Story
📌 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 Coby was found in Gajwa-dong, Incheon. At the time of rescue, he was wearing a collar, suggesting he may have once belonged to someone. However, despite waiting for over two months, no one came forward to claim him. He has since been living in foster care, where he has shown himself to be an exceptionally gentle and well-adjusted companion. 🌿 Temperament & Behavior Coby likes other dogs and greets them politely without barking. He shows friendly interest and interacts calmly. When he sees cats, he shows curiosity and wants to follow them. He does not bark or show aggressive behavior, but he has not been tested off-leash with cats. He shows little interest in passing children. He has not had experience with very young children who are not yet walking. 🚶 Walking & Daily Life Coby enjoys short daily walks, about 15–20 minutes in the morning and evening. After walks, he spends most of his time resting calmly at home. He walks nicely on leash and settles easily into a relaxed indoor routine. 🏡 Habits & Training Coby is fully pad-trained indoors. Because he lifts his leg when urinating, his pee pads are set up in an L-shape. Since starting twice-daily walks, he now prefers to poop outdoors, though he previously used indoor pads reliably as well. Early in foster care, he marked indoors 3–4 times. Occasionally, when left alone, he urinated on the sofa. After limiting sofa access during absences, this behavior stopped completely. He now consistently uses a single designated pad area and is very easy to manage indoors. He has no howling and no destructive behavior. He may bark briefly (about twice) at the doorbell, but otherwise he is a very quiet dog. Coby tolerates bathing, brushing, paw cleaning, and general handling extremely well. He enjoys staying close to people but is also comfortable sleeping separately at night. 💛 Likes & Personality Coby is affectionate and loving with people. When passersby show interest, he calmly makes eye contact and approaches when called to receive pets. His foster family describes him as an exceptionally easy dog to live with—so much so that they feel it would be hard to meet another dog as well-mannered as Coby. He is currently living in a foster home. 💙 Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation Customs and export documentation Medical care (spay/neuter 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.

📌 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 Diah was rescued from the euthanasia list at "Jeongeup City Shelter" in South Korea. Thanks to timely intervention, she was given a second chance at life and moved into a foster home, where she has been able to show her true personality in a safe and loving environment. ●Temperament & Behavior Diah is a very people-loving dog. She is comfortable even with strangers touching her and often approaches first, asking for affection. As soon as someone pets her, she happily rolls onto her back, inviting more love and belly rubs. She gets along well with other dogs and can live in a multi-dog household. While she may feel a bit overwhelmed by dogs that play very roughly, once she has time to get to know them, she plays happily with dogs of all sizes—running, playing, and engaging in gentle wrestling. Her compatibility with cats has not yet been tested. ●Walking & Daily Life At first, Diah seemed a bit timid on walks, but with consistent leash training she has learned to walk nicely while matching her handler’s pace. Loud noises or passing cars may briefly startle her, causing her to pause, but if given a moment to calmly wait, she regains confidence and continues walking, sniffing around and enjoying her surroundings. She has no food allergies, is not a picky eater, and eats well. Her shedding level is moderate, about 5 out of 10. ●Habits & Training Diah uses indoor pee pads about 80% of the time and goes potty outdoors about 20% of the time. She tolerates baths and brushing well and remains calm during grooming. She does not show separation anxiety and is comfortable staying alone. She rarely barks, only giving a short bark occasionally at the doorbell. She rides extremely well in the car with no motion sickness. When placed in a car seat, she calmly lies down, naps, watches people, or looks out the window. ●Likes & Personality Diah loves playing with toys and engaging in gentle play. She is currently living in a foster home. ●Personality (Three Words): Perfect, affectionate, and easygoing. 💙 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.
