Story
(7 years old, 11lbs) Personality: snuggler, affectionate, gentle, loyal, and eager-to-please. Couscous is an affectionate snuggler with a gentle, loyal, and eager-to-please personality that makes him an instant heart stealer. He loves leisurely walks so he can sniff and explore, and he happily entertains himself with his Kong. Once you sit down, expect him to curl up close and rest his head on your lap like the ultimate cuddle companion. He is mostly housetrained and continues to improve, and he is fully crate trained, settling quietly within about 15 minutes or less. Couscous is crated whenever his people leave the house, where he typically relaxes or naps peacefully until they return. He can be a little vocal when people first leave and may startle at loud noises, but with patience and consistency he continues to build confidence and independence. Couscous is friendly with guests and other dogs, does well on leash, and knows “sit,” “come,” and “good boy.” He is playful, travel friendly, and remarkably sweet, making him a wonderful fit for a loving home. If you are looking for a loyal, all-around sweetheart, apply today to meet Couscous. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC.

Story
**Important Adoption Information All of our dogs are currently living in private shelters or foster homes in South Korea. Once an adoption is approved, dogs will travel to the United States through legal and approved international transport procedures. Video calls are available prior to adoption, and adopters can communicate with our rescue team in real time through our official organization and app-based messaging channels throughout the process. ----------- • 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. Your support directly helps us continue rescuing and caring for dogs in need, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.

Story
Meet Harlee! This small, scruffy gentleman arrived one morning believing his people would be back any minute now, but as he waited, the truth settled in around him. They wouldn’t be returning, but maybe this place wasn’t so bad. Harlee is has a tentative sweetness and a body carrying a few extra pounds from a life that once had more routine than it does now. He absolutely loves being pet and snuggling with his humans - he's happiest curled up in a lap. He is neutered, housebroken, polite on leash, gentle with the other dogs, and familiar with the quiet presence of cats. He gets the occasional zoomies - complete with play bows! - and it's beautiful to watch him fly around with joy. Harlee is approximately 13 years old and X lbs. More details as we get to know him better. Fostered in Rockville, MD Please apply at MirisHaven.org
