Story
Hi… I’m Duri 🤍 Before I met kind people, I spent a long time on my own… without care, without warmth. I just endured each day the best I could. But things have changed now. I’ve been given a chance to start over— and I’m waiting for a family to share that new beginning with. Maybe… that could be you. People say I look strong and handsome. My thick fur, my clear eyes… sometimes I remind them of a brown husky. But what I really want you to see isn’t just how I look— It’s who I am. I like people. I really do. I’ll come up to you first, gently, hoping to connect. I enjoy being close, sharing quiet moments, feeling like I belong. I also get along well with other dogs. Being around friends feels natural to me, and I’m comfortable sharing space and energy with them. Inside me, I carry something special— the calm loyalty of an Akita, and the intelligence and quick learning of a Jindo. That means when I bond with you… it won’t be shallow. It will be deep. Steady. Unbreakable. But I’m still learning. Living in a home is new to me. Things like potty training, daily routines, and how to behave indoors—these are things you’ll need to teach me, step by step. Because I’m a strong and active dog, I’ll also need guidance on walks and basic manners. I want to do well—I just need someone to show me how. In the beginning, I might seem a little unsure. A new place, a new life… it can feel overwhelming. But if you stay patient, consistent, and kind with me, I will find my balance. I’m not a difficult dog— but I am a dog who needs understanding. Someone who won’t just “have” me, but will truly live with me. Teach me. Connect with me. If you can do that… I promise you something rare. A bond built on trust. A loyalty that doesn’t fade. A companion who stands by you, no matter what. I’ve already come so far from where I started. Now I just need a place to finally belong. No more loneliness. Just warmth… and you. Will you be my forever family? 🤍

Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Azuki is originally from Iowa. He is still a baby by Akita standards (1.5 years), but is also already very intelligent. He knows sit, lay down, roll over, shake, stand ("up" command) and touch (licks your hand), and is working on heel and come. Azuki loves the outdoors, so he would do well with an active owner. He does have a lot of energy, so training classes, outdoor adventures, and/or enrichment games would really make him happy. He LOVES to cuddle, so he needs an owner who will hug him frequently and let him sleep near them. He does talk back sometimes, but is overall a Good Boy and would thrive in an active, affectionate environment. He's silly (he likes to loaf like a cat), opinionated, smart, and loving. Since he is independent, he would do best with an experienced owner, especially one who knows about confident breeds. He might also benefit from having a friend if you already have a dog.

Click the button to download the adoption application. The application is a form-fillable pdf. Fill out the form, save it to your hard drive, then email back to sian@gingerspetrescue.org Hi!  My name is Xavier from Korea and I am a wonderful approximately 5 month old  male Akita - Jindo mix.  I weigh approximately 14 lbs. and so excited to find my new forever home.  I am very happy, affectionate, smart, and friendly.  I was saved from the Korean kill shelter where I was due to be euthanized. The activists came and saved me and I can't wait to come to America and find a family to love and care for me forever.  Approximately over a million dogs a year are slaughtered to be eaten.  I am so lucky to get a one-way ticket to Seattle to find my new family.  Take me on car rides, walks in the park, and I will become your best friend.  I get along well with people of all ages, gentle kids, and other dogs.  I will do best with a loving family that can give me lots of love, and affection!  On all overseas adoption, we highly recommend our pet rescue dog trainer who will help train your new pup.  My adoption fee of $1,295 will cover my spay/neuter, DA2PP shots, Rabies, Bordetella, Deworm, Heart Worm Test, Microchip, Boarding Fees, Health Certificate and airline transport cost from Korea to Seattle.   A GPS tracker or Apple Air Tag is required for all adopted dogs. You can bring your own when adopting or you can purchase an Air Tag from us   We cannot guarantee breed or age. The adoption fee is firm and helps save the life of another dog needing rescue and our other dogs in need of medical care.  Donations are always appreciated to help pay down our vet bills at Greenwood Vet.  Ginger's Pet Rescue is a non-profit 501C-3 organization.  The adoption fee is donated to the rescue and is tax deductible.   Please e-mail   admin@gingerspetrescue.org   for an adoption application.

