Story
Im a super friendly senior boy looking for a family to love!I get along great with kids, other friendly dogs, and am an overall easy keeper. I will require haircuts regularly and moderate grooming but look totally adorable afterwards! I love to go for walks, help you work in the yard or just chill and watch tv. I would prefer a family that has someone home most of the time. I would make a great companion for just about any family!

 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##

Story
Quick Facts Name: Logan Age: 8 years old (born in 2017) Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Maltese Color: White Weight: 4 kg (approx. 9 lbs) All About Me Hi there! My name is Logan, and if you’re looking for a devoted companion who will always be by your side, you’ve found me! I’m a small pup with a huge heart, and my favorite thing in the world is simply being close to my humans. Whether it’s following you around the house, curling up next to you on the couch, or giving you little tail wags of encouragement—I’m always ready to shower you with love. My Personality I’m a total people-lover! I warm up quickly to new friends, and if you give me a little attention, I’ll happily roll over to show you my belly. I’m gentle, affectionate, and always eager for cuddles. I might even follow you from room to room, just to make sure you know how much I love you. When it comes to other dogs, I prefer to keep to myself. I’m polite and will say a quick hello, but I’m not the type to engage in playtime. I’d much rather spend my time soaking up love from my humans. Oh, and did I mention treats? I love treats! They are the way to my heart, and I’ll do just about anything for a yummy snack. On My Walks I’m a wonderful walking buddy! I have lots of experience on a leash and walk right by your side without pulling. Whether it’s a short stroll or a leisurely afternoon walk, I’ll be happy just being outside with you. Life at Home I’m a well-mannered little guy who knows how to settle down indoors. I’m comfortable in a kennel if needed, and I’m great with both indoor pads and outdoor potty breaks. I don’t mind relaxing on my own, but I’ll always be happiest when I’m near my favorite person. I do get excited when I want something and might let out a little bark to let you know. It’s just my way of talking to you! My Ideal Home I dream of a home filled with love and gentle companionship. Here’s what I hope for in my forever family: Someone who loves affectionate, people-oriented dogs—I’ll be your little shadow! A cozy space where I can curl up and feel safe. A home where I can be the center of attention (I don’t mind other dogs, but I don’t need them). If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who will cherish every moment by your side, I’d love to meet you. Let’s start our forever together! ##2300885##

Quick Facts Name: Henry Birthday: 8 years (Born Jan 1, 2017) Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Maltese Color: White Weight: 2.4kg All About Me Hello, future family! I’m Henry, a sweet and gentle soul with a lot of love to give. At 8 years old, I’m a little guy who may seem shy at first, but once I trust you, I’m all about cuddles and affection. I’m a Maltese, and I’ve got the softest white fur that you’ll love to pet. My Personality I might be small, but I’ve got a big heart! I may seem a little shy when we first meet, but a tasty treat is all it takes for me to warm up to you. Once I feel comfortable, I’m ready to be your best friend. I enjoy my personal space at first, but it doesn’t take me long to open up to new faces, especially if you’re kind and patient with me. I’m not the most outgoing with other dogs—I prefer to keep my distance. But don’t worry, I’m gentle and peaceful, and if things get a bit too rowdy, I’m quick to step away and find a quieter spot. I’m much more focused on my people and love spending time with them. On My Walks When it comes to walks, I’m not in a rush—I enjoy leisurely strolls where we can take our time and enjoy the scenery together. I may pull a little on the leash at first, but I do my best to follow along with you. Life at Home I’m a calm and affectionate little guy who loves the quiet moments with my family. I’m not too active, and I tend to keep to myself at first, but once I feel safe, I’ll snuggle up next to you for some quality time. I don’t guard my food and I rarely bark. I am potty trained indoor and outdoor also I feel comfortable in a kennel. My Ideal Home I’m looking for a home where I can feel safe and loved. A family that’s patient and willing to give me the time I need to feel comfortable would be perfect. Here’s what I dream of: - A Calm, Loving Environment – A peaceful home where I can relax and be myself.- Gentle Companionship – I’d love to live with people who are kind and gentle, and I’d prefer a home without other rowdy dogs or to be only fur baby.- Plenty of Love & Attention – I may be small, but my heart is huge, and I can’t wait to share it with the right family! Last Message If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion who will slowly but surely become your best friend, I might just be the perfect fit for you. Let’s take things slow and enjoy each other’s company—I can’t wait to meet you! ##2301029##

Story
Handsome Bello arrivedin the PNW just recently, and we would love for him to be welcomed into his forever home, or a loving foster home.

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. Bello 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
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.

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.

(An adoption fee of $400 is required.) If you are interested in this dog, please go to the Adopt page of our website where you will find a link to an adoption application form. https://www.chewdogrescue.org/adopt Meet Fiyero, A Fun and Happy Pup Ready for His Forever Home! Fiyero is a lovable, well-rounded dog with a heart full of joy and an infectious personality. When he first arrived, he was a little rough around the edges, with a dirty, matted coat that needed to be shaved down. But don’t worry – his fur will grow back soft and beautiful, and he’ll be looking as handsome as ever in no time! What really sets Fiyero apart is his adorable underbite – it gives him so much character and charm! His little grin is sure to steal your heart, and you’ll quickly fall for his cheerful, easygoing nature. Fiyero is good in the car, making him a great companion for road trips or vet visits, and he’s currently learning how to walk nicely on a leash. Fiyero is best suited for a family with children 10 years and older, and he’d love a fenced yard to run and play in. He’s social and enjoys the company of other dogs, so if you have a young, playful pup at home, he’ll fit right in! We’re hoping Fiyero finds a family who can keep up with his energetic, happy spirit. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, sweet dog to add to your life, Fiyero just might be your perfect match. If you have previously submitted an application form to CHEW, there is no need to reapply. Just let us know you're interested in this dog. We do our best to match families and dogs so everyone is pleased and the placement is permanent. We reserve the right to refuse an applicant if the home situation is incompatible with the needs of the rescue dog. Rescue is about doing our best for the dog. We do home and reference checks. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and are up to date with current vaccinations before being placed in their forever homes.

