Story
💙 Name: Hodol 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 3 months old (born in August 2025) 💙 Weight: 3.2 kg / 7 kg 💙 Adogs Center Updates: @_adogs_ 1⃣ Health Condition * Neuter: Incomplete. * Others: Microchipped, being treated for canine coronavirus and giardiasis. 2⃣ Rescue Story * Hodol was living at the Gimje City Shelter. He was waiting at the shelter with a smile on his face despite the weather getting colder, but no one stepped up to adopt him. The shelter had poor conditions, with infectious diseases spreading and poor heating, so Adogs urgently rescued him. 3⃣ Basic Information ❗️As a puppy, he may need training in areas such as separation anxiety, potty habits, biting, nipping, whining, disorderly behaviors, howling and barking. ❗️It is difficult to predict his shedding and growth size because his parents are unknown. * With People: Is a little shy but is docile and stays in your arms when picked up. Once he becomes familiar with someone, he wags his tail like a helicopter and runs around happily just seeing them come near. * With Dogs: Plays well with the other dogs at our center. * With Cats: Hasn’t met cats yet. * Separation Anxiety: Unknown, since he’s living in a group setting at our center. Will need training from scratch. * Potty Training: Does fairly well with potty pads. May need to be re-trained in a new environment. * Walks: Hasn’t been on walks since his vaccinations aren’t complete. * Car Sickness: Didn’t show signs of car sickness on short-distance rides. * Biting: Has not bitten. However, he may nibble or chew since he’s still a teething puppy. * Barking: Sometimes whines a bit if he seems someone outside his kennel. * Likes: Has a great appetite and loves food. * Dislikes: Although he is docile when picked up, he seems a bit uncomfortable with it since he yawns (a sign that a dog isn’t comfortable).

Story
Hank is 2 years old. He’s very sweet and is a good listener. He does well with kids but he does not get along well with other dogs due to being kept in a crate with an aggressive dog who attacked him. He is a good dog but will need to be kept close on walks or he will be aggressive with other dogs. He loves food. He knows sit and shake and he loves belly rubs. He’s a great protector and loves to be close by you. He loves the outside and going on walks. He likes sleeping in his crate at night. He will try to eat food off the counter so beware of that. Other than that he is a great dog but he will need to go to a home with no other pets, especially no other dogs. We are unsure of how he does with other animals (cats, etc) He has no health issues and adapts very well to new environments.

Story
Meet Aurora! This gorgeous girl is a stunning 3 1/2-year-old female Alaskan Malamute. She was surrendered to us when a breeding operation shut down and we had to step in and help her and the others! If there is one thing this girl is obsessed with, it is HUGS! I met her for the first time, and she came right up to me, gently jumped up, rested her paws on each shoulder, and gave me the biggest hug while looking deeply into my eyes. There was no leaving her behind! This amazing girl is great with all dogs (big and small), CATS (yes, that's huge), all people, and kids! She is really an amazing dog that is eager to please and cuddle. She is incredibly smart- she knows how to sit, paw, and hug. She wasn't taken on walks in her prior home, so we have been working on that, and she is doing wonderful on a harness. She does not pull and is gaining confidence on the leash every day. She is not your typical high-energy working dog; she is very low-key and wants to be with her humans. She would be perfectly fine with a short or a long walk, no matter your speed! Aurora would absolutely love to be cuddled in bed and be the couch potato. She paws when she wants to be pet in the most gentle way. She is still growing hair back since she had puppies almost 3 months ago and was covered in fleas. She is 100% potty trained and crate trained. Aurora is truly a special dog. Her adoption fee includes: Wellness Exam, spay, microchip, vaccines and dental.

📌 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: Meet Koko with two charming blue eyes👋 Turning 5 months old, Koko was discovered in March 2023, trembling in front of the shelter in Korea. His previous owner had left him there with a message saying that he could no longer care for him due to personal reasons. The poor pup had been abandoned without a collar or leash. Despite his fear, Koko did not run away and remained on the spot, waiting for help. Ever since then, he’s been living in a boarding house, patiently waiting for his forever home! • Personality: Friendly, Energetic, Happy Initially, Koko was very nervous and frightened during his first days at the boarding house. However, he quickly warmed up to the staff and other dogs and is now a very happy and playful boy. Koko loves spending time with his humans, especially sitting outside on the grass and basking in the sun. His energy level is high. He would be a great fit for a family who enjoys outdoor activities and can spend ample time with him. • Affinity with - Dogs: He enjoys playing with other dogs. No aggression toward others. - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Good with adults / Older teens would be more suitable for his energy. • Walking Manners: Not much experienced - in training • Housetrained: Koko will need some time and guidance with house training as he adjusts to a new environment. • Bathing/Brushing: Tolerates them just fine • Car Sickness: Not tested • Separation Anxiety: None. • Barks/Howls: A little bit when he greets people • Appetite/Food Allergies: No allergies. • Shedding level (1~10): 7-8 • Likes/Dislikes: Koko loves running around and playing with his people and friends! • Health: A healthy boy! 💙 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.
