Choi says that the pup is well-fed and gets along with other dogs. He is not asking for any money, but just wants the dog to find a loving, caring home.'I want her to be in a home, directly into a loving home,' Choi said. 'I don't want her to be in a cage at Humane Society just waiting for somebody to pick her up. I really want to keep her but I'm moving out of the country so I can't take her.' Despite attempts to get the dog adopted through social media, Choi has been unsuccessful. If you are able to provide a nurturing home for the dog, please contact Choi at (808) 722-1154.
