Story
Meet Kermit Kermit is a sweet little older man. He is good with cats and other dogs. He is a bit deaf and semi blind but very sweet, adorable and cuddly. He has a good appetite! He doesn't need to go for walks and can just be carried out into the yard or hang out on leash for a slow stroll to sniff around. Since he's older, he is wearing pants/belly band in the house. :) He and his two other siblings were being evicted from their home and they were going to be turned in to shelter. Thankfully a Good Samaritan stepped in and intercepted this! Kermit would like to be adopted with Tilly and Harley, attaching links for them here... Harley https://www.petfinder.com/dog/harley-64098994/ca/west-hollywood/ape-action-animals-people-environment-action-ca1249/ Tilly https://www.petfinder.com/dog/tilly-64099230/ca/west-hollywood/ape-action-animals-people-environment-action-ca1249/ Since they need to find homes immediately they can be separated. Kermit is very easy going and it's particular if he's w/another dog or not, so he would be fine separated from the other two and being the only dog to get all the attention, or can be in a home w/other calm dogs since he's a senior and has limited sight/hearing. This is a courtesy post, please call or text Jennifer Ruiz 310-228-8221 if interested. They are located in Van Nuys/CA

Story
Hi! My name is Darla, and I am IN SOUTH KOREA waiting to be matched to a home in Los Angeles! I was rescued from the dog meat trade in South Korea by the DoVE Project. My fate would have been to live in fear and distress, watching dogs being led to slaughter for human consumption. DoVE Project heard about me, and now I am looking for my forever family! ABOUT JINDOS Jindos are known for their fierce loyalty, high intelligence, rarely barking, and playful nature. They make great indoor family dogs, as Jindos are clean and easily housetrained, and are faithful to family members. They are also mid-level active and love being socialized at dog parks, going on hikes, and joining the family on trips. ID/NAME: CARE23-041 / Darla SEX/WEIGHT/AGE: Female / 16 lbs / 2 yrs BIRTH DATE: July 1, 2021 BREED: Miniature Schnauzer/Jindo Mix VACCINATIONS/SPAY/NEUTER/HEALTH: Vaccinations complete. Spayed. Healthy. BEHAVIOR: Darla is a well-behaved and calm dog. Despite her terrifying past, Darla still shows a lot of trust and love towards people. On her walks, she prefers to stay next to her caretakers. Darla gets along well with other dogs too. She is currently sharing a kennel with one other dog and there have been no issues. Darla has not been in a foster home yet, but she always keeps her kennel clean. SIBLINGS/FAMILY: Unknown BACKGROUND: Rescued from a slaughterhouse in Yangpyeong, Korea by Claudia, Tami, Miwon, and Lucy during a joint rescue mission with Care. ABOUT SHELTER STRESS Dogs who have lived in shelters for a long period of time develop behaviors due to an environment that is loud, chaotic, and stressful, even in best shelters in the US. Dogs in shelters have limited socialization exposure to people and urban environments. DoVE dogs also come from a traumatic background such as dog meat farms and slaughterhouses. While many of our dogs acclimate within a few months with consistency, structure, and patience, some of our more sensitive dogs can take longer to rehabilitate. It's important to note that these sensitive dogs are even more attuned to human emotions and behavior, making for a deeper connection human-dog connection. DoVE Project is committed to helping our adopters desensitize and socialize our dog meat trade survivors. ********************************* DoVE Project operates a shelter in South Korea, where our dogs stay until they are matched with an adopter. In the US, our dogs stay in foster homes or in boarding, as we do not have a physical facility. These dogs are identified with "in LA" in their names. Please note that we only adopt our pups in the Southern California area.

Story
Tessa is a 1 year old Schnauzer Terrier mix that weighs about 11 lbs, she should weigh about 13-14 lbs. The original rescue group in Tijuana was going to euthanize her because the spay surgery got infected and all her stitches rotted. The rescue group we work with got her out and took her their vet, they didn’t think she would recover but she made it and is an extremely sweet girl! She is very active, playful, loves people and other dogs. She would be happy in a home that is active and with an individual or family that could give her lots of attention. Tessa is up-to-date on vaccines, spayed and will be microchipped soon. If you are interested in her, please complete the application on our website: www.adoptmerescue.org. LOCAL AREA ADOPTION ONLY

Story
Bonded Pair Of Sisters That Must Be Adopted Together This is Abbi (the bigger pup) and Gabbi (smaller pup), two absolutely adorable, female sisters who are about 1 year old each and about 15 and 18lbs. Abbi and Gabbi are Schnauzer/Scottish Terrier mixes that are stunning in person! We got these two girls after they were abandoned at a park left to fend on their own. Thankfully a kind person got them to safety, scanned for a microchip (they did not have one), and then placed them on a stray hold where owners never came to claim them. Abbi and Gabbi are still young puppies that will need a puppy savvy home where the owners are not gone long hours during the day. These two girls are very bonded and we will only adopt them out together. A home with a safe and secure yard would be ideal for them to run around and play in. Abbi and Gabbi are new to our rescue, so we are still learning about them, but they seem to be happy, playful, and loving dogs that are yearning for a forever home to call their own. Abby and Gabby are spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. We only adopt in the Greater Los Angeles Areas as an in person meet/greet, home check, and trial period are required. Please contact us at: Gina@theforgottendog.org or 310-990-2020
