My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! My name is Midge, and I am Los Angeles! I was rescued from the dog meat trade in South Korea by the DoVE Project. My fate would have been to live in fear and distress, watching dogs being led to slaughter for human consumption. DoVE Project heard about me, and now I am looking for my forever family!
NAME: Midge
SEX/WEIGHT/AGE: female / 30lb / 11 months
BIRTH DATE: February 19, 2022
BREED: Jindo Mix
HEALTH: I'm spayed and up to date with all my shots.
BEHAVIOR: I love going for walks and sometimes get distracted by all the interesting smells. I love playing with toys. I was alone for a long time when I was a much younger puppy. I need some time to approach a person but I warm up pretty quickly. Once I warm up, I love being affectionate and playing with people and other dogs.
SIBLINGS/FAMILY: Rescued from same illegal dog meat farm as Abigail
BACKGROUND: I was rescued from an illegal dog meat farm that was shut down. Abigail and I were 2 of the 26 dogs that survived the dog meat farm.
ABOUT JINDOS
Jindos are known for their fierce loyalty, high intelligence, rarely barking, and playful nature. They make great indoor family dogs, as Jindos are clean and easily housetrained, and are faithful to family members. They are also mid-level active and love being socialized at dog parks, going on hikes, and joining the family on trips.
ABOUT SHELTER STRESS
Dogs who have lived in shelters for a long period of time develop behaviors due to an environment that is loud, chaotic, and stressful, even in best shelters in the US. Dogs in shelters have limited socialization exposure to people and urban environments. DoVE dogs also come from a traumatic background such as dog meat farms and slaughterhouses. While many of our dogs acclimate within a few months with consistency, structure, and patience, some of our more sensitive dogs can take longer to rehabilitate. It's important to note that these sensitive dogs are even more attuned to human emotions and behavior, making for a deeper connection human-dog connection. DoVE Project is committed to helping our adopters desensitize and socialize our dog meat trade survivors.
*********************************
DoVE Project operates a shelter in South Korea, where our dogs stay until they are matched with an adopter. In the US, our dogs stay in foster homes or in boarding, as we do not have a physical facility. These dogs are identified with "in LA" in their names.
Please note that we only adopt our pups in the Southern California area. Please check our website for more information regarding our adoption process, our mission, and adoption application: https://www.dove-project.org/adoption-process
