Story
Lyra is a big sweetie! She turned 2 in May, leashes very well, loves people and kids and other dogs. She is part Whippet and so loves to run. She needs to run. She needs a fenced yard that she can run off leash in. SHE LOVES TO RUN! zoom back and forth and around in circles. it brings her so much joy!! I love to watch her. She's a high energy dog that needs more exercise than I can give her. I am a working single mom, live in an apt and have no fenced space. She is also super snuggly. She wants to be in the bed with you, playing with you, interacting with everyone and every dog she is around. She will get up right next to you and curl up in your armpit, sleep late with you, and look right in your eyes with deep deep doggy love! She is an incredible companion for an individual or a family. She has a very gentle mouth, and almost never barks. only barks when someone comes to the door. We love her so much, and I know you will, too!

These pups are in Atlanta, Georgia too!

Story
**Current location: in a foster home in South Korea** >Rescue Story: He was rescued from a high-kill shelter along with his brother in Jan 2023. While his lucky brother found his forever home soon after and has been happily living with his family, Saerom was relinquished twice by his first and second families unfortunately. His former families misunderstood his teething as biting and did not like his appearance. He may have been hurt by them, but is growing as a bright pup in his current foster for the past 10 months and has learned socialization to be ready to find his true forever family. We hope he won't get hurt by humans ever again! > 3 keywords: attached to his owner/ active/ smart > Affinity with - Dogs: Generally good around other dogs! He's been behaving at a dog swimming pool or a dog cafe. - Cats: He lived with a kitten once in the current foster home, and he ended up being sweet and taking care of it :) - Kids: When he was a puppy, he lived with two kids (one elementary schooler, one kindergartener) in his previous foster home and liked playing with them. > Housetrained: uses indoor pee-pads placed in a restroom! > Barks/Howls: Only barks at the doorbell sound. > Walking Manners: He tends to pull a little out of excitement at the beginning of a walk but paces with his walker later on. > Energy Level: mid-high since he is still young! > Appetite: He eats anything well! > Car Rides: He has felt slight car sickness for a long time over 20 minutes. (fine with subway) > Bathing/Teeth Brushing: Good with water itself, but not a fan of a dryer. / Likes doggy toothpaste! No problem with teeth brushing every night! > Likes: plush toys and dog chews! > Commands/Tricks: sit, paw, stay, eat (pound twice on the floor), down, and 'V' > Shedding: 2 during non-shedding seasons and 8 during shedding seasons

Story
Rescue Story : Meet Beckma👋 a friendly lovable boy! Beckma was found on a street in South Korea at just 2 months old in Nov 2021 and taken to a high-risk city shelter along with his brother. Fortunately rescued right before euthanasia by the rescue team, the two brothers started living with numerous dogs in a private shelter. Sadly, both brothers haven’t had a single opportunity to live in a foster home until now, but Beckma’s sweetness shines through in the shelter. Beckma is ready to meet his loving family and start a new chapter of his life. Could that be with you?

Walking Manner : In training, but he has a reliable recall. Housetrained : As a clean pup, he knows how to use pee-pads indoors although he lives in a shelter. Bath/Brushing : Tolerates baths well / Brushing is unnecessary due to short coat. Separation Anxiety : None. Bark or Howl : Barks a little towards the dogs he doesn’t like or strangers, but becomes friendly easily with new faces. Carsickness : A bit scared of car rides. He tends to have carsickness. Likes & Dislikes : He loves toys, treats, and people! / Not a fan of aggressive dogs. Current Location : Well-taken care of at a private shelter in South Korea. Personality : Affectionate, Energetic, Playful Beckma is such a sweet and lovable boy! He will surely smother you with all the love and kisses that he has! He may seem shy and bark a little when you meet him first, but at any moment you will find him showing affection and wanting your pets. Beckma is a bundle of energy and charm. His playful antics and sweet personality will bring a smile to your face and fill your home with laughter! Although he is generally good with other dogs, he would best thrive in a home as an only child since he sometimes gets in fights with them.
