Story
Hi, I`m Mathias! I`m a pretty great mix of energetic and chill, and I love to be close to my humans. When we leave my condo to go outside, I get really excited, sometimes too excited, and I can lose my mind if I run into another dog or person unexpectedly (like when the elevator doors open!). But I usually calm down if I’m near you. Other dogs? Well, I’m a bit of a work in progress. I don’t love them at first sight—I might bark and lunge a little, but with patience, I sometimes relax, especially if I have a chance to get to know them. I’ve met a few dogs, and I did okay as long as I was close to my human. But I get along with smaller dogs like corgis, so maybe I could learn to be okay with a dog sibling if we were introduced the right way. I’m a bit of a snuggle bug and love being close to you—whether it’s curled up on the couch or burrowing under the blankets. I love my humans and can be sweet and affectionate, giving little kisses when I`m in the mood. I sleep soundly in the bed and don’t destroy anything when I’m left alone in the condo. But don`t let that fool you—I do get jealous if I hear you talking sweet to my feline roommate. Still, I’m no threat to her! She holds her ground and has even swatted me a few times.When I meet new people, I get excited and interested, and I`ve even met some kids under 10 and liked them! Oh, and if you have any cheese cubes or a little scrap of food, I`m all in. (Though I`m on a strict diet, so I have to be careful with that.) My walks at Piedmont Park are my absolute favorite, and I get super pumped when you ask, `Is it time to go outside?`I’m looking for a family who’s home a lot, can keep me on my special diet, and is prepared for some future medical care—like possibly surgery if my bladder stones come back. I’m not the best match for someone who works all day and leaves me alone, but if you can spend time with me, I’ll be the sweetest companion ever. Just be ready for some snuggles and maybe a little jealousy!

Story
Gretel is a sweet 13 year old dog. She has lived with my family since 2013 and has been a great companion but I have a toddler and a crawling baby and unfortunately she doesn’t do well with the baby who will pull at her. We would keep her our family but no one can take her now. She would be perfect for a home that wants a relaxed dog who loves to cuddle and will follow you room to room to lay at your feet. She will initially barks at strangers but warms up quickly.

Story
❗Current Location: in a foster home in South Korea❗ Meet Sunny with a story of miracles👋 Sunny was found on a street in South Korea at one year old in 2018 and taken to a high-risk shelter, but she was already in serious condition presumably caused by a car accident. Her pelvis was fractured, and her right hind leg bone was broken into pieces. She was saved from euthanasia by the rescue team and hospitalized for months (Jun-Sep 2018) due to the surgery and recovery. She was miraculously given a new life thanks to the rescue. That same year, after a few months of foster period, Sunny found a forever home, which was another miracle we thought of back then. Five years later, however, the rescue team got an unknown phone call requesting to change Sunny's ownership. Long story short, her family decided to give up on her after years, sent her to a pet shop, and paid them, all this without discussing it with the rescue team. This pet shop basically receives pets from owners and in turn, sells them out, and to do so with Sunny, they needed to have Sunny's ownership switched from the rescue team to the pet shop so they contacted the rescue team, and that’s how the rescue team learned Sunny's situation. Eventually, Sunny was able to safely return to her original rescue team, which is another miracle in her story. Despite all these setbacks, Sunny's sweet nature and zest for life shine bright. She needs one true chance to find her real forever family that loves her unconditionally. Recently, she has been moved to her foster home with two other dogs. Sunny is eagerly waiting for her own home now! • Personality: Sweet, Playful, Sociable Sunny thrives on love and affection and gets along with all people and furry friends, making her the perfect companion for anyone seeking a lovely and affectionate fur buddy. She is such a cuddle bug! She likes snuggly cushions and blankets. • Affinity with - Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs regardless of the size - Cats: Okay with street cats. She sometimes tries to chase kittens, but she stops when told. - Adults/Kids: Good with adults, especially elders including men / Okay with kids - not much interest in them. 💫She will be a perfect fit for most types of families! • Walking Manners: very good • Housetrained: fully housebroken, okay with both pee-pads and outdoors. • Separation Anxiety: None • Bathing/Brushing: very good • Barks/Howls: she barks when excited or when she wants something. • Car Rides: very good • Appetite/Food Allergies: No allergies • Shedding level (1~10): 5-6 • Health Issues: Due to the serious injuries that she got from an accident right before rescue, her pelvis is not perfectly placed (incomplete union of iliac) even after she had surgery immediately after being rescued. However, currently, she doesn’t show signs of pain when walking or running. If you have an open heart and a loving home for Sunny, please don't hesitate to apply!
