Story
Meet Fluffball Bueller!  Bueller is a curious and outgoing pup looking for his forever home! This fluffy little explorer loves to check out his world with an adorable prance that will bring a smile to your face. While he enjoys staying busy, he’s just as happy playing with his toys or snuggling up for some quality cuddle time. Bueller is growing fast and can’t wait to play! He’s been attending puppy classes and is learning play skills quickly. He’d love to join a home with an adult dog who can continue teaching him all the best ways to chase, wrestle, and tug—and be a great role model as he grows. Bueller has some vision impairment that makes it difficult for him to see certain things. Larger objects are easier to spot, but glass doors are tricky! Overall, he seems to get around pretty well, but will need guidance, support, and management in a new environment. As with all puppies, Bueller will need continued training and socialization to help him grow into the best version of himself. He’s an Akita/Alaskan Malamute mix, estimated to have been born on October 16, 2024, and as of mid-February, he weighs 22 pounds. Due to his breed mix, we prefer adopters with experience with Akitas or similar breeds. If you’re ready to welcome this fluffy, prancing ball of joy into your home, apply to adopt Bueller today!  Bueller’s adoption fee is $550. Per our rescue policy, unless specifically noted in a dog's bio, we will not consider adoption applications from families with children under 5 years old.  Fill out an adoption application for Bueller at: https://www.forgottendogsrescue.com/adoption-application ##2250571##

Story
Great dog 🐕, house trained and loves to run. However I don’t have the time to run with him as consistently as he’d need and my apartment is to small to have him sitting around. I thought 1-3 times a day would be enough but not when he is always sitting next to me at the computer. I trained him as much as I could with the time we had. He can speak on command, sit, will stay when told, lay down, shake, and spin. He’s a tad pully on the leash but I’m sure he will become more obedient with this once he finds a free space with more room than my apartment. Name is Tako Born (08/04/2024) Akita mix breed

Quick Facts Name: Chance Age: 4 years Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Akita Mix Colour: Ivory (a mix of white and light brown) Weight: 23 kg My Story Hello there! I'm Chance, and I can't wait to tell you a little about myself. My journey began back in 2021 when I was rescued from a shelter in Gwangju. I was found in quite a tough situation, but now I'm ready for a fresh start with a loving family! My Social Side I'm a gentle soul with a curious heart. At first, I might take my time warming up to new people, but if you offer me a tasty treat, I promise to come around quickly! I love food, especially a variety of snacks, though I prefer to take my time enjoying them rather than gobbling everything at once. Once I feel comfortable, I love to be petted and might even show you my belly as a sign of trust. I enjoy being around kids, especially those under 13; they always bring a smile to my face! I also have a friendly nature when it comes to other dogs. I like to say hello and, once I'm comfortable, I'm happy to play! I'm still getting used to cats; I tend to get a bit excited when I see them, but I'm learning to stay calm. My Energy Level & Walks My energy level is just right. I enjoy my outdoor adventures and walks, but after a fun day, you can find me happily resting at home. I'm pretty good on a leash, although I sometimes get excited and might pull a little-just a pup being playful! Occasionally, my excitement gets the best of me, and I might bounce around happily, but I always make sure to wait for my walking buddies if they fall behind. More About Me I may not bark much, but when I do, it's usually to let you know if something interesting is happening around us. I've learned how to hop into the car by myself, though I prefer to be guided to the right spot first. One of my favorite things is toys-especially squeaky ones! I love to play and engage, and I know how to sit for a treat. It takes me a little time to show my playful side, but once we bond, you'll see my fun-loving spirit shine through! Even though I'm four years old, I still have a cute, puppy-like charm with my soft, droopy eyes. When it's mealtime for the humans, I like to sidle up and rest my face against their chair, patiently waiting for a little something to fall my way. Last Message Overall, I'm a sweet and adaptable pup, looking for a forever home where I can share my love and companionship. Are you ready to be my new friend? I promise to fill your life with joy and warmth! Videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRNg8NjTkRU&list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jx8XZNSUWLLB2zHPSNEBqOM ##2260907##
