Story
**He is currently in Seattle** Mukgoo is about 5 years old. He was found near an army base in Korea and immigrated to America around the age of 1 on President’s Day of 2020. He is an incredibly smart and lovable dog. He is kind and loves people (loves dogs and people). He will eat almost anything (except veggies). He can be a jumper when he gets very excited. He prefers households with another dog and a big yard to run around in but it’s not a non-negotiable. He has always adjusted well to whatever the circumstance. Overall, he’s a good dog and he’s got a lot of love to give. I’m having to give him up due to being unable to raise him in my current life stage. In no way, this is due to any bad behaviors or anything. He’s a really kind-hearted and sweet dog. Likes - He loves playing fetch (quickest way to his heart), rolling in the grass, puppycinos, ice cream, snow, people, dogs - Historically has liked lamb, fish skin, salmon, bully sticks, dental sticks, sweet potato, etc. In general, he loves to eat~ - Very social and prefers to greet other dogs and people, including dog parks, doggy day cares Dislikes - He dislikes bath but who does - He doesn’t like being alone but can manage a few hours if needed - No longer is a fan of veggies - Fireworks and big noises Things to Watch out for - Throwing up: If you let him freely eat grass, he’ll throw up. When he feels stressed, he can react by throwing up. - He can be independent when he is fixated on things. Just be patient with him and he will come back to focus on you. He is a people pleaser. - He rarely barks. He may bark when other dogs bark but even that is rare. He is more of a whiner. If he needs to let you know something, he will whine. - Not a counter surfer but can be if you let him Commands He knows his basic commands (sit, down, hand, etc.) and is open to learning new ones as well. Potty He is used to peeing and pooing outside. Once you create a regular spot and time for him, it’s clockwork. Otherwise, just be aware when he whines that it may be time to go. - At a high level, he knows “go potty” and “go poo” as a sign to go to the bathroom - He will rarely go pee or poo inside the home. Once in a million tries, a thing like that can happen during the night but he’s really sorry when he does. Leash He has never been fully off-leash, only in areas that condone it (home, backyard, dog park, etc.). He is not one to go off-leash and run away. He’ll run around and try to have you play with him. Keep him on a short leash if you need to focus on walking as he can veer away due to his interest in sniffing. Once on a short leash, he’ll understand and walk along. However, give him time to sniff as he is very curious with smells. Sleep He can sleep together or on his own if you’re in a different room or floor. He is also loves to cuddle up as well. When there’s fireworks, it’s recommended you sleep where he sees you because he’s afraid of the loud sounds. Food He is on one meal a day. If you give him two meals a day, he may not eat the first meal. Snacks though he loves. He knows how to sit and wait for food. He is currently on Costco’s salmon and sweet potato meal.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to Vancouver & Toronto💟 Meet Hyunmi💕 (It means brown rice in Korean) * With People: Is friendly with people, but is a little shy! Will wag his tail in greeting, but is surprised if you try to touch him too quickly. When you pick him up, he's happy to be picked up, and he'll sit back and relax with his tail wagging. Recently, he’s become more comfortable with human touch. Shows his belly when people approach or pet him. * With Dogs: Is a scaredy-cat so he stares at new dogs at a distance rather than approaching them. Gets along well with familiar dogs and loves to lie down and play with his close friends! Plays rambunctiously with his foster sibling. * Separation Anxiety: Is good at being alone, and time flies by when he’s with other dog friends. Is awkward if left alone with new people, but accepts treats and rests. * Potty Training: He mostly goes outdoors, but when he does go indoors, he uses the toilet rather than a pad. * Hygiene: Takes both baths and grooming very well. * Walks: Is good at walking with his guardian and other dogs. Is practicing basic commands such as ‘wait’ and ‘come.’ He sometimes gets stiff and stops when cars and motorcycles pass by on walks alone, so just pick him up and move him somewhere else and he's good to go again! * Car sickness: Doesn't have a big problem with short car rides! 💟 Special Notes💟 * Has mastered "sit," "lie down," "wait," and "turn around." * Is somewhat timid and may squeal when startled by rough play. Is afraid of sudden loud noises. Foster's IG : @adogs_hyunme

Story
