Story
🩷 Rescue Story Shiney was rescued from a legal breeding facility in Jeongeup city from South Korea. After spending her early life in a breeding environment, she was given the opportunity to leave that setting behind and start a new chapter. Since entering foster care, she has shown a calm, composed demeanor and has adjusted steadily to a quieter, more stable life. 🌿 Temperament & Behavior Malgeum is a quiet and independent dog who prefers to mind her own business. She shows little interest in other dogs and generally ignores them rather than engaging. She does not do well with cats and may attempt to chase them if she sees one. With children, she is tolerant and gentle. Even when a child touches her, she remains calm and still, showing no signs of aggression. 🚶 Walking & Daily Life Malgeum follows an outdoor-only potty routine and is fully accustomed to doing her business outside. Her overall demeanor is calm and self-contained. She is not demanding of attention and is comfortable spending time on her own. 🏡 Habits & Training Malgeum is well-adjusted to daily routines and does not exhibit problematic behaviors. Her independent nature makes her an easy companion for adopters who appreciate a dog with a more reserved personality. 💛 Likes & Personality Malgeum values personal space and a peaceful environment. She may not seek constant affection, but she offers quiet companionship in her own steady way. She is currently living in a foster home.

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 Dong-yeop👋 Dong-yeop was wandering in the mountain and the neighborhood. He followed other dogs walking around. Some residents filed many complaints to fire stations, police stations and animal rescue organizations, but they all failed to rescue him, raising vigilance. In the meantime, He often appeared in front of the house of a resident and ate meat she was feeding him. Some residents who were interested in Dong-yeop's rescue in the neighborhood decided to work together to rescue the dog, set up a fence in front of the house, and succeeded in rescuing Dong-yeop who came in to eat. Since then, Dong-yeop has been living in a temporary foster home for months, where he had good care and love and learned lots of tricks. He has turned into an amazing dog who loves walking and playing with toys! He is now more than ready to find his own forever home! • Personality: Shy, Smart, Curious • Affinity with -Cats: He tends to chase street cats but is not very interested in indoor family cats. -Dogs: Great with other dogs. He also relies on the resident dog in his foster home. -Adults/Kids: Shy around new faces / not much interest in kids • Shedding: 5-6 (1-10 scale) • Food Allergies/Picky Eater: No food allergies. While he loves meat very much, he doesn't eat vegetables or fruits. • Walking Manners: Still in training but improved a lot on leash walking! Now he's excited to go out for walks. • Housetrained: Fully-housebroken, using the bathroom only outside. • Baths: Not a fan! • Separation Anxiety: None, thanks to the other dog in the house. • Bark or Howl: Not really... except when he greets his foster at home out of joy. • Likes & Dislikes: He likes other dogs and tug-of-war! He loves beef and he likes to get pets! / He's not a fan of being chased or carried by people. He seems to get better as times go by though. 💙 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.

Story
Meet Koji Koji is an incredibly affectionate, loyal companion who loves nothing more than curling up on the sofa for a cozy cuddle with his person. He’s happiest when he’s close to his human, soaking up attention and calm companionship. Koji is content to spend long stretches indoors as long as he has occasional check-ins and chances to step outside. That said, Koji also has a deep love for the outdoors. He thrives in nature—whether it’s a peaceful forest trail, a good hike, or playing in the snow (affectionately nicknamed “Snoji”). A sunny patch of grass or a quiet outdoor space can truly make his day. Koji recently had a full veterinary checkup and is in very good health with no special medical conditions. Koji weighs 37 pounds, is neutered, and is up to date on all vaccinations. Kojis looking for the right home where he can feel safe, understood, and cherished. What Koji Needs A home with older kids A quiet, low-stress environment Preferably a fenced yard or enclosed deck/balcony so he can enjoy the outdoors safely Moderately active people — Koji loves a great walk or hike, but also enjoys relaxing and lounging at home Koji would thrive with patient, compassionate adopters who value connection, structure, and calm. In the right home, he will be a deeply devoted and loving companion.  **KOJI IS CURRENTLY FOSTERED IN MONTREAL** ##2609242##

Needs experienced adopter,
Story
Ok, hold onto your hats, primitive breed lovers. Meet Kip! This handsome guy is looking for a new home through no fault of his own. Kip is a smart, loving, energetic, playful pup. He’s a cutie for sure but he is a true Shiba in his temperament. Therefore, we are looking for an adopter who has experience with Shibas or breeds with similar “attitude,” such as Akitas, malamutes, basenjis, chow chows, and other “primitive” or “natural” breeds. Kip is a quick learner and wants to make his person happy, but … he’s definitely not a Labrador. Training the quintessential Shiba is a bit like training a cat. Kip might not be all the way to the “cat end” of the Shiba spectrum, but he’s still not likely to respond well to several boring, repetitive training sessions in your living room. Shibas can be quite vocal, and Kip is no exception, so he should not live in an apartment or other home with shared walls or sound-sensitive human family members. He enjoys playing with his humans and does like toys, but he can be a little rough and nippy when playing, so we are looking for a home with adults only or adults and teens. When our volunteer met Kip, he watched her approach with mild suspicion but was happy to accept tossed treats. Our volunteer did not immediately attempt to pet Kip; instead, she gave him the choice of whether to make contact. In just about one minute he was approaching her and was happy to accept pets and scritches. Kip seems quite social and friendly but, like many Shibas, he is the kind of dog who does need just a minute to be sure an unfamiliar human is not a threat. On one occasion, we’ve been told that he did lunge toward a stranger who reached out to pet him without asking. Therefore, his adopter will need to be ready to advocate for Kip and his need for space. This may diminish with time in a stable home situation and a chance to trust that his humans have his back. Kip seems interested in interacting and playing with other dogs, though his past experience with other dogs is a bit of a mystery and he can be leash reactive. He has high prey drive and will need to be on a leash or in a securely fenced yard because he will want to chase critters. We recommend a home with no cats or small pets. A home with a very dog-friendly dog may work with a proper slow introduction, but Kip would likely also be happy as an only dog. Kip is about 2 years old and weighs around 20 lbs. He will be neutered and brought up to date on vaccinations prior to adoption. He has no known health issues. Kip is housetrained. He does not enjoy being crated but doesn’t need to be as he is not destructive when left alone. An adopter with another dog providing a slow dog-dog intro can use baby gates and/or exercise pens rather than a crate for this boy. Kip’s current owner recently adopted him from another family that did not have time for him. His current owner loves him very much and would love to keep him, but one of her resident dogs has made it very clear that he is not going to accept Kip. So with a heavy heart, Kip’s human is looking for the very best home for him with a Shiba-savvy adopter. We (FFOCAS) are helping her safely rehome Kip. Interested? Please get in touch via email ([ffocas4pets@gmail.com](mailto:ffocas4pets@gmail.com)). We’ll ask you to fill out a rehoming application to keep this process as safe as possible for all involved – especially Kip!
