My story

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

** Note: Siweol is available for adoption in Vancouver. Her flight from Korea to Vancouver is scheduled for Mar 1, 2023.

Last winter, Siweol was found in an old, empty house in a small village. She was in rough shape with a broken leg. Thankfully, she got surgery at a hospital and recovered well.

After her rescue, Siweol spent three months in a foster home in Cheolwon before joining us last May. She was shy at first, but she soon started to feel more comfortable.

Siweol now shares her room with small dogs. She's gentle, sweet, and very playful, getting along wonderfully with other dogs. She adores playing with small, gentle dogs, showing her kind and friendly nature.

When she meets new people, she's a little shy to start with, but she quickly gets friendly. She's smart, loving, and likes people she knows.

Siweol is great at walking on a leash and really loves her walks. She's also good in the car, handling car rides well. When it comes to baths, she's patient and waits calmly until it's over.

The ideal home for Siweol would be with someone who already has a friendly dog. She enjoys playing with other dogs and feels more comfortable around them. A home in a peaceful area would be perfect for Siweol.

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 organizations rescue dogs from Korea’s dog meat trade and other at-risk circumstances and find 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 and 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 prior to slaughter as it is believed to enhance flavor and nutritional healing properties, despite an overwhelming lack evidence to support these claims.

Korea is the only country in the world that commercially farms dogs for food. Lack of legislation regulating the Korean dog meat trade result 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 hundreds dogs from the dog meat trade, and found forever homes for over seven hundreds 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.
