Story
Nana was rescued from a high kill shelter located in Incheon, Korea. She came to us fearful of people and other animals, suggesting that she might have endured difficult experience at a young age. She was weak, dehydrated and suffering from malnutrition. Thanks to our foster mom, Nana made huge improvements and ready to meet her family. We are looking for a family who will continue to provide proper training. PLEASE NOTE: All of our recently rescued dogs are currently fostered in Seoul, Korea by our volunteers. Our adoption process may be stricter than any other rescue organization as these rescued dogs are traveling over 5500 miles to be with their new permanent family. You must be at least 25 years old to be considered an overseas adopter. For serious inquiries only. Please note, we monitor all pets after adoption. We prefer adopters that are active on any of the social media accounts. Thank you!

Story
Meet Hey, a one-year-old spayed female Poodle-Bichon mix with a soft cream coat and a heart ready to bloom. Weighing in at just 5kg, Hey was rescued from a breeding facility in Geoje and has come a long way since. Once fearful of people and unsure of human touch, she’s now blossoming with those who take the time to earn his trust. These days, she’ll happily take treats from your hand and even trot over to say hello once she feels comfortable. While she might run off when you try to pick her up, she doesn’t resist once he’s in your arms—she settles in calmly, making her a gentle cuddle buddy. She’s also wonderfully behaved for grooming and bath time. Hey is a total social butterfly when it comes to other dogs. She loves meeting new canine friends, no matter their size, and will often approach them with friendly tail wags and an invitation to play. Having another dog in the home would be a huge help in her adjustment to family life, especially since she’s never known life without doggy companionship. She hasn’t been tested with cats yet, but based on her easy-going nature, she may very well be able to live peacefully with feline friends too. With a moderate energy level, Hey enjoys the outdoors but knows how to relax and recharge afterwards. She’s currently learning how to walk on a leash—right now, she tends to freeze up when it’s clipped on, so she’ll need some patient guidance. She’s not possessive with food, whether it’s around people or other dogs, and is used to both indoor pee pad training and outdoor potty time. Because she’s never lived without other dogs around, she may experience some separation anxiety, and she does tend to bark a little when meeting unfamiliar people out of fear. But with love, time, and gentle encouragement, Hey has all the potential to grow into a confident and affectionate companion. All she needs is a patient family ready to cheer her on through this next chapter of her life. View more photos and videos on Facebook: Link to Post Does Hey sound like the right companion for you? Send in your application today here or through our website:adoptmekoreanrescue.org/adoption-application/ AKR dogs can arrive at Vancouver or Toronto airport and may be able to arrive at some US airports (Seattle, LA, NY, Boston, etc) where we have flight volunteers.

Story
Mr. Cloud is about 18 month old, and weights about 20lbs. He is extremely loving, playful and smart. Knows how to fetch, and sit without any proper training. He is also potty trained and leash trained and will walk with you like a champ. Purchased from a breeder as a puppy for $1,000. Saw the mom and dad in person and they are both Bichon Frise just like him. Full transparency. Just took him to the vet, he is healthy and blood work comes back normal but: 1. He does either have flees or have some allergies, which make him itch, but can be controlled with proper diet. Right now he is not itchy after receiving flee and allergy medicine. 2. He has separation anxiety, and will whimper loudly when you are away. 3. He is not neutered. (Rehome fee can be 100% refunded to you upon completion of neuter) The fluffy picture is him when he was 3 month old and have his furs brushed out. So he can look the part!

Please see the link for her rescue video. Sassy is slow to trust, we like to say that she doesn’t kiss on the first date. But once she is given a little time and space, she is very loyal, affectionate and flirty. She seems to warm to men faster than women. We prefer an adult home, no kids. She can be spicy so we wouldn’t want to risk children not reading her body language. No health issues, no allergies. Good on leash and in the car. Good with the groomer.

Meet Miro! He's a vey handsome playful sweet guy! He is a 2 year old that was rescued from a breeding farm before heading to a dog meat farm in South Korea. We have partners we work with there that pull these dogs from the worst horrors imaginable. Many of these dogs start off in horrific puppy mill type facilities on tiny rabbit cage size wire crates in complete filth. If they are not sold at 6 or 8 weeks then they either stay for a couple years to be used to breed more and then are sold off to the meat trade, or they are sold off right away. Jindo's and Tosa's are the most common meat type dogs, and are very commonly bred specifically for their meat and the meat farms also act as breeding farms until they reach a good age and weight. South Korea is one of the only countries that actually farms dogs for their meat. Many restaurants will serve a dish called " bosintang ", which stands for "dog meat soup". It's a popular dish in South Korea, and is said to act as an aphrodisiac for men. Little dogs are used for elixirs and potions. The younger generation is mostly against this practice and many choose to not eat them, and we can only hope in time with education and generations of change that an end will come to this horrific trade. Miro and some of his friends have been flown here for a chance at a future and a real life. These are miracle dogs that they are alive today. Our adoption fee is $600 which helps offset some of the flight costs.

Bichon Frise fun facts

Fun Facts:

Bichon Frise is French for "curly lap dog."

In the 1800s, Bichon Frises were mainly street and circus dogs, accompanying organ grinders or entertaining passers-by. In the 1930s, they experienced a resurgence in popularity and became an official breed.

French royalty were so obsessed with pampering their Bichon Frises (adorning them with ribbons, lion mane cuts, and perfume) that it led to the word "bichonner," meaning "to pamper.
