Story
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. * 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 *Dooli is a pup who has a goofy smile that looks extremely cute!😁 In contrast to his siblings Donner and Ddochi, he is a charming yellow pup with his beautiful yellow coat! *He was a timid pup who lacked some social skills and after he was trained at training class, he improved and is doing better!👍🏻 *Dooli actively runs around and is very energetic! To meet his energy and active nature, it would be ideal if he could be adopted to a family where they can consistently walk him every day!

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.

Story
Jason Momoa is a looker, just like his name sake- and thankfully, he's just a great a dog as he is good looking! He is slightly smaller than your typical American Akita but he's got that Akita mindset. This means he can be a little reserved when meeting new people, but as he's young and smart, he's learned quickly that people bring the fun (and food)- so he makes friends quickly now. He also loves to play and along with training, these are the keys to his heart! He already knows quite a few commands and walks well on a leash- but also loves to run and play in the yard. He plays his own version of fetch which mostly involves running around with the ball- not so much bringing it back- but he loves this game! Typical for his breed, he can be slightly protective and this is why we require someone with previous "power breed" or Akita experience. Akitas are typically not first time dogs and they need boundaries and structure that most first time owners do not understand (which is exactly why he is with us). Jason is crate trained and housebroken. He would do best in a home with no children. Jason is UTD on vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. ADOPTION DONATION: $600.00. Your adoption donation goes toward the cost of this vet care as well as transportation and general care costs. All dogs adopted from Motley Zoo come with a leash and Martingale collar. Each dog also receives a "Tour Gear Bag" full of brochures, coupons, and supplies for your new pup! Please visit our website www.motleyzoorescue.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED: Introducing Nikko! He is an awesome 2-year-old, 75lb Akita/Golden Retriever mix who came to us from an overcrowded shelter in CA. He is an amazing dog that is going to make a great adventure companion and addition to any lucky household that adopts him. Nikko gets along well with others, has done great with other dogs in our care, and is always in a great mood. He walks very well on a leash and does not pull much. He is a very well-balanced dog of being calm yet also able to be active when you need him to be. He is mellow for the most part, except when he sees grass in which he loves to go crazy and roll around in it! He is very sweet, loving, and will make a loyal companion. Nikko would make a great additional dog in a home, or he would be fine as an only dog with continued socialization. He also does great getting groomed and his nails trimmed, as he is a very patient and trusting dog with his handler. And who couldn’t love that big fluffy bear head and those adorable ears?! Nikko is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $450.