Hi, I'm Nalan (Nala) and here is a bit of info about me:Breed: Basenji mixAge: 9 monthsGender: MaleWeight: 33 lbsHeight: 21-1/2 inchesCountry of origin: Ghana, AfricaHighlights: Social, Alert, Playful, cuddly,  Protective, Curious, Active, Affectionate, Dependent, Stubborn I am quite social and playful. I have a bit of curiosity about the world and actively engage it. I love having other dogs around and love spending time in dog parks and trails.While walking with a co-worker during her volunteer time in Ghana, my rescuer noticed a puppy on the sidewalk, me. I was tiny with a phone charging cord tangled tightly on my neck. She untangled me and waited for me to try walking, but they quickly realized, I could not move my legs.Once they finished their tasks, they came back again and saw I was still there. They had hoped my momma would show up, but she never did. So I was helpless and alone. Being the loving heart she is, she took me home and contacted a vet. The vet suspected I had been hit by a car. Probably while following my mom in search of food. I was treated over the next few days and began to recover. Soon, I was playing with another puppy in the compound and even befriended the neighbor’s kittens. You'll find I am the sweetest, most affectionate little soul, always snuggling up and full of love, especially toward women, kids and other doggos who visit. I take my time to trust humans, but once I do, I become their best friend.After six months, my rescuer's assignment was over and she returned to Canada. She brought me to Canada as well. Pet culture is quite different in Ghana—us dogs rely on finding food and water on the streets, even if we have a place to sleep at night. I have become so accustomed to regular meals, care, and endless snuggles, I wouldn’t know how to survive on my own in the streets.My rescuer loves me deeply and would adopt me in a heartbeat, but her work doesn’t allow for this ability. Hence, the search for a safe and loving forever home where I can continue to thrive.Hoping you enjoy activities I can join in on, as I have puppy energy to burn. While a bit stubborn at times, I think this is my puppyness learning how to interact, as I love being near you too. I have a silly/goofy streak that comes out, which should make you laugh. I'm energetic and social and would love to have another doggo as my best friend in the house as I was always having a doggo figure around.  After getting to Vancouver, I've been living with an 8 year old dog, he is truly my brother, we go for big walks and spend time in dog parks almost every day. I have learned to be off leash in trails and dog parks. At first, I was growling at big unneutered males in the parks, but after getting nuetered myself, now I enjoy socializing, running and playing. I am very considerate and gentle with smaller dogs as well. The only time I growl is when I'm on a leash walking and a big unneutered dog comes along. My growlig has never turned into a bigger fight or anything, just mentioning my boundries. As far as other dogs, I love them and I have grown up with 2 kitten buddies too, so would love one as a sibling as well. I also have been around lots of kids in the community and enjoy them very much. So a home with 4 and/or 2 footed siblings would be my utopia. I had been skeptical of men I don't know getting close, however once I get used to them, I am okay. Now after getting neutured, my skepticism is fading bit by bit and I'm being okay with strangers petting me.I can only hope that someone will open their heart and home to a loving boy like me. I bond quickly, so you will have a friend for life. Additional vids:  https://youtu.be/CKmjLoixQ4Y, https://youtu.be/5aSzGa_Ydw8,  https://youtu.be/WvObL8Ul_HU, https://youtu.be/MXTJ2KCVz_U Energy Level: Moderate to highI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: yesKids: yes Fears: little skeptical of men, but warm quickly once I know them. This is also fading after being in Canada, being social and getting neutured. I'm trusting humans again. Training:Leash skills: in progress. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home. Health notes:I am neutered,vaccinated and  microchipped. I've done so many different tests after arriving to Canada and they were all indicating I'm healthy. My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver. Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue. Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you. Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website. The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live. While most dogs find escorting passengers flying directly to Vancouver, some will find flights through Toronto or  Montreal. In that case, additional fees will apply to fly your dog to Vancouver by cargo. Unaccompanied cargo costs within Canada range from $350 - $550 depending on the size of the dog. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs.[MID-EAST] *Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza. Bordetella is not given, as that has not been a problem in the Middle East.[TURKEY] Dogs from Turkey receive a 4D SNAP test to include Heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmania and Anaplasmosis. ##2192035##

