Story
KoKo is a 2.5 year old Maltese and shih Tzu male. He is in perfect health and up to date with all shots, potty trained, and he is not neutered. He is very affectionate, loves to cuddle, and a sweetheart but is extremely anxious and excitable. He is very energetic. He becomes fixated on things like other dogs, children, adults, and cats. He will bark, whine, lunge at other dogs and people. We have tried private training with a professional dog trainer, classes, and puppy school, with very little improvement. I discussed behavioral issues with my vet and they recommended anxiety medication. There is no change when taking medication. If we are in a quiet space without any distractions, he can loose leash walk and follow commands easily. He is such a love bug and adores tummy rubs.

Story
Meet QQ🧡 QQ was rescued from an illegal breeding facility in South Korea, where she lived in a cramped cage with accumulated waste and fur beneath, making standing painful and emitting strong ammonia fumes. She is now adapting to everyday life and is expected to become healthier and happier soon! ** Health Status - Scaling done, two teeth extracted - Originally had poor skin condition leading to severe grooming and medicated baths; currently much improved and non-contagious. - Due to periodontitis, her gums have receded, causing instability in her teeth. This prevents her from eating hard food, and she requires soft kibble and snacks. - Has an eye injury but no vision impairment. * Interaction with People: Loves people but initially fears strangers, especially men. Takes time to warm up, but once comfortable, she follows around, wags her tail, and likes to be by your side. * Interaction with Dogs: Shows little interest in other dogs and prefers spending time alone. * Interaction with Cats: Indifferent; passes by without much notice. * Separation Anxiety: Minimal; manages well alone and spends most of the time sleeping when the family is out. * Potty Training: She prefers indoor potty training and is proficient with using pads. She occasionally confuses blankets with her potty spot but is improving. She also does well with outdoor potty training during walks. * Hygiene: She cooperates well during baths. Nail trimming can be frightening and cause some fuss, but she stays calm. She is also good with brushing and drying. * Walking: Ignores other animals, walks without pulling, and matches the walker's pace. * Car Sickness: Travels well in the car without any signs of motion sickness. * Very gentle with no biting, even when touched or petted by strangers. 💙 Foster's Instagram: @p.ssshhj
