📌 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.
**Health Status:**
Latte is generally healthy. He is neutered, fully recovered from surgery, and receives monthly heartworm prevention on the 10th of each month. No known allergies. He shows excellent behavior during veterinary visits with no signs of fear or aggression.

### **Rescue Story**
On a bitterly cold winter day, January 7, 2026, two Whippets were reported abandoned on a roadside. The dogs were extremely underweight—thin enough that their bones were visible—yet they were still wearing clothes, making it clear they had been deliberately discarded by humans.
The two dogs, later named **Latte** and **Tosi**, are believed to be siblings and appear to have lived together their entire lives. Our team immediately rescued them, provided medical evaluations, and began rehabilitation care. Although we are actively investigating the individuals responsible for their abandonment, only circumstantial evidence has been secured so far, making legal action difficult at this time.
After more than a month of careful recovery and observation, both dogs are now healthy and emotionally stable enough to begin their adoption journey. While a **bonded adoption** would be ideal, we are also open to placing them separately in exceptional homes if it means long-term safety and love.

### **Personality**
Latte has a gentle, affectionate temperament and is often described as having a soft, almost “sweet and ladylike” demeanor. He is calm, observant, and emotionally sensitive, yet still enjoys playtime and interaction.
* **With dogs:** Excellent. He loves other dogs and plays well.
* **With cats:** Friendly and curious—he wants to greet all animals.
* **With adults & children:** Loves everyone. Very people-oriented and affectionate.
**Energy level (1–10):**
* Latte: 7 at peak excitement
Overall, Latte is moderate-energy and well-balanced.
---
### **Daily Life & Behavior**
* **Bathing:** Not a fan of water, but cooperative and gentle. He may tremble during baths but remains calm and manageable.
* **Leash manners:** Excellent. Calm and focused during walks.
* **House training:**
* Uses pee pads indoors (about 80% accuracy).
* Latte tends to use the edge of the pad.
* Both dogs have designated areas for bowel movements.
* They defecate frequently during walks, indicating high potential for full outdoor potty training.
* **Barking/Howling:**
* Occasional barking when hearing other dogs outside.
* Latte briefly showed howling due to separation anxiety, but this resolved completely within 3 days and is believed to have been situational.
* **Car rides:** No known motion sickness (Tosi experiences motion sickness, Latte does not).
---
### **Food & Resource Behavior**
Latte has a strong food drive, likely due to past neglect. He eats well and loves treats.
Tosi shows mild food-guarding behaviors toward Latte (blocking access, guarding his bowl) but **never shows aggression**. Latte himself is gentle and non-confrontational.
---
### **Likes & Dislikes**
* **Loves:** Human laps, physical affection, food, toys
* **Dislikes:** Butt wiping 😅
---
### **Training**
* No formal commands yet
* Responds to recall approximately 80% of the time
* Will stand up on his hind legs when someone pats their chest and calls him
* Runs out excitedly when he hears “Mom is leaving!”
---
### **Current Living Situation**
Currently in a foster home following group rescue.
---
### **Ideal Home**
Latte (and ideally Tosi) is looking for a family who:
* Understands the **Whippet breed**, including their sensitivity and need for warmth and closeness
* Values gentle handling and emotional security
* Is committed to lifelong companionship
Latte and Tosi are deeply bonded—sleeping together, playing together, and relying on each other emotionally. A home that welcomes both would be a dream come true. However, we are open to separate adoptions if each dog is placed in an exceptionally loving and stable environment.

**Latte in three words:**
Gentle, affectionate, emotionally intuitive
