Story

These two sweet brothers are five and six years old and absolutely inseparable, so they need a home where they can stay together. They love to play, keep each other company, and bring so much joy and energy to the house. They do best with supervision indoors, as they may have accidents if left alone, and they can be vocal when excited—barking at people, other pets, or even when it’s mealtime. They need someone who truly loves dogs and has plenty of time to spend with them—ideally a retired person, a stay-at-home parent, or anyone who can give them the love, patience, and attention they deserve. With the right person, they’ll be the most loyal and affectionate companions.

She would thrive in a calm, patient home with someone who understands that healing takes time. Snowberry does have a mammary mass that will be removed but thankfully she is unbothered by it. With consistency, gentle reassurance, and lots of love, Snowberry will continue to blossom and show her sweet, trusting heart.WHY DID THEY COME TO WISE: Snowberry spent her entire life as a breeding dog in a puppy mill.

Thankfully, WISE was able to step in and rescue her giving her a second chance to experience the love and warmth of a real home. Now shes ready to start that new chapter!Personality: Snowberry is truly the sweetest, most docile baby girl with a gentle soul. She is beginning to build confidence, though she still has a long journey ahead, and every small step she takes is a beautiful one. She bonds deeply with those she trusts and thrives on quiet affection and reassurance. So a patient, understanding home that can continue helping her feel safe and supported will be incredibly important for her continued growth. KIDS: Yes, kids 10+DOGS: YesCATS: YesTraining: Snowberry is still learning about the world and making steady progress. She is currently very afraid of the leash and tends to freeze when it is on, but we are gently working on helping her become more comfortable with it. She feels safer going outside in a quiet yard where she can have a bit more personal space and take her time finding the right spot. She does wonderfully with her crate and chooses to sleep there, though she prefers it not be fully closed and likes knowing her people are nearby. In the early mornings, she sometimes asks for a cuddle. She is fine being left alone for periods of time, especially with the company of another dog. Around other pups, she is curious but very timid and continues to build confidence at her own gentle pace.Visit WiseAnimalRescue.org to fill out an adoption application.Adoption areas include: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maine, Vermont, Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire.

Story

Meet Gangi — A Quiet Soul Ready to Bloom 🐶 3 years old | Spayed Female | Bichon Frise × Poodle (Bichon) Mix | 8.8 lbs Gentle, soft, and a little shy — Gangi is a beautiful 3-year-old "Poochon" (Poodle × Bichon mix) who is just beginning to discover what a peaceful, loving life can feel like. She weighs 8.8 lbs (4kg) and came from one of Korea’s many illegal puppy mills, where she was kept as a breeding dog. Her past is unclear, including whether she gave birth, but what’s certain is that she never knew kindness — until now. After her rescue, Gangi underwent surgery on her right patella (kneecap), and is now doing well. She’s fully vaccinated, spayed, and currently thriving in a quiet foster home where she’s learning that people can be gentle and the world doesn’t have to be scary. 🐾 What makes Gangi special? Gets along beautifully with other dogs and even cats Pee pad trained and also does well with outdoor potty Very low shedding (rating: 1/10) No separation anxiety and never barks unnecessarily A calm, peaceful presence — the kind of dog who quietly watches before slowly coming closer While she loves playing with other dogs, she’s still shy around humans — especially new people. She’s not aggressive at all, just cautious. She’s currently learning how to walk on a leash and would thrive with a patient adopter who can give her the time and space to blossom at her own pace. If you have a gentle heart and a quiet home, Gangi might just be the soul you’ve been waiting to meet.

Story

📌 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 Waltz was rescued from the Busan City Shelter. After leaving the shelter environment, she transitioned into foster care, where her thoughtful and expressive personality has become more visible with time and trust. 🌿 Temperament & Behavior Waltz prefers calm and respectful interactions. She does not like dogs that rush toward her suddenly. With polite, cautious dogs, she may occasionally greet and coexist peacefully, but she is selective about canine interactions. She is generally wary of cats and is not expected to coexist comfortably with them. With children and adults, she shows no aggression or dislike. When encountering people on walks, she tends to remain neutral and uninterested rather than reactive. 🚶 Walking & Daily Life Waltz follows an outdoor-focused potty routine. If she needs to go indoors, she reliably uses the bathroom area or a pee pad placed inside the bathroom. She does not have accidents elsewhere indoors. She enjoys walks and handles daily routines calmly and predictably. 🏡 Habits & Training Waltz enjoys being petted. Although she may be shy around unfamiliar people at first, once she receives a few gentle strokes, she warms up quickly and shows her affection—making soft, happy sounds and wagging her tail. She does not prefer close sleeping contact with people. Instead, she chooses to rest near her person’s feet or, after receiving enough affection, moves to her own preferred sleeping spot. She is smart and expressive, clearly communicating her needs, such as asking for pets or play. 💛 Likes & Personality Waltz enjoys gentle affection, playing fetch, and communicating with her people in her own clear, endearing way. She is independent yet emotionally expressive, offering affection on her own terms. She is currently living in a foster home. 💙 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

** 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!
