Story
** Current Location: in a foster home in South Korea ** • Rescue Story : Meet Komi👋 Komi was found wandering the streets of Paju, South Korea, in April 2024 when she was about four years old and sent to a high-kill shelter. Thankfully, she was rescued just in time and transferred to a private shelter. Since August 2024, she has been thriving in foster care. With plenty of love and socialization from her foster family and their resident dog, Komi is now ready to find her forever home! • Personality: Active, Friendly, Gentle Komi is a sweet and gentle pup who adores people and loves to play with her humans! At home, she’s calm, happily lounging by your side. But once she’s outside, her playful spirit shines! She is looking for an active family that can offer her ample outdoor activities and adventures as she is highly energetic outside. Also, she’s a quick learner and adapts well to new environments. • Affinity with -Cats: Very curious about cats and tends to chase, but she listens to her handler's guidance. -Dogs: Gets along well with the resident dog in her foster home! She can be a bit too excited when meeting new dogs outside, so introductions should be handled with care. -Adults/Kids: Loves all people! She's friendly but doesn't show much interest in kids. • Shedding: 1-2 (1-10 scale) • Food Allergies: None! • Walking Manners: Komi always gets super excited to go outside, especially when she spots other dogs - careful introduction is required. She tends to pull on the leash but settles down a little after going potty. She would be happiest with a family that enjoys outdoor adventures and running! • Housetrained: Fully potty-trained! She uses pee pads indoors but prefers to do her business outside during walks. • Bath/Brushing: Tolerates baths and enjoys a good brushing session! • Car Rides: No problem! • Separation Anxiety: None! She's perfectly fine being left alone. Just be sure to keep food out of reach before heading out! • Bark or Howl: Occasionally barks at outside noises and when her foster mom comes home. • Likes & Dislikes: Komi loves running and treats! She’s also a big fan of playing with plush toys! • Health: Komi is in great health! Please note: if her fur is trimmed short, you may notice marks around her mouth, likely from being tied up in the past. These marks are completely hidden when her fur is grown out and do not affect her health or happiness.

Story
** Current Location: in a private facility in South Korea ** • Rescue Story : A dog with its eyes completely missing, a dog whose body was entirely blackened, a dog with rotting genitals... We struggle to find the words to describe the horrors we witnessed. Like hamsters on a wheel, the dogs cried out for help. There were every kind of dog here, some that were once fashionable and others currently in demand. The once trendy dogs were dying in the corner, while those now popular were crying out for salvation with every part of their body. This place had been illegally breeding and abusing animals for 25 years. From this hell, the rescue team saved Lulu. • Personality: Cuddle lover, people-oriented, loyal Lulu is affectionate and friendly with all people. He enjoys being touched. He is a "cuddle enthusiast" and often smiles when receiving attention. • Affinity with -Cats: Not tested -Dogs: Lulu has limited experience interacting with other dogs. He doesn't show much interest in them but could benefit from living with a similarly-sized companion. His social skills will develop as he gains more experience. -Adults/Kids: Lulu is affectionate and friendly with all people. • Shedding: 1-2 (1-10 scale) • Walking Manners: Lulu has not yet had proper walks. Once his adoption is confirmed, he will receive walking training, but continued practice with his adopter will be necessary. • Housetrained: Lulu frequently marks indoors and is still learning to use pads. More training is needed, and his adopter will need to continue this process. Once his adoption is confirmed, the team will continue pad training, but the adopter will need to maintain consistency with training. Baths/Brushing: He's calm during grooming, including nail trimming and brushing. • Separation Anxiety: None at the current facility • Barker or Quiet: Occasional demand barking (getting out of a crate, asking for more belly rubs, etc.) • Food Allergies: None • Likes & Dislikes: Likes People, treats, cuddles, and toys! • Health: Lulu has undergone surgery for both patellar luxation and is currently in rehabilitation. An ulcer in his left cornea is being treated with eye drops and is recovering.
