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
** 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!

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
Lucas was purchased as a newborn in 2012. He is pure bred and has won a couple of awards in dog competitions. We enjoyed Lucas (Luke) for 14 years and now he is 95% blind. My children are all moved out and with just my wife and I here, Lucas no longer gets the attention he deserves. He seems sad because we travel and must have a dog sitter stay at the home while we travel because we dont feel comfortable sending him to a kennel. He used to go to kennel all the time when we travel, but no that he is blind we feel it is not a good place. Nonetheless, he must stay here at home. I walk him every day and when I travel the sitter walks him. You must have routine with him, and that I can no longer promise. His days are filled sleeping, but he loves being cuddled. However, I do not have time to give any more. That is the reason we are looking for someone to adopt him who has the time to care for him. He is very low maintenance, does not bark, and pretty much acts like a cat..

**Located in Korea** Meet Goldilocks! Just like the famous fairy tale character, Goldilocks is a friendly and adventurous pup with a heart of gold. This sweet and playful doggy loves spending time with people and enjoys the company of her doggy friends too. She has a bit of a cheeky side when she's out and about with other dogs, but when she's at home, she behaves with utmost gentleness. Goldilocks is not just friendly, but she's also engaging, making every moment spent with her truly enjoyable. She's always up for fun and loves exploring her surroundings, just like the curious Goldilocks who ventured into the three bears' home. While Goldilocks is quite the social butterfly with other dogs, she would prefer to be the only dog in her forever home. This way, she can bask in all the love and attention she deserves, just like Goldilocks found herself surrounded by the comforts of the three bears' home.
