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.

Meet Petit ❤️️, a sweet little Maltese-Terrier mix who is looking for her forever home. Petit was rescued just in time from a kill shelter before she faced euthanasia, and now she's ready to begin her new chapter in a loving home. ❤️Health & Vaccinations Petit is fully vaccinated, neutered, and has no known health issues. She is in great shape and ready to find a family to call her own. ❤️Personality & Behavior Petit is incredibly friendly and gets along well with everyone, regardless of age or gender. She’s affectionate with people and enjoys spending time with her family. She is also wonderful with children and has no problem with male or female family members. When it comes to other dogs, Petit is friendly and playful—she loves meeting new dogs and greeting them with enthusiasm. She’s not particularly interested in cats, showing no reaction when around them. Petit is not aggressive in any situation, making her an easygoing and adaptable companion. She has a moderate energy level (about 2-3 out of 5), so she enjoys playtime but also loves lounging and being around her people. ❤️Training & Habits Petit is well-leash trained, enjoys walks, and behaves well on a leash. She is comfortable in a kennel and doesn’t mind being crated. She is potty trained and prefers to do her business outdoors, but she also knows how to use a wee pad when needed. ❤️Behavioral Traits Petit is a quiet dog and rarely barks, making her an excellent choice for someone seeking a calm and peaceful companion. She has no escape instincts and won’t run off. She loves being petted and has no issues with being touched anywhere on her body. She is not destructive and doesn’t have any tendencies to chew or destroy items. Petit is not obsessive about food, toys, or anything else—she’s a relaxed and easygoing dog. ❤️Ideal Home Petit is a perfect match for any family or individual looking for a sweet, affectionate, and well-behaved dog. She is friendly with people, great with kids, and gets along with other dogs, making her an ideal companion for a variety of living situations. Petit doesn’t have any major demands and would thrive in a loving home where she can relax, play, and be showered with affection. If you think Petit could be the perfect addition to your family, don’t miss the chance to give this wonderful pup the forever home she deserves. 💕

Story
Handsome Bell will arrive in the PNW in just over a week, and we would love for him to be welcomed into her forever home, or aloving foster home. Bell's human became ill and was hospitalized not to return home, so Bell has been living at our partner shelter in Korea, waiting for his turn to fly. Bell is a tiny 7# Maltese fellow, gorgeous and just wants a human to love on him and cuddle all day. Bell is shy on first meeting, but warms to kind people, and will be your very best friend and cuddle buddy. Bell is neutered and current on all vaccinations, and has excellent house manners. At 6 years old, Belle is a grown up pup just looking for his forever.

Story
 Quick Facts  Name: Popeye Age: Approximately 2 years old Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Maltese Mix Color: White with Beige Weight: 6 kg Height (to shoulder): 30 cm Microchip Number: 410160010784129 Health History Vaccinations & Preventatives                •             Vaccinations are up-to-date:                             Core vaccines (Distemper, Parvo, Rabies) completed on January 13, 2025.                             Kennel Cough and Influenza scheduled for January 27, 2025.                •             Tested negative for heartworm on December 8, 2024. Surgeries & Dental Care                •             Neutered.                •             No prior surgeries or dental procedures. Special Notes                •             My left hind foot has a unique story—one of my toes is missing. The area has healed beautifully, but the fur is still growing back. This makes it look a little pink, and I do occasionally give it a lick. My caregivers think it’ll be fully covered in fluffy fur soon!                •             No known allergies or joint issues. My Personality I’m a social butterfly with both people and dogs. New faces? Bring them on! I’ll trot up, wagging my tail and ready to be your best friend. Whether it’s adults, kids, or other pups, I have a knack for making everyone feel welcome. I’m a big fan of cuddles and don’t mind being picked up or held. You can cradle me in your arms, and I’ll relax without a fuss. Even when it’s time for grooming—nail trims, baths, or brushing—I’m patient and cooperative. Oh, and did I mention I’m totally unfazed by noisy vacuums? (Although, I’ll admit, I’m still warming up to hair dryers!) When it’s playtime, I transform into a little ball of energy, eager to run, jump, and play to my heart’s content. But don’t worry—I’m not overly hyper. I just love life and want to share my excitement with you! My Daily AdventuresWalks are one of my favorite activities. I’m a pro on the leash, staying close to your side without pulling. My curiosity keeps me sniffing around, but I always listen and follow your lead. While I’m naturally energetic, after a good walk or play session, I settle down beautifully and enjoy relaxing by your side. I’ve also got some adorable talents—like hopping into cars all on my own! Whether it’s a short drive or a road trip, I’m ready to be your travel buddy. At HomeI’m a versatile pup who’s comfortable both indoors and outdoors. I’ve mastered using pee pads indoors for my business, though I prefer taking care of everything outdoors when given the chance. I’m also incredibly polite around food—I never guard my meals or treats, even when other dogs are around. One thing that makes me special is my calm demeanor. I rarely bark and adapt quickly to new environments. My Dream HomeI’m searching for a family that’s full of love and ready for adventure. Here’s what I hope for in my forever home: A family that enjoys the outdoors and can keep up with my playful spirit. Someone who appreciates snuggles as much as playtime. A warm, welcoming environment where I can continue spreading joy and love. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who’s equal parts cuddly and fun, I might just be the perfect fit. Let’s meet soon—I can’t wait to wag my way into your heart! ##2282683##

