From Yejin's Family: "Yejin came into our lives in March 2024 and she’s been a wonderful addition to our family. There was some hesitancy with a first time international adoption. Working with Minnie at Never Alone Animal Rescue and seeing Yejin’s Instagram videos helped put our minds at ease.

Initially Yejin was timid and frightened. Understandable after traveling to the other side of the world, new environment, new people. One day at a time she became more comfortable with her new family. She is a sweet girl with a ton of energy and we are happy to have her as part of our family.

We are grateful to the team at Never Alone Animal Rescue, including foster families that cared for Yejin. Special thanks to Minnie for guiding us from the start. We remain in touch, sharing updates on Yejin’s life."

From Kora's Family: "Never Alone Animal Rescue was so great to work with. They were very responsive and thorough with the interview process. They care about the dogs and help set you up for success.

From Ponyboy's Family: "We had an exceptional experience adopting from Never Alone Animal Rescue. From the beginning, they were thorough and responsive, ensuring that we were well equipped to give our new dog a great, safe forever home. Admittedly, we were a little nervous adopting internationally, since we hadn’t met the dog before, but the second we met Ponyboy, we knew we made the right choice— I can’t imagine a life without him. He is playful, sweet, loves people and other dogs, and makes us laugh every day. We even stay in touch with his Korean foster and his puppy siblings via instagram! We can’t recommend Never Alone Animal Rescue enough, and can’t thank them enough for bringing Ponyboy into our lives."

From Junior's family: "It was love at first sight.
As I scrolled through Petfinder, my heart stopped. The dog on the screen looked almost exactly like the first dog I grew up with. As I read his description, he fit the criteria I was looking for - young adult, 20 lbs, gentle, and friendly.
There was only one problem - he was located with a foster family in Korea. "No way," I thought. "I'm never getting this dog." I searched other shelters, went to adoption events, and couldn't get him out of my mind. So I took a chance and filled out the application - just to see what they'd say....
Minnie from Never Alone Animal Rescue responded to me very quickly, and we had a nice long chat about my other experiences with rescued dogs, my work schedule, and the type of dog I was hoping to find. She told me about Junior's experience with his foster family and shared more details about his personality along with pictures and his instagram page. I tentatively asked, "When do you think he might come to the U.S.?" I nearly fell off the chair when Minnie answered, "You can pick him up at the airport next week!"
My cousin and I could barely contain our excitement, pacing at the arrivals terminal, and I didn't exhale until we were safe at home.
Junior settled in quickly, which I credit to the wonderful family who had fostered him. Dogs thrive on consistency, and Junior quickly learned a new routine and new words in English. As he has relaxed into his new life, Junior is learning to play with dogtoys - tug of war and fetch. Letting him win has helped improve his confidence. He is not as fearful as he used to be and he even barks sometimes. He's gained a little weight and muscle tone. In addition, Junior has bonded more closely emotionally, cuddling up for tv time every night.
For anyone considering adopting from NAAR - go for it! They gave me a very accurate description of Junior's personality and answered all of my questions about him. The screening process was not bad, and I'm glad that they check potential adopters thoroughly. The whole process went very smoothly. One suggestion - take someone to the airport with you. It's difficult enough to navigate the airport without wheeling a dog crate along, so having a 2nd person there is essential. For the first few months, give him lots of patience as he adjusts - the dog's whole world has changed, and he needs time to get used to new food, new smells, and new people. Minnie still checks in sometimes and continues to follow Junior's progress via my instagram account. It's nice to know that I can reach out if I need to. Best of all, I love watching Junior's personality continue to develop as he explores new places and learns new things. I always share his story with people we meet, and if they speak to him in Korean, he remembers and responds. Across the miles, we are bonded by love for this one little dog - and he is so worth it. You are furever home, Junior Dory."

From Puka's Family: "Adopting Puka was all around one of the best experiences we have ever had. I saw him on Instagram and immediately fell in love with him. For some reason or other, I just knew he was the piece of our family that was missing.
Never Alone and TBT rescue (Never Alone Animal Rescue's South Korean partner: https://t-bt.org/) were amazing to work with every step of the way. They were very responsive and kept me posted about how he was doing in the shelter and in his foster home while we were waiting for him to arrive in the US. The entire process took about a month and Puka arrived at JFK airport on April 17, 2024. We were nervous because, although we were told he was very gentle and sweet and had seen many videos of him, we didn’t know how he would actually be when we met him in person, and we weren’t sure how he would take to our 4 year old son (because he didn’t have much experience around small children) and our 6 year old Samoyed. Upon seeing his perfect little face for the first time at JFK airport, our fears were almost instantly releived. He really was the sweetest most gentle boy and was extremely well behaved and happy on our 6 hour drive back home to Buffalo NY. He bonded with our son the whole way, letting him pet him and kiss him. When we got home, he met his 6 year old Samoyed brother Akela, and things went very smoothly; they took to each other right away. They even happily shared Puka’s “Gotcha Day” cake from the local dog bakery!
We had a few minor adjustment struggles as Puka settled into his new home (like some peeing and pooping accidents in the house and some times where he got understandably overwhelmed), and he was very shy at first and does still enjoy his own space at times, but overall he has fit into our family seamlessly. I call him my angel baby because he really is perfect- and genuinely happy to be part of our family. It was one of the best decisions we ever made and now we can’t imagine life without him."

