Story
💙 Name: Hodol 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 3 months old (born in August 2025) 💙 Weight: 3.2 kg / 7 kg 💙 Adogs Center Updates: @_adogs_ 1⃣ Health Condition * Neuter: Incomplete. * Others: Microchipped, being treated for canine coronavirus and giardiasis. 2⃣ Rescue Story * Hodol was living at the Gimje City Shelter. He was waiting at the shelter with a smile on his face despite the weather getting colder, but no one stepped up to adopt him. The shelter had poor conditions, with infectious diseases spreading and poor heating, so Adogs urgently rescued him. 3⃣ Basic Information ❗️As a puppy, he may need training in areas such as separation anxiety, potty habits, biting, nipping, whining, disorderly behaviors, howling and barking. ❗️It is difficult to predict his shedding and growth size because his parents are unknown. * With People: Is a little shy but is docile and stays in your arms when picked up. Once he becomes familiar with someone, he wags his tail like a helicopter and runs around happily just seeing them come near. * With Dogs: Plays well with the other dogs at our center. * With Cats: Hasn’t met cats yet. * Separation Anxiety: Unknown, since he’s living in a group setting at our center. Will need training from scratch. * Potty Training: Does fairly well with potty pads. May need to be re-trained in a new environment. * Walks: Hasn’t been on walks since his vaccinations aren’t complete. * Car Sickness: Didn’t show signs of car sickness on short-distance rides. * Biting: Has not bitten. However, he may nibble or chew since he’s still a teething puppy. * Barking: Sometimes whines a bit if he seems someone outside his kennel. * Likes: Has a great appetite and loves food. * Dislikes: Although he is docile when picked up, he seems a bit uncomfortable with it since he yawns (a sign that a dog isn’t comfortable).

Story
🚨 URGENT! BOJANGLES NEEDS A HOME NOW — MUST BE THE ONLY PET 🚨 📍 Southern shelter — at risk Meet Bojangles, a stunning Akita/Shepherd-type mix who has been let down by humans but still believes his person is out there. This boy is loyal, smart, and absolutely devoted to the people he trusts. He just needs ONE person to choose him. 💔 ONLY PET NEEDED Bojangles wants all the love to himself. He bonds deeply and does best without other animals in the home. He is NOT aggressive just a one-pet kind of guy. 💙 What makes Bojangles special: • Handsome, unique Akita/Shepherd look • Loyal & people-focused • Smart, alert, and eager to please • Walks well on leash • Medium energy — loves walks and outdoor time • Protective in a good, “I love my person” way 🆘 Why he’s urgent: Shelter life is extremely stressful for him, especially being surrounded by other dogs. He needs out immediately before he shuts down. Bojangles is out of time. 🏡 He needs: • A home with no other pets • Someone experienced with Shepherd/Akita-type breeds • A patient, calm adopter willing to give him a chance • A loving home where he can finally feel safe ❤️ He will be the most loyal companion you’ve ever had. Bojangles isn’t for everyone — but he will be everything to the right person. PLEASE TEXT KAREN 4136298152
