Story
Hi! My name is Annie. Not too long ago, I was running around the streets of Beverly Hills, hungry, scared, and very lost. I didn’t know where my human was or how to find my way home. Then one day, a very kind woman called out to me. Her voice was gentle, and I was frightened and alone… so I ran right to her. Best decision ever! Now I’m being fostered in a loving home where I get fed twice a day (yum!), have a fun canine playmate, and am even learning some training I never had before. I really enjoy walks, playing with my doggy friend, and relaxing knowing I’m safe and cared for. I’m a happy girl who loves humans and gets along great with other dogs. I love the dog park! I’m not much of a barker — honestly, I don’t bark at all. I might whine a little if I want something, and I do an occasional happy howl when I see food coming my way (can you blame me?). I dream of a forever home where I can get lots of love and attention and maybe another canine playmate. I adore hugs, long walks, learning tricks for treats, tummy rubs, playtime, and being close to my people — basically, I just really love love. If you’re looking for a loyal, sweet, joyful companion… I’m your girl. Love,Annie [Annie was born in April 2025 and weighs 60 lbs.] If you'd like to meet Annie, please contact Betty: (818) 489-0532 or bkmakeup@yahoo.com Note: This is a courtesy posting for our fellow rescuer, which means that even though this animal does not belong to our group, we are here to help those who need to find a home for their animals.

Story
✅ Currently in South Korea 💜 Available to fly to LAX Meet Geondam! 🐻 💙 Name: Geondam 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 5 years old (Born in April 2020) 💙 Weight: 10 kg / 22.05 lb 💙 Adogs News Account: @_adogs_ 1️⃣ Health Condition * Neutered. 2️⃣ Rescue Story * Geondam was once on the first euthanasia list at the Gimje City Shelter. When rescuers first saw him, he was shivering in the corner of a cage, terrified of human touch. We couldn't give up on him, so he was rescued just in time to give him a second chance at life. 3️⃣ Basic Information * With People: Is very shy and takes a long time to open up to new people. Needs a patient family who can wait for him to feel safe. * With Dogs: Gets along very well with his friends at our center. * With Cats: Tends to chase them, so caution is required. * Separation Anxiety: Unknown because he currently lives in a group setting at our center. * Potty Training: Unknown, but he currently prefers outdoor potty breaks. * Walks: Showed great walking skills during his time at the training center. * Hygiene: Was very well-behaved during grooming and hygiene care at the training center. * Because he is fearful, he may try to nip if forced into something. A gentle approach is essential. * Absolutely loves treats! * Is still scared of human touch. Needs time to learn that hands are for love, not for fear.
