Make A Difference in your Community - Adopt a Shelter Dog! Would you like to foster a Shelter Survivor? For more information, visit us at www.sheltersurvivors.com Meet this gorgeous girl Kia! Kia is a six year old, female purebred Akita. Kia is being rehomed because her owner's home situation has changed. Kia's owner reached out to us (Shelter Survivors) in hopes that we can help Kia find her perfect forever home. Kia was bred to be a show dog. Prior to her owner adopting her, she finished her championship. The breeder chose not to breed her and so he put her up for sale. Kia is a wonderful, wonderful dog! She’s mellow in the house, great on a leash, extremely friendly with people. While Kia loves people of all sizes, we feel she would do best in a home without young children. She loves to ride in the car. Kia is great at the vet and groomer and has stayed happily at the kennel when her owner has to travel. Kia has been in crowds in Princeton and on country hikes and she’s terrific. Kia has had multiple dog walkers and she’s great with anyone she is introduced to. Kia can be dog selective, but she does have a best dog friend in the neighborhood she plays happily with. So if you have a dog, a meet and greet is a must. Kia does best with non-reactive dogs. She would also be fine as the one and only. Kia is happy hanging around, but she can also be playful & loves balls and squeaky toys. She has a mild prey-drive, which is not a problem on walks or being outside; especially when you have treats to focus her attention on you. This could be a problem if there was a small animal in the house as an additional pet. Like most Akitas she’s quiet and almost never barks. Kia does get stressed at times, so she is on a bland diet to help her digestive tract healthy. She also takes Prozac to help calm her anxiety. She’s healthy, and up to date on all vaccinations. She has had a gastropexy to prevent bloat. She would be a wonderful companion and most of all she just wants your love. Kia is a big girl who weighs about 98 pounds. We do feel that Kia needs an experienced owner. Previous Akita experience is a plus! If you think you would like to make Kia a part of your family, please fill out our Shelter Survivors application online to be considered. Kia is up to date with her vaccinations and housetrained. To adopt Kia, please complete our online dog application at https://www.sheltersurvivors.com/application.html and return it to sheltersurvivors@live.com. Or go to sheltersurvivors.com, click on the home page, look for "Application" at the top of the home page, and complete the application. Hit the submit button once you have completed the application in its entirety. This will expedite the adoption process. Adoption Fee: $400.00

Story
**Current Location: in a local shelter in South Korea** Rescue Story : Say hi to SoHee👋 a friendly lovable girl with cute freckles! SoHee is one of the three siblings rescued from a dog meat farm in South Korea at just 3 months old in April 2019. With their lives luckily saved, the little puppies were brought to a private shelter but suffered from parvovirus at such a young age. SoHee fully recovered after treatment but has never been allowed to live in a loving home so far. Despite her not-so-bright past, she is still one of the most friendly and cheerful dogs in the shelter. We don’t want her to spend her whole life in this shelter without knowing what is like to be loved by her own family in a loving home. This sweetest girl is ready to warm your heart and home! Personality: Sohee is known for being friendly, affectionate, and docile demeanor, especially around people including strangers! She would thrive on love and affection, making her the perfect companion for anyone seeking a loyal and lovely fur buddy. She has a moderate level of energy. Affinity with: - Cats: Not tested - Dogs: Generally good with other dogs, but she does not get along with some. - Adults/Kids: Friendly with adults including men / Good with kids that try to pet her on a walk. Shedding : 5-7 Food Allergies : No. Walking Manner : Very good, walking wonderfully on a leash. Housetrained : Sohee assumably would use the bathroom outdoors only as she currently lives in a shelter. Bathing/Brushing : Good with brushing / Not certain about bathing, but considering her mild nature, she would be fine after some experiences. Bark or Howl : No Car Rides : Generally good despite not having many experiences Likes : Sohee loves hoomans and treats!

Story
Meet Joy🩷 Joy is the sweetest pup! She is gentle and adorable and steals everyone’s heart. * Toward People: Loves everyone regardless of age or gender! Is a charming sweetheart who wags her tail to greet even strangers. Keeps porking her head in to be petted because she loves to be caressed. Is so gentle that she gets startled and immediately takes a hand out that accidentally ends up in her mouth when she is playing. * Toward Dogs: Gets along well with her best friend Mansoo #AdogsMansoo, with whom she shares kennel. Greets other dogs nicely whom she encounters while out for walks. However, because she tends to play a bit rough, it is important to keep an eye on her when she meets other dogs in an off-leash area. * Separation Anxiety: Is unknown since she is staying in group at the Adogs Center. * Potty Training: Uses outdoor potty in the Cener. *Hygiene: Behaves well during baths. * Walks: Is adept at walking side by side with a walker, without pulling on the leash. 💗 * Car sickness: None. 💌Special Note💌 * Mastered commands like "sit" and "shake hands"!

Meet Dooly💜 Three siblings Dooly, Douner, and Ddochi were rescued from Korean city shelter where they lived for 2 months without their mom. Dooly received training at a training center and learned how to live with people. We hope and wish that Dooly will find a loving foster or forever family. ❤️‍🔥 * An adorable yellow boy with a sweet and lovable smile ❤️‍🔥 * Because he is living at Adogs center with a group of dogs, we don’t know if he has separation anxiety or if he is housebroken. 💟 Personality and characteristics * Keyword: Smiley #SmileyAngel #Timid * Energy level (1-10): lv.5~6 * We do not know his parents so we cannot predict how big he will be or how much he will shed. * He has cool yellow coat unlike his siblings Douner and Ddochi. * He was fearful and somewhat lacked social skills, but he is much better now after receiving training!👍🏻 * One slightly folded ear is his charm. ❤️

Story
Diesel has striking features that make him quite a looker. We do our best to capture his splendor in photos, but you'll have to meet him in person to see what we mean! A few things to know about him: he loves treats, going on walks, and spending time with everyone! Members of our Youth Task Force have noted that Diesel particularly loves chasing frisbees when they play with him in our outdoor yards. He knows tricks like ‘sit' and ‘down,' and the Youth Task Force have been working on adding ‘roll over' to his repertoire! While Diesel loves spending time with people, he also plays well with other doggos! So, whether you are an empty nester or have multiple fur babies, he will feel right at home. As you can see, Diesel is quite the catch! Don't wait another moment, come and adopt this precious boy today!

Story
After their NCAA win, are you looking for a Husky of your own? Meet Dakota - a lovable goofball!He loves riding in the car to head out for a long walk, and is great on his leash. Dakota is one smart boy, already solving his puzzle toys and picking up on his obedience commands quickly. He's also learning how to be a house dog from his older foster sister who's taught him the pleasures of a fluffy dog bed and how to drink from the water bowl like a gentleman. He loves some couch time snuggles and affectionately accepts belly rubs from everyone he's met. Dakota is true to his breed and needs someone who is active that can help him get that working dog energy out during the day. To find out more about him, contact his foster at lindsayandchadp@gmail.com !
