Story
Pickles was turned into the shelter along with 8 others - including many of his littermates. They were not well socialized with humans but opened up a little every day and are doing well with humans and other dogs in the home. Pickles has turned out to be the most adventurous, the first to try something new. His interaction with his foster mom is getting better every day. He is doing well with house traing and crate training and bravely tackling leash walking. Pickles is not suitable with small children as he is still building confidense and learning to be brave. Adoption Fee $325 For an adoption application or to and to discuss how Pickles may be a good fit for your family contact Maria at 1dogrescue@gmail.com

Story
** Current location: in a foster home in South Korea ** Meet Lulu👋 In April 2025, a group of small dogs—likely victims of an illegal breeding operation—were found abandoned together on the streets of South Korea. Lulu was one of them. Her sagging nipples hinted at the harsh life she had endured, likely used repeatedly for breeding. Lulu is ready to leave her difficult past behind and finally enjoy life as a cherished member of a loving family. She’s looking for a forever home where she’ll be cared for and loved the way she deserves. • Personality: Gentle, Calm, Sweet Lulu doesn’t seem to have received much love from humans in the past. She doesn’t actively seek out attention or affection from volunteers, but she’s such a sweet and gentle little girl. We believe that with time and patience, once she learns how to interact and bond with people, her true personality will shine—just like any beloved family dog. • Affinity with - Dogs: Gentle around other dogs - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Good with adults / Not tested with kids, but we assume she would be good with all gentle people! • Walking Manners: In training—she gets quite nervous on a leash due to a lack of walking experience but also seems curious about the outdoors. With consistent practice, she’s likely to improve over time. • Housetrained: Will need housetraining in a new environment • Bathing/Brushing: Very good and calm • Car Sickness: Comfortable with car rides • Separation Anxiety: None • Barks/Howls: Almost none. • Appetite/Food Allergies: No food allergies found so far • Shedding level (1~10): 2-3 • Likes/Dislikes: She likes getting pets! / Not used to being lifted suddenly • Health: When rescued, Lulu was weak and suffering from hematuria caused by a bladder stone, which required immediate surgery. Thankfully, she has made a full recovery! However, she will need a bit of ongoing special care, such as a urinary health diet and limited calcium intake.