From Olaf's Family: "After months of searching for the perfect companion for my rescue dog, Astro, I finally found him—Olaf. One look at his face and reading his story, and I knew he was the one. Olaf was in a shelter in South Korea, scheduled for euthanasia in February 2024. Thanks to a last-minute rescue effort, he was saved and brought to the U.S., where he could finally find a loving home.

I reached out to Never Alone Animal Rescue, hoping Olaf hadn’t already been adopted. To my relief, I got a response right away! After going through the application process, we set everything in motion to bring Olaf home.

Olaf was staying with a wonderful foster family who had already fallen for his sweet personality. The transition wasn’t easy for him—understandably, he was nervous after all he’d been through. He’d finally found safety with his foster family, and now he was on the move again. But as soon as we walked through the door and he saw Astro, it was like magic—they bonded instantly and have been inseparable ever since.

Today, Olaf is an irreplaceable part of my life, and knowing the journey he took to get here makes our bond even stronger. Giving him this second chance means everything to me. 🐾💕 "

[Update: Adopted!] Okie is Adoptable! 🐾

Age: 1 year old (estimated) 🎂
S*x: Neutered Male ♂️
Weight: 22 lbs

Okie was rescued from the meat trade in South Korea along with his brother Dokey, who has already found his forever family through Never Alone Animal Rescue. Now it’s Okie’s turn to find his forever home. He is affectionate, energetic, and loves playing with other dogs at the dog park.

Okie’s foster family said, “his tail wags like a helicopter, and when you call his name, his ears go down as he asks for pets.”

Ideal Home:
• Okie thrives in active households and needs a patient family. 🏃‍♂️🏡
• Best suited for a home without very young children but would do well with older, dog-savvy kids. 👧👦
• His ideal family would take him to the dog park frequently or be open to sending him to daycare regularly. 🐕🌳

If Okie would be an excellent fit for your family, please apply to schedule a meet and greet (https://forms.gle/iyHwTukQoHYVuhQs5)!

From Bernard's family: "I was perusing Petfinder when I saw Bernard’s adorable face pop up! At first I wasn’t aware he was in South Korea but as I checked out his accompanying Instagram I figured it out. Through his Instagram we were able to see his personality! He loved other dogs, chills in the house and overall a fun dog! We interviewed with the matchmaking volunteer from Never Alone and she told us everything we would need to know about Bernard. She was very quick to respond to my future texts/questions quickly and thoroughly. If she didn’t have the answer she contacted the foster parents and got back to me quickly. Bernard arrived at Logan airport and it was such an exciting experience to see him come out of customs!! There was someone there to greet us, gave Bernard a collar and some food and handed us his paperwork. Bernard is an amazing dog who has brought such joy to our family!! Thank you Never Alone!!"

From Oliver's Family: "Since adopting Oliver in September, him and I have become inseparable and I cannot imagine my life without him. Previously described as shy, Oliver has quickly developed his own personality and is one of the silliest, smartest, and sweetest pups I’ve ever met.

Never Alone Animal Rescue International was very thorough and efficient. During the interview process, I was able to talk with the matchmaking volunteer to learn more about Oliver and determine it was a perfect fit. His foster family in South Korea even made an Instagram account for him, which was super helpful in learning more about his personality and progress throughout his time with them. I was a little nervous about Oliver’s anxiety level after traveling so far, but he arrived incredibly calm and seemed to be comfortable in his carrier. He even still sleeps with his blanket and toy he arrived with! Since then, the matchmaking volunteer has continued to check in with us and has been a huge reason this transition was so smooth. I recommend Never Alone to those hoping to rescue, and I look forward to working with them again when we are ready for another dog!"

From Miso's Family:"Never Alone goes the extra mile to ensure that rescues end up with the right family. The matchmaking volunteer was fantastic in communicating with us throughout the entire process and even weeks after we had adopted our puppy, Miso. I really appreciated the interview process, where the matchmaking volunteer took every step possible to ensure we understand the specific temperament and needs of our dog. As a result, we’ve found a compatible addition to our family. Miso makes us smile every day, and we can’t imagine a life without her!"
