✅ Currently in South Korea 💜 Available to fly to JFK & EWR 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.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet Hodol❤️ 💙 Adogs Center Updates: @_adogs_ 1⃣ Health Condition * Neuter: Incomplete. * Others: Microchipped. 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. * Grooming: Although he doesn’t like it, he’s docile while getting his nails trimmed with his belly-side up. * 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).

She needs time to open her heart to humans, along with consistent training. She is currently receiving training at a school. With dogs: She generally gets along well with other dogs without major issues. With cats: She has not been tested with cats yet. Separation anxiety: It is difficult to determine at the moment, as she is living in a group setting at the training school.

When someone approaches, she tends to hide and freeze.

Story
Jane and her 2 brothers (Juno and Johnny) were found dumped in rural Texas right around Christmas time.  Poor little pups.  Luckily one of our rescue partners found them and took them in.  They have been to the vet and are receiving their puppy vaccinations and will be ready to come to the New Jersey area on our February transport.  They are estimated to be about 10 weeks old (as of 12/29/25) and appear to be some type of a husky mix.   Jane is the boss of the group.  She loves to spend her days hogging the lap of their foster mom and then when she feels like it she will jump down to play with and  boss her brothers around.  Jane is the biggest of the crew and weighs 8.8 pounds (as of 12/29/25).  According to her foster mom, she makes cute little noises to let you know she's nearby.  She loves to run and play - sticks are her favorite toy.  When she's done playing she's very happy to cuddle up with her brothers for a nice nap. Are you ready to make Jane's dreams come true and apply to adopt her? Personality: friendly, playful, energetic Good with: people of all ages (including kids), and dogs.  Has not been cat tested yet. Training: unknown at this time Estimated date of birth: mid-October 2025 Weight: 8.8 (as of 12/29/25) Medical: vetted, receiving puppy vaccinations, microchipped Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.  If you have any questions please email: info@ friendsforlifeanimalrescue.org To apply to adopt: https://form.jotform.com/210286667669167 We always need fosters, please join us!  https://form.jotform.com/210257395409155 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. Many other dogs need our help, please consider donating or sponsoring a dog, if possible. 100% of all money received from adoption fees and donations goes directly back to support saving other dogs and cats in need.  FFLAR is a 501c(3) non-profit.   We appreciate your support!

Story
Zazu (female), and her siblings were picked up by a kind woman after their mom was hit by a car.  The puppies were just a few days old so she bottle fed them around the clock, kept them warm and safe and managed to save them.   As of 12/14 they are estimated to be about 4 months old and weigh about 16-18 lbs.   They are believed to be husky mixes (a male husky roams around neighborhood) but their mother was small to medium sized. Zazu is the littlest one of the litter, but don't let that fool you - she's the boss of the group.  She is small but feisty, as well as affectionate and playful.  She is very friendly and loving and gets along well with other dogs and children.   Zazu has received all 3 rounds of her puppy vaccinations and is now able to hop on our next transport to the NJ area and come home to a forever home. Personality: friendly, playful, feisty, affectionate, energetic Good with: people of all ages (including kids), dogs, and cats Training: unknown at this time Estimated date of birth: late August 2025 Estimated size when full grown: medium; maybe around 40 pounds Medical: vetted, vaccinated, microchipped Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.
