Andy

*** ANDY IS NOW PENDING ADOPTION!! ***

They’ve arrived!  After a long flight, Andy & Choo Choo are now enjoying their new foster homes!  Stay tuned for more photos, more info, and more love! ❤️❤️

Andy is, by all accounts, a complete sweetheart! (Be sure to read his previous foster family’s comments just below.)

He was rescued from a puppy mill by our partners, Cocker Friends Korea, with a yeast/fungal infection all over his body & feet, dry eye syndrome, chronic ear infections, and anemia. He’s now being treated for all of these conditions.

Nothing will make this little guy happier than to settle into his new furever home. We hope that can happen for him soon!

**Hot Takes from Andy’s Fosters in South Korea**

1. How is Andy with people?
He absolutely loves people and is extremely affectionate.
He especially loves giving kisses.

2. How is he with other dogs?
He is very curious about other dogs.
 Because of his skin condition, the veterinarian advised limited interaction for now, so he has only been allowed to sniff other dogs.
He has never barked, growled, or shown aggression toward them.

3. How does he behave when left alone?
He whines a little at first but settles down quickly and sleeps calmly.
 So far, he does not appear to have separation anxiety.

4. How is he on walks?
He walks well on leash.
 During walks he tends to walk a bit, stop, then continue again.
 About 40–50 minutes seems to be his ideal walk time.
 If walks go over an hour, he starts refusing to continue walking. 😄

5. Potty habits
He can do both indoor and outdoor potty.

6. Favorite toys or activities?
He seems to enjoy toys.

7. Any fears or sensitivities?
He is extremely gentle and does not seem fearful or sensitive.

8. How is he with a crate/kennel?
At the hospital he willingly entered the kennel on his own.
 At home he does not particularly like kennel training yet, but he remains calm and quiet inside the kennel.

9. Grooming / handling / medical care
He is incredibly easygoing with handling. 
Bathing, grooming, ear cleaning, giving medication, and touching paws are all very easy.
 Even during ear cleaning, he tries to give kisses. The groomer commented that he is one of the sweetest and easiest dogs they have handled.

10. Any bite history or guarding behaviors?
None at all.

11. Appetite
Very food motivated!
 He eats everything well, including treats, with no picky eating.

12. Energy level
Mostly calm with some playful moments.
 (Approximately 80% calm / 40% playful 😄)

13. Biggest charm?
He is incredibly sweet, calm, affectionate, and trusting.
 He has almost no stranger danger and quickly warms up to people.
 Among Cockers, his foster feels Andy may be one of the gentlest they have ever met.

Andy is scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles on June 7, 2026.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT PUPPY MILL DOGS:

Puppy mill dogs need very special adopters – patient people who will be understanding that potty training may be a very long learning curve.

Force-free training is the only way to go; these dogs are already so fearful, and they need kindness, not a dominant alpha approach.

These dogs will be extreme flight risks, so a home with no children is safer in terms of entrances and exits being 100% controlled by adults only.

Most of these more timid dogs will need a home with another confident dog to help show them the way. Typically, puppy mill dogs are dog-friendly!

Stay tuned for new details and further updates as we get them.
