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? 🤍

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.

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.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to SEA💟 💙 Name: Cheonsong 💙 Gender: Female 💙 Age: Approx. 3 years old (Born Jan 2023) 💙 Weight: 11.8 kg (approx. 26 lbs) 💙 Adogs News Account: @_adogs_ ​1. Health Status * ​Spayed: Yes * ​Other: Microchipped, fully treated from heartworm (Re-test scheduled for Mar 2027) ​2. Rescue Story * ​Cheonsong was found abandoned in a vinyl greenhouse in Songcheon-dong, Jeonju. Trapped in stifling heat reaching 48°C (118°F) with only food waste and mossy water to consume, she still weakly wagged her tail to greet rescuers. Adogs stepped in to save Cheonsong so she could leave her lonely past behind and find a loving home in a safe environment. ​3. Personality & Traits * ​With People: Very shy and fearful, often trying to avoid people. Freezes up and stays on guard when approached. * ​With Dogs: Gets along okay with doggy friends at the center, though she doesn't actively mingle. * ​With Cats: Has not met cats yet. * ​Separation Anxiety: Shows no separation anxiety since she isn't overly dependent on humans. This may change in a new environment, though. * ​Potty Training: Uses outdoor potty at the center, but will go indoors if urgent. May need retraining in a new home. * ​Grooming: Unaccustomed to human touch, she freezes while being brushed. No major biting, though she has occasionally nipped softly when overwhelmed. * ​Leash Walks: Has no walking experience yet. * ​Car Rides: Shows no signs of motion sickness. * ​Nipping/Biting: May show defensive nipping if startled by sudden movements or being grabbed abruptly. * ​Barking: Barks occasionally around mealtimes to ask for food faster. * ​Overall Temperament: Extremely timid and fearful. Is cautious and wary around people, so building trust will take time—however, she doesn't seem to inherently dislike human touch.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to U.S. and Canada💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet Jinsu 💙 Adogs News Account: @_adogs_ 1. Health Condition * Neutered. * Microchipped, heartworm negative, and dental scaling done. 2. Rescue Story * Jinsu had been living on a short leash at the Wanju City Shelter for more than two years. As the shelter had already been full of abandoned dogs, Jinsu was put on the euthanasia list. Once learning that his euthanasia was imminent, Adogs rushed to rescue him. 3. Basic Information * With People: Is really sociable without being aggressive nor shy towards people. Is so friendly with people that he loves being touched by them. May feel uncomfortable if someone suddenly grabs the back of his neck, though. * With Other Dogs: At first, struggled to get along with other dogs, but through consistent training, is now able to live with them. May growl when meeting new dogs for the first time, but with slow introductions using treats, he learns to feel relaxed around them over time. However, he prefers his alone time and can feel uncomfortable—sometimes growling or snapping—if large dogs of similar size approach him too assertively. Also loves playing with balls and can be protective of her toy around other dogs. * With Cats: When seeing a cat during walks, he tries to run towards it. Caution is required. * Separation Anxiety: Not confirmed yet because he lives in a group setting at our center. Will need basic training in a home environment. * Potty Training: Does pottying outdoors at our center. Will need basic training in a home environment. * Hygiene: Shows little resistance to grooming by familiar handlers. Stays calm during baths and brushing. * Walks: Is good at walking. Can respond to his name to some extent during walks. When seeing a cat during walks, he pulls on the leash to get closer to them, but it’s at a manageable level. Having completed muzzle training, it is recommended that he wear a muzzle during walks to manage his reactions toward other dogs. * Car Sickness: Rides well in a car without car sickness. * Biting: In the early days of training, he would get mouthy when it hurt or felt uncomfortable while removing matted fur. But recently, there hasn't been any mouthiness at all. Once he becomes familiar with someone, he accepts even uncomfortable touching calmly from them. If similarly-sized dogs approach first and repeatedly bother him, he growls and tries to bite, so caution is needed. * Barking: Has never barked or whined. However, training may still be needed when she moves into a new home environment. * Overall Temperament: Is a bright, energetic, and affectionate sweetheart! Rather than playing with other dogs, he prefers running and walking with his human, and he loves ball games, treats, and affection. Even when resting in a corner around other dogs, he will happily run over as soon as she spots a person. Since he does not enjoy other dogs approaching him assertively, he would do best as the only dog in a home. Used to be easily startled by loud noises or sudden movements, but after desensitization training, he has improved significantly!