Story
Popcorn is about 18 lbs., 14 years old and according to Google lens, a West highland terrier. Animal Care Services thought he was a Maltese mix and foster mom thinks he could be a Schnauzer/Maltese mix but knows for sure that he is the cutest scruffy EVER!!! His journey hasn't been all snuggles and treats as he lived on someone's apartment patio for years, lying in poop, grass and other debris until Animal Care Services came for him and God's Dogs Rescue was able to save the little scamp. While he still loves his humans, other gentle pups his size (cats unknown) and his squishy toys and chewy, understandably he has a few emotional scars especially regarding vet visits and grooming. Slow, patient progress in these areas has helped him be more confident, but will need a patient adopter to help him adapt. Things that make Popcorn super happy are spending time with his humans after he gets to know them, car rides and walks in the park. He loves, loves his squishy toys and generally carries one around with him. His most favorite game is for his person to chase him and pretend to take his squishy away. He also like to run zooms and if there isn't a person to play with he will often throw his toys for himself. Doesn't that just make you want to throw his stuffies so he can play?? He's a healthy guy for his age with just a few old man issues (beginnings of cataracts) that he takes supplements for and should continue taking. His liver enzymes were high when tested but he is on a med to help them normalize. Can you give this boy the right lap to live in?? He needs very patient/knowledgeable adopters, no children- adult only because he will bite if afraid... It is a work in progress but he is becoming the goofy boy he was meant to be while living on the nasty hot and freezing porch for most of his 14 yrs :( GIVE HIM A CHANCE!!! Local adoption only $200 (in TX)

Story
Albie is a chill 11-12 year old senior looking for his new home. He spends most of his day napping and when the sun is out, looks for spots to sunbathe. He came to us from a shelter when he was estimated to be 1 year old with most of his habits already developed. He is food motivated and protects his food. He does not play with toys and not interested in a toy unless food is involved. He is not very active and loves to be petted every now and then. Unfortunately, with our life changes we are unable to give him the attention he needs and deserves. He is fine at the vet but hates the groomers so you will need to be able to groom him yourself or find a groomer that will work with anxious dogs. He is potty trained, but because he is getting older, he does have occasional accidents, especially when he is excited. He knows basic commands such as sit, down, and paw. He prefers to lounge indoors and does not pay much attention to other pets or kids unless they take his food.

Story
The name Tristan was chosen for this sweet boy as it evokes bravery, honor and adventure, and Tristan has been brave beyond measure. Tristan was found as a stray in Los Angeles, suffering from multiple (many!) days old puncture wounds on his neckdue to being attacked by a very large dog. He had surgery to clean, stitch, place drains in the punctures, and has been trying to recover in an LA shelter. We brought this little guy along on our "Clear the LA Shelters" Transport, we couldn't leave him behind, and despite everything he has gone thru he is such a love. Tristan has a ways to go on his healing journey, but it is all up from here! He has the best care at his loving and experienced foster and has already seen our vet here to continue treatment. Now in the loving care of an experienced foster family, Tristan is thriving. His beautiful coat is already beginning to grow back, a symbol of his healing journey, and he’s blossoming under the attentive care of everyone here. Whether on a leisurely walk or curling up for a cuddle, Tristan’s gentle nature shines through. This little warrior, having overcome so much, is ready for a new chapter filled with warmth, affection, and companionship. We believe Tristan may be a Bichon Frise, or Poodle, or mix; but regardless, he is beautiful and so deserving of his best life. He is doing well in his fosters home with an energetic puppy and cats with no issues. Tristan is neutered and will receive another round of vaccines as a part of his adoption donation. We know he is on his way to his best life as someone's new best buddy!

Story
Meet Bear! A charming 2-year-old neutered male Bichon Frise with a soft, fluffy white coat. Weighing in at 4kg, this little guy is as sweet as he is adorable. At first, Bear might be a bit reserved when meeting new people, but offer him a treat, and he’ll quickly warm up to you! He’s comfortable around both men and women and enjoys gentle affection. He can be picked up safely by placing your arms under his belly. When it comes to other dogs, Bear is a social butterfly! He loves making new friends—big or small—and happily greets both familiar and unfamiliar pups. He’s easygoing and doesn’t have a mean bone in his body, even if another dog tries to provoke him. While he enjoys following other dogs around, he may feel a little overwhelmed by those with high energy levels. Although he hasn’t lived with cats before, we believe he could coexist with them, and we’d be happy to test his compatibility. Bear has a moderate energy level—he enjoys outdoor adventures but is just as happy to relax afterward. However, since he spent his early life in a breeding facility, he has never been on a walk before. He’s still adjusting to wearing a leash and getting used to the sights and sounds of the outside world, so he’ll need some gentle guidance and patience as he learns. This little guy is a dream when it comes to manners! He’s not possessive over food, rarely barks, and doesn’t seem to struggle with separation anxiety. He’s also comfortable in a crate and can use both pee pads indoors and go potty outside. Rescued from a breeding facility in Geoje, Bear is now ready for a loving home where he can continue to grow and experience all the joys of being a cherished companion! Send in your application today through our website https://adoptmekoreanrescue.org/adoption-application/ He can arrive at Vancouver or Toronto airport and may be able to arrive at some US airports (Seattle, LA, NY, Boston etc) where we have flight volunteers.
