clean bill of health, he is still in the private shelter without a single chance to live in the loving home he deserves. This friendly pup is more than ready to find a forever home! • Personality: Friendly, Easy-going, Active Dawook's endearing and bright personality shines through with his charming smile and playful demeanor even in the shelter. We would like him to have a family who enjoys outdoor adventures so that Dawook can experience many activities he has been missing while staying in the shelter. • Affinity with -Cats: Curious about them -Dogs: Gets along with other dogs in the shelter, but due to his play style, it would be ideal as the only dog in the house. -Adults/Kids: Good with all people, including men and kids, but he hasn't lived with kids in a house before, so it will be necessary to watch him being around kids at the beginning. • Shedding: 5-6 • Food Allergies: No. • Walking Manner: good on a leash! • Housetrained: He would prefer to potty outdoors when adopted with regular walks. • Bathing/Brushing: tolerates both well • Separation Anxiety: None. • Bark or Howl: No. • Carsickness: No. • Like & Dislike: LOVES people, attention, and treats! • Health: a healthy boy! ** Adoption Fee Information: The adoption fee covers international transportation and medical expenses, including spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, a health certificate, deworming, and other necessary veterinary care. In addition to the adoption fee, adopters are responsible for separate entry costs, which must be paid directly to the local customs broker who assists with the dog's customs clearance upon arrival at the U.S. airport. Details regarding the payment process will be provided later.

Story
Dubu’s story is one of quiet endurance — and remarkable recovery. * Rescue Story : She was originally adopted by a family with four children who, without fully understanding the responsibilities of raising a dog, brought her home on impulse. From the beginning, Dubu did not receive the basic care dogs need. She was never taken on walks and spent all of her time indoors without proper stimulation or exercise. As she grew bigger, the family moved her out to the balcony, where she lived in isolation. Eventually, she was tied up in the parking area of their villa, spending her days confined to a short tether. During this period, Dubu became infected with heartworm. In 2023, when the family moved to a new home and could no longer keep her tied outside, they brought Dubu to our shelter. They covered only the cost of her heartworm treatment, and she was officially surrendered into our care. Dubu then began a long but necessary journey to recovery. She underwent six months of heartworm treatment and made a full recovery. Afterward, she remained at our center for over a year and a half, where she was given the structure and care she had never experienced before. During her time with us, Dubu learned how to be a dog again. She developed healthy social skills with other dogs, learned proper leash manners, and became fully house-trained. With consistent care and routine, her true personality began to emerge. *Personality : Dubu has a gentle and patient nature, especially with children. She is affectionate and warm toward people, enjoying human companionship. When it comes to other dogs, however, her personality becomes much more playful—she is energetic, lively, and truly comes alive during playtime. Despite her energy, Dubu is not a frequent barker and tends to be relatively quiet. * She is currently staying in a foster home(South Korea), but as it is a multi-dog household, we hope to find her a home where she can receive more focused attention—either as the only dog or with just one other companion. Dubu has spent much of her life adapting to circumstances she did not choose. Now, she is ready for something different—a home where she is not overlooked, but truly seen, cared for, and loved. ** Adoption Fee Information: The adoption fee covers international transportation and medical expenses, including spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, a health certificate, deworming, and other necessary veterinary care. In addition to the adoption fee, adopters are responsible for separate entry costs, which must be paid directly to the local customs broker who assists with the dog's customs clearance upon arrival at the U.S. airport. Details regarding the payment process will be provided later.
