Story
I’m a sweet, playful, and loyal companion who forms strong bonds with my people. I’m very affectionate and will instinctively protect you if I sense danger. Once I understand that your home is my home, I settle in beautifully and can stay alone for long periods without barking. I adore human companionship and prefer people over other dogs, though I can have fun with dogs my own size. I enjoy hiking, running, paddle boarding, and going on boat rides but I’m not a fan of swimming and prefer to stay dry. I would thrive with a retired couple or someone with a calm lifestyle who can offer me love, stability, and multiple walks. I’m also a fantastic little watchdog, always alert and keeping a gentle eye on the home. If you are interested in meeting River, please download the Adoption Questionnaire, fill it out and email it back to us at info@farescue.org or fax (310) 362-0321. You can also meet this and/or other available dogs at our weekend adoptions. [River is 9 years old and weighs 10 lbs.] (2505)

Story
MILLIE is a lovely adult/senior, 8 pounds, girl Rat Terrier whose senior human dad passed away, leaving Millie and her four little companions, Cookie, Shorty, Poopsy, and Missy, without their dad. They all get along really well, are house trained, and also know to use pads to do their business indoors, and at night, and when it's raining or very cold out. They are not barkers, only barking to warn that someone is at or near the front door, and then they settle down again. They are great with cats because their housemates have been six (6) cats! If shown a lot of affection and understanding when welcomed into their new homes, we are sure these lovely kiddos will do well in a loving new home even if they don’t stay together. IMPORTANT NOTE: Recently the number of deaths from hungry coyote attacks has greatly increased. Coyotes can climb 10 foot fences with a small to medium sized dog in their jaws. This happens in broad daylight in the middle of the day, and on trails while hiking with your dog on a leash, it is truly unbelievable, and we have frightening first-hand accounts. We are listing these lovely pups to help their current foster/rescue in finding them wonderful new homes. All four girl pups are spayed, Shorty is neutered, and all of them current on vaccines. To learn more about Millie (Cookie, Shorty, Poopsy, and Missy), please contact us at: theanimalsleftbehind@socal.rr.com (also our PayPal email for donations and sponsorships).

Story
Meet Sonic – Our Sweet 15-Year-Old Gentleman Looking for a Soft Landing Sonic may be 15, but don’t let his age fool you—this little guy still has plenty of pep in his step and love to give. After being surrendered to the shelter by the only family he ever knew—simply for being "too old"—we knew we had to step in and give him the chance he deserves. Now in foster care, Sonic is thriving. He’s completely house-trained as long as he has access to the yard, and he’s a breeze to live with—no separation anxiety, no fuss. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and even enjoys a bit of playtime! He can walk over a mile with ease, hills and all, and just this morning, he even initiated a game of tug. Sonic is affectionate without being clingy. He enjoys companionship, but also values his independence—he’s the perfect balance of chill and charming. Ideal Home: Easy access to a yard (minimal or no stairs preferred) Another small dog friend would be a bonus A calm, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years in comfort If you’re looking for a gentle, low-maintenance companion who still has some spark left in him, Sonic may just be your perfect match. Let’s give this sweet soul the retirement he deserves.

Story
Meet Imp! He is lovely girl rescued by our team from High-kill shelter in Korea. She gave birth to his babies in the shelter. Behaviours from the previous foster: She is so gentle that she doesn’t bark at all and doensn’t have any aggressive behaviours. She loves walking and meeting her friends and She loves her hooman so much. She likes to be pat - especially on her butt – and always sleeps besides her hooman. She is doing her job out doors- moving her bowels. She is not a big fan of showering but she seems to bear it- She is so patient. We haven’t found any separation anxieties so far, She seems to be beyond happy when the owners come back home though. She is a little bit timid that she is afraid of some scary noise like vacuum cleaner, plastic bottle and so on. She has so much love in her. Be her loving family and she will be with you and adores you forever. Allergy/health issues: She has motion sickness. So It will help her if you let her doing her job_moving her bowels_ and keep her stomach empty before gettinng a car. *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. —> all details are on the poster! Please check it carefully.
