Story
Meet Yogi! This handsome, sweet-natured boy is friendly, playful, and full of personality. Once he feels comfortable, his curious and fun-loving side really shines he loves being outside, going on walks, and keeping a watchful eye on everything around him. Like many Shibas, Yogi is smart, independent, and marches to the beat of his own drum. He appreciates quiet companionship and his alone time just as much as a good adventure. He does well with other dogs and has made wonderful progress building his confidence in new situations and he continues to grow every day. Yogi hasn't been around young children, but given his friendly nature and sweet temperament, he may do well with them. Yogi is pretty well house-trained, though he'll need to be let out promptly in the mornings to avoid accidents. He's also working on commands, but true to his Shiba spirit, he'll follow them on his own terms. Yogi will thrive with an adopter who will give him the time and space to settle in, and who will meet him with kindness, patience, and consistency. In return, he will reward you with loyalty, laughter, and a whole lot of personality. Please visit our website www.promise4paws.org to fill out an adoption application to this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Freya is very likely a pure breed Shiba Inu who we adopted from an animal rescue facility in Orange County, CA on November 9, 2025. After adopting her and taking her to our vet for her detailed medical exam, we were told Freya is approx. 3-5 years old. Freya is a sweetheart!!! She just wants to be loved and wants to play with anyone she meets, including other dogs. Freya is house trained, attended an extensive out-of-home obedience training course and wears a “stem” collar to promote continued training and obedience. She gets along wonderfully with people and children. Freya is free to a good home.

Story
Zoe is a beautiful 9-year-old Shiba Inu looking for a calm, child-free home. She has been a beloved part of our family since a puppy, but with a toddler and a new baby on the way, we can no longer provide the controlled environment she needs to feel safe and relaxed. Zoe is an independent, loyal companion who enjoys quiet time and routine. She’s generally calm & quiet but has some behavioral sensitivities & can be reactive around children and other dogs and may snap if touched unexpectedly. Because of this, she’ll do best in a home without young kids or other pets, with someone experienced in understanding and managing Shiba behaviors. She is currently on medication for anxiety and allergies, which help her stay comfortable. Zoe is house-trained, crate-trained, up to date on vaccinations and vet visits, and prefers a peaceful environment with predictable routines. We are looking for a patient, responsible adopter who can offer Zoe a safe and loving home for her senior years!

📌 Important Adoption Information: All of our dogs are currently living in private shelters or foster homes in South Korea. Once an adoption is approved, dogs will travel to the United States through legal and approved international transport procedures. Video calls are available prior to adoption, and adopters can communicate with our rescue team in real time through our official organization and app-based messaging channels throughout the process. • Rescue Story: Meet Ellong 👋 Ellong was found on the streets of South Korea in 2018 and rescued just moments before euthanasia. Against the odds, she survived—and in 2021, she finally found what we all believed was her forever home. Sadly, after four years of being part of a family, Ellong was returned to the shelter. We were heartbroken and confused to hear that she was said not to coexist well with another dog—after four years together. Despite this painful chapter, Ellong remains one of the most well-behaved and gentle dogs at the shelter. She carries no bitterness, only quiet hope. We truly wish for Ellong to find a real forever home this time—one that will stand by her, cherish her, and never abandon her again💛 • Personality: Affectionate, Gentle, Friendly Ellong is full of affection and loves people. She adapts quickly to new places. Energy level is mid-low. • Affinity with - Dogs: Does well around other dogs - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Great with all people / Hasn't experienced kids, but we believe she would be fine with calm older kids. • Housetrained: Uses pee-pads indoors and the bathroom outdoors. • Walking Manners: Loves sniffing around on walks. • Bathing/Brushing: Good with both • Separation Anxiety: None. • Barks/Howls: Quiet • Car Rides: Good with car rides. • Appetite/Food Allergies: No food allergies found so far • Likes/Dislikes: Loves belly rubs the most! • Shedding level (1~10): 6-7 • Health: Ellong is suspected to have grade 1.5 patellar luxation. Maintaining a healthy weight and engaging in regular exercise are recommended to help preserve her current condition. Otherwise, she is a healthy, happy pup ready for her forever family! 💙 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.
