Meet Jiae💙 💙 Name: Jiae 💙 Gender: Female 💙 Age: Approx. 2 years old (Born around Aug 2024) 💙 Weight: 3.9 kg (8.6 lbs) 💙 Jiae's Update Account: @jiae.is.a.dog ​1️⃣ Health Status * ​Spayed. * ​Microchipped, currently undergoing treatment for heartworm and giardia. ​2️⃣ Rescue Story * ​Jiae was found severely neglected alongside her mother (#Adogs_Sunae) in a rural village in Gyeonggi-do. Unable to leave her in such terrible conditions, Adogs urgently stepped in to rescue her. ​3️⃣ Personality & Traits * People Interaction: Very affectionate with humans. Wags her tail at the slightest sign of attention and calmly enjoys being held. Loves physical affection. * ​Dog Interaction: Friendly and sociable. Upon arriving at the center, she happily roamed among other dogs with a wagging tail. If a potential dispute over food arises, she gently steps back. * ​Cat Interaction: Has not met cats yet. * Separation Anxiety: Rests well on her own without barking or showing other signs of separation anxiety, and eats and drinks well. * ​House Training: ​At the current foster home, she doesn't recognize pee pads as a designated bathroom area and holds her urine/bowels, so she is currently undergoing potty training. Currently goes outside to relieve herself. There is no marking behavior when going. * ​Hygiene & Grooming: Isn't fully used to baths and blow-drying yet, so she is currently practicing getting accustomed to them. Shows mild hyperventilation during baths and needs a lot of soothing afterward. Also dislikes having eye gunk removed, so desensitization training is needed. At the current foster home, her teeth are brushed once a day. Her nails haven't been trimmed yet, but she shows no resistance to having her paws touched. * ​Walking: ​Currently goes on two 20-minute walks a day primarily for potty breaks. Isn't completely comfortable on a leash yet and shows slight hesitation when guided in a direction she doesn't want to go, but follows along well if given a moment to wait. * ​Car Rides: Rides well without any motion sickness * ​Biting/Nipping: None observed * ​Barking: No nuisance barking or whining * ​Likes: Loves treats. * ​Dislikes: Shows no major dislikes, though she startles slightly if picked up suddenly * ​Overall Temperament: Active, gentle, and highly friendly toward both people and dogs.

Story
Meet Leyla! Leyla is a lovely little Yorkie, around 9-10 years old. She has so much spunk and zest for life left in her! She’s really come out of her shell in her foster home and is quite an adorable ball of energy. Leyla is a little velcro dog who likes to be with you all the time. She is fine with other dogs but not that interested in them. As long as her humans are around, she is happy. She is a bit timid on walks but getting better. A more quiet neighborhood is probably best for her. She has a little bit of separation anxiety and may cry in her crate for a few minutes when you leave the house. She will settle after a little while. She would probably prefer to go everywhere with you.  She had a thorough check up, including a dental and is in good shape. She is vaccinated, chipped and spayed also. Leyla is a little love bug! Her adoption fee is $395 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life! To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!

Story
Disco King came into his foster home a shy, nervous little pup, and has since decided that actually, he's kind of a big deal. The Disco King, if you will. At a MASSIVE…2.5 pounds, he’s the smaller of the two brothers, which has not affected his confidence in the slightest. He runs around the house with his lamb chop stuffie in his mouth like he owns the place. It’s important we point out that there are two other identical lamb chops available; he is not interested in them. This one is his. He loves kids, is doing well with the basics, and is fine in a home with or without another dog. He appreciates his space for napping, but is happy to snuggle up with a human anytime. The King is still working on bladder control (which makes sense because he’s just a baby), but h’s making progress every day. He's also not a fan of having his paws wiped…yet (another work in progress). Bonus? He makes sounds his foster describes as guinea pig-like (do yourself a favor and look that up if you’ve never heard them!), which they describe as extremely endearing. (...duh). Disco King is a lot of personality in a very small package, and whoever gets him is going to have a lot of fun finding all of it. -----

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.
