Jim the cutest little talking bundle of fluff & love was rescued by a rescuer from a slaughterhouse along with countless other dogs. Unfortunately this rescuer got in over their heads & abandoned all the dogs including Jim in a warehouse type of situation with no water, no food, no bedding no nothing. Jim along with all the other dogs had to fend for themselves. Our amazing rescuer has been going in & feeding who is left while they continue to rescue as many as they possibly can but of course they are full too. When they seen Jim in there he was talking to them begging for help to take him. Now Jim is looking for a special family to cherish him & be patient with him & remember what this beautiful soul has been through & a family that meets all his needs. Jim was rescued by our truly amazing Chinese rescue friends & just as always we are beyond grateful to the Chinese rescue who we are so extremely thankful for what they do day in & day out for these babies, we cannot thank them enough. Jim is a gentle soul & his beautiful personality has flourish. He is a very gentle patient little soul. He just wants you to love him & he will love you back. When he looks at you, he has a crooked smile. His foster mum said he looks like a little ewok & loves his uniqueness. His foster mum taught him a way to come with moving her hands together & he now runs up to her for her to pick him up & cuddle him. He loves it when she cuddles him & snuggles into him & kisses him. When he finds people who love him they become his world. He is a very soft gentle soul & timid until he knows you. He is smart though & can run up & down hardwood stairs. He will also want to cuddle in bed with you. After his foster mum picking him up & putting him on the bed he now runs & jumps on the bed & knows when it is time to go to bed. He is a very bouncy playful boy. He loves to run & play with his foster siblings & must go to a home with a young dog who will play with him when he is ready. He will run & run & chase his foster siblings in big spaces. He loves a good outfit & will get ready for you to put one on him. Jim eats a clean diet, meaning raw fruits, raw vegetables, 70 % raw proteins, grains, fats & supplements. He also enjoys collagen sticks & bully sticks. All of his treats are homemade. He also ate a clean diet as soon as he went into his foster home in China. Jim has been taught to walk on harness & leash & has been doing wonderful. Jim is a rescue & will need patience, time & understanding. Jim adores being pampered & doesn’t want you to stop when brushing him, cleaning his eyes, grooming him, baths, the hairdryer he loves it all. He also does extremely well being touched in general & adores receiving love. Having toys & a warm bed was all new to Jim until he was moved to a very devoted foster home in China. He now enjoys his toys in his foster home. Jim has learnt to ride in the car & does well in the car & enjoys a good car ride. He is such an amazing, loving little lad. With Jim we are only looking for a crate free home for this lovely little lad only. Please do not apply with the intent to crate this boy. He does not like crates especially after everything he has been through. We are also looking for a forever home for Jim where someone is home during the day or Jim can go with his people wherever possibly he can go with them. Jim is looking for a forever home who will cherish him & love him as he should be loved & be very patient with him & understanding. Jim has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & he is currently with other dogs & enjoys their company in his loving foster home. He had been around several hundred dogs. He can be found at times snuggled up to his foster siblings. A fully fenced backyard is mandatory for Jim new forever home if it’s a free standing home. Jim is now roughly 12lbs & 1 year & 9 months old & possibly a maltese shi tzu mix & what he is mixed with we are not sure? He is microchipped, had a dental in China. He is up to date on his shots including DHLPP, rabies & dewormed. Once these shots expire we will not redo them except rabies as we will not over vaccinate our beloved dogs. We have spent over $2000 on Jim with bringing him to the US with his travel airfare paying for his medical care, including, shots, neuter microchip etc, than his adoption fee comes close to covering. Jim has not been around cats since being in the rescue but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals. We have not had Jim with small children so we do not recommend children, but it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & animals. We were not there when Jim 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 & Jim’s 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 Jim 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 Jim & 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 using Zoom followed by a meet and greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Jim who understands his needs & that meet all the requirements for this lovely sweet boy. 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. Jim has an adoption fee of $895 & is ready for his truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what he has been through.

✅️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.

Rita is an adorable, friendly, spunky little 7lb bundle of joy! She gets along with anyone and everyone. She loves to give kisses and be as close to her humans as possible at all times! She is pretty high energy and would do best with a young, active owner commited to getting this girl exercise and socialization. She would not do well at home alone all day while her owner is at work, for example. Rita is located in Houston TX and will not be transported until she is adopted. The adopter is responsible for paying for her transport in addition to the adoption fee. The adoption fee is $850. The first step is to fill out an application at www.recycleddogsrescue.org No inquiries will be responded to - only completed applications.

Sailor is such a sweet little girl and perfect in every way. She is still quite scared and still shivers sometimes, but she is also brave and curious. In the beginning she finally drank some water and started to eat a few bites of soft food. She's was still trying to process this huge change in her life and was kind of frozen. She would stay still in one spot until she was moved. She didn't get up to pee, drink water or do anything. Day, she is eating more food and she is exposing her new environment. She even barked for the first time! She has been going potty outside and even to explore outside, sniffing everything. She had a play date with two Maltese dogs. She did get up to check them out and was friendly. Every day she takes small steps eating more food, drinking water, relieving herself and exploring. He curiosity is showing more every day. She is putting lots of energy into trying new things and becoming less shy. -----

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.
