Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to LAX💟 Meet Milo! 🧃 💙 Name: Milo 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 5 years old (Born in May 2020) 💙 Weight: 7 kg / 15.43 lb 💙 Milo's News Account: @foster_zip_ 1⃣ Health Condition * Spayed. * Microchipped, fully recovered from heartworm, and dental scaling completed. * Has allergies to ticks and fleas. * His gums were generally receded with inflammation spreading toward the roots. Scaling was performed and the gum line was lowered, but additional scaling or extractions may be required in the future. 2⃣ Rescue Story * When Milo was at the Gimje City Shelter, he always had a sad face and sat in the corner. He was busy hiding in the corner whenever people approached, seemingly afraid of something. He was rescued before his fear and stress could worsen. 3⃣ Basic Information * With People: Is very shy. If a stranger tries to touch him suddenly, he sends stress signals like yawning or smacking his lips. Specifically feels uncomfortable around older women and feels relatively more comfortable with men. Among the family he lives with, he was particularly uncomfortable with the mother, but the relationship is gradually improving. With people he is familiar with, he does well enough to give kisses, allow hugging and touching, and even show his belly! When he is in a good mood, he expresses affection by tapping with his nose and staring intently into your eyes. Shows affection and his belly to his foster parent. It is best to wait until Milo opens his heart. * With Dogs: Doesn't have much interest in other dog friends at his foster home. Got along indifferently enough to have no trouble with other dogs at our center and school. * With Cats: Shows no interest in cats. * Separation Anxiety: Rests well alone without separation anxiety. * Potty Training: Is potty training indoors using pads and artificial turf. Once a pad is used, it must be folded away as he will never use it again. Poops once every 2-3 days and has a bit of coprophagia (eating stool), so it is best to clean up immediately after he goes. * Hygiene: Is a bit scared of water from a showerhead but takes baths well and has no rejection of hair dryers. Loves being brushed, so when he's in a good mood, he lies down comfortably for it. Doesn't like his paws being touched, so there might be a "mouth punch" (snapping) during nail trims; it's best to hold him and trim quickly. * Walks: Is a bit scared of the outdoors and once panicked during a walk, so he is currently undergoing indoor walk training. Showed anxiety during indoor training and struggled more when wearing a leash, so training was paused and then restarted. Is now following the lead better than at first! * Car Sickness: No motion sickness at all. Rests quietly in his kennel during travel. * Shows a behavior of opening his mouth toward strangers in situations where he feels scared. * No particular barking. Occasionally, if he wants to drink water or go potty and someone is with him, he makes a very small whining sound. After going potty, he whines to signal the foster parent to clean it up. Sometimes barks timidly at the foster parent's parents. * Likes resting alone inside his kennel. Is a total snack lover. Loves all kinds of meat, such as boiled chicken breast and duck jerky! * Large movements or sudden touches can be burdensome for Milo. Specifically, if a stranger tries to grab his paws, he growls and twitches his lips. Also, if held for about a minute, he may have a potty accident. Is very alert to outside noises and shows some growling. Is scared of the sound of a leash buckle. If he gets stressed during training or at the clinic, he may pee and run away. Is sensitive to paw touches and is undergoing desensitization training.

Story
This handsome boy is Eli and he is an approx 8/9 year old Westie/Cairn Terrier mix that is about 14lbs. Eli came to us when his owner died and the adult children did not want him. He was living with one of the sons and his wife and they said they couldn't keep him, so we very happily took him into our foundation. Eli is an amazing dog! He is calm, quiet, happy, loving, but also independent. He could be your one and only dog as he does not interact with other dogs, not at all. He really seems to prefer people. Eli is the perfect dog for someone who works from home or is retired. He does love his walks and by no means is he geriatric! He is peppy and full of fun energy! Eli would make a perfect companion and an even more perfect addition to any household that is calm and non chaotic. He is just a great all around dog with so much love to give! Eli is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. We only adopt in So California as an in person meet/greet, home check, and trial are required. Please contact us at gina@theforgottendog.org or 310-990-2020

Rubie is an adorable Westie/Poodle mix, about 9 years old and weighs about 20 lbs. Her previous owners dumped her at a high kill shelter with major medical issues.

She is doing great at her Foster home, she loves her walks and car rides. She is OK with other dogs with a proper introduction. She is best suited in an adult home who can spend a lot of time with her, no kids. Rubie is up to date on vaccines, spayed and microchipped.

Story
Meet Chohee! She is the sweetest girll!  She is a 2 year old that was rescued from a kill shelter before heading to a dog meat farm in South Korea.  We have partners we work with there that pull these dogs from the worst horrors imaginable.  Many of these dogs start off in horiffic puppy mill type facilities on tiny rabbit cage size wire crates in complete filth.  If they are not sold at 6 or 8 weeks then they either stay for a couple years to be used to breed more and then are sold off to the meat trade, or they are sold off right away.  Jindo's and Tosa's are the most common meat type dogs, and are very commonly bred specifically for their meat and the meat farms also act as breeding farms until they reach a good age and weight. South Korea is one of the only countries that actually farms dogs for their meat.   Restaurants will serve a dish called " bosintang ", which stands for "dog meat soup". It's a popular dish in South  Korea,  and is said to act as an aphrodisiac for men.    Little dogs are used for elixirs and potions.  The younger generation is mostly against this practice and many choose to not eat them, and we can only hope in time with education and generations of change that an end will come to this horrific trade.  Chohee and some of her family and friends have been flown here for a chance at a future and a real life.  These are miracle dogs that they are alive today.  Our adoption fee is $600 which helps offset some of the flight costs.  If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application form at  https://form.jotform.com/oscarlucy/dog-adoption-app March 11, 2026, 8:52 pm
