Story
My previous owner must have fed me all the time so I ate all the time and now I need to get my svelte figure back with your help. I enjoy walking around at rescue, so I’m not a couch potato. I was in awful condition when I was rescued. My ears had handful of fur in them and I was pretty matted all over. I get along with everyone at rescue. I stay clear of the rowdy ones, but if they want to sit with me I’m good with that. I’m a good girl. I want a family that will keep me safe and I’ll reward you with lots and lots of love.

Story
    Meet Skyler Faith, 8 pounds of pure, snuggly love wrapped up in a tiny senior package. This sweet girl came to us as an owner surrender when her previous family couldn’t give her the time she deserves. She’s ready for a forever home where she can soak up all the love and give it right back. Skyler Faith is a devoted cuddle bug, who is calm and non-destructive. She's alert, engaged, and still has plenty of pep in her step. She enjoys getting out for walks and is great in the car, making her a lovely balance of cozy companion and active little sidekick. Despite her small size, she’s not a barky or yappy pup, which makes her a calm and pleasant presence in the home.   She can be a bit shy when meeting new people at first, but she warms up quickly and soon becomes your loyal best friend. Once she trusts you, she’s happiest right by your side.   As a senior gal, Skyler Faith would do best in a home where someone is around most of the day and can provide frequent potty breaks. She is crate trained and generally does well, though she has had a couple of accidents in the first couple weeks in her foster home when left alone and was unsure of her new place. Since then, she has had no accidents. Medically, Skyler Faith has a heart murmur that is well managed with medication and dry eyes, both of which require medication twice daily. She takes her meds like a champ and is very cooperative with her care. The vet also said she has luxating patellas, but her foster hasn't noticed any issues with that.    If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate dog who still enjoys walks, loves to snuggle, and will be endlessly grateful for a loving home, Skyler Faith may be your perfect match.  An Adoption Application for this dog can be found and submitted online. http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms  Please be sure to like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/angelsrescue.  Email inquiry@angelsrescue.org  Note: Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions. We verify rental policies and adhere to any regulations. Please ensure you understand those restrictions before choosing a dog.          April 26, 2026, 7:15 pm

Story
    Ghost Man    Meet Ghost Man — the 2yo 11lb Maltese mix who’s equal parts adventure buddy and cuddle monster! This handsome little guy comes with the cutest underbite you’ve ever seen, and he is absolutely ready to charm his way into your heart (and your bed, if you’ll let him).   Ghost Man has medium-to-high energy and loves a good long walk — or two. He’s the type to strut down the sidewalk like he owns the neighborhood, greeting every human and dog he meets like a long-lost best friend. Leash trained and house trained, he’s already got the basics down and knows his commands too, so he’s ready to settle right into his new home.   He gets along beautifully with kids, dogs, and cats, but what Ghost Man really needs is a wrestling partner — a fellow small-sized four-legged friend who loves to roughhouse and play. If you’ve got a dog at home who can match his energy and is looking for a teammate, Ghost Man might just be your perfect match. In fact, a canine companion isn’t just preferred — it’s pretty important. Ghost Man doesn’t do well as an only dog, and being left alone can trigger some separation anxiety. A furry roommate makes all the difference! He’s also a crate-friendly guy — he likes having his own little den — but he needs the freedom to come and go. Locking him in a crate or a room can stress him out, so an open-door policy works best for this little dude.   At the end of the day, Ghost Man loves to snuggle up — but don’t worry, he won’t be glued to your hip 24/7. He’s confident enough to do his own thing, whether that means sprawling out on the floor or flopping on his back in the bed like he pays the mortgage.   One thing to keep in mind: Ghost Man’s gorgeous coat will need regular professional grooming to stay looking its best, so make sure there’s room in the budget for upkeep!  An Adoption Application for this dog can be found and submitted online. http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms  Please be sure to like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/angelsrescue.  Email inquiry@angelsrescue.org  Note: Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions.

Story
Dastan isn’t just a dog—he’s a loyal, big-hearted companion waiting to be someone’s whole world. This loving boy thrives on attention and affection, and he’s happiest when he can soak up every bit of love you have to give. Dastan would do best as the only pet in the home, where he can truly shine and build a deep, one-on-one bond with his person. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend who will greet you with excitement, stay by your side, and fill your days with warmth, Dastan is ready to give you his whole heart.*Please be aware that he follows a strict low-fat diet, and his treats must be made with limited, simple ingredients.He will also need dental care and vaccinations completed immediately, looking for someone prepared to take that on right away.I am hoping to find a home that understands his needs and is ready to provide the care and attention he deserves. Please only apply if you are confident you can meet these requirements.

Story
• Rescue Story: Meet Tonki👋 In April 2025, a group of small dogs—believed to be victims of an illegal breeding operation—were found abandoned together on the streets of South Korea. Tonki was one of them. Now, he’s ready to leave his difficult past behind and begin a new chapter as a beloved member of a loving family. Having learned how to live happily with humans in his foster home, Tonki is patiently waiting for his forever home—where he’ll be cherished, protected, and loved the way he truly deserves. • Personality: Sweet, Friendly, Bright Tonki is a lovable, easygoing pup with a bright, happy energy. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves showing his humans just how much love he has to give! While he may need a little extra time to warm up to adult men, once he does, he becomes a loyal and devoted furry companion. • Affinity with - Dogs: Wonderful with other dogs! He’d do great as an only dog or as a second dog. - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Good with people, including kids / Needs a bit more time to warm up to adult men. • House Training: Fully housebroken - using pee pads indoors and going potty outside. • Walking Manners: Super gentle on leash and loves going for walks! • Bathing/Brushing: Tolerates both well. • Separation Anxiety: May howl briefly when first left alone, but once he settled, he relaxes and rests peacefully by himself. • Barks/Howls: Occasional barking when a male family member approaches suddenly. • Car Rides: Comfortable and calm • Appetite/Food Allergies: Big eater! / No food allergies found so far. • Likes/Dislikes: Likes to play with toys that make noise. / Not a fan of being lifted suddenly by a male family member • Shedding level (1~10): 1-2 • Health: Currently a healthy pup! He tested positive for heartworm when rescued, completed treatment successfully, and tested negative in Dec 2025. ----------- **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.
