Story
**Currently Location: in a foster home. 🩷 Rescue Story Yeonji was first noticed near my home on two separate occasions after escaping from her leash. Each time, she appeared timid but showed strong affection toward people—wagging her tail, staying close, and following me quietly. Knowing where she lived, I walked her back to her home and politely asked the owner if he had lost his dog. The owner was a man in his nineties, living alone in a severely dilapidated wooden house, and he had noticeable difficulty communicating. Although Yeonji had willingly followed me until then, she immediately ran away the moment she saw him. Assuming she had simply wanted to stay outside longer, I gently took her leash and handed her back. The owner then tied her to an extremely short chain. Feeling uneasy, I stayed nearby instead of returning home. Shortly after, I heard Yeonji screaming. I rushed back and witnessed the owner striking her repeatedly with an iron rod while she lay on the ground crying in pain. As it was late at night, I intervened verbally and stayed outside the property for some time to ensure the abuse stopped. The following day, I returned in daylight and, with the owner’s permission, removed Yeonji from the property and secured her safety. She has been living in foster care ever since. 🌿 Temperament & Behavior Yeonji has limited experience with cats, but in brief encounters she showed no aggression and little interest. She is highly social with other dogs. During first meetings, she engages calmly through sniffing and exploration without any aggressive behavior. She is well suited for a multi-dog household. With people, Yeonji is initially shy and does not approach strangers right away. However, within about one to two hours, she relaxes significantly and begins to show affection. She is particularly fearful of adult men and may bark once or twice from a distance. This behavior is fear-based and not aggressive. 🚶 Walking & Daily Life When first rescued, Yeonji was very timid on walks and stayed close behind her handler. As she settled in, her young and energetic nature began to emerge, and she now shows some leash pulling. She is currently in leash training and continues to improve. Her shedding level is moderate, around 6 out of 10. She has no known food allergies and eats well without being picky. 🏡 Habits & Training Yeonji defecates exclusively outdoors. She may urinate indoors, but when a designated potty pad is provided, she uses it appropriately. Occasionally, she may mistake white rugs or similar items for a potty pad. She may whine briefly when someone leaves the house, but this does not last long and she shows no other signs of separation anxiety. She barks only occasionally when startled or frightened, such as hearing unfamiliar noises or someone suddenly entering her space. These barks are brief and non-aggressive. 💛 Likes & Personality Yeonji is extremely affectionate with people, especially with her caregiver. She enjoys playing with other dogs and likes toys she can hold and manipulate with her front paws. She does not have strong dislikes, though unfamiliar objects or situations can make her cautious at first. ** Adoption Fee Information: The adoption fee covers international transportation and medical expenses, including spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, a health certificate, deworming, and other necessary veterinary care. In addition to the adoption fee, adopters are responsible for separate entry costs, which must be paid directly to the local customs broker who assists with the dog's customs clearance upon arrival at the U.S. airport. Details regarding the payment process will be provided later.

Story
Meet Gracie Belle, a 4-year-old, 60-pound mixed breed with a heart full of love for absolutely everyone! Gracie never meets a stranger and is happy to greet anyone who walks through the door. She's a true cuddler who loves nothing more than snuggling up with her people, and when she's not cuddling, you'll find her happily chewing on her favorite bones. Gracie is house-trained, doesn't need a crate, knows sit, paw and down, and walks well on a leash with just a little pulling. She gets her exercise from leashed walks, so a fenced yard isn't a must. She does well with other dogs and older kids, though she hasn't spent much time around young children. Gracie would thrive in a home where she gets lots of attention, ideally with another dog. She's spayed and up to date on her vaccines. Gracie has shared her life with her brother, George, for four years, and we'd love to see them adopted together if possible. However, we are open to separate adoptions.

Story
Meet Gigi! 🐾❤️ Gigi is an incredibly sweet, loving, and cuddly girl who absolutely adores affection and spending time with her people. She has been a cherished part of our family, and finding her a new home is one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever had to make. Unfortunately, Gigi struggles around young children and has displayed serious aggressive behavior toward our toddler. With a one-year-old daughter and another baby on the way, we’ve realized that our home is no longer the safest or most suitable environment for her. We are looking for a loving, child-free home with an experienced owner who understands her behavioral needs and can provide patience, structure, and affection. Gigi has so much love to give, and our greatest wish is to find her a home where she can feel safe, loved, and truly thrive. We want nothing more than for her to have the happiest life possible. ❤️

Story
Yuzu was rescued from the streets of Kathmandu, Nepal and brought to California, where she spent 6 happy years with our family. We recently moved to NYC, and city life has been too overstimulating for her. We believe she would thrive in a quieter home with nature and patient people. Yuzu is 6 years old, 27 lbs, and incredibly sweet, affectionate, smart, gentle, and emotionally intuitive. She loves people and children, hiking, beaches, sunbathing, squirrels, lizards, and beach zoomies. She is medium-energy and very calm at home. She is house trained, crate trained, has no separation anxiety, excellent house manners, and is great in the car. She knows basic commands and responds to positive reinforcement. She has lived successfully with cats and enjoys gentle dogs she knows. She can be nervous around unfamiliar larger dogs, especially on leash. A quieter home with a yard and access to nature would be a wonderful fit. Please message about yourself and the life you could offer Yuzu. ❤️

Story
Meet Snappy (Islander)! Your Future Best Friend! Hi! My name is Snappy, also known as Islander! I'm a fun-loving, silly, affectionate boy who is ready to find my next foster home while I wait for my forever family. I'm a big cuddle bug who loves being around my people. I enjoy cuddling in bed, getting lots of attention, going on adventures, visiting dog parks, and spending time with my furry friends. I'm a social boy who has lived with multiple dogs and would love a home where I have another friendly dog to play with and keep me company. A little about me:I'm potty-trained and crate-trained.I can stay in my crate while my foster is at work and have been comfortable being home for a full workday.When my foster is home, I enjoy having more freedom around the house.I know commands like sit, stay, and lie down, and I understand cues for going outside and eating.I LOVE food and treats!I enjoy kids, other dogs, water, outdoor adventures, and dog parks.I can pull a little on the leash and may bark at dogs I don't know or particularly like, so I'll benefit from continued leash training and positive guidance. My ideal foster home:I would love a loving, patient home that can give me attention, exercise, structure, and opportunities to socialize safely. A home with another friendly, compatible dog would be wonderful because I enjoy having canine companions. Slow introductions and proper supervision are important, just like with any dog.I'm still learning and growing, so I need someone willing to keep working with me and help me become the best boy I can be. Why I need a foster:Through no fault of my own, I need a new foster home while my current foster works on finding stable housing. I've been loved, cared for, and given a place to grow, and now I need someone willing to open their heart and home to me temporarily.Fostering me means giving me a safe place to land while I wait for my forever family. You could make a huge difference in my life!Could you be my next foster? If you have room in your home and heart for a sweet, goofy, cuddly boy like me, please consider fostering Snappy (Islander). I have so much love to give, and I'm just looking for someone to give me a chance.  My foster dog is good with: Dogs for sure! Curious about cats. Also great with kids3 Keywords for your pup: Goofy, loving, eagerEnergy Level (1= calm, 10= high energy): 5Barker? Or Quiet Pup?: Mostly quiet!
