Story
Meet Gentle Ben, aka Fuzzy Wuzzy Was a Bear, a Golden boy who is currently living his best life with his foster mom. If it weren’t for circumstances beyond her control, she’d adopt him in a heartbeat. Every walk with Ben elicits passersbys stopping to admire his magnificence. And, so far, with his amazing coat, he is not a shedder, believe it or not! He’s really such a sweet and beautiful boy who is getting happier, more loving, trusting and well-adjusted every day. He’s gone from being overly protective of his toys to flaunting them, prancing around with them and putting them in your lap. He LOVES going on walks and gets even more excited to ride in the car. He enjoys the dog park, chasing balls and frisbees to his heart’s content. He has no issues with other dogs and generally stays out of tangles that occasionally occur at dog parks! He is still on his weight loss journey, having already trimmed down by around 16 lbs since his China days. It's coming off slowly, but it could be because he’s just a bit big-boned. This boy is gem and deserves the best! ##1810947##

Story
About Me Hi, I’m Makai. I'm 2 years old, and I came to SCGRR last year after a good samaritan helped me get off the streets. I’d been living with a person who struggled with addiction and had to learn to fend for myself. Since coming to SCGRR I’ve learned how wonderful it is to be in a home with people, plenty of food and a warm bed. I’ve been through a lot, and I’m still learning how to be the best dog I can be. People tell me I’m a big boy weighing in at 90 pounds. My people are working to give me training, but sometimes I forget how big I can be. For this reason, I probably shouldn’t be in a house with young kids. As I had to fight a bit on the streets, I’m not really fond of other dogs and really want to be your one and only. In return, I will give tons of love and laughs, and probably even a bit of protection. I love to be near my humans; it’s my favorite thing in the world. I like to greet new people, and I’m getting used to how nice it feels when they’re gentle with me. I’m really good in the car, and I’m learning to walk on a leash in the yard. At this point my trainer is recommending that I not going on walks out of the yard as I’m not very good at meeting other dogs. I like to play with bouncy balls. I also sniff around the counters, but my humans have made sure I can’t find any tasty surprises there. I really just want a quiet house to rest in and a yard of my own to play in. My Ideal Home I’m a big guy, so I need a yard where I can run around and play. I would do best in a home without children, just because I’m still learning how to be gentle with my size and I’d never want to accidentally hurt anyone. I want to be your only one so please no other dogs, cats or animals. If you have the patience to help me learn and grow, I promise to give you all the love and loyalty I have. I would really benefit from continued training. I just want to spend my life with my forever human. Will you be that person? Want to Adopt me? If you believe your home is the perfect match for me, please make sure you have first submitted an adoption application (https://scgrrescue.org/adoption-app/) and completed your home interview with a SCGRRescue Volunteer. Then, tell my personal representative (aka Rep), more about why we are a great match via email at scgrr.adopt@gmail.com Please note: We are only able to cover and adopt out to residents of Southern California.

Story
Rusty is about 2 years old, 15kg, Neutered male, English Setter mix! Rusty just has been rescued from a high-risk shelter where he was on the euthanasia list. He was brought in after being reported by a local resident. When found, he was wearing a yellow collar, suggesting he may have been kept tied up in a yard or at a factory rather than living inside a home. Rusty is very affectionate—not only with familiar people but also with strangers. He happily approaches people, enjoys physical contact, and is easy to handle. He is comfortable with both women and men. Although he hasn’t interacted with children under 13, he shows no fear or wariness toward people, so he’s likely to get along well with younger kids too. He allows people to lift him by placing their arms under his belly and, once he’s comfortable, even shows his belly. He’s curious about other dogs, but it seems he hasn’t had much experience playing with them. When other dogs approach him to play, he initially seems unsure and simply wags his tail, but after some time, he begins to run around and join in. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes—larger, similar-sized, and smaller—and tends to avoid overly energetic dogs. Even when other dogs are reactive or challenging, he remains calm and non-confrontational. He hasn’t been tested with cats yet, but that can be arranged if needed. Rusty has a moderate energy level. He enjoys outdoor activities but knows how to settle down and rest quietly afterward. He has no fear of the leash, but it seems he hasn’t had much leash-walking experience. He tends to stop and sniff often and pulls a bit toward where he wants to go. That said, he generally follows people well and is not reactive to noise. Rusty does not guard food from people or other dogs. He does not show signs of separation anxiety and is quiet and calm in a kennel. He rarely barks. As he was only recently rescued, he does not yet respond to his name and has not learned basic cues like “sit” or making eye contact. However, he’s a sweet, people-loving dog with a gentle nature, and we hope he finds a guardian who can show him a better world and help him grow. You can also see his post on our Facebook(Link to Post) or Instagram(Link to Post) Youngi is an affectionate, lively, and well-mannered pup who’s been waiting far too long for her chance. She’s ready to bring joy, playfulness, and love into a forever home of her own. Send in your application today through our website https://adoptmekoreanrescue.org/adoption-application/ AKR dogsHe can arrive at Vancouver or Toronto airport and may be able to arrive at some US airports (Seattle, LA, NY, Boston etc) where we have flight volunteers.

Story
Sophie is a very sweet 4-year-old Golden Retriever. She was previously a breeder dog, and is now looking for a life of love, comfort and ease. Sophie would like a home where someone is around most of the time. She is fine with other dogs (although not particularly playful with them so far) and she can be a bit shy with people and dogs when she first meets them. She loves her walks, so a moderately active family is a must. Sophie does require daily eye drops and periodic eye check-ups, and would like some help losing a little bit of weight. She’s ready to find her forever home where she can get lots of love, cuddles and walks.

Irish Setter fun facts

Fun Facts:

Presidents Truman, Nixon, and Reagan all owned Irish Setters.

In Great Britain, hunting dogs were bred to sit quietly when they smelled game (as opposed to "pointers" that were popular elsewhere in Europe). Irish Setters were trained to sit and wait for their master(s), therefore they became known as "setters."

Irish Setters weren't always all red. In the beginning, their hunter masters thought they'd be easier to spot with white and red coloring, but as they began to be used more for show and less for hunting, their solid red coloring took precedent.
