Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Yuri
Breed: Maltese
Gender: Male
Age: 7 months
Weight: 7.7 lbs.
Fur: Soft white coat of curls that are non-shedding.
Activity level: Medium to high
Yuri is an awesome dog. He is the whole package…….sweet, happy, funny, loving and always sporting a smile on his face. He is very smart, anxious to please and is very treat motivated. He loves stuffies, always has one near him and plays with them all day. He carries one outside and will go back for it if reminded that he forgot it outside. He has made great progress in house training. Yuri loves being outside and needs a secure, fenced yard. He enjoys walks but needs work on leash manners. Yuri gets along well with other dogs but would do best without a cat in the house as he has a hard time remembering not to chase the resident cat.
Yuri was rescued from a high-volume/high-kill shelter where he was brought in stray. He is very healthy and ready for his new forever loving home today!
Yuri is neutered, up to date on vaccinations.Dewormed, Defleaed and professionally groomed. He is currently under foster care in group setting in Korea. We plan on bringing them to Northern Virginia in late April upon finding a forever family for them.
Adoption fee: $475
Prior to rescue, many of our dogs have experienced minimal socialization and it takes time for them to learn about life as a family pet. Common skills such as house training and leash walking may often take a little extra time. Patience, understanding and a gentle hand are a must. The great news is, most of these dogs come around rather quickly and being a part of their rehabilitation is an extremely rewarding experience.
We typically do not adopt to homes with children under 8 years old.
A home check is mandatory before adoption.
We adopt to residents of Northern VA and Washington DC suburbs only.
If interested in Yuri, please email us with a little info about you, your family, your other pets, your experience as a dog owner (which breed, etc.), where you live (which city, home or apt?), etc. including telephone number. Thank you.
*** About us ***
Hope For Donghae Paws(HDP) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to bringing rescue dogs from Korea to the US and finding permanent homes for them. It is true there are many animal lovers in Korea, but still many dogs suffer and are killed for food.
Our mission is to find US homes for mixed-breed dogs whose chances of being adopted in their native Korea are very low.
