My story

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

Meet Finnegan in LA– Stunning, Sweet & So Ready for Love!

Finnegan, rescued from a local LA shelter, was intended to be on our Freedom Flight to Minnesota after the LA wildfires, but a last-minute medical treatment meant he had to stay behind. Now fully healed, this beautiful boy is ready and waiting for his forever home in Los Angeles.

And here’s the truth: Finnegan risks getting overlooked. Why? Because he’s a black dog with a “Staffy look”—two things that unfairly work against even the best dogs.

But in person? He’s a total heart-stealer. Sweet, affectionate, and always ready to give kisses. At just 1 year old and 27 lbs, Finnegan is the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. He loves people, enjoys attention, and would likely be happiest as your one-and-only pup.

He’s healthy, vaccinated, and recently neutered—ready to go home today.

If you’re looking for a dog who will adore you endlessly, please don’t scroll past this hidden gem. Finnegan deserves to be seen. He deserves a chance.

******************************
ABOUT SHELTER STRESS
Dogs who have lived in shelters for a long period develop behaviors due to an environment that is loud, chaotic, and stressful, even in the 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 dogs acclimate within a few months with consistency, structure, and patience, some 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 human-dog connection.

More about this rescue

DoVE Project (Dogs of Violence Exposed) is a 501(c)3 animal welfare, rights and protection organization. As our name is clearly stated, our aim is to end the Dog Meat Trade in S. Korea and other parts of the world where the dogs are slaughtered for human consumption. The condition in which these dogs are raised, bred and slaughtered is extremely brutal and inhumane. We rescue these dogs from dog farms, slaughterhouses, or dogs destined to enter into dog meat trade or be slaughtered to be eaten. Many female dogs that are rescued from the farms/slaughter houses are pregnant and oftentimes their puppies are brought to USA for adoption. Part of our campaign to end the DMT in Korea is rescue work in parallel in conjunction with our campaign to raise awareness and education within Korea.
