Story
✅️Currently located in South Korea✅️ Meet Noah🤍 💙 Noah’s Account: @aki.noa.sushi 1. Health • Neutering/Spaying: Completed • Other: Microchipped; had bladder stone surgery and molar extraction. Fully blind in one eye due to cataracts. Experiences coughing when temperatures drop, requiring steroid medication if coughing occurs. Has partial hearing loss. All teeth except molars have been extracted, so he cannot eat hard treats. 2. Rescue Story • Noah was rescued from a breeding facility alongside Aji and Aki before Adogs officially formed. He was adopted, but after his adopter passed away suddenly in September 2024, Noah returned to Adogs. He is looking for a family to help him overcome his grief and begin a new chapter of life. 3. Personality & Habits • With People: Very affectionate and sweet, loves both strangers and familiar people, and often approaches first asking for pets. • With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs, both familiar and new friends. May show cute jealousy if another dog gets attention. • Separation Anxiety: Calm when left with Aki, though Aki has separation anxiety that affects Noah. If left with another dog or person, he waits quietly. • House Training: Fully pee pad trained (100% accuracy), though he prefers pooping outdoors. He tends to pee near the edge of the pad, so surrounding it with a fence or holder is helpful. • Hygiene/Grooming: Very calm and well-behaved during baths, drying, and brushing. • Walking on Leash: Walks well on a leash without pulling and keeps pace nicely. 4. Special Notes • May bark briefly when a stranger enters the room for the first time. In the evenings, he may bark for 5 minutes normally, or 20–30 minutes if he has extra energy. • Has a strong food drive and eats quickly when excited for meals, so feeding slowly and calmly is recommended.

Story
Sailor is such a sweet little girl and perfect in every way. Her curiosity is showing more every day. She is putting lots of energy into trying new things and becoming less shy. She does best with other calm dogs and will need her forever family to have a dog so she has a buddy! -----

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.

Story
Aquanet is a 8 year old Maltese with a heart of gold! She is sweet, curious, quiet, and very gentle. She loves attention, and is making progress with potty training. She is also learning to walk on a leash and doing well. She’s a lovely little companion with a soft personality. Her favorite snack is pig ears! She sleeps in her dog bed on the floor next to her people bed. She sleeps well overall and, if she wakes and stirs occasionally, she settles back down easily with gentle reassurance. She is working on potty training outside and is making great progress! She is good with other dogs and with children, and she rides well in a car. -----

Story
Meet Gidget! Hello! I’m Gidget, a 2-year-old cutie pie.  I started my life in a hoarding situation where I lived outside with lots of other pups. But I’ve now discovered the great indoors and creature comforts are my jam! I quickly mastered a number of basic commands for inside the house and last week I taught myself to retrieve toys. So smart! And I’m definitely potty trained. I LOVE walks and prance with pride in my neighborhood. My ears bounce with joy with each step! I’m just so happy to get outside for whatever kind of walk you’re up for. I’m not comfortable going to all the fun places you go yet, but I’m ok just hanging back at home alone or in a crate (where I sleep right now). I absolutely love my humans and become very attached. I love kisses, hugs, belly rubs…you get it. I can be a real cuddle monster and will even follow you around the house. I would love to sleep on your bed if that’s ok with you!  So now that you know lots of good stuff about me, here’s some stuff I’m working on. I need your love and patience as I work through some fears . I’m a little nervous with dogs and people on walks and sometimes I bark or growl, but I respond well to verbal corrections. When I get overwhelmed in the house with new people I forget my manners and can get nippy. If you help me stay calm and let me get to know people at my own pace, I’ll learn to be more confident. Children would not be a good fit for me. At least for a little while, I’ll do best hanging out in my crate or pen when people visit. I am currently living with 2 small dogs, but cats are an unknown. I’m a diamond in the rough and with training and patience, I will be your best friend.  Gidget is vaccinated, spayed and chipped. Her adoption fee is $450 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life! To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!
