Story
Hi I'm Stitch. I'm ITTY bitty-photos make me look big but I am not even 30 lbs. I am around 8-9 months old. I am very, very shy around new people. A home where there are very patient humans who will allow me the time and space to get comfortable is what I need...and a dog(s) friend. Dogs help me a lot. A playful, balanced dog pal would be the absolute dream. I am crate trained and house broken. Leash skills are a work in progress. Holler!

Story
Totally guessing on the mix. He’s really part meatloaf part silver fox. Uncle Paulie found himself in the shelter after his human was hospitalized and not expected to recover. He is deaf and has some vision impairment but manages to navigate the house and yard. He is good with everyone and he’s extremely easy going. He is on a diet and not happy about that. But he needs to lose some weight. Shelter records say he had some breathing, possible heart issues but we immediately took him to our vet and they said he was fine. He just needed to lose weight and get a much needed dental. He had the dental and required 9 extractions. He was already missing 22 teeth. Needless to say, he needs soft food. But the good news is that his mouth doesn’t stink anymore.

Story
Meet Green💚 Green had been staying at Korean City Shelter for more than a year already. When ADOGS visited the shelter, he loved people so much and greeted the worker with the most welcoming attitude, and ended up being rescued with Purple all together. *Separation anxiety: Staying in a narrow space is more of concern than separation anxiety. *Potty-training: Prefers outdoor potty! *Green is scared of strangers and a new environment. He gets scared and avoids human hands. Takes some time to get acquainted with Green. Can get scared if someone suddenly touches, holds, or approaches at him.💦 *Once he befriends people, he becomes a cheerful lovebug who comes to lie down and leans his body!💓 *Can whimper in a narrow space but stays calm when he is in a free space. Still slightly hard for Green to stay inside the crate for a long time. *Need some time to warm up with other doggy friends! *A smart boy who knows his name when someone calls him. 🐶 *Eats kibbles and takes the medicine well and tends to have some food obsession but doesn’t take away other dog’s kibbles. *Has good walking manners. Can balance with people’s footsteps when walking outside.😊 *Tries to run away when he sees a ball or gets startled on his walk, so he needs one more extra lead leash to prevent him to escape. *Doesn’t like to be bathed but can tolerate it well.🙂 *Tried on a car ride and no carsickness was noted! *Can shed moderately since he is in a shedding season. *Green’s favorites: Walking outside, treats, toys, sniffing mat toy, petting his belly. 💙 Health issues: Finished heartworm treatment (needs retest in January 2024) 💙 Foster's Instagram: @greenyyii
