Meet White🧡 He spent his time at a dog slaughter house in South Korea, watching his friends being killed while fearing his turn comes soon.

With a bit of time, he accepts treats placed on the hand and follows people around! * With Dogs: Is a little indifferent towards other dogs. Is not the type to approach or to show interests in other dogs first. * Potty Training: Uses outdoor potty at Adogs center. * Walks: Likes going for walks. Pulls on the leash when he encounters other animals, so he’s undergoing training for this.

Story
** Current Location: at a private shelter in South Korea ** • Rescue Story : Meet Beckma👋 a friendly lovable boy! Beckma was found on a street in Paju at just 2 months old in Nov 2021 and taken to a high-risk city shelter along with his brother, Woonam. Fortunately rescued right before euthanasia by the rescue team, the two brothers started living with numerous dogs in a private shelter. Sadly, both brothers haven’t had a single opportunity to live in a foster home until now, but Beckma’s sweetness shines through in the shelter. Beckma is ready to meet his loving family and start a new chapter of his life. Could that be with you? • Personality: Affectionate, Energetic, Playful Beckma is such a sweet and lovable boy! He will surely smother you with all the love and kisses that he has! He may seem shy and bark a little when you meet him first, but at any moment you will find him showing affection and wanting your pets. Beckma is a bundle of energy and charm. His playful antics and sweet personality will bring a smile to your face and fill your home with laughter! Although he is generally good with other dogs, he would best thrive in a home as an only child since he sometimes gets in fights with them. • Affinity with -Cats: Not tested -Dogs: Generally good with other dogs, but he is not good with aggressive dogs. -Adults/Kids: Good with adults including men / not tested for kids • Shedding: 5-7 • Food Allergies: No food allergies.

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! He's been behaving at a dog swimming pool or a dog cafe. - Cats: He lived with a kitten once in the current foster home, and he ended up being sweet and taking care of it :) - Kids: When he was a puppy, he lived with two kids (one elementary schooler, one kindergartener) in his previous foster home and liked playing with them. • Housetrained: uses indoor pee-pads placed in a restroom! • Barks/Howls: Only barks at the doorbell sound. • Walking Manners: He tends to pull a little out of excitement at the beginning of a walk but paces with his walker later on. • Energy Level: mid-high since he is still young! • Appetite: He eats anything well! • Car Rides: He has felt slight car sickness for a long time over 20 minutes. (fine with subway) • Bathing/Teeth Brushing: Good with water itself, but not a fan of a dryer. / Likes doggy toothpaste! No problem with teeth brushing every night! • Likes: plush toys and dog chews! • Commands/Tricks: sit, paw, stay, eat (pound twice on the floor), down, and 'V' • Shedding: 2 during non-shedding seasons and 8 during shedding seasons

Story
Meet Hyunmi💕 (It means brown rice in Korean) • Interaction with People: Hyunmi likes people but is still getting used to being handled. Through gentle interaction, he is slowly becoming more comfortable with human touch. • Interaction with Dogs: He approaches larger dogs to sniff and tries to engage with them. Hyunmi plays well with other dogs and understands rejection signals. • Separation Anxiety: Since he lives in a communal setting at the shelter, it’s unclear if he experiences separation anxiety. • Potty Training: He is currently being trained to avoid the outdoors while living at the shelter. 💟 Special Notes💟 • Hyunmi is somewhat timid and may get startled and squeal when startled by rough play.
