Story
Current Location: Frederick, MD Gambet is a great big, tender, and kind gentleman with a soft heart and soulful eyes. From the moment he arrived, he began looking to his people for guidance, quietly asking for reassurance and comfort. He is gentle, thoughtful, and deeply affectionate. As he settles in, Gambet has shown just how trusting he is. His ears were dirty when he arrived, and he calmly let them be cleaned. He even allowed a nail trim on each front paw without fuss. He loves being brushed, enjoys hands-on care, and happily leans in for pets. He sheds quite a bit, but grooming time is something he seems to find soothing and bonding. Gambet potties outside and slept well through the night. He whined a little at first, then settled and rested peacefully. He did not eat until the next morning, likely still decompressing and wondering where his old family went, but once comfortable, he ate and relaxed. He still whines softly from time to time, which feels less like anxiety and more like a gentle check-in with the world around him. He knows basic commands like sit and paw and is eager to please. He has already started giving sweet kisses and shows how much he enjoys human connection. Right now, you will often find him resting quietly, soaking up affection, and slowly learning that he is safe. Gambet is a very good boy with a huge heart. He will thrive with someone patient and kind who understands that sensitive souls need reassurance as they begin again. In return, Gambet will offer loyalty, affection, and steady companionship.

Current Location: Silver Spring, MD Hello! My name is Kiki! I'm coming to OPH on 1/23. Please check back soon for updates on my personality, and to see adorable new photos. I'm searching for... * someone who won't leave me home alone for more than 4 hrs, at least not until I am older. The older I am the more I can stay home alone. I just don't want you to get mad at me if I have accidents or chew things I'm not supposed to when you leave me for too long. I'm a puppy, so I get bored quick and when I'm bored I could get in trouble. * I am looking for my forever home, not my for right now home. So as I get bigger I need someone to teach me how to be the best dog I can be. I am young and still learning. You may want to teach me some new tricks like sit, stay, etc. Professional training will help me bond with you. That sounds like fun! * I saved the most important for last. I am hoping my new mom or dad will snuggle with me, play with me and love me forever and ever! I'm making my way north in search of my new family. Is that with you? If so apply today because this cuteness won’t be around for long!

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Little Bear is a 5-year-old Labrador Retriever/Beagle mix with a mostly black coat and a heart full of love for his people. This sweet boy adores adults and thrives on human companionship. He's affectionate, loves to snuggle, and gets genuinely excited when visitors come to the home. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will make you the center of his world, Little Bear is ready to be your shadow. Little Bear does best in a calm, predictable environment where he can be the main focus. He's housetrained, does well in the yard, and walks decently on leash without pulling. He's treat motivated and enjoys all the pets and attention you can give him. While Little Bear loves people, he's much more selective about canine company. He needs slow, measured introductions with other dogs, as quick meetings can overwhelm him and cause him to cower or retreat. He may tolerate another dog in the home, but he tends to tire of them after a while and would honestly prefer to have his humans all to himself. When encountering dogs on walks, he'll pull on the leash to escape the situation. His ideal home would be with adults only or a family with older, respectful children who understand his need for a peaceful environment. Little Bear is looking for someone who wants a devoted one-on-one relationship with a dog who will give them his whole heart. Requirements: Calm home, adults or older children, ideally the only pet or very careful consideration with other dogs.

House trained: Mostly, with an occasional accident Energy level: Medium Noise level: Quiet My foster guardian says: My favorite thing about Prissy iswell, everything! Likes: Walks, eating snacks, giving kisses, watching out the window, playing at the park Hi, my names Prissy, but I promise that Im anything but! My foster mom says she wants to keep me, thats how amazing I am! She thinks Im the perfect mix of energy and chill, with a whole lot of adorable mixed in. Her permanent pack is already full, but word on the street is that youre looking for a new pup to add to the family! Could I be your girl? My foster family cant say enough good things about me, and theyve fostered a lot of dogs! They know what they're talking about. According to them, Im super gentle and well-behaved, and I get along with everybody I meet. Have I mentioned that Im also good with cats?? Im basically an angel! My foster family also says that for being nine months old, Im unbelievably calm and easy going. Oh sure, Ill break out the puppy energy when its time to play, or go for a walk, but overall Im a very laid back lady. Im amazing in my crate, and very good at settling down in the house. I like to spend my days watching out the window, chewing on my bones, playing with my toys, napping, and of course getting all the snuggles and cuddles and treats! Im also food motivated and eager to please, so training with me is a breeze! I already know sit, and I walk beautifully on leash and sleep through the night in my crate. Id love to learn lots more tricks with my forever family too! As far as things Im working on, I can sometimes be a little shy, but I only just moved to the city, and my foster family says Im getting more confident every day. I also love digging holes, so if youre not looking for a landscaper...well, I'm sure we can work something out! One of the cutest things that I do is waiting patiently for my older doggy foster sibling on walks. He moves a little slower than I do, so I always sit and wait for him when he falls behind. Pretty adorable, right? But thats always been my M.O. Loyal and loving! By now Im sure youre convinced that Id be an amazing dog for you. I agree! So, what do you say? Should we get this adoption process rolling? Click that red button, and apply to adopt me today!

