URGENT NY / EAST COAST USA FOSTER NEEDED 🚨

We finally have a flight for sweet baby boy Flipper. He arrives to NYC on 9/11, and we need a foster to take him in.

We looking for a New York or East Coast based (willing to pick up at JFK) foster home 🏡

He’s a sweet, social, and affectionate 9 month old puppy with a smile that will melt your heart.

Flipper is a poodle mix who weighs about 26lbs. He was rescued from a scrapyard in South Korea after his mom (Oat, another TB3 pup who has been adopted in NYC!) gave birth to a litter outdoors in harsh conditions. She fought to keep them alive, and luckily Oat and all of the other babies have been adopted, leaving Flipper behind. Now it’s finally his chance.

He is a happy and confident young boy who has gotten along great with all people and other dogs he has met. He has been gentle with children he’s met, and friendly with strangers. He grew up around cats and is cat-friendly and respectful of his feline companions.

He walks well on a leash, and doesn’t seem to be fazed by loud noises, stairs, or elevators. He settles well when left alone and is reliable using p*e pads indoors or pottying outdoors.

All around, Flipper is a great pup who just needs a foster family that can welcome him to the USA with open arms and lots of cuddles.❤️‍🩹

🚨 PUPPY ALERT! Meet Maru!

*Adoptable in the USA only*

This 11.5lb, 7 month-ish old, terrier mix (fox lookalike) boy is ready to be your new best friend.

Maru was rescued in South Korea where he was found chained up on the street living through harsh conditions and surviving off of trash. For anyone to have to survive through those conditions, let alone a puppy is just horrifying. 😭😭😭

Despite his rough start, Maru is a bright and cheerful seven-month-old puppy with plenty of time and potential to learn. Since he is just a puppy, we recommend continued training as he transitions into his forever home.

Maru is currently in foster care in South Korea and adjusting well! *So far* - He rarely barks, has shown no signs of separation anxiety, and is comfortable being independent. He has gotten along well with all dogs (including large dogs) he has met. He is a truly happy boy who wants to be best friends with all.

Maru is ready to be adopted and can fly into many major US airports ✈️

💔MORE THAN 7 MONTHS IN KOREAN FOSTER CARE. LUCKY NEEDS YOUR HELP….

Reintroducing our sweet sweet boy Lucky!

He is such a great pup and we have been promoting him for SEVEN MONTHS with no real applications 😭

Lucky is super sweet and affectionate, gets along with everyone (people and other dogs), and even goes potty outside. His foster parents in Korea have also helped us foster other dogs, and he is so sweet and welcoming to them. Lucky is a friend to all. He has really come out of his shell in foster but has been there for a very long time now.

While we don’t know much about his life before rescue in Korea, we do know how friendly and sweet Lucky is…and how well he has adjusted to life in a home. He is a chill and easy going guy that doesn’t need much activity.

Name: Lucky
Breed: Terrier Mix
Age: 4 years old (roughly)
Weight: 21lbs
Progress: A total gentleman on the leash (no pulling!) and primarily outdoor toilet trained. He is non-reactive to other dogs and people on walks. Indoors, he is peaceful and loves resting in cozy spots. He already knows how to “sit” on command!

Lucky is the definition of a “gentle soul.” While he can be a bit timid at first, his tail never stops wagging the moment he meets someone new. He is a quiet, soft-natured boy who simply wants to be near people and feel safe.

If you’re looking for a calm companion to join your world, Lucky is your boy! 🐾

Lucky is currently in foster care in South Korea and is looking for a patient, loving family in the U.S. He will arrive fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, and can fly into many major U.S. airports. ✈️

He is so ready for a life of quiet naps, neighborhood strolls, and a family to call his own. ❤️

Meet Cookies and Cream! 🍪

This sweet 3-year-old, 7lb Pomeranian boy was rescued in South Korea on the day of euthanasia at a horrific, high kill shelter. Luckily our rescue partner got there just in time. He is currently in foster care in South Korea and is ready to go to his forever home. He can fly into the USA only 🤍

Cookies and Cream is affectionate towards people, and has done well with other dogs he has met. He is not overly playful, and would likely do best in a home as the only dog or with gentle / calm, easygoing dog siblings.

He is food motivated and doing great with continued training; he goes potty on p*e pads and even sleeps in his own dog bed at night 💤

He is currently being treated for some skin issues that have caused hair loss on his tail. Despite all that he’s been through, Cookies and Cream is still a smiley and easygoing boy.

Cookies and Cream is a happy pup who is just waiting for a loving family that can give him cuddles and pets for the rest of his life 🫶

🤍 Age: 6 years old
🤍 Weight: 7.5lbs
🤍 Taffy is working on continued training. She has had success with p*e pads and walks well on a leash - she enjoys exploring the outdoors at her own pace!

Taffy is a loyal pup who forms strong bonds with her people. She is eager to please, and has gotten along well with all dogs, cats, and humans (kids included) that she’s met. She’s truly a dream dog.

🚨🐾 FUREVER HOME NEEDED – UK OR USA 🐾🚨

Meet Vegas ❤️

Vegas is the sweetest little Maltese boy you could ever hope to meet.

At just around 8 months old, he was the youngest survivor from our meat truck rescue in China. No puppy should ever have experienced what Vegas did, but thankfully his story didn't end there. Today, he's safe, loved, and finally ready to find the family he's always deserved. 🏡

Vegas is a happy, playful little boy with so much love to give. Despite everything he's been through, he has remained gentle, affectionate, and full of joy. He's the kind of dog who will happily become your little shadow and bring a smile to your face every single day.

The wonderful news is that Vegas has a foster home waiting for him in NYC, so he has a safe place to land if he doesn't find his family before he flies. ❤️ However, our dream is for him to travel straight into his forever home, so he can begin the next chapter of his life with the people who will love him forever.

✨ A little more about Vegas:

🐶 Male
🎂 Around 8 months old
⚖️ Approx. 3kg (6.5lbs)
✅ Neutered
🐕 Friendly with the dogs he has met
🐈 Good with the cats he has met
❤️ Sweet, affectionate and ready for a lifetime of love

Vegas is available for adoption in the UK or the USA, with flights available to JFK.

Could you be the happy ending this precious little survivor has been waiting for? ❤️

Meet Toffee! ✨

This adoptable 3.5-year old, 10lb Pomeranian girl is looking for a forever family that can love and cherish her for the rest of her life.

Toffee was rescued from horrific conditions in South Korea, where she spent the beginning of her life caged outdoors, living in filth, and neglected. She never knew what love, affection, or care felt like...until now. ❤️‍🩹

Toffee is thriving in foster care. She has learned what toys are, felt the warmth of a bed, and enjoys spending time with her foster family (both humans and other dogs!). She is a resilient, sweet, and cuddly girl who deserves a family that can love her forever- she will definitely return the favor 🫶

Toffee is currently in South Korea, but can fly directly to her adopters in the USA. She can fly into many major US airports ✈️
