My story

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

Meet Minju – A Gentle Soul Born from a Story of Survival
Minju was born under heartbreaking circumstances. Her mother was one of several dogs left behind on a meat farm after the owner became too ill to care for them. Starving and abandoned, many of the dogs didn’t survive. Fortunately, her pregnant mother was rescued just in time and gave birth to six puppies — including Minju — in the back of a moving car on the way to safety. Now, this sweet girl is ready to find the love and peace she deserves.

She’s ready to leave behind her painful beginnings and step into a future filled with kindness, safety, and affection.