ROCKYADOPTABLE🎀My basic info🎀Name: RockyAge:  2 Years oldSex:  MaleBreed: Husky-Jindo mix Weight: 15kg(33LB)        👶🏻 Kids: can test if needed         🐶 Dog:  Good with dog        🐱 Cat: can test if needed         ✔  Spayed /  Vaccinated / Microchipped🎈My Story🎈My name is Rocky, and I’m a 2-year-old Husky–Jindo mix boy, weighing around 15kg (33 lbs). I was rescued just before facing euthanasia at a shelter, and now I’m living at a training center, waiting for someone special to take me home.People say I have a unique and striking look—a mix of Husky charm and Jindo spirit—and a personality to match! Since I spent much of my puppyhood in a shelter, I’ve still got a playful, curious side and a whole lot of energy. I love walks and adventures, and I get really excited to explore new places.I’m super friendly! I get along well with other dogs and don’t shy away from strangers—I warm up fast and love making new friends. Sometimes I might get a little jealous if I see other dogs getting too much attention, but it’s just my way of saying, “Hey, don’t forget about me!” 💕I’m already doing great with both indoor and outdoor potty habits, and with a consistent schedule, I’ll quickly adapt to your routine. Since I’m still in my teenage phase, I’ve got a lot of energy to burn—if I don’t get enough playtime or walks, I might get a bit mischievous at home (chewing, nibbling, you know the drill). So I’d be happiest with a family who enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors.More than anything, I just want to be loved. I’ve got a bright, affectionate personality and so much potential to become your loyal, well-mannered best friend—if you’re willing to share your heart and time with me.So, what do you say? Could we be the perfect match? I’ll be here, tail wagging and ready for our next adventure together. 🐺✨With love,Rocky

Hi, I’m Rian 💛I’m a 5-year-old boy, a Malamute–Husky mix, and I weigh about 23kg.I know… I look big and strong, maybe even a little cool.But if you get to know me, you’ll see—I’m actually just a big softie.I really, really love people.Even if we’ve just met, I might come right up to you like,“Hi… can we be friends?”I love being close to my person.Spending time together, making eye contact, sharing quiet moments…that’s what makes me feel safe and happy.Once I open my heart, I become very affectionate.I’ll want to stay near you, lean into you, and just be by your side as much as I can.I get along well with other dogs too!I have a gentle nature and enjoy playing, whether it’s with toys or with friends.I’m a bright, cheerful boy who just enjoys life and companionship.I was rescued from a place where my time was almost over…but I didn’t lose my trust in people.I still believe in love, and I’m still reaching out for it.I’m also a pretty quick learner!If you teach me with patience and consistency, I’ll do my best to understand and follow along.Because of my Malamute and Husky side, I do have lots of energy.I’ll need regular walks, exercise, and time to really let that energy out.A quick walk won’t always be enough—I’d love a family who enjoys being active with me.I can also have a little independent streak (maybe just a tiny bit stubborn sometimes… 😊),so I’ll need someone who can guide me with calm, steady leadership.Living in a home might be new for me,so I’ll need to learn things like house routines and potty habits from the beginning.But if you’re patient with me, I know I can become an amazing companion.I’m already ready to love someone with my whole heart.All I need now…is someone who will accept me, guide me,and stay with me for life.Will you be my person? 💛

Story
🏠Currently  in a Toronto  foster home Elsa is a 2-year-old female Wolfdog, weighing 23kg. She was rescued just in time from a shelter where she was at risk of euthanasia. Now, she’s looking for a loving family who will give her the life she deserves. Elsa is full of energy, curiosity, and love, making every day an adventure!Personality & BehaviorElsa is a bright and affectionate girl who absolutely adores people. She expresses her excitement with joyful jumps when greeting her favorite humans. While this is endearing, she already understands the "sit" command, so with consistent training, she can learn to greet politely. Elsa thrives on human interaction and will form a deep bond with her owner through love, training, and patience.She is still learning how to socialize with other dogs properly. While she is not aggressive, she needs time and guidance to build confidence in dog interactions. Currently, she is undergoing training to help her navigate social situations with other pups. With continued support, she will improve and learn to play in a balanced way.Activity & Training NeedsAs a Wolfdog, Elsa is naturally athletic and has impressive jumping ability. She needs an active lifestyle with plenty of exercise to stay happy and well-behaved. A daily routine of long walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime will help her burn off energy and settle calmly at home.She is currently in training, where she follows a structured routine that includes three outdoor exercise sessions a day for potty breaks and play. If her new family maintains a similar schedule, Elsa will quickly adjust to her new home.Elsa is an intelligent dog who picks up training quickly. She already knows "sit" and is learning to wait calmly for treats. With consistent training, she has the potential to learn many more commands and become a well-mannered companion.The Perfect Home for ElsaElsa will thrive in a home with:✔️ An active family who enjoys outdoor activities✔️ Someone committed to training and bonding with her✔️ Experience with large dogs (or a willingness to learn)Elsa is young and still learning, but she is full of potential. With love, patience, and the right training, she will grow into a loyal and devoted companion. If you’re looking for a smart, energetic, and affectionate dog to share adventures with, Elsa is waiting for you!
