My story

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

**NOTE: Rover is currently in Korea, awaiting his forever family. Upon adoption, he will be lovingly transported to his new home.
------------------------------

Rover and his sibling were rescued from the streets of a small village in Paju, Korea last winter. After being sent to a city pound, he was fortunately saved from being euthanized and has been living with a loving foster family ever since.

Rover may be shy around new people at first, but don’t let that fool you – he is actually a very sweet and affectionate dog once he has had the chance to warm up to his humans. Going on walks is one of his favorite activities, and he gets just as excited about meeting and playing with other dogs he comes across along the way. Although he may be a bit hesitant around strangers on the streets, Rover is generally a friendly and sociable pup who loves making new friends.

Rover is ok with bathing, car riding, and trimming nails and so far has not shown separation anxiety.

He would thrive in a home where his new owner either works from home or is retired and resides in a tranquil and calm neighborhood. If there is already a furry sibling for him to play with, that would be the cherry on top. With proper care, affection, and patience, Rover has the potential to become an exceptionally devoted and affectionate companion to his new adopter.

More about this rescue

Free Korean Dogs (FKD) is a registered charity in Canada (BN:80580 0166RR0001).

Founded in Toronto, Canada on July 1st, 2015, our organization rescues dogs from Korea’s dog meat trade and other at-risk circumstances and finds their forever-loving homes in Canada and the US.

Millions of dogs are slaughtered for meat consumption in Korea every year. Most of them are kept in tiny, overcrowded cages in dog meat farms provided no water or shelter from the elements, and given only scraps of waste to eat. It is also common practice for dogs to be brutally tortured before slaughter as it is believed to enhance flavor and nutritional healing properties, despite an overwhelming lack of evidence to support these claims.

Korea is the only country in the world that commercially farms dogs for food. The lack of legislation regulating the Korean dog meat trade results in the lack of standards for safety or humane treatment. Simply speaking, dogs can be obtained by any means, whether stray or farmed and treated in unfathomable inhumane manners without consequence. The dog meat trade in Korea is a legislative gray area and political landmine that nobody in power wants to address.

Our international rescue and adoption program saves over hundreds of dogs each year from the Korean dog meat trade and finds their homes in Canada. Since 2015, we have shut down two dog meat farm operations, rescued over two hundred dogs from the dog meat trade, and found forever homes for over seven hundred dogs rescued from euthanasia or the risk of being forced into the meat trade.

We also promote public awareness to create a cultural shift from cruelty to compassion for dogs in Korea through campaigns, protests, and events. Through rescue, rehabilitation, and education, we hope one day all dogs and animals can lead peaceful and happy lives.
