Story
** 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
Miles is a rescue, originally adopted by my daughter. She moved into a building that didn't allow dogs, and I'd grown attached to him so rather than send him back to the shelter I took him. He is very friendly and energetic. He was a godsend during the pandemic; we'd often take 3am walks. He is very affectionate and loves attention.

Story
Bert and Ernie are an inseparable pair of best friends who do everything together. Whether they’re snuggling up for a nap or enjoying a walk side by side, these two share an unbreakable bond. When Ernie feels uncertain or scared, Bert is right there to guide him and offer comfort. Bert, ever the social butterfly, adores belly rubs and being the center of attention. Meanwhile, Ernie prefers to stay a little more in the background, quietly observing and staying involved without feeling overwhelmed.This duo is searching for a calm, loving home where they can settle in and thrive. Their ideal family will offer the patience and understanding they need as they adjust to their new surroundings. Bert is working towards reaching a healthy weight so he can get back to running and playing like he used to, while Ernie would love a peaceful environment where he can gain confidence and trust, knowing that love always comes around for a second chance.Are you viewing my information on a third party site like Petfinder.com?

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.
