Story
Meet Auggie Auggie is seeking a local, adult only home with a fenced yard and a similarly sized playmate! Auggie is an adorable 6.5 yr old, 15 lb Pug/Chihuahua mix who was picked up a stray and never reclaimed. He was highly stressed in the shelter and we didn’t hesitate to pull him when his time was up. Auggie is a sweet silly boy, a definite lap dog and does expect full furniture privileges. He loves toys! He enjoys going for walks and rides in the car. Auggie loves to play with other similar sized energetic dogs but is intimidated by bigger dogs. He is looking for a home with another small dog and will not be placed in a home with big dogs! . Older dogs may not appreciate his enthusiasm. He does okay with a dog savvy cat but for cats not used to dogs he would not be a good fit. Auggie is a resource guarder and because of this he will not be placed in a home with children. He has super sensitive hearing and will protect you from the UPS truck so apartment living is not in his future! Auggie is crate trained and housetrained. He is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, HW tested negative and on prevention. He does need to lose a couple pounds. Auggie has been in foster care for quite some time now and we really dont know why - we know the perfect home is out there somewhere! LOCAL INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE

Story
Freya is the daughter of Gypsy & is bonded with her. This sweet bonded pair loves nothing more than hanging out together. Most days, you’ll find them lounging on their dog beds in the office, hoarding toys, sunbathing, or exploring the yard. They are just the sweetest girls. They will occasionally bark at me when they get excited for their dinner or when I first come home. It is excitement. Freya is Gypsy’s biological daughter. They’re also on Simparica Trio, which works best for them since Gypsy has a flea allergy. Gypsy does have a cherry eye—our vet says it isn’t painful and doesn’t require surgery unless it worsens. They’re housebroken as long as they’re let out on a regular schedule. At night, they sleep peacefully on their beds. While they’re reliable, they may occasionally use a puppy pad if one is available in the home.

Story
• Rescue Story: Meet Moana👋🏻 She was found wandering the streets of Paju, South Korea in 2022. She ended up at a high-kill shelter but was thankfully rescued just in time. For 4 years, she lived in a private shelter with many other dogs, and was recently moved into her foster home in July 2026. Thanks to her awesome personality, she's beautifully settled in and learned how to live with humans! Moana is now ready to find a forever family of her own! • Personality: Affectionate, Friendly, Goofy Moana is truly one of a kind. She quickly won the hearts of volunteers with her gentle, loving nature. She follows people around like a little shadow, happily greeting everyone—even strangers—with tail wags and affection. Moana thrives on human interaction and loves tug-of-war, belly rubs, and being the center of attention. Her energy level is moderate, making her a great balance of playful and calm. • Affinity with - Dogs: Moana is incredibly social—not just with people, but with dogs, too. She’s often the first to welcome new arrivals at the shelter, helping them feel safe and at ease. While she would thrive as the only dog in the home, Moana also does best with calm dog companions. - Cats: Not tested with cats - Adults/Kids: Great with adults / She hasn’t been tested with cats or kids, but based on her gentle demeanor, we believe she’d do well with respectful children. • Walking Manners: Moana has also started practicing her leash skills and is doing great! She may pull a little at times, but overall, she walks well and is eager to please. • Housetrained: Since she moved to her foster home, Moana's started going potty outdoors with no accidents! Fully housebroken! • Bathing/Brushing: She’s tolerant of baths and grooming. • Car Sickness: She’s curious and alert during car rides, taking in the world around her. • Separation Anxiety: Zero. • Barks/Howls: Very quiet • Appetite/Food Allergies: Eats well. No food allergies found so far. • Shedding level (1~10): 5 • Likes/Dislikes: She loves affection and treats! • Health: Moana finished her heartworm treatment in Oct 2024 and is in great health. 💙 Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation, Customs and export documentation, Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee. Your support directly helps us continue rescuing and caring for dogs in need, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.

Story
Basie is a sweet, silly, and energetic 2 year old girl looking for a loving new home! We originally adopted her after my sister's husband found her as a stray in early 2025 and no one claimed her. Her initial name was "Goob" because her eyes look like they pop out of her head, but when we realized she was a girl my then-3-year-old named her "Basie" (like Daisy with a B). Basie loves giving kisses, cuddling, jumping, and being around people. She has lots of energy and would thrive with someone who can give her plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I can't stress how sweet and loving she is!We’re sadly looking to rehome her because my partner has significant allergies, our schedules have become more and more busy, and we are moving soon. We know finding her the right home is the best thing for everyone.Note that Basie is not spayed. Her breed is only a guess, as we don’t know her exact mix. We love her and hope we can find. the right fit for her!

Story
Benji is a very sweet, chill, and laid-back dog. He loves to sleep. He gets along with other dogs, but he doesn’t like being bothered or played with too much. Because of this, I wouldn’t recommend him living with a very energetic dog. He is very lazy and food motivated. Benji currently has an ulcer on his eye that requires daily medication, so his new family will need to be comfortable keeping up with his eye care.I recently took Benji in from a family member that can’t care for him. I wanted to give him a safe place to stay. Unfortunately I have a very large and energetic dog of my own. Benji has been snapping at him when he feels bothered, and it’s becoming clear that having them live together isn’t going to be a good fit. I’m able to keep Benji for about one week while I look for the right home for him.
