Story
Cocoa is the best little pup you could ask for. Despite the awful he has been through, his gentle personality shines through. Cocoa’s owner of 13 years passed away and the family didn’t want him. He found himself left at one of the Riverside County Campus’ completely confused. He was on the at risk list and local rescues were not interested. Our team simply could not leave him there. This old man deserved so much better. It was clear that he had been neglected for some time; he was emaciated and his teeth were rotted to the jawbone. It is one of the worst cases that we (and our vets) have ever seen. He had to undergo many extractions and his mouth had to be reconstructed in areas where the rot had completely infiltrated his gums and there was little to no gum left. Many teeth were just dangling. It’s incredible that he had survived the pain and deep infections. Despite the journey here and his recovery from that and the complex surgery; Cocoa continues to show us his will to live and his desire to love. His story was not over yet!

Story
✅️Currently located in South Korea✅️ Meet Noah🤍 💙 Noah’s Account: @aki.noa.sushi 1. Health • Neutering/Spaying: Completed • Other: Microchipped; had bladder stone surgery and molar extraction. Fully blind in one eye due to cataracts. Experiences coughing when temperatures drop, requiring steroid medication if coughing occurs. Has partial hearing loss. All teeth except molars have been extracted, so he cannot eat hard treats. 2. Rescue Story • Noah was rescued from a breeding facility alongside Aji and Aki before Adogs officially formed. He was adopted, but after his adopter passed away suddenly in September 2024, Noah returned to Adogs. He is looking for a family to help him overcome his grief and begin a new chapter of life. 3. Personality & Habits • With People: Very affectionate and sweet, loves both strangers and familiar people, and often approaches first asking for pets. • With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs, both familiar and new friends. May show cute jealousy if another dog gets attention. • Separation Anxiety: Calm when left with Aki, though Aki has separation anxiety that affects Noah. If left with another dog or person, he waits quietly. • House Training: Fully pee pad trained (100% accuracy), though he prefers pooping outdoors. He tends to pee near the edge of the pad, so surrounding it with a fence or holder is helpful. • Hygiene/Grooming: Very calm and well-behaved during baths, drying, and brushing. • Walking on Leash: Walks well on a leash without pulling and keeps pace nicely. 4. Special Notes • May bark briefly when a stranger enters the room for the first time. In the evenings, he may bark for 5 minutes normally, or 20–30 minutes if he has extra energy. • Has a strong food drive and eats quickly when excited for meals, so feeding slowly and calmly is recommended.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to YVR & YYZ💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. 💙 Name: Hoonie 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 2 years old (Born around July 2024) 💙 Weight: 2.5 kg (approx. 5.5 lbs) 💙 Huni's News Account: @imbo_huni ​1️⃣ Health Status * ​Neutered: Yes. * ​Other: Microchipped, and heartworm negative. ​2️⃣ Rescue Story * ​Hoonie was staying at the Gimje Shelter, enduring the sweltering summer heat with his tiny body. He was covered in ticks and exhausted from malnutrition. Concerned for his health, Adogs urgently rescued him. ​3️⃣ Personality & Characteristics * With ​People: Loves people and has zero shyness! Is a total lap dog who loves asking for pets and sitting on warm laps. * With ​Dogs: Hasn't met other dog friends yet. * With ​Cats: Hasn't met any cats yet. * ​Separation Anxiety: Hasn't been left alone for long periods so it's hard to tell precisely. But since he sleeps separately without issues, he likely doesn't have much separation anxiety. * ​Potty Training: Uses indoor potty pads. Shows a 60–70% success rate for pee, while poop has been 100% successful after just a couple of early mistakes. Since he made a mistake on his cushion once, it was removed for training purposes. Is steadily learning at his foster home. * ​Grooming/Hygiene: Doesn't love it, but tolerates it very patiently. * ​Walks: Has no walking experience yet as he is waiting for his vaccinations. * ​Car Rides: Rides cars very well without motion sickness—usually falls asleep within 5 minutes. * ​Biting: Has never shown any biting behavior. * ​Barking: Doesn't bark. Might whine briefly out of demand when his foster parent enters a room or prepares food, but gives up quickly if ignored. * ​Likes: Sitting on people's laps, and getting treats. * ​Dislikes: Scared of the vacuum cleaner sound. * ​Tricks: Knows "Wait" and "Eat". * ​Overall Personality: A affectionate pup who adores people. When playing, he's super energetic and jumps around happily! But when humans are busy or go into their rooms, he calmly goes back to his own spot to rest. Is naturally quiet and has never barked at doorbells or loud noises.
