Bank’s story is a close call—scheduled for euthanasia, he was rescued just hours before the procedure, thanks to a foster stepping in at the last moment. Now, he’s ready for a second chance at life with a loving forever family!

Favorite Things: Bank loves toys (especially tug-of-war) and prefers jerky treats to bones

He is the most friendly, handsome boy, who gets along well with other dogs, is well mannered on walks and has a very good appetite. He gets along well with kids and would do well in any kind of home as long as he has a loving family! He barks at visits from strangers, but is otherwise very quiet, smart, and affectionate.

Prince Hans is a remarkable dog with an even more remarkable story. Rescued from deplorable conditions at a gas station, he endured a life of neglect, tied up and surviving on coffee and food scraps. His life took a turn for the better when a compassionate resident stepped in to save him from an uncertain and bleak future.

Prince Hans would thrive in a calm and loving home where he can continue to heal from his past experiences. He’s a perfect fit for individuals or families seeking a loyal and low-energy companion who appreciates the simple pleasures in life. He would do well in a home with a secure yard for leisurely strolls and playtime.

He’s a quiet and composed companion who prefers to listen and observe. He lights up when it’s treat time or time for a leisurely walk, his two favorite things. Otherwise, he’s content to lounge quietly and relax. Prince Hans already knows commands like “Sit” and “Stay,” which is a testament to his intelligence and eagerness to please. He’s a quick learner!

He’s a survivor with a heart of gold, and all he’s looking for now is a forever home filled with love, patience, and understanding. If you’re ready to open your heart to this resilient and gentle soul, Prince Hans will reward you with unwavering loyalty and a lifetime of companionship.

Meet Goldilocks! Just like the famous fairy tale character, Goldilocks is a friendly and adventurous pup with a heart of gold. She loves spending time with people and enjoys the company of her doggy friends too. She has a bit of a cheeky side when she’s out and about with other dogs, but when she’s at home, she behaves with utmost gentleness. Goldilocks is not just friendly, but she’s also engaging, making every moment spent with her truly enjoyable. She’s always up for fun and loves exploring her surroundings, just like the curious Goldilocks who ventured into the three bears’ home.

While she is quite the social butterfly with other dogs, she would prefer to be the only dog in her forever home. This way, she can bask in all the love and attention she deserves, just like Goldilocks found herself surrounded by the comforts of the three bears’ home. She doesn’t bark excessively, is very well-mannered on a leash and has mastered Sit’, ‘Wait’, and ‘House’ (go to your place).

This week, we welcomed five pups to NYC from Korea! We are so thankful to our amazing adopters who opened up their hearts and homes to save these k-pups. Welcome home Oakley, Clara, Prince, Sailor, and Indie!

If you are interested in adopting, please consider our wonderful, resilient, and adorable pups located in Korea. While they might be a flight away from their forever home, that shouldn’t steer you away from adopting them! Apply today at waldosrescue.org

We are also still looking for fosters in California for two of our Golden Retriever / Labrador mix k-pups who will be arriving at LAX next week! See our previous post for more details.

FOSTERS IN CALIFORNIA (LAX) NEEDED!

Meet Thumper and Mrs. Rabbit!

These female puppies are a Golden Retriever / Labrador mix, which means they are not only adorable but have inherited the best traits from both breeds.

They are currently located in Korea where they were born to a family on Juju Island. Their owner surrendered them after no longer being able to care for them and their six other puppy siblings.

They will be coming into LAX on April 15 and are in need of fosters who can give them love and affection while we look to find them forever homes. The puppies will be 4 months old and about 15 pounds at that time. If you are able to foster, please reach out to us by emailing [email protected].

🧡 MEET JAFAR 🧡

Jafar's journey has been one of resilience. He was discovered at a construction site tied to a leash that was less than 3 feet long, surviving on scraps and stale bread. He was abandoned and his world was sadly confined to that small space. Jafar had an early stage heartworm infection, which he bravely battled through treatment and is now declared healthy.

Despite the hardships he faced, Jafar has made leaps and bounds. He is now ready to find a forever family to call his own! He is great with people, and will become friendly if he is approached slowly when first meeting new people. He can be timid and cower around younger children who are too excited, so would do best in a home with older children or adults. He is good with female dogs, but can be timid and afraid around other male dogs - however, he does get along very well with a male puppy in his foster home!

Unlike the Aladdin villain, this Jafar is best described as gente, playful and affectionate. He is a quiet dog who doesn’t find himself barking or howling often. He does well in cars and prefers to go potty outdoors!

Weight: 40 lbs
Age: 3 yrs
Gender: Male
Energy Level (1-10): 6
Housetrained, ok with female dogs.
