Story
Woof! Woof! My name is Hyunjin. I am only 4 years old and weigh 4 kg. I was abandoned by my own pet parents on a rainy busy street named after a famous baseball pitcher, Hyunjin Ryu ex Dodgers Pitcher. Thankfully, I was rescued immediately and taken to a safe place. I am fully vetted and neutered. I am great on walks and enjoy playing with toys. I am okay with kids and as well as other furry friends as well. My foster is currently working on my potty training and other basic commands. I prefer a household where someone is home at all times as I will need time to get acclimated to the new environment. Should you be interested in adopting me as your new family member, please fill out our adoption application on our site to be considered as potential adopters. We highly encourage you to read our FAQs page on our site. PLEASE NOTE: All of our recently rescued dogs are currently fostered in Seoul, Korea by our volunteers. Our adoption process may be stricter than any other rescue organization as these rescued dogs are traveling over 5500 miles to be with their new permanent family. You must be at least 25 years old to be considered an overseas adopter. For serious inquiries only. Please note, we monitor all pets after adoption. We prefer adopters that are active on any of the social media accounts. Thank you!

Story
This senior was dumped after having a home for 11 years due to a divorce (which is never a reason to give up on your pets!!). This left him and his doggie sister homeless, because the rescue he was originally adopted from is now closed. Before they were dumped they were neglected in a cold garage where Roccos sister would eat all of his food, leaving him emaciated. He was scared and confused and does not deserve this! Rocco had to be separated from his sister, but is currently safe with a foster right now. He desperately needs a furever home to feel loved and like he belongs again! Rocco is still very skinny and needs to gain weight. He is up-to-date on all vaccinations and is neutered. He gets along with other dogs and cats. Apply to adopt this adorable boy today!

Story
Josie is the sweetest most grateful rescue ever. She was so horribly neglected by her family that when surrendered the shelter gave her one day to go to a rescue for care or be euthanized. Josie has received all the medical care needed. She’s been through a lot and all she can do is say “thank you I love you. She will slather you with kisses. She wants to cuddle next to you on the couch and snuggle up with you in bed. She will lay in a cozy bed at your feet while you work in the kitchen or at your desk. She loves going with you, and is wonderful on car rides and walks. She’s a great eater. Josie is healthy, happy and receives eyedrops each day for dry eye. Josie is 12 years old, friendly to all and loves other dogs. Josie weighs 7 pounds and is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. Her adoption fee is $350.
