September was another beautiful month for our AKR family.
These 25 precious dogs found their forever homes and began a brand-new chapter with their families. 🏡✨

To our adopters, thank you for opening your hearts and homes.
And to everyone who helped make these journeys possible, thank you for being part of their story. 💙

Happy Gotcha Day to our September AKR family! 🐶💕

🐾 AKR ARRIVALS & HAPPY UPDATES — AUGUST 26–30 🐾

Another week of new beginnings, new families, and little steps toward forever. 💕🏡🐶

🌸 Aug 26 — Dongi & Seoi | Sisters

These sweet sisters are starting their new journeys! 💕

Seoi has been adopted and is doing very well. Her family has been taking things slowly, separating her from their 11-year-old dog at first and gradually introducing them while working on training. Seoi is very friendly and affectionate — she even showed her belly on her very first day! 🥰 Her appetite is great, too. ❤️

Dongi, an 8-month-old, 15 kg Jindo mix, is also wonderfully friendly and affectionate. She loves people, enjoys making new friends, and is always happy to receive love and attention. 🐾❤️ She will be fostered while waiting for her permanent forever home.

🌸 Aug 30 — Ivy (aka Gomju)

Ivy is settling in nicely! 😊 At first, she wasn’t quite sure about Luna, but they are learning to respect each other and share their space. ❤️

On her second day, Ivy was still a little nervous and spent lots of time walking around, but she’s beginning to have calm moments where she can settle down. And there was a wonderful little milestone — Ivy pooped outside for the first time! 🎉🐶

Every new beginning takes time, and these little victories are worth celebrating. We’re so happy to see these pups finding their way home, one step at a time. 🏡💗

Welcome home, Seoi, Dongi & Ivy! 🐾❤️

🐾 AKR ARRIVAL & HAPPY UPDATE — AUGUST 17–21 🐾

Another week of new beginnings, new families, and little steps forward. 💕 Welcome home, sweet pups! 🏡🐶

🌸 Aug 17 — Aura (aka Orea)
Aura is slowly showing more of her personality as she settles into her new home. With help from her trainer, her family is learning to better understand her body language. There’s still work ahead, but they’ve already made great progress together. And of course, Aura has her very own Dalmatian-style stuffed toy! 🖤🤍🐾

🦴 Aug 20 — Hazel | Arrived at BOS
Hazel is doing GREAT! 🎉 She immediately knew the boxes of toys were for her and picked out all the bones — definitely a bone girl! 😂🦴 She loves her bed, follows her family around, supervises in the kitchen, and has explored the backyard and neighborhood. She even loved her first car ride! 🚗❤️ Hazel is settling in beautifully.

🌸 Aug 21 — Sori & Jiho
Jiho is doing wonderfully! 💕 She has a good appetite, walks nicely, and is starting to open up by bringing toys and asking for affection. Her family is letting her set the pace. Follow her adventures on Instagram: 🐾

Sori needs a little more time to adjust, and that’s okay. ❤️ She’s eating and drinking normally, while her family continues to give her the time and space she needs to feel safe and comfortable.

Every dog has their own timeline. We’re so grateful for families who give them the patience, love, and trust they need. 🏡💗

Welcome home, Aura, Hazel, Jiho & Sori! May your new lives be filled with love, cozy beds, favorite toys, happy walks, and forever families. 🐾❤️

Happy Gotcha & New Beginning! 🎉🐶

August 2026 Adoptions 🐾💙

What an incredible month!
These 28 beautiful pups found their forever families in August. 🏡✨

Every adoption represents so much more than a happy ending — it takes an entire community to get each dog home. A huge thank you to our adopters, fosters, flight volunteers, transport volunteers, supporters, and our amazing rescue team in Korea who make all of this possible.

Seeing these faces with their new families is exactly why we do what we do. 💙

Wishing all of our August adoptees a lifetime filled with love, adventures, and happiness in their forever homes!