Story
House trained: Yes Energy level: Medium Noise level: Barks occasionally My foster guardian says: My favorite thing about Luna is just how sweet she is! Likes: hiking, napping, chewing on bones, playing with other dogs Hi there! Im Luna! My foster family describes me as happy, gentle, playful, and curious! In other words, Im all the fun parts of a puppy, without the extra work of training and socialization, because Ive already been there, done that! My foster family also says that of all the dogs theyve fostered, Im the one that theyve come the closest to foster failing with! Hear that folks? Theres some competition! Youd better snap me up quick! I ended up at the shelter after my previous family left me behind on their property when they moved. That was sad, and I still dont understand why they were done loving me, because I wasnt done loving them. But its okay, Im not dwelling on it! Im looking ahead to brighter days! Life at the shelter was okay (I was everybodys favorite, so that made things pretty easy), but things really started looking up when I met my awesome foster family! Living with a family again is the best! I love them so much! One of my favorite things to do is follow my foster mom around the house to keep her company while shes doing chores or working from home. Im always happy to get some snacks or pets in too! I like napping near her, and being a part of whatever activity shes up to. When Im not hanging out with my humans, I love spending time with my 2 foster doggy foster siblings! We play at the park together, go for long walks together, cuddle together, and keep each other company when our humans go to work. My foster family says that Im super respectful of their space, and I dont have any problem sharing toys or snacks. In addition to being very polite and easy-going, Im also totally potty trained, dont chew on things Im not supposed to, can stay home alone outside of my crate no problem, and even know a few tricks! Allow me to astound you. I know sit and off! You may now clap. Id be happy to learn even more with my forever family, whatever makes them happy! Im a girl in her golden years whos looking for a cozy spot to land where I can get all the love I deserve. Im more than willing to give humans a second chance, so now I just need someone to return the favor. Ive got so much love and joy to give, and I just want to share it! Think we might be a match?

Story
House trained: Yes Energy level: High Noise level: Barks occasionally My foster guardian says: My favorite thing about Erwin is how he chases his tail! Hes so silly! Likes: Walks, going for runs, playing at the dog park Hi, Im Erwin! My foster family describes me as a super smart, snuggly boy who loves to play! Im a curious guy, and like to be involved in everything thats happening around the house! I help out by following my foster mom from room to room to make sure she isnt lonely while shes doing housework, and sitting next to her while she's working from home. Once were out and about, I like to explore everything I can, and sniff all the smells! I also love stopping by the dog park to play, and I always have a blast when I get to see my friends at daycare too! I also enjoy playing with my toys, working on food puzzles, and snacking on my chews. My special favorite are the yak cheese ones. Have you tried those? Theyre the best! Ive been working with a trainer to help build up my confidence, and to become the best boy ever for my future family! I love training, and Im looking for a family who enjoy helping me keep up my skills and learn new tricks too! Im a smart cookie, and I already know a ton! Im potty trained and crate trained, and I also know sit, down, come, stay, off, heel, and place, and Im practising my leash skills every single day. I like when my routine stays the same, and I know what to expect from my day. A family who will be able to keep my schedule consistent is going to be the best fit for me! Im also still getting used to city life (you try moving from the middle of nowhere to a major metropolis), and I dont love loud noises. Id probably do best with a family who lives outside of the city, and who have a yard where I can relax and enjoy some peace and quiet. I cant wait to join my forever family and give them all of my love! If you think we might be a match, apply to adopt me today!

Story
Don't miss out on this gorgeous chocolate-coated boy! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Meet Jupiter aka Juju. He loves walks, playing tug-a-war, and doing food puzzles. He's one smart cookie! He has made SUCH incredible progress in the couple of months he has spent with his foster, working very hard to be a good boy. His biggest struggle is leash reactivity. It has been so rewarding to see his improvement through patient time spent outdoors, lots of treats and affirmation, and space from triggers (other dogs and bikes). Jupiter's special talent is that he can also jump baby gates and lock doors! He aims to please, loves to snug and give little kisses. He will need to keep working on his confidence around other dogs. We suspect that he will make a great running buddy. He has a good handle on potty training. Juju is quite comfortable in his crate, but sometimes feels left out and will let you know about it! He is a big ball of joy and will make a wonderful addition to an active home! -------------- Laila's Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any dog is housebroken nor crate trained.

📌 Important Adoption Information All of our dogs are currently living in private shelters or foster homes in South Korea. Once an adoption is approved, dogs will travel to the United States through legal and approved international transport procedures. Video calls are available prior to adoption, and adopters can communicate with our rescue team in real time through our official organization and app-based messaging channels throughout the process. • Rescue Story: Mongja was sold to an old man at a dog meat market. Luckily she was not slaughtered, but she was tied to a short leash and forced to guard the house and farm. A villager who took pity on her bought her from the old man, and that's how she was rescued. She is now protected and taken care of in a private shelter. • Personality: She is very playful, sweet, and smart. She gets along very well with other dogs and is very sociable. She's friendly with young children, but she's also sometimes seen to be wary of strangers, dropping to the floor when they visit or approach her unexpectedly. However, if you pet her, she would warm up quickly :) • Health: She is scheduled to be spayed in a month (Aug 2024). • Crate-trained: yes • Walking Manners: She tends to pull the leash on walks but will get better soon with training. 💙 Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation, Customs and export documentation, Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee. Your support directly helps us continue rescuing and caring for dogs in need, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.

Video calls are available prior to adoption, and adopters can communicate with our rescue team in real time through our official organization and app-based messaging channels throughout the process. • Rescue Story : Meet Dugger👋 an adorable pup with a beautiful smile! Dugger 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 Dugger 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 Dugger'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 Dugger can experience many activities he has been missing while staying in the shelter. • Affinity with -Cats: Not tested -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! 💙 Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation, Customs and export documentation, Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee.
