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. Both dogs were extremely underweight, with visible bones, yet were still wearing clothes—clear evidence of intentional abandonment. The dogs, later named **Latte** and **Tosi**, are believed to be siblings and appear to have spent their entire lives together.

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.

Story
Rubi is a stunning little beauty, full of joy and life! She is playful, happy, and wonderfully curious about the world around her. Rubi loves exploring, meeting new people, and discovering everything life has to offer. She has a bright, joyful personality and a sweet spirit that makes everyone around her smile. Life didn’t start easily for Rubi and her siblings. Rubi, along with her brothers Ron, Rudy, and Rufus, was abandoned overnight in a box outside the shelter. They were wet, cold, and very hungry when they were found. Thankfully, our partner rescue, SOS el Arca Animal Rescue, took them in and provided shelter, veterinary care, and lots of love. Since then, Rubi and her siblings have grown into beautiful, healthy puppies. Rubi will be 6 months old in April, which means she will be ready to travel to New York and start her new life with a loving family. She is an affectionate and playful puppy who will thrive in a home where she can continue learning, playing, and growing with her people. Rubi is expected to grow into a medium-size dog, making her a wonderful companion for many different types of homes and lifestyles. She is also crate trained, which helps with potty training and makes the transition into a new home smoother and easier for both Rubi and her future family. Rubi is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, dewormed, and 4DX tested. She is also on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention (Simparica). We are currently looking for a committed adopter or foster-to-adopt home so Rubi can travel to New York on the next transport. If you are looking for a joyful, loving puppy who will bring happiness and energy into your life, Rubi could be the perfect addition to your family. To adopt Rubi, please complete an application and email sosanimalwelfare@gmail.com.

Ron is a handsome and joyful 5-month-old puppy with a playful spirit and a loving heart. He’s full of curiosity and enthusiasm for life. He enjoys exploring, playing with his siblings, and discovering the world around him. Ron has a sweet and friendly nature and loves being around people, always eager to see what’s going on and join in the fun. Ron and his siblings Rubi, Rudy, and Rufus did not have the easiest start in life. They were abandoned overnight in a box outside the shelter—wet, cold, and very hungry. Thankfully, our partner rescue, SOS el Arca Animal Rescue, found them and took them in. They received the care they needed, including veterinary attention, warm shelter, and lots of love. Since then, Ron has grown into a happy, healthy puppy who is ready to find a family of his own. He is playful, affectionate, and curious, with a bright personality that makes him a joy to be around. Like any young puppy, he will thrive in a home where he can continue learning, playing, and growing with patient and loving people. Ron is expected to grow into a medium-size dog, making him a great companion for many different types of homes and lifestyles. He is crate trained, which helps with potty training and makes the transition into a new home much easier. He is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, dewormed, and 4DX tested. Ron is also on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention (Simparica). Ron will soon be ready to travel to New York, and we are currently looking for a committed adopter or foster-to-adopt home so he can make that journey and start his new life. If you are looking for a playful, loving puppy who will grow into a loyal companion, Ron could be the perfect addition to your family.

Story
Pach is a handsome young boy about 1 year old and weighs around 35 lbs. He has a gentle, sweet personality and a calm nature that makes him a wonderful companion. Pach gets along great with other dogs and enjoys playing with his kennel mates, but he also has a soft and affectionate side and loves quiet moments with people. Pach was rescued along with his siblings and their mom from a construction site where the Mayan Train railway was being built. The dogs were being fed by kind construction workers who reached out to our partner rescue, SOS el Arca Animal Rescue. Thanks to them, Pach and his family were brought to safety where they received veterinary care, testing, shelter, and lots of love. Pach can be a little shy when he first meets new people or is in a new environment, but once he feels safe his sweet personality begins to shine. He would do best with a patient adopter who will give him time to adjust and help him build confidence. Because he loves other dogs, Pach would likely do very well in a home with another friendly dog who can be his playmate and help him continue to learn and feel secure. He is a smart and well-mannered young dog who is crate trained and walks nicely on a leash. Pach is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, dewormed, and 4DX tested. He is also on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention (Simparica). At about 35 lbs, he is a great medium size for many homes and lifestyles. Pach is ready to leave the shelter behind and find the loving family he deserves. We would love to bring him to New York on the next transport, but he needs a committed adopter or foster-to-adopt home in place before he can travel. If you are looking for a gentle, loyal, and loving companion who will blossom with a little patience and kindness, Pach could be the perfect addition to your family. To adopt Pach, please complete an application and email sosanimalwelfare@gmail.com.

Meet Milo — a 10-month-old, 30lbs sweetheart with a soft soul, gentle eyes, and a heart full of love ❤️ Milo is a thoughtful, gentle young boy with a calm and affectionate nature. He takes in the world with curiosity and care, and once he’s comfortable, his sweet personality truly shines. Milo forms strong bonds with his people and is the kind of pup who will be deeply loyal and loving to his family. Rescued as a puppy, Milo has been raised in a safe, nurturing environment thanks to our partner SOS el Arca Animal Rescue. This solid foundation has helped him grow into a well-mannered, loving pup who is ready to continue blossoming in a forever home. Milo does wonderfully with other dogs and would especially thrive in a home with a confident canine companion. Having another dog helps him feel comfortable, learn routines, and gain confidence through positive social interaction. He’s gentle with children and is curious—but respectful—around cats, and would do well with proper introductions. He is crate trained and currently working on potty training. With a consistent routine and continued positive reinforcement, Milo is expected to keep making great progress. He will do best in a home that offers structure, patience, and encouragement as he continues to grow. We highly recommend puppy classes or confidence-building training for Milo—not only to support his learning, but also to strengthen the bond with his new family and help him continue developing into a well-rounded companion. Milo is fully vetted and ready for his forever home: -Neutered -Microchipped -Fully vaccinated -Dewormed -4DX tested (heartworm negative) -On flea, tick, and heartworm prevention Milo has the opportunity to travel to New York in April, but he can only make the trip with a committed adopter, foster-to-adopt, or foster home in place. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving pup who will thrive with companionship and guidance, Milo may be the perfect addition to your family. Fill out an adoption application and email it to us at sosanimalwelfare@gmail.com — we’ll happily get back to you. Milo is ready for his next chapter—one filled with love, security, and a family to call his own ❤️
