Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! My name is Piglet, and I am IN SOUTH KOREA waiting to be matched to a home in 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!
ID/NAME:CD22-014 / Piglet
SEX/WEIGHT/AGE: Male / 14lbs / 5 months
BIRTH DATE: May 01, 2022
BREED: Jindo mix
VACCINATIONS/SPAY/NEUTER/HEALTH: All vaccines up to date. Neutering will take place end of October 2022 while still in South Korea.
BEHAVIOR: Relationships with people: Piglet is very playful and will engages for play with anyone that comes around as well as his littermates. He loves getting pets and attention.
SIBLINGS/FAMILY: Part of the Winnie the Pooh litter: Christopher, Robin, Winnie, Kanga, Eeyore, and Roo.
BACKGROUND: Piglet's mom is one of two female guard dogs. These guard dogs often get pregnant and end up giving birth to many puppies. These puppies often get sent to traders. The rescuers were able to convince that owners of the guard dogs to spay them and give them the puppies in exchange for paying for the spays, kibble, and dog houses for the guard dogs. Piglet and his littermates are the end of a vicious cycle.
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.
