My personality

My story

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

Meet Gooreum ☁️
She was rescued from a garbage dump in South Korea. Next to her, her friends had starved to death and were rotting. Adogs quickly rescued her, as it was not a safe place for her to remain.

* With People: Approaches strangers cautiously by sniffing them, but she is very affectionate with familiar people, jumping to greet them, and even licking them.
* With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs and has no issues interacting with them.

* Potty Training: Not confirmed, though she goes potty outside at our center.
* Hygiene: Tolerates nail trimming when held in a hugging position.
* Walks: Loves going for walks! Tends to pull a little on the leash and is steadily undergoing training.

**Health Condition: Finished treatment for heartworm infection.(A heartworm reexamination's needed on April 2025.)

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.
