My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Location: Korea



Follow the yellow brick road to meet Dorthey, a brave and resilient pup just like her namesake from the iconic Wizard of Oz! Dorthey's journey hasn't been easy as she was left in a rural residential area, facing hunger and extreme weather conditions. Living on a short leash, she's a bit timid around leashes, but that doesn't stop her from enjoying the wonders of the world.



This sweet girl adores going on walks and finds pure bliss in taking refreshing baths. When she's not out exploring, Dorthey loves to rest on her knees, enjoying every moment of comfort. But wait, there's more to her enchanting story! Dorthey is a ball enthusiast! The moment she spots a ball, she's enchanted by its spell and can't resist playing with it.



Social and friendly with other dogs, Dorthey's calm and quiet demeanor indoors makes her a delightful companion. However, she does have a unique requirement - a careful diet. She's allergic to greasy food, so her food choices need to be handled with care. Greasy food might bring tears to her eyes, but it won't dampen her spirits!



Dorthey's courage and resilience shine through, even as she bears the marks of her past like a true Jindo dog from Korea. We know that behind that beautiful exterior lies an even more beautiful soul, just waiting to find a loving forever home.

ALL adoptions require a completed application and final contract. The application can be found at  WaldosRescue.org  and once you are approved to adopt you will be put in touch with the foster to see if it’s a good match. We are a RESCUE not a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We are unable to contact every applicant for every dog.  We will select the best applicant for each dog, based on the dogs needs.



Waldos Rescue Pen is a 501c3 whose primary focus is rescuing dogs from the euthanasia list from high kill shelters throughout the United States.
