Story
Meet CeeCee!   A little about CeeCee: -sweet, easy-going lovebug who thrives on affection, encouragement, and being told they're doing a great job (because they are) -certified sniff connoisseur who treats walks like a sightseeing tour; slow, thoughtful, and very nose-led -treats and kind words are the fastest way to their heart. Praise? Yes. Snacks? Also yes   CeeCee would best enjoy a home that: -lets them be the main character and soak up all the attention without needing to share their things -includes daily walks, cozy routines, and plenty of time to explore the world at their own pace -believes in positive vibes only; gentle guidance, reassurance, and lots of "good job" energy     CeeCee may do best as the only dog while she's still comfortable meeting dogs outside of the home #nodogs Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 93.4 Age: 2yrs 0mths 2wks

Story
✅ Currently in South Korea 💜 Available to fly to SEA 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.

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to Seattle💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet Hodol❤️ 💙 Hodol's News Account: @hodol_imbo 1⃣ Health Condition * Neutered. * 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. Looks comfortable, often resting by your side or grabbing a toy and making himself at home. Gets a bit jealous when you pet other dogs, so he nudge his way in for some affection. * With Dogs: Is never defensive with new friends and always ready to play. * With Cats: Hasn’t met them yet. * Separation Anxiety: Stays relaxed and sleeps in his spot even when alone without separation anxiety. Is perfectly fine staying with strangers, playing and spending time with them without any issues. * Potty Training: Has a 100% success rate on pee pads. For stools, he hits the target 50% of the time and the other 50% are usually just off the edge of the pad. * Hygiene: Accepts brushing well without resistance. Finds drying a bit uncomfortable, but he handles it well without any trouble. 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 even during long trips lasting more than 3 hours. * Since he’s still a teething puppy, he has a habit of nipping at hands or feet, which is easily managed with wood, sticks, chews and tug play. * Whines or barks for attention during guardian’s mealtime but he settles down quickly if s/he ignores it. * Has a great appetite and loves food. * Gets scared if picked up suddenly, but he’s fine if you support his hindquarters while lifting. Since he hasn’t had much experience going for walks yet, he gets quite nervous when outside. * Is great at 'sit,' and 'wait.'

Story
Meet Rowan! 🐾 (currently in foster care) Rowan is a 2-year-old, 65 lb Akita with a heart as big as his paws. This sweet boy just wants to be close to his people—snuggled up at your side, soaking in all the love he can get. He’s perfectly content relaxing in the yard and doesn’t require a lot of activity to stay happy, though he does enjoy adventure walks, squeaky toys, belly rubs, and anything food-related! Rowan is eager to please and easy to train, making him a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates his loyal and affectionate nature. Like most Akitas, he’s a natural guardian—deeply devoted and protective once he bonds with his people. Because of this, Rowan would do best in a home without small children, as young kids seem to make him nervous and he has barked at some while out walking. Rowan has done well with other dogs in our care, and for the most part is fairly aloof and prefers his people. He would be fine as an only dog, or well suited with another calm dog in the home, ideally female. Rowan has a prey drive and will need a home without cats. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who offers both love and protection, Rowan is truly one of a kind. ❤️ Rowan is UTD on shots, microchipped and neutered. His adoption fee is $500.

Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! NOT!! I am a snuggle bug looking for tummy scratches....I willl MELT for one!! Here is what one of our amazing fosters have to say about Dakota...."Super freaking sweet, loves loves belly rubs, is very strong when you walk him but listens well. VERY treat motivated and knows sit down paw and i just taught him roll over yesterday but its a work in progress 😝. Super playful, he will pounce around you and then roll over for belly rubs and absolutely melts for the belly rubs and kisses" I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
