Story
🤍 Meet Mallow — a TINY little dog with a big heart and a chance to help others. 🤍 Mallow is about 7 years old, dog friendly, and as sweet and cuddly as they come. He came into the rescue after being dumped in a NC community. Now he’s fully vetted and ready to find a loving home where he can be someone’s cherished little companion. Mallow deserves a family who will love him and give him the forever home he deserves—and his adoption fee will help other dogs get the same chance he now has. ❤️ ———————————- ❗️Important note about the adoption fee: Mallow is among the handful of Arcadia Animal Rescue’s “Hero Dogs” and we want to explain what that means. Arcadia has helped save thousands of animals and currently have over 250 on our caseload. We are run by unpaid volunteers and our only form of income is adoption fees and donations. Yet we continue to take in the animals who are the most overlooked—the pitties and other large breeds who take longer to place, all the while continuing to provide medical care, medications, training and/or boarding when needed, food/supplies, transport, etc. for as long as it takes to get them adopted. Instead of going to a breeder who is profiting off the lives of these animals, by adopting a “Hero Dog”, you are literally saving not just one, but the lives of many others since every single dollar goes directly to the care of the animals in the rescue. The funds that a “Hero Dog” brings in to the rescue are *critically* needed now more than ever, and it gives us the ability to say yes to the next animal who needs help. Thank you for partnering with us in this mission to save these innocent lives!

Story
• Current Location: at a private boarding clinic in South Korea • Rescue Story: Meet Song👋🏻 She was found wandering the streets of South Korea in June 2026. She ended up at a high-kill shelter but was thankfully rescued just in time. Given that she seems more comfortable around dogs than people, we assume she was once at a puppy mill :-( She is now being taken care of at a private boarding clinic, while patiently waiting for her forever family who is understanding and patient with her adjustment! • Personality: Calm, Sweet, Gentle • Affinity with - Dogs: Comfortable around other dogs. - Cats: Not tested but should be fine, given her calm personality and her low energy level. - Adults/Kids: She might take some time to open up to new people, but once she does, she will show you her affectionate sides🥺 • Walking Manners: Easy to handle, but needs more experiences to build confidence! • Housetrained: Needs house-training in a new environment. • Bathing/Brushing: Good with baths and brushing. • Car Sickness: Good with car rides. • Separation Anxiety: None • Barks/Howls: A few barks at new faces from distance. Other than that, usually quiet. • Appetite/Food Allergies: Eats well. No food allergies found so far. • Shedding level (1~10): 1-2 • Likes/Dislikes: She likes treats and being around friends! • Health: - Song had a skin condition when rescued, which has been fully treated and resolved. She is currently taking allergy medication as a precaution. - She has mild patellar luxation (approximately Grade 1.5) in both hind legs and a slightly weakened left hip joint. Neither condition currently requires treatment, and both can be managed with routine monitoring. Senior wellness checkups every 6 months are recommended. ** Adoption Fee Information: The adoption fee covers international transportation and medical expenses, including spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, a health certificate, deworming, and other necessary veterinary care. In addition to the adoption fee, adopters are responsible for separate entry costs, which must be paid directly to the local customs broker who assists with the dog's customs clearance upon arrival at the U.S. airport. Details regarding the payment process will be provided later.

Story
We have had Polo and Prince since they were born. Polo is 7 years old and Prince is 6. They love eachother very much and will need someone to adopt them together. Polo is a very smart and loyal dog. However, he is very reactive, has anxiety and can be aggressive. He does not enjoy being picked up. He has never bit anyone but will charge at people he does not know. He requires patience. Prince is a goofy teddy bear, he does not require as much training or patience as polo. Prince enjoys being cuddled. They are not house trained. Even if taken for walks they will still go potty on the house, not always on a wee wee pad. They are not good around small children or other dogs. They need someone that will dedicate time to them. They are our first dogs and although we love them very much, our lifestyles have changed and we do not have the time to care for them as we once did.

Story
Lady’s a 7yo 10lb Maltese mix. She’s dog selective, cat and kid 13+ friendly. She’s housebroken if kept on a schedule but will wear a diaper and use pee pads and crate trained. She’s good in a secure fenced in yard and/or going for harness leashed walks. She’s agile, smart, likes squeaky toys, people and going for walks but will bark at people, dogs and noises. She is easy startled so best to sleep in a dog bed on the floor so not to accidentally wake her while sleeping. Lady’s foster requires a calm home, where someone is home often, so not to be left for long periods of time, be an only dog, brushed/groomed often to prevent matting along with leadership, consistency, structure and to continue working on training. If your home DOES NOT meet these requirement’s please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone whose home does not meet the needed requirements. Also, we will be concentrating on local to foster applications 1st since home checks and meets with all humans and animals in home is needed at meet. Our fosters are all volunteers so aren’t always able to travel too far. Lady as all dogs should have 2 weeks in their new home with just their people who live in the home and to not have people over for at least 2 weeks. Dogs need time to settle in and adjust to their new people and environment first so they can learn to trust them first. Lady takes medication for a seizure disorder and for her eyes. She’s spayed, vaccinated, HW negative and microchipped. Currently in Phila, PA. If your home meets the needed requirements and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at www.tprescue.org
