My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️
💟Available to fly to LA💟

Meet Rico💝

Rico gave birth to puppies under a wall In January 2021, and was brought to the Gimje Shelter. Rico and her puppies were eventually rescued by Adogs. All of her puppies went to the foster or adopter homes, but Rico used to attack her own hind leg and couldn’t stay in the foster home for long. A long period has passed since she returned to the Adogs Center. She is currently staying at a new foster home.

* Towards People: Initially is wary of people but gets used to them with time. You can get close to her even faster with treats! Loves being hugged by people she likes and makes eye contact, showing affection with head bumps.
*Towards Dogs: Is not the type to approach first. Wags her tail at friends she’s familiar with, but doesn’t approach first or get excited. Gets along with the other dogs, and doesn’t get jealous or compete with other dogs for affection.
* Toward Cats: Does not care about cats.
* Separation Anxiety: Has a habit of biting her own hind leg when she is alone for over four hours. She stops if you call her name.
* Potty Training: Can potty both indoors and outdoors. Doesn’t mark at home. Wags her tail if she potties outside because she prefers it.
* Hygiene: Is good with being brushed. Sometimes, she dislikes being brushed on her legs.
* Walks: Doesn’t like walks yet, so volunteers are letting her go on walks in the direction she wants to go to. If you let go of the leash and walk forward, she comes closer a bit and then sits down.
* Carsickness: None. However, she gets nervous if she can’t see her caretaker.


💌Other Features💌
* Can follow the command of "Sit,” “wait,” and “eat.”
* Gets along with people, dogs, and cats. Feels more calm when she’s with other calm dogs rather than being alone. Would be good as a second dog in a family.
* Is quite fearful but adjusts quickly if she feels like she’s in a safe place.
* She has a tendency to bite her own hind leg, but hasn’t shown any signs of this behavior during the few days she’s been at her foster home.

❗Health Condition❗
* Spaying: Done.
* Microchipped, heartworm negative upon retesting

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

All our dogs fly from South Korea to the US when their adoptions are finalized so the adopters cannot go through "meet and greet."
But once applicants pass zoom interview, we will connect adopter to foster team for the most up to date news as well as photos and videos. The adopter can post any questions and can make video call as well.
Please hold our dog's hands so that they can forget about the painful past and live happily.
"Adopting an abandoned dog will not change the world but this can change the dog's world"

More about this rescue

ADOGS(Adopt Dogs), a non-profit organization, is an abandoned dog foster/adoption organization launched by an individual volunteer group that has rescued, fostered, adopted dogs since 2018.

We are conducting rescue, foster, adopt from South Korea rural shelter. We also rescue dogs irregularly from illegal dog farms or any other places that need help.
We rescue large and small dogs of all breeds, including dogs with special needs.

Although we can't save all abandoned dogs in the world, we are doing our best to the dogs in front of us so that their lives can be changed like any other pets.

In expanding our search for adoption leads, we’ve broadened our mission: To bring at-risk dogs across the Pacific to loving stateside families.

Due to limited demand for large-breed dogs in Korea, arranging for local adoption has proven almost impossible. Instead, we seek to bring these persecuted dogs to the United States where dogs have a higher chance for adoption and survival.
