Story
Hello, my name is RAH RAH and I am a young 9 month old girl with a curious and playful spirit! I came from someone who had too many dogs and ended up with the nice people at Downtown Dog Rescue. I think I look like a whippet/pit mix and will weigh about 40 lbs when i'm full grown. I am still just a youngster and would love to be in a home with a family who can provide me with the patience, love, and care that I need as I grow and learn. Here's a video of me with a trainer on my first visit to the local park getting to explore the world around me. I was a little scared at first but quickly came out of my puppy shell https://www.instagram.com/p/DCHZZIUv5Am/ I am spayed, microchipped, and current on my shots. If you are looking to add a new member to your family, I would love to meet you! Please fill out out our brief application at https://downtowndogrescue.org/adoption-questionnaire and we will get back to you!

We are looking for a loving home for Candy. Candy is a rescued/whippet mixed with Terrier. She is about 4.5 years old. Candy needs a pet-free environment as she demands all the love and attention to herself. Candy is sweet and timid. She loves to sunbathe and long walks. She is great with kids and adults but needs to be the only pet in the home preferably with a back yard to run and enjoy her quiet sunny days.

Story
Pudding was my oldest daughter’s dog and he has been with us about 6 years. He moved in when she moved back home temporarily. When she moved back out she couldn’t take him and Pudding stayed with us. We have an older pug/chihuahua mix that Pudding gets along with- at least they tolerate each other. They’ve never fought. Now our younger daughter got divorced and moved back home and brought her golden retriever puppy with her. Pudding hates this dog. Our other dog has adjusted to the puppy but Pudding has not. It’s been almost a year. He is a very sweet dog and was best and happiest when he was with my daughter and was the only dog. He also did well with our older small dog. He’s about 10 years old. He’s potty trained. He doesn’t bark. He’s been a good dog and deserves to be in an environment where he thrives and enjoys his surroundings.

Story
❗Current location: in a foster home in South Korea❗ • Rescue Story: He was rescued from a high-kill shelter along with his brother in Jan 2023. While his lucky brother found his forever home soon after and has been happily living with his family, Saerom was relinquished twice by his first and second families unfortunately. His former families misunderstood his teething as biting and did not like his appearance. He may have been hurt by them, but is growing as a bright pup in his current foster for the past 10 months and has learned socialization to be ready to find his true forever family. We hope he won't get hurt by humans ever again! • 3 keywords: attached to his owner/ active/ smart • Affinity with - Dogs: Generally good around other dogs! He's been behaving at a dog swimming pool or a dog cafe. - Cats: He lived with a kitten once in the current foster home, and he ended up being sweet and taking care of it :) - Kids: When he was a puppy, he lived with two kids (one elementary schooler, one kindergartener) in his previous foster home and liked playing with them. • Housetrained: uses indoor pee-pads placed in a restroom! • Barks/Howls: Only barks at the doorbell sound. • Walking Manners: He tends to pull a little out of excitement at the beginning of a walk but paces with his walker later on. • Energy Level: mid-high since he is still young! • Appetite: He eats anything well! • Car Rides: He has felt slight car sickness for a long time over 20 minutes. (fine with subway) • Bathing/Teeth Brushing: Good with water itself, but not a fan of a dryer. / Likes doggy toothpaste! No problem with teeth brushing every night! • Likes: plush toys and dog chews! • Commands/Tricks: sit, paw, stay, eat (pound twice on the floor), down, and 'V' • Shedding: 2 during non-shedding seasons and 8 during shedding seasons

** 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.

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.
