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. Your support directly helps us continue rescuing and caring for dogs in need, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.

Story
Logan is an 11-year-old Maltese who spent his life as a deeply loved companion to my parents. After they both passed away within the last six months, Logan is now looking for a new home where he can continue to receive the love, stability, and companionship he is used to. Logan is house trained, affectionate, and loves to cuddle. He is happiest when he is close to his person, whether sitting beside you on the couch, relaxing quietly nearby, or following you around the house. He has a gentle, calm, and loyal personality, making him a wonderful companion dog. He is up to date on his vaccinations, and about five months ago he had dental work that included a few tooth extractions. He healed very well and is doing great. Logan would do best in a loving, calm home where someone appreciates a sweet companion who enjoys quiet time and cuddles. The best words to describe Logan are gentle, loving, loyal, and affectionate, a true companion looking for a family to share his heart with.

Meet Falkor, a 2-month-old, 7-pound, male Maltese mix. Falkor is a bundle of joy who lives up to his legendary name!

He is also making excellent progress with his house manners, consistently hitting his target on the puppy pads.

Story
Meet Aspyn, a 2-month-old, 5-pound, female Maltese mix. Aspyn is a gentle soul who takes a little time to assess her surroundings, but once her shell cracks, she is all about the fun! She is a social girl who loves to keep up with other dogs of all sizes and even tries her best to recruit the resident cat for a game of tag. When it comes to bedtime, Aspyn is a total pro and handles her crate time with ease. She is doing a wonderful job with her potty pad training; while she’s still a puppy and has the occasional accident, she hits the mark the majority of the time. In her downtime, you can find Aspyn seeking out the perfect sunbeam for a nap or piling up with her siblings for a group cuddle. She is fantastic with children and is the ultimate companion for "TV time," where she can truly excel at her favorite hobby: snuggling. Aspyn is being fostered in Staten Island, NY and her adoption fee is $575.
