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
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.

Story
Meet Bbang He must travel in-cabin, so we are currently only accepting applications from adopters who can pick up in Toronto or Calgary. • Name: Bbang • Age: 5 years • Sex: Neutered Male • Breed: Maltese • Color: White • Weight: 2.4 kg • Height (shoulder): 23 cm   Rescue Story Bbang was left behind when his previous owner moved overseas. He was abandoned at a golf course where he had been a regular visitor. During his time there, he was unfortunately mistreated by some male guests and forced to stay in a storage area. A kind caretaker who looked after him reached out to us, hoping to find him a safe and loving forever home.   Personality & Socialization (People) Bbang is a very affectionate and friendly little dog who loves people. He approaches both familiar faces and strangers with ease, often leaning in for pets and attention.   In new environments, he may show a brief moment of shyness, but he quickly warms up—especially with treats—and does not show any guarding or defensive behavior. He is comfortable with men and has also done well around children he met at the park.   He can be picked up easily and, once bonded, will happily roll over to show his belly for rubs.   Socialization (Dogs) Bbang is polite and social with other dogs. He enjoys greeting both familiar and unfamiliar dogs but is not overly playful.   He tends to avoid larger dogs at first and may be a bit intimidated by them. However, he is friendly with dogs of similar or smaller size and prefers calmer companions. High-energy dogs can feel overwhelming for him.   Even when provoked, he chooses to avoid conflict rather than react.   With Cats Bbang is currently living with a cat and has been doing very well. They even share the bed and sleep together.   Energy Level He has a moderate energy level. He enjoys outdoor activities and walks, but settles down nicely and rests calmly afterward.   ‍ Walks Bbang has good leash manners and does not pull. He prefers walking over excessive sniffing and follows his handler well.   He is attentive outdoors and has shown good behavior, such as waiting calmly when cars pass.   Additional Notes • May show food guarding toward humans (growling if touched while eating), but does not guard from other dogs • No excessive barking • Mild initial whining in a kennel, but settles within a few minutes • Enjoys car rides • Currently practicing for in-cabin flight travel using a carrier • Fully trained for both pee pads and outdoor potty • May mark in new environments   Ideal Home Bbang would thrive in a loving home that understands small dog sensitivities and can provide a calm, stable environment. He would do especially well with gentle handling during mealtimes and with companions who respect his space when needed.   If you’re looking for a small, affectionate companion who will happily stay by your side, Bbang could be the perfect match Apply to adopt or foster: https://adoptmekr.org Please also visit our Facebook or Instagram! ##2707777##