Aberdeen Scottish Terrier Rescue is a registered 501(c)3 Web Site: www.aberdeenstr.com ***MUST SUBMIT APPLICATION before we will respond to email or phone inquiries. Thank You for your cooperation*** Please read listings fully to the end before applying for one of our beloved rescues. WE ARE NOT A SHELTER; WE ARE AN ALL-VOLUNTEER RESCUE WITH FULL-TIME JOBS. Please do not contact us to look at a dog. We will contact you once we have reviewed your completed application if we think your home might be a good fit. A reference check, phone interview, and home visit will be completed before meeting an adoptable dog. We work quickly. Please do not submit an application until you are ready to bring a new furry family member home. Expect your references to be contacted shortly after submitting your application. We adopt out to homes around the US and Canada, but require that you are present for the meet and greet in Newcastle, WA. Our adoption fee is non-negotiable. The adoption fee is due on the day of adoption in the form of a check, Chase Quick Pay via Zelle, PayPal, or cash. **** WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THD VERY SWEET SANTA AS HE HAS A PENDING MEET & GREET. **** The unthinkable these sweet souls go through is pure evil. The very gentle Santa once had a home in Korea but his owner was in the final stages of their life with cancer & decided to just leave Santa abandoned in the home by himself with no one at all. Thankfully the Korean rescue rescued our adorable Santa & placed him in a loving foster home in Korea. No one was still coming to give this boy a loving forever home. Unfortunately he still could not find a home in Korea & we were asked could we help this beautiful boy & it was our pleasure to. Santa was rescued by the amazing Korean rescue & just as always we are beyond grateful to the Korean rescue & we are so extremely grateful for what they do day in & day out for these babies & there is also such a great financial responsibility when rescuing these babies so we cannot begin to thank them enough. Santa was bought back to the USA where he is now a US citizen & is so happy to be here & can’t wait to find his new loving devoted forever home. This soft gentle soul has been abandoned & left for dead but you would not know it with his wonderful & oh so forgiving personality. Santa has a lovely personality, he is warm, friendly & affectionate & enjoys a good outing. Did we mention you can pick this beautiful boy up & he will let you carry him? He loves to receive love & hugs & kisses. He also enjoys a windy day with the wind in his face. When Santa arrived to us he had waft appeared to be an old black scar on his right left leg from a previous injury but we will never know what happened to him there. He is doing well walking on his harness & leash & loved going on walks in Korea & does well here on his outings. He did end up having a foster home in Korea who worked with him & helped him flourish. We do know he adores dogs, he loves them & he absolutely needs another dog or dogs in the home for her to play with, this is mandatory. We currently have Santa with other dogs. Did we mention this boy loves a good outfit, well yes he does. In Korea in his foster home he always had an outfit on. He also is good with both male & females. Having toys & a warm bed is all new to Santa until he went into his foster home in Korea & he loves toys, especially the squeaky toys so get the toy box ready for this sweet boy. Santa’s new forever home must have a fully fenced backyard. Santa is good with being bathed & is even good when being dried with a hairdryer. Santa rides beautifully in the car & loves a good journey, so great in the car. We are looking for a crate free home for this little lady only. Santa does not like crates & who could blame him after being abandoned the way he was in Korea. We are also looking for a forever home for Santa where someone is home during the day or he can go with his people wherever possibly he can go with them. Santa is looking for a forever home who will cherish him & love him as he should be loved & be patient with him. Santa has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & he is currently with other dogs & does well. Santa needs to go to a forever home with another dog or dogs in the home, he really enjoys the company of other dogs & we currently have him with other dogs. This is mandatory along with a fully fenced secure backyard. Santa is roughly 9.2 lbs & has put on weight with us. When we got him, he was a little skinny. He is 6 years old & perhaps a maltese mix, what he is mixed with we are not sure, male, he is neutered had a dental/scale & polish, he had an incisor removed, he was treated for an ear infection on the outside of his ears & different parts of his body with otomax. He is microchipped, had a skin scrapping done & it was negative for anything. His left front leg has a dark pigmented spot on his leg that was from an old wound in Korea that they do not not know what happened with his previous owner. He is up to date on her shots, including DHLPP, Bordatella, CIV, rabies, treated with credelio & dewormed. We have spent far more on Santa with bringing him to the US with hid travel costs, his medical, his dental, boarding fees etc & bringing him to WA than his adoption fee covers. Santa has not been around cats since being in the rescue, but in Korea he was in a foster home with cats & could care less. But it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together & we have not had him around small children so we do not recommend small children nor cats & it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & cats. We were not there when Santa was conceived so we do not know who his parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think his breed is. As with all of our rescues & Santa friends he will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Santa potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond. We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying. Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Santa & going through our process and have read his listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on & remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit via WebEx due to covid & followed by a meet and greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Santa who understands his needs & that meet all the requirements for this special sweet little lad. Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. We also cannot respond to every application unfortunately. Santa has an adoption fee of $850 & is ready for his truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what he has been through.
