📌 Important Adoption Information All of our dogs are currently living in private shelters or foster homes in South Korea. Once an adoption is approved, dogs will travel to the United States through legal and approved international transport procedures. Video calls are available prior to adoption, and adopters can communicate with our rescue team in real time through our official organization and app-based messaging channels throughout the process. • Rescue Story: Meet Moana👋🏻 She was found wandering the streets of Paju, South Korea in 2022. She ended up at a high-kill shelter but was thankfully rescued just in time. Since then, she’s been living in a private shelter with many other dogs, charming everyone with her affectionate personality. Now, she’s ready to find a forever family of her own! • Personality: Affectionate, Friendly, Goofy Moana is truly one of a kind. She quickly won the hearts of volunteers with her gentle, loving nature. She follows people around like a little shadow, happily greeting everyone—even strangers—with tail wags and affection. Moana thrives on human interaction and loves tug-of-war, belly rubs, and being the center of attention. Her energy level is moderate, making her a great balance of playful and calm. • Affinity with - Dogs: Moana is incredibly social—not just with people, but with dogs, too. She’s often the first to welcome new arrivals at the shelter, helping them feel safe and at ease. While she would thrive as the only dog in the home, Moana also does best with calm dog companions. - Cats: Not tested with cats - Adults/Kids: Great with adults / She hasn’t been tested with cats or kids, but based on her gentle demeanor, we believe she’d do well with respectful children. • Walking Manners: Moana has also started practicing her leash skills and is doing great! She may pull a little at times, but overall, she walks well and is eager to please. • Housetrained: As she’s lived in a shelter, Moana will need some house-training in a home setting. • Bathing/Brushing: She’s tolerant of baths and grooming. • Car Sickness: She’s curious and alert during car rides, taking in the world around her. • Separation Anxiety: Zero. • Barks/Howls: Very quiet • Appetite/Food Allergies: Eats well. No food allergies found so far. • Shedding level (1~10): 5 • Likes/Dislikes: She loves affection & treats! • Health: Moana finished her heartworm treatment in Oct 2024 and is in great health. She underwent successful surgery for an inguinal hernia in Mar 2025 and has fully recovered. She has a clean bill of health and is ready for her new adventure! (Her two front bottom teeth are missing) 💙 Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation, Customs and export documentation, Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee. Your support directly helps us continue rescuing and caring for dogs in need, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.

Story
Greta Gremlin is the BEST grumpy looking hugger you will ever meet! Her long legs are always reaching out to you hoping to get picked up or at least some really good petting. She is soulful as she stares into your eyes, hoping for some warm gentle time with you. Add in another playful dog (she lives Rigby the weiner dog in the same rescue/foster home) and she can flyyyy around the room, carry toys and tennis balls for play, steal food like a lurking lion and then scream like a banshee when she gets caught 🤣🤣🤣. She is quite the fun personality! She is a burrowerer and you have to see which pile of blankets moves when you call her name to look for her. She snuggles tight against you all night looking for maximal cuddles and warmth. She was found in the country, had been living in a field for at least a week near a construction site for a house. It was February and the temperatures were in the 20s and 30s and needless to say she really had to fight to survive. She is mouthy in play and young enough that her teeth are still sharp so not recommending her for small children or older people with thinner skin. She loves to give a chin nibble when you go to give her a kiss. She would eat a 40 pound bag of food if you let her 😬. Estimated 3 years old.

This is Bruno, He’s very energetic loves back rubs and loves to run around and play. He’s potty trained and listens very well. He also loves being around other animals, never bit me, never growled at me.My aunt who was here unfortunately got deported a year ago and I volunteered to take him in, but I am a very busy guy who can’t really take care of him much, I really love him with all my heart, I want a good home for him. Where he’ll receive attention and love… I also can’t keep up with his allergy’s as they are bad. And his vet bills I can’t keep up with it. I took him I took him to the vet last week to get his shots updated and he has a yeasty gut which can be resolved and they told me he is going blind which can be reversible but very expensive. I’m currently facing financial issues.He just started to bump into things here and there, he can’t really see when it’s a little dark, he needs light.im financially struggling as moments are hard for me, contact for me more info about bruno

Story
Gentle, affectionate 35-lb young dog ready to discover life as someone’s beloved companion. Maura is just over a year old and was found with her siblings on a farm in rural Virginia. Having grown up outside, everyday household life is still new to her—stairs, vacuum cleaners, and the normal rhythms of a home. She isn’t afraid of the world—she simply hasn’t experienced it yet. Maura is an incredibly sweet, soft-natured, affectionate girl who loves people. She’s just beginning to discover that petting and attention are wonderful things, and her confidence grows more each day in foster care. She does beautifully with other dogs, has been around cats, and has been gentle with children. A calm canine companion could help guide her as she continues learning about the world. Before rescue, Maura had puppies in a hay barn. Sadly none survived, but despite that difficult start she remains trusting, loving, and incredibly kind. She doesn’t need a perfect home—just a patient one willing to show her how loved dogs live. In return, you’ll gain a loyal and deeply devoted companion. 35 lbs • about 1 year old • good with dogs, cats, and kids Maura is spayed and up-to-date on vaccines. The adoption fee for this dog is $425 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. PetConnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and the general appearance of the animal at the time they enter our system.

Story
Chum is known for his boundless energy and goofy antics that keep everyone laughing. He loves to play and is always up for a game of fetch or a fun training session. Despite his playful nature, Chum is a cuddle expert and enjoys snuggling up after a long day of fun. He has a knack for making everyone around him feel loved and entertained. Chum would make a delightful addition to any family looking for a loyal and amusing companion. He is housetrained, good on a leash, will sleep in a crate (but really would love to sleep with his humans). Chum LOVES people. He probably will be best as an only dog, as he does not like sharing his toys, and we feel he would do best in a home without little kids. Let us know if you would like to meet Chum!
