WE RESCUED A DOG! Hi, everyone! It's been a busy couple of weeks! Haha It's really difficult for foreigners to adopt animals in Japan, but we got lucky with some help from our friend Micaela (link to her channel below).

There was a big puppy mill closure in Fukuoka, Japan (our city) and we contacted wanting to help. When we asked our landlord about fostering a dog, he didn't really understand so we ended up adopting instead!

In this video, I discuss the issues foreigners face adopting in Japan, the adoption process we went through, and more! I also introduce and show a ton of home videos on our new Japanese Spitz Khione (named after the Greek goddess of snow). And talk about her progress with us during our first week together! I hope your as excited about our new family member as we are! (^_^)
