Story
Meet Fluffball Bueller! He's looking for a temp foster in at the end of March or early April for about a month. Timing is still TBD, but if you are interested in learning more about his temp foster need and want to spend some time with this happy-go-lucky fluff ball, read below on how to submit a foster application! He's also avialable for adoption! See below on how to apply to adopt 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! He had a neurology consultation and he seems to have mild right-sided vestibular disease, which makes him turn to the left frequently, especially if he's over stimulated, and he will be due for a neuro recheck in April. 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 Not ready to adopt, but interested in helping Bueller out for about a month? He needs a temp foster at the end of March or early April for about a month. If you are interested in temp fostering Bueller, please fill out a foster application at: https://www.forgottendogsrescue.com/foster-application or send an email to foster@forgottendogsrescue.com. When you foster with Forgotten Dogs, we supply all food, equipment, training support and vet care.

Story
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##

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

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to SEA💟 Meet Dooly🦕 (It's famous Korean dinosaur character name) * With People: Dooly is curious about people but shy and hesitant to approach. He gets scared by sudden movements, so patience and slow, gentle interactions are essential to building trust. * With Dogs: He coexists well with other dogs at the shelter, though he prefers to relax rather than actively play. * With Cats: Dooly has not yet been exposed to cats, so his behavior around them is unknown. * Separation Anxiety: It’s currently unclear if Dooly experiences separation anxiety as he resides in the shelter. Initial training may be needed if he transitions to a home environment. * Potty Training: Dooly is accustomed to outdoor pottying only. * Walking: He has had some leash training during his time at a dog school but will need a trusted handler and double leashing for gradual and safe walks. 💌Special Notes💌 * Dooly takes time to get comfortable with people and requires a patient, understanding environment to help him adapt.

Name: Faith Gender: Female Breed: Husky About Faith: Introducing Faith, a remarkable 3-year-old Husky whose story is as inspiring as her spirit is endearing.

Despite the unimaginable pain she must have endured, Faith's strong will and unyielding determination shone through, helping her survive and continue to show an incredible zest for life. Faith is a beautiful example of the resilience and strength Huskies are known for. With her natural runner’s spirit, she thrives in environments where she can explore and be active. Huskies are known for their boundless energy and love for adventure, so it's highly recommended to keep Faith securely leashed and within a fenced area to prevent her from chasing after small animals, which is an instinctive trait of the breed. Despite her rough start, Faith is incredibly smart, intuitive, and affectionate. She has an innate ability to connect with people and is open and trustful, showing that she has a big heart despite past hardships. Faith loves playing with other dogs and is well-balanced in social settings, making her a wonderful companion for outings and adventures with you by her side. Faith is a fast learner and responds well to training, thriving when given a purpose and regular daily exercise. As a working breed, Huskies like Faith need plenty of physical and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. She’ll be at her best when engaged in activities that challenge her and keep her active. If you’re ready to offer Faith the loving home she deserves, you’ll gain a loyal and spirited companion who will fill your life with joy and adventure. Come meet Faith and see how her resilient spirit and loving nature can enrich your life! They are currently in Mexico awaiting a family committed to a 10-day trial.
