Meet Kuni Kuni is around 8 months old and weighs 24.5 lbs About Our Foster-to-Adopt Dogs Many of our dogs come from difficult situations in South Korea. While they are safely rehabilitated at our rescue center, we often have limited information about how they will behave in a home environment. All dogs receive basic care, socialization, crate introduction, and leash walking while in our care. However, things like house training, shedding, behavior with children, and personality in a home can only truly be discovered once the dog arrives and begins living with a family. Because of this, we offer a foster-to-adopt program, which allows adopters to spend time getting to know the dog at home before finalizing the adoption. During this time, both you and our team will learn more about the dog’s personality, needs, and potential. Please note that house training and adjustment to a new environment are always a work in progress with rescue dogs, and patience is essential during the transition period. Our team provides continuous support via Slack to help guide you through the foster-to-adopt experience.
This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.
🧠 Temperament
However, things like house training, shedding, behavior with children, and personality in a home can only truly be discovered once the dog arrives…. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
Most adult dogs do well with 30-60 minutes of walking a day plus play and sniffing time.
✂️ Grooming
Brush regularly, bathe as needed, keep nails trimmed and ears clean.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
All dogs receive basic care, socialization, crate introduction, and leash walking while in our care. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
