Story
Lizzie is a special sweet shy girl looking for a home where she will feel safe and secure!This 3 year old boxer mix spent several months running loose near a dangerously busy road, wandering between businesses but too scared to approach anyone. Our friends at Buddha Dog Rescue and Recovery were able to trap her and she immediately melted and clung to her rescuer for security once she knew she was safe. She's very timid and army crawls up to new people tentatively especially men, and may bark and try to act tough at first. But once she bonds she turns into a happy silly goofy playful boxer. She can be vocal seeing dogs on walks, but lived with another smaller dog and has made LOTS of doggie friends of all sizes at the shelter with proper introductions. She is easily spooked and may try to bolt when startled or in new situations, definitely a flight risk so making sure she's securely leashed at all times is especially important. Lizzie is 63lbs full grown, spayed, updated on shots, and ready to start a new life. Please submit an application to meet Lizzie by appointment. She may take a few visits to warm up and get comfortable with you, but once she bonds you will have a loyal cuddly best friend for life. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Age: 4yrs 1mths 2wks

Story
Big head. Bigger heart. 🥹❤️ Beefy Smalls was surrendered at no fault of his own, and we seriously cannot understand how this sweet boy ended up here. He is the absolute sweetest guy who loves everyone he meets! He’s even made some dog friends here and has done well with other dogs. 🐶💕 Beefy is about 2–3 years old, neutered, and up to date on all his vaccines. He’ll need the usual basic training, but this boy is SMART and so eager to learn. And the best part? It doesn’t take much to wear him out! 😂 After some playtime and fun, we can totally see Beefy becoming the ultimate couch potato, snuggled up next to his person. He’s got the giant head, the squishy face, the goofy personality, and a heart that is somehow even bigger. 🥹 He didn’t ask to be surrendered, but he’s ready for someone to give him the fresh start he deserves. Could Beefy Smalls be your new best friend? ❤️

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. 💙 Adogs Center Updates: @_adogs_ 1. Health Condition * Neutered. * Microchipped and heartworm negative. * Has been diagnosed with patellar luxation in both knees (Grade 2 on the left, Grade 3 on the right). Because of symptoms like lifting the leg while walking, he is currently taking medication. If the symptoms worsen, surgery may be required. 2. Rescue Story * Tom was rescued as a puppy with his four siblings from a dog slaughterhouse in Jeongeup and stayed at the Jeongeup Shelter. A year later, Tom and his siblings were placed on the euthanasia list, but they were rescued by Adogs just in time. 3. Basic Information * With People: Tends to approach even strangers but still feels a bit shy with human touch. Runs away if you try to touch him. Once he's comfortable, he’ll approach you from behind to sniff and stay by your side. Recognizes familiar faces even from a distance and will run up to greet them if he seems them outside the fence in the playground. Tolerates being picked up, but tends to stiffen up or squirm rather than relax in your arms. Is relatively calm when putting on a leash if done inside his kennel. * With Dogs: Gets along well and plays only with familiar dogs. Is wary of new dogs, barking at them. Can be nippy around dogs he doesn't know, so caution is needed. * With Cats: Barks if he sees cats outside the fence. May chase or threaten them, so careful attention is needed. * Separation Anxiety: Not confirmed as he currently resides with other dogs at our center. * Potty Training: Currently does pottying indoors and outdoor at our center. Shows marking behavior outside. * Hygiene: Takes a bath nicely and accepts brushing well. Needs desensitization training for nail trimming since he gets agitated and squirms a lot. * Walks: Has been trained at a dog training school, so he is generally a well-behaved walker! May be startled by sudden noise during walks, so care should be taken. Pulls a little on the leash and he’s undergoing training for this. * Car Sickness: Doesn't get car sick and rides in a car well. * Biting: Might bite unfamiliar dogs, so please be careful. * Barking: Used to bark at strangers when they visited, but now he rarely barks at them. Barks at unfamiliar dogs. * Likes: Loves treats and food. You can get closer to him through treats. Enjoys playing with balls. * Dislikes: Gets startled and struggles if you put a harness on him or grab him suddenly. Is also very sensitive about his paws and is uncomfortable during nail trims. * Personality: Is very shy. Although he’s curious about people, he’s not used to them and retreats if you approach him. However, becomes courageous and approaches shyly when treats are involved. Feels more comfortable around other dogs than people and plays very actively and well when hanging out with furry friends.

MEET JAXSON! Poor Jaxson is a new guy here who was an owner surrender! Jaxson was very heartbroken as he watched his owner walk out the door and leave him behind. This handsome little boy is very stressed out in the shelter and would need time to decompress in his new home. We believe he is around 1-2 years old, 35-40 pounds, and we would recommend an adult only home. Jaxson can use some proper training as he has shown difficulty with the leash.

French Bulldog Bulldog

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Penny! This adorable tiny bully girl has the shortest legs and widest shoulders, loves everyone she meets and is a super friendly happy girl, cuddly with bursts of excited playful energy. She came from a situation where she wasn't getting proper care and spent most of her time in a small crate. She is about 2 years old and 33lbs full grown. Her adorable short snorty face and squatty frog-like shape means adopters will have to make sure she maintains a healthy weight to help minimize future arthritis and worsening breathing issues, and more indoor playtime in the air conditioning during hot weather. She is still working on housebreaking and will likely need some patience with that and does better with a fenced yard to go out into vs realizing she's supposed to go to the bathroom on leash walks. She is a lot of fun and loves to play with toys and zoom around the play yards but does tire easily especially in the heat. She does like to play with some male dogs but can be a bit bossy and territorial so would be best as an only pet or possibly with the right bigger submissive male in an experienced home. If you love a snorty mushy faced little bulldog and have a nice cool air-conditioned home for her to enjoy this summer, please submit an application to meet her Primary Color: Chocolate Weight: 33 Age: 2yrs 4mths 3wks
