Meet Lucille, a 2 year old Labrador! Lucille was captured by urban management in November 2024. Back then she was skinny as bones and had a skin condition. Now she is all healed up and with a foster family. At her foster family's, Lucille has learned lots - she walks great on leash, loves to cuddle with her humans, and gets along great with other dogs! Lucille is just such a love bug! Lucille does have a slight condition - when she is overly excited or in a new environment, she will occasionally clatter her mouth. We have done testing on her but have found nothing wrong psychologically or physically. The doctors believe they are idiopathic tremors. She is currently on meds but condition has not worsen or improved. This will stay with Lucille her entire life, and may evolve into epilepsy in the worst case scenario. She is currently in China, but available to fly to you in the coming months. Please send us an email if you are interested in learning more about Lucille and our adoption process!

HIDDEN GEMMeet this beautiful lady, a smart and spirited girl looking for her perfect forever home.

This young girl thrives in a calm, quiet, adult-only environment with an experienced dog owner who can provide an active yet structured lifestyle. She needs daily leash walks, a securely fenced yard, and a home without cats. Due to her high arousal levels, she`s not suited for a home with children. Proper dog introductions in controlled settings are essential, she has done some dog play here in the shelter and is an exuberant player who likes the rough and tumble type play. More introductions will be needed with a variety of dogs before she would be ready for off leash parks with unknown dogs. A private behavior training class is required with her adoption. Her new family must be ready to engage her with enrichment tools like interactive bowls, hand-feeding, and food-based games to help her grow into her best self. With patience, guidance, and love, she`s sure to become a loyal and rewarding companion.She is a medium to large girl at 64lbs.

Meet Chester, an XL 5-year-old Labrador mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Chester is seeking an active, structured home with an experienced dog owner. He thrives on routine, enrichment, and daily leash walks, and would do best in a home with a secure fenced yard where he can safely enjoy outdoor time. Due to his size and handling sensitivities, homes with small children are not suitable—older children (around 12+) may be considered at the discretion of the adoption team. Chester has had a few play buddies here and he has shown his patience when they want to play hard, he likes to play for short burts. Monitoring interactions with new dogs to continue to observe his sociablility with different personalities will be important. His ideal adopter will be committed to continuing his training through a basic manners or private behavior class and implementing a food program that includes hand-feeding, interactive toys, and trade-up exercises. If you`re ready to invest in a loyal, intelligent companion, Chester is ready to meet you. He is an extra-large boy at 102lbs.

I may be just a puppy, but I’ve already come a long way! I was born at an oyster farm in Tongyeong, where my siblings and I were left to fend for ourselves with our mom. Thankfully, we were rescued, and now I’m healthy, happy, and growing stronger every day! I have a warm, gentle heart and absolutely love people. Even when I meet someone new, I’m friendly and affectionate right away. Whether you're young or old, I’m ready to be your buddy! I also love playing with other dogs and get along really well with them—I'm super social and love being part of the fun. I haven’t met any cats yet, but because I’m so gentle and curious, I think I could learn to live peacefully with them if introduced slowly and kindly. I'm still young and learning, but I’m already doing well with crate training and I prefer to go potty outside. I'm working on my leash manners, and I hardly ever bark—just when I really need to go out. I love being petted and will melt into your hands with a big, happy smile. At home, I might chew a little on sticks or plastic toys (what pup doesn’t?), but I don't show any resource guarding with food or toys, and I’ve never shown any signs of aggression. I’m full of energy and curiosity, learning about the world one day at a time—and I love doing it with people by my side. Spending time with humans is my favorite thing in the world. I have so much love to give, and I’m not afraid to show it. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal, and fun companion who’ll bring warmth and joy into your life, I just might be your perfect match. Will you be my forever family? 💛 With love, Daniel 🐾

A sweet and sensitive 3-year-old spayed Lab mix looking for a special forever home. She thrives in a calm, quiet environment with structure and routine, making her best suited for an adult-only household. Due to her shy nature and sensitivity to handling, she is not recommended for homes with children. She will need a patient and experienced dog owner who understands her breed and is committed to helping her build confidence through positive reinforcement and consistency. A fenced backyard is essential for her safety, as she is not ready for off-leash parks until she has built a strong recall and bond. She enjoys daily leash walks and will benefit from a structured food program, including hand feeding, to support her bonding process. Controlled dog introductions are necessary, and she would do best with a calm canine companion or as the only dog. Enrollment in a basic manners class or private behavior training is required to help her continue to grow.
