Story
Jax is rescue that we adopted as a 6wk old puppy. He is now almost 7 and is an amazing, loving dog that we are very reluctant to give up. However, we recently welcomed our 1st child to the family and we unfortunately no longer have the time available to give him the amount of attention he deserves. Jax will thrive in a home that has a fenced backyard to play in or with an owner that enjoys long walks. He would be great for a family with grown children that can run around with him. There have been no problems with him and our child, so he would do well with small children as well, but would likely enjoy the company and energy of bigger kids that can play with him. Regardless of your situation, Jax will make an excellent companion for whom ever adopts him! He really just needs someone that will love him and give him all the belly rubs!

** Current Location: in a foster home in South Korea ** • Rescue Story : Meet Beckma👋 a lovable, gentle boy! Beckma's journey started in South Korea, where he was found on the streets at just two months old in November 2021. He and his brother ended up in a high-risk city shelter, but thankfully, they were rescued just in time. While his brother has since found his forever home, Beckma spent his early years in a private shelter with many other dogs. In December 2024, he finally moved into a foster home—and now, he’s patiently waiting for a family of his own! • Personality: Affectionate, Gentle, Calm Beckma is as sweet as they come! He absolutely loves pets and cuddles and has a calm, laid-back nature. Most of the time, he’s happy just relaxing at home, but he does get bursts of playful energy, especially when toys or a ball are involved. He can be a little cautious with new things but warms up quickly. • Affinity with -Cats: Curious when he sees them on walks. -Dogs: Generally good around other dogs, but he prefers smaller and calmer ones. -Adults/Kids: Great with adults! He might need a little extra time to warm up to men. / Okay around kids on walks. • Shedding: 5-7 (1-10 scale) • Food Allergies: None! He doesn’t overeat. • Walking Manners: Very gentle on a leash with no pulling. He used to stop when scared but has become more confident and enjoys exploring. • Housetrained: Fully housebroken - he does all his business outside. • Bath/Brushing: Tolerates baths and enjoys brushing! • Car rides: Experiences mild carsickness but is improving. • Separation Anxiety: None! He's perfectly fine being left alone. • Bark or Howl: Occasionally barks at unfamiliar things at first but quiets down once he gets used to them. • Likes & Dislikes: He loves squeaky toys and walks! / Not a fan of crowded dog areas.

Story
❗Current location: in a foster home in South Korea❗ • Rescue Story: He was rescued from a high-kill shelter along with his brother in Jan 2023. While his lucky brother found his forever home soon after and has been happily living with his family, Saerom was relinquished twice by his first and second families unfortunately. His former families misunderstood his teething as biting and did not like his appearance. He may have been hurt by them, but is growing as a bright pup in his current foster for the past 10 months and has learned socialization to be ready to find his true forever family. We hope he won't get hurt by humans ever again! • 3 keywords: attached to his owner/ active/ smart • Affinity with - Dogs: Generally good around other dogs!

(fine with subway) • Bathing/Teeth Brushing: Good with water itself, but not a fan of a dryer. / Likes doggy toothpaste!

Story
Meet Polly, a spirited pup with a heart as big as her story! Originally from Indonesia, Polly was rescued from a difficult situation and has been thriving in her new life in the USA. This lovable, curious, and independent girl is a joy to be around. She adores her daily walks, romping in the yard, and playing with both toys and other dogs. Puzzle toys, tug-of-war, and porch-watching are some of her favorite activities! Though she’s mellow most of the time, Polly gets occasional bursts of energy (hello, zoomies!) and loves to let loose before settling down for some quiet time. Polly is affectionate with her foster family and loves spending time nearby, whether it’s lounging at the foot of the bed or hanging out on the couch. Polly can be a bit shy around new people and dogs, but once she warms up, she’s full of sweetness and charm. She prefers quieter outings like neighborhood walks and peaceful hikes over bustling crowds or noisy events. Polly has been making amazing progress adjusting to her new life and would flourish with a patient, loving family ready to build her confidence and celebrate her playful, goofy side. If you’re looking for a loyal and fun-loving companion to explore life’s adventures, Polly could be the perfect match for you! My Profile Age and weight: I'm 1 year old and weigh 40 pounds. Good with kids: Unknown Good with dogs: Some dogs Good with cats: Unknown Fenced yard: Yes Suitable for townhouse and/or apartment: No House trained: Yes. Crate trained: Yes Barks when left alone: I’ll bark when you leave, but then I’ll settle down Chews inappropriate items: Occasionally Training: I know sit, and I'm looking forward to training class to learn more!
