Story
Meet Bebe!! Bebe was rescued from illegal puppy mill by Dorothy Rescue(ADOGS's partner 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.

Story
✅️Currently located in South Korea✅️ Meet Noah🤍 Noah was rescued from a breeding facility along with Aji and Aki by Adogs and adopted later. He was returned to Adogs due to the untimely death of his adoptor in September 2024. Noah is looking for a family in order to overcome the sorrow of being apart from his family and live a new life. * With People: Is extremely friendly and loves both familiar and new people. Actively approaches for pets and affection, showing his sweet and affectionate personality. * With Dogs: Is very social and gets along well with both dogs he has lived with and new canine friends. Generally coexists peacefully but may show a bit of cute jealousy if another dog gets all the attention. * Separation Anxiety: Waits quietly and peacefully when his foster leaves the house. Remains calm when left alone with other dogs or people. * Potty Training: Has a 100% success rate with pee pads but tends to go near the edges of the pad. Using a fenced pee pad area helps keep his aim accurate. Prefers to poop outside rather than indoors. * Hygiene: Stays calm and tolerates baths, drying, and brushing without any issues. * Walks: Does well on a leash without pulling and naturally matches his handler’s pace. 💌Special Notes💌 * Briefly barkis when a stranger enters the house—this usually lasts only a moment. Normally about 5 minutes, but on high-energy days, he may bark for 20-30 minutes. * Gets excited at mealtime and tends to eat quickly, so he benefits from slow feeding techniques. ❗Health Condition❗ * Neutered. * Others: Microchipped, underwent surgery for bladder stones and had molars extracted. * Has cataracts in his left eye, currently being monitored with eye drops. * Experiences hearing difficulties.

Story
❗Current Location: in a foster home in South Korea❗ Meet Haengsoon! Your Future Best Friend Haengsoon is an incredibly adaptable dog who quickly made herself at home in her foster environment. She’s the kind of dog who can just lay back and relax without a fuss. Haengsoon adores people and is full of affection, often following her human around like a little shadow. While she’s not a fan of other dogs, she’s been well-trained with basic commands like sit, stay, lie down, come, no, and paw. She’s already accustomed to wearing a harness and enjoys grooming sessions, including brushing. Haengsoon has no interest in trash or human food, so you won't have to worry about her getting into mischief. Though she does shed a bit, her potty training is flawless—she knows how to use both the bathroom and pee pads perfectly. Haengsoon absolutely loves her walks and is always excited to go outside. She’s also a quiet companion who doesn’t bark when the doorbell rings or when people come inside. However, she may occasionally bark briefly if she hears sudden noises outside the door. Haengsoon isn’t a fan of having her nails trimmed, but she doesn’t suffer from separation anxiety, making her an easy-going and independent dog.
