Hi! my name is Rookie.
I am a Terrier mix boy and weigh 19. lbs (9kg). I am 1 year old, neutered and fully vetted.
I was a stray dog and taken to Hampyoeng local shelter in Korea last fall. The shelter was infamous for performing euthanasia twice a month.
In shelter, we were not given enough food and water in time and the environment was terrible, so infectious diseases were always spreaded. So,more often than not, dogs there died prematurely due to natural causes rather than euthanasia. I was about to be subjected to euthanasia in November. Furthermore, starveness and skin itchiness made me more scared as each day passed by.
Fortunately, I was rescued right before euthanasia performed and got a medical check. Due to malnutrition and a terrible environment, I was diagnosed with dermatosis, hair loss, and heartworm disease.
Thanks to care of foster parents in Korea and other people’s support, I could be neutered, vaccinated, and received heartworm treatment. Finally, I became a very healthy dog!
In order to find my forever family, I moved from Korea to foster home in LA this February. I love to go for a walk, play tug of war, and have treats with dog friend in my foster home. These days, my favorite time is relaxing with my foster parents on the sofa. My foster parents speak highly of me that I am such a sweet and smart boy!
If you think I’ll be a good fit for your family, please submit an application for adoption!
