Story
Meet Fozzie Bear! Fozzie is an outgoing and energetic puppy. Fozzie is playful and bouncy. He bounces around the backyard like he is on a pogo stick and sometimes likes to run as fast as his little legs will take him. Fozzie has a great little personality and is very easy going. Fozzie is being fostered with other dogs and loves to play with them, although he doesn’t always listen when the other dogs tell Fozzie they’ve had enough. When he finally gets tired, Fozzie takes a nap in the nearest dog bed. Fozzie is a puppy. He will steal your shoes and chew its shoelaces, steal your slippers and try to destroy them. He will grab any napkin, tissue, paper he can find and shred it. Any human or dog toy he thinks is his and will go into his mouth, including your fingers. You can try picking up his toys, but he will spread them around the entire house and yard. In short, your once neat and tidy home may never be the same. Fozzie is doing pretty well with his potty training, but he is not potty trained. He also will need leash lessons to learn about walks. At the moment, he believes leashes are simply the greatest chew toy. Fozzie does sleep quietly in his crate most nights. Fozzie will do best in a home with children or other dogs. He is too active to be in a “one walk a day and sit and read with me” household. Fozzie has been neutered and is up-to-date on his shots. He will require continual grooming to keep his coat from becoming a knotted mess.Fozzie is currently about 18 weeks and weighs 8lbs. We believe Fozzie will be around 20 lbs when full grown. He is likely a Poodle mix, maybe Maltese? Havanese? Or Westie? We cannot, however, assume is a hypoallergenic dog. Breed and size are our best guesses, no guarantees! If interested in adopting Fozzie, please submit an adoption application. We will arrange meet and greets with approved applications. Please note, a meet and greet does not mean you will be selected to adopt Fozzie. We will select the application/home we feel is best for Fozzie.Our adoptions are restricted to residents within 30 miles of the South Bay area of Los Angeles. We do not ship animals or do long distance adoptions. See our adoption policies for more details on our adoption process. If you are interested in adopting one of our available pups, please complete an adoption application. You can find the application at: https://noahs-bark.org/adoption-application. We will arrange a meet and greet with the pet with approved applications only. Please note, an approved adoption application and meet and greet does not guarantee you will be selected to adopt the pup. We do not show our dogs any other time.

Story
Meet QQ🧡 QQ was rescued from an illegal breeding facility in South Korea, where she lived in a cramped cage with accumulated waste and fur beneath, making standing painful and emitting strong ammonia fumes. She is now adapting to everyday life and is expected to become healthier and happier soon! ** Health Status - Scaling done, two teeth extracted - Originally had poor skin condition leading to severe grooming and medicated baths; currently much improved and non-contagious. - Due to periodontitis, her gums have receded, causing instability in her teeth. This prevents her from eating hard food, and she requires soft kibble and snacks. - Has an eye injury but no vision impairment. * Interaction with People: Loves people but initially fears strangers, especially men. Takes time to warm up, but once comfortable, she follows around, wags her tail, and likes to be by your side. * Interaction with Dogs: Shows little interest in other dogs and prefers spending time alone. * Interaction with Cats: Indifferent; passes by without much notice. * Separation Anxiety: Minimal; manages well alone and spends most of the time sleeping when the family is out. * Potty Training: She prefers indoor potty training and is proficient with using pads. She occasionally confuses blankets with her potty spot but is improving. She also does well with outdoor potty training during walks. * Hygiene: She cooperates well during baths. Nail trimming can be frightening and cause some fuss, but she stays calm. She is also good with brushing and drying. * Walking: Ignores other animals, walks without pulling, and matches the walker's pace. * Car Sickness: Travels well in the car without any signs of motion sickness. * Very gentle with no biting, even when touched or petted by strangers. 💙 Foster's Instagram: @p.ssshhj

Story
Meet Bebe!! Bebe was rescued from illegal puppy mill by our Dorothy Rescue. Behaviours from foster home : Bebe is a very loving and affectionate boy who longs to be cherished by his family. While he may be shy at first, given some time, he will bloom like a sunflower! He gets along well with other dogs and is very gentle with them. Although he hasn't had a chance to meet any cat friends yet, his foster mom believes he would also be gentle with them. When meeting strangers, he can be a bit timid initially. He’s not aggressive; he just needs some time to adjust to new family members and environments. Please be patient as he becomes more comfortable with you! :) Although he’s a little apprehensive about bathing, he manages well and enjoys being brushed. He has excellent grooming habits and good walking manners. He is pee-pad trained with an 80% success rate and is making progress! Bebe is not a big barker and is a very calm boy. He may experience a bit of separation anxiety, but he only howls for about 3 to 5 minutes before settling down. While he isn’t a fan of being in a crate, he remains calm when asked to stay there. Though he may be a bit shy at first, Bebe is such a sweet, calm, and affectionate boy who loves to be cuddled by his family. Would you be his loving pawrents who will spoil him with affection? Allergy/health issues : He hasn’t shown any allergic reactions and behaves well at the vet. He is a healthy, perfect, and loving boy! *Please send all inquiries to @everlove8282. *Please submit your applications through the application form on our Instagram profile! Our team will carefully consider each of your applications to find the perfect forever homes for our dogs. *As all of our dogs are currently in South Korea, there will be an adoption fee of 700USD + customs fee (if applicable) for each dog.

Meet Cotton!! Cotton was rescued from illegal puppy mill by our Dorothy Rescue. Behaviours from foster home : Cotton is a calm and sweet girl who craves love and affection. Currently staying with other dog in her foster home, she gets along well with her, although she may prefer to keep her distance from overly hyper pups. She is comfortable around cats, usually observing them from a distance. Cotton is great with both adults and children, taking her time to approach strangers and greet them quietly. While she tends to be calm, she can also be playful and will sometimes nibble her foster mom's hand when she's excited. Though she’s a bit apprehensive about bathing, she handles it well and enjoys being brushed. Cotton has excellent walking manners and is pee-pad trained. She’s not a big barker, but she might bark happily when excited or to warn other hyper dogs. She doesn’t suffer from separation anxiety and enjoys resting in her kennel, even if she isn’t kennel-trained. Cotton is a gentle, loving girl who truly deserves a forever home. Could you be her loving pawrents? Allergy/health issues : She hasn’t shown any allergic reactions. Although she doesn’t have many teeth left, she loves to eat and takes her time. Fortunately, she doesn’t have any dental issues at the moment. She also underwent a patella operation after we rescued her. *Please send all inquiries to @everlove8282. *Please submit your applications through the application form on our Instagram profile! Our team will carefully consider each of your applications to find the perfect forever homes for our dogs. *As all of our dogs are currently in South Korea, there will be an adoption fee of 700USD + customs fee (if applicable) for each dog.
