Story

Tommie is a young at heart, 12 year old, male, maltese who weighs 8 pounds. He was used as a stud dog and since his breeding days are over he is no longer needed by his owner. We are hoping to find Tommie a loving home here in the NJ area. Tommie is good with people and with other dogs (obviously - lol). He has some teeth issues but they will be taken care of. He is described as having the energy and enthusiasm of a 5 year old - so even though he has now been neutered he is still ready to live the bachelor lifestyle! Personality: friendly, playful Good with: people of all ages (including kids), and dogs. Has not been cat tested yet. Estimated date of birth: 6/11/13 Weight: 8 pounds Medical: Fully vetted, up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped Location: Tommie is currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.

Story

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK&EWR💟 Meet Somsom☁☁ Somsom was rescued with her mother #AdogsDasom at a shelter in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do after the mountain fire. She stayed in a temporary shelter afterward. However, the chief of the shelter was in need of treatment of burns due to the fire, which makes her to lose the place to go. Therefore, Adogs urgently rescued her. * With People: Is a little shy and scared for strangers. Gets more startled especially at young children with big reactions. Is getting less alert and less shy with socialization training with the foster family. Is such a total cutie for familiar people that she keeps exposing her belly and asking for petting. * With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs, not fighting with them. Does not tend to play energetically but is a pacifist. Does not respond and ignores other dogs who tease or bark at her. Just growls them as a warning signal. Has a wonderful personality and got along well with the dogs at the center. * Separation Anxiety: Tries to find people when there are no one. When left alone, howls but only a few times. Training to fix the separation anxiety is necessary when the environment changes after adoption. It would be better to do it constantly! * Potty Training: Does potty indoors and uses pads accurately! Is very cautious and does potty outdoors only when it is quiet and comfortable. * Hygiene: Is a gentle dog who takes bath, toenail trimming, brushing, and ear cleaning nicely. Is so timid and sensitive to sound that she is a little afraid of dryers. * Walk: Is getting training after her interest in walking developed to a little pulling on the leash. Smells during the walk, but does not chase after other animals, like cats or birds. * Car Sickness: Waits in a car quietly without car sickness while traveling. ❗Health Condition❗ * Spayed: Yes. * Others: Microchipped, hernia surgery done, and is getting anaplasma treatment. * Had surgery on the left leg with a stage 3 diagnosis of dislocation of the patella. Care is needed to prevent her from excercising excessively after the surgery. Forster IG : @mongmong_friends

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.

Meet Luke! Breed: Maltese/Yorkie mix Age: 6 years &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Weight: 17 lbs Luke is a loyal little guy with a big heart and an even bigger personality! This Maltese-Yorkie mix takes his job as a protector seriously—he may be small, but he’ll always have your back. Whether it’s alerting you to someone at the door or curling up beside you to keep watch, Luke is happiest when he's with his people. He’s dog-friendly and does well with canine companions, but what he really dreams of is a low-traffic home where he can feel safe and relaxed. His ideal match? Someone who’s home most of the day and can give him the attention, snuggles, and stability he loves. Luke would do great with another resident dog to help him settle in.
