Meet Yuri! This sweet 6.5-year-old female is a survivor with a heart full of love, ready to find her forever family. Yuri's journey began in Korea, where she and her siblings were rescued shortly after birth by a kind individual. While some of her family found homes in the U.S., Yuri stayed in Korea. Her first adoption into a family who lived in an apartment was short-lived. She was later moved to a rural home where she experienced neglect and was kept tied up outdoors. Thankfully, Yuri was rescued again and is now eagerly awaiting her second chance at a life filled with love and security. Yuri is a charming companion who absolutely adores people, good food, and playing fetch with her favorite ball. She possesses a gentle and loving nature, making her an ideal best friend for anyone ready to offer her the devoted home she truly deserves.
Ideal Home
Yuri needs a loving indoor home where she will be cherished as a family member and never have to experience neglect again. We do not recommend leaving dogs alone for more than 4 hours. If you expect to be away longer, we strongly encourage doggy daycare or another appropriate care option. We typically do not adopt to homes with children under 8 years old.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Many of our rescue dogs had very little socialization before entering our program. As a result, skills such as house training, leash walking, and adjusting to family life may take a little extra time. Patience, understanding, and gentle guidance are essential. The good news is that most of our dogs adapt remarkably well, and helping them blossom into confident family companions is an incredibly rewarding experience.
Application Details:
- Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
- Applicants must be at least 25 years old.
- A home check is required before adoption.
- Applicants must have a social media account so we can receive post-adoption updates.
- Once your application is approved, we will request a copy of your identification through a secure app and/or complete a background screening.
Transportation
Yuri is currently in a foster home in Korea. Once adopted, she will be transported to the U.S. Applicants must live within a 45-minute driving distance of Springfield, Virginia (Northern Virginia and the Washington, DC suburbs only). Because she will be transported, in-person meet-and-greets are not possible, but detailed information, photos, and videos are available to help you get to know her.