Story
Meet Rose: A Lovable Soul Looking for Her Forever Home Rose's journey hasn’t been easy, but she is a sweet, gentle dog ready to find a loving family who can offer her the stability and care she deserves. Three years ago, Rose was adopted from a high-kill shelter, where she and her brother, Baekdu, had been waiting for a second chance. Sadly, after three years, Rose and Baekdu were returned to the shelter after their owner’s breakup. In high-kill shelters, adult Jindo dogs are at high risk of euthanasia, and we knew that Rose and Baekdu would face an uncertain future without intervention. While Baekdu was fortunate to quickly find a new home, Rose has carried the trauma of her early life with her. She had been abused by her previous owner, leaving her with a fear of people. But through patience, care, and time, Rose has made remarkable progress. She has learned to trust again, and now she is ready for a fresh start in a home that can provide the love and care she needs to continue healing. ❤️❤️Personality and Behavior Rose is a gentle and affectionate dog, seeking the love and attention of her people. Though timid at times, her curiosity often shines through as she explores her surroundings. She enjoys being petted and is friendly with both men and women. While she has not had experience with children or cats, we believe with the right guidance and environment, she could adapt well. When it comes to other dogs, Rose is generally good, but she tends to dislike overly aggressive approaches. She is more likely to thrive in a home where she is the only dog, as she can become overwhelmed by strong personalities. Rose does not show aggression but is more likely to shy away from tense situations. Rose is fully potty trained and can use both indoor and outdoor facilities. She has not had crate training but is learning to adapt to new situations with time. Rose has an average energy level—she enjoys walks and playtime but also loves her quiet moments. ❤️❤️Health and Daily Needs Rose has a good appetite and enjoys her meals. She can walk on a leash, though she may need some encouragement and time to adjust to regular walking routines. She is not prone to excessive barking but will softly bark when other dogs or people are nearby. Rose is not an escape artist, and while she will back away if forced into an uncomfortable situation, she is generally calm and not prone to running away. Rose is also a gentle soul when it comes to toys—she enjoys playing, but her behavior tends to lean toward dismantling toys rather than destructive chewing. ❤️❤️Ideal Home for Rose Rose would thrive in a home where she can receive the care and attention, she needs to feel safe and secure. Ideally, she would benefit from a house with a yard, especially if daily walks are not possible. While Rose could live in an apartment, it’s essential that she receives regular walks (2-3 times a day) to keep her healthy and happy. Rose may be best as the only dog in the household, though she may also adapt well to a calm, well-mannered dog who respects her boundaries. Rose’s perfect family will be patient, understanding, and willing to offer her the structure she needs. With the right guidance, Rose will blossom into an incredibly loving and loyal companion. Could you be the one to give Rose the second chance she’s been waiting for? If you have the time and love to offer her, Rose is ready to bring joy, affection, and her gentle nature into your home. Together, you can give her the forever home and happy ending she deserves. 💕

Cream is a sweet and gentle girl who may be a little shy at first but loves playing with other dogs. She spent her entire life tied to a short rope in a remote countryside field in Korea before being rescued. She and her sibling, Cheese, were tied up separately, but when Cheese suffered a severe injury, he was rescued first. Fortunately, he found a loving family in Washington, USA, and is now living a happy life. Left alone after losing her only companion, Cream endured a lonely time before finally being rescued with the help of many kind people. At first, she was scared of people, but now she happily runs over when called and loves to play with her friends. She is simply waiting for a warm, loving hand to reach out to her. With love and care, she will shine even brighter! Cream is eagerly waiting for her forever home. Would you like to be the lucky one to welcome her into your family? Open your heart to her, and she will become your loyal friend and beloved companion!
