Story
Artimis is a hurricane rescue from Puerto Rico. She has been a great dog for the family for the past 6 years. She loves going on walks, sleeping in sun spots, curling up on cushions, and pretending the rest of the outside world doesn't exist. In passing she is great with other dogs, children, and people, but she can become stressed when she is overexposed to others for to long. She has been under a lot of stress since had a lot of life changes and needs a quiet(er) home. Some fun things to know: She can teach you how to field dress a snake. She will surgically dismantle any toy you give her that has stitches. She will absolutely catch that annoying fly that's been buzzing around your house. If you put her under a blanket, she will never move again. She will find food. Even if there has never been food in that room before, she will find it. Artemis has sever skin allergies that are treated with Prednisone. She will need to be on 5mg of Prednisone per day.

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. **Health Status:** Latte is generally healthy. He is neutered, fully recovered from surgery, and receives monthly heartworm prevention on the 10th of each month. No known allergies. He shows excellent behavior during veterinary visits with no signs of fear or aggression. --- ### **Rescue Story** On a bitterly cold winter day, January 7, 2026, two Whippets were reported abandoned on a roadside. The dogs were extremely underweight—thin enough that their bones were visible—yet they were still wearing clothes, making it clear they had been deliberately discarded by humans. The two dogs, later named **Latte** and **Tosi**, are believed to be siblings and appear to have lived together their entire lives. Our team immediately rescued them, provided medical evaluations, and began rehabilitation care. Although we are actively investigating the individuals responsible for their abandonment, only circumstantial evidence has been secured so far, making legal action difficult at this time. After more than a month of careful recovery and observation, both dogs are now healthy and emotionally stable enough to begin their adoption journey. While a **bonded adoption** would be ideal, we are also open to placing them separately in exceptional homes if it means long-term safety and love. --- ### **Personality** Latte has a gentle, affectionate temperament and is often described as having a soft, almost “sweet and ladylike” demeanor. He is calm, observant, and emotionally sensitive, yet still enjoys playtime and interaction. * **With dogs:** Excellent. He loves other dogs and plays well. * **With cats:** Friendly and curious—he wants to greet all animals. * **With adults & children:** Loves everyone. Very people-oriented and affectionate. **Energy level (1–10):** * Latte: 7 at peak excitement Overall, Latte is moderate-energy and well-balanced. --- ### **Daily Life & Behavior** * **Bathing:** Not a fan of water, but cooperative and gentle. He may tremble during baths but remains calm and manageable. * **Leash manners:** Excellent. Calm and focused during walks. * **House training:** * Uses pee pads indoors (about 80% accuracy). * Latte tends to use the edge of the pad. * Both dogs have designated areas for bowel movements. * They defecate frequently during walks, indicating high potential for full outdoor potty training. * **Barking/Howling:** * Occasional barking when hearing other dogs outside. * Latte briefly showed howling due to separation anxiety, but this resolved completely within 3 days and is believed to have been situational. * **Car rides:** No known motion sickness (Tosi experiences motion sickness, Latte does not). --- ### **Food & Resource Behavior** Latte has a strong food drive, likely due to past neglect. He eats well and loves treats. Tosi shows mild food-guarding behaviors toward Latte (blocking access, guarding his bowl) but **never shows aggression**. Latte himself is gentle and non-confrontational. --- ### **Likes & Dislikes** * **Loves:** Human laps, physical affection, food, toys * **Dislikes:** Butt wiping 😅 --- ### **Training** * No formal commands yet * Responds to recall approximately 80% of the time * Will stand up on his hind legs when someone pats their chest and calls him * Runs out excitedly when he hears “Mom is leaving!” --- ### **Current Living Situation** Currently in a foster home following group rescue. --- ### **Ideal Home** Latte (and ideally Tosi) is looking for a family who: * Understands the **Whippet breed**, including their sensitivity and need for warmth and closeness * Values gentle handling and emotional security * Is committed to lifelong companionship Latte and Tosi are deeply bonded—sleeping together, playing together, and relying on each other emotionally. A home that welcomes both would be a dream come true. However, we are open to separate adoptions if each dog is placed in an exceptionally loving and stable environment. --- **Latte in three words:** Gentle, affectionate, emotionally intuitive 💙 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.

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. **Health Status:** Tosi is in overall good health. He is neutered, receives monthly heartworm prevention on the 10th of each month, and has no known allergies. He behaves exceptionally well during veterinary visits and shows no fear or aggression. --- **Rescue Story** On January 7, 2026, during an exceptionally cold winter day, two Whippets were reported abandoned on the roadside.

While we are actively pursuing the individuals responsible for their abandonment, only circumstantial evidence has been secured so far, preventing legal action at this time. After more than a month of rehabilitation, Tosi is now healthy, emotionally stable, and ready to begin his adoption journey. A bonded adoption with Latte would be ideal, but we are also considering separate placements in exceptional homes. **Personality** While Latte is gentle and soft, **Tosi is confident and bold**. He has a big presence, a playful spirit, and what his foster describes as a true “leader” personality. Despite his confidence, he is affectionate, people-oriented, and deeply attached to those he trusts. * **With dogs:** Very social and enthusiastic. Loves interaction and play. * **With cats:** Curious and friendly; wants to greet all animals. * **With adults & children:** Loves everyone and seeks attention readily. **Energy level (1–10):** Tosi: 9 at peak excitement** He becomes especially animated during playtime and when toys are involved. **Daily Life & Behavior** * **Bathing:** Not fond of water, but cooperative. Stays calm during washing and face cleaning. * **Leash manners:** Energetic. He tries to greet every dog and person he sees. * **House training:** * Uses pee pads indoors (about 80% accuracy). * Bowel movements tend to occur in specific areas. * Frequently defecates during walks, suggesting high potential for outdoor potty training. * **Barking/Howling:** * May bark when hearing other dogs outside, but not excessive. * **Car rides:** Experiences motion sickness approximately 80% of the time. --- **Food & Resource Behavior** Tosi has a strong food drive, likely due to past neglect. He sometimes guards his own food bowl and may block Latte from approaching while eating, but **he has never shown aggression**. Clear structure and supervised feeding resolve this easily. --- **Likes & Dislikes** * **Loves:** Human laps, physical affection, food, toys * **Dislikes:** Butt wiping 😅 --- **Training** * No formal commands yet * Recall success rate: approximately 80% * Responds excitedly to verbal cues and human attention --- **Current Living Situation** Currently in a foster home following group rescue. **Ideal Home** Tosi is looking for a family who: * Understands the **Whippet breed**, including their sensitivity and high emotional needs * Can provide clear boundaries, enrichment, and consistent routines * Is committed to lifelong companionship He shares a deep bond with his brother Latte—sleeping together, playing together, and relying on each other emotionally. A bonded adoption would be ideal, but individual placement may be considered for the right home. **Tosi in three words:** Confident, energetic, big-hearted 💙 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.
