Story
These are two 4-5 year old sisters from different litters, both coming from the same puppy mill/pet shop. They belong to my boyfriend's mother, and unfortunately she is too mentally and physically debilitated to be able to properly care for them. She does not have the means to cover most of their necessary expenses, either. They are not spayed, not up-to-date on their vaccinations, and are behaviorally-okay to be walked but are not given daily walks. My boyfriend's sister was the original owner of these dogs, but when she moved out of the mother's home she left them with her mother. Being unable to properly care for these dogs has brought her immense stress and so she's come to me for help in re-homing these babies.

Story
❗Current Location: in a foster home in South Korea❗ Meet Haengsoon! Your Future Best Friend Haengsoon is an incredibly adaptable dog who quickly made herself at home in her foster environment. She’s the kind of dog who can just lay back and relax without a fuss. Haengsoon adores people and is full of affection, often following her human around like a little shadow. While she’s not a fan of other dogs, she’s been well-trained with basic commands like sit, stay, lie down, come, no, and paw. She’s already accustomed to wearing a harness and enjoys grooming sessions, including brushing. Haengsoon has no interest in trash or human food, so you won't have to worry about her getting into mischief. Though she does shed a bit, her potty training is flawless—she knows how to use both the bathroom and pee pads perfectly. Haengsoon absolutely loves her walks and is always excited to go outside. She’s also a quiet companion who doesn’t bark when the doorbell rings or when people come inside. However, she may occasionally bark briefly if she hears sudden noises outside the door. Haengsoon isn’t a fan of having her nails trimmed, but she doesn’t suffer from separation anxiety, making her an easy-going and independent dog. If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion who’s ready to fill your life with joy, Haengsoon might be the perfect match for you!

Story
This handsome boy is Artemis and at just about one year old he's been spending a lot of time with a foster family. They recently took him on an adventure and reported back on how well he did: "Arty enjoyed his week (last week) in the suburbs! We spent lots of time in the park, on trails, playing with several other dogs, and enjoying lots of fetch, chase, and monkey in the middle in the backyard. He met new people almost every day and visited a couple of friends/family's houses; and did SO well overall! He even enjoyed his first snowfall and enjoyed eating small snowballs." Arty is working on some behavioral issues like being a little mouthy or pulling on his leash, but he's working so hard and is doing a great job. When he has consistently and someone to help him along the way, he grows by leaps and bounds. He has lots of energy so he'd do best in an active home. He's such a good boy who will make a loyal and loving companion.Artemis spends time in the adoption center and in foster care so please note his location. If this animal is located at our Manhattan Adoption Center, head in to meet them and see if you are a match!
