Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Bella is 4 years old and 25 lbs. F
Bella and her son Happy were raised by one owner for four years. Despite those years together, the owner threatened to sell Bella and Happy to the dog farm or euthanize them since early 2018, because he didn't want to deal with their shedding and taking them out for walks. Thankfully, our volunteers in Korea were able to intercept and rescue Bella and Happy before anything unfortunate happened.
Bella loves people and has an adorable personality. She is not a huge fan of the hot weather and closed-in spaces. Overall, Bella is a calm, quiet lady who enjoys her time laying around next to you. We would love to find a loving home for our sweet Bella soon, since she is overwhelmed with the large number of dogs she has to live with at the shelter. She is very friendly dog like little princess and gets along with other dogs. but can be a little testy if they are pushy with her. She would thrive as an only-dog.
Bella is UTD on her shots and is spayed. Her adoption fee is $350.
*Bella is currently in Korea. We transport our dogs after an adopter has been secured, so unfortunately, we do not provide meet and greets. Instead, we do our best to provide as much description, pictures and videos as possible.
*** We typically do not adopt to homes with children under 8 years old. A home check is mandatory before adoption. We adopt to residents of Northern VA and Washington DC suburbs only. Applicants must be at least 24 years old. ***
If you would like to adopt her, please fill out our online application at https://sites.google.com/view/donghaepaws/. An HDP volunteer will reach out for more information after a careful review of your application. Please understand this may take few days. Thank you!
Prior to rescue, many of our dogs have experienced minimal socialization and it takes time for them to learn about life as a family pet. Common skills such as house training and leash walking may often take a little extra time. Patience, understanding and a gentle hand are a must. The great news is, most of these dogs come around rather quickly and being a part of their rehabilitation is an extremely rewarding experience.
*** About us ***
Hope For Donghae Paws(HDP) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to bringing rescue dogs from Korea to the US and finding permanent homes for them. It is true there are many animal lovers in Korea, but still many dogs suffer and are killed for food.
Our mission is to find US homes for mixed-breed dogs whose chances of being adopted in their native Korea are very low.
