**Note: Samdol is currently in Korea, but will fly to Toronto on once adopted.
Background:
Imagine a sweet, gentle soul, rescued from a dog meat farm, now ready to fill your life with quiet companionship and unwavering loyalty. That’s Samdol. In May 2022, we discovered this beautiful boy at a dog meat farm in Siheung, Korea, one of 101 lucky dogs saved that day. While his past left him understandably traumatized and fearful, his gentle nature shone through even then.
The first two years after his rescue, Samdol lived in our boarding house, slowly learning to feel safe. Recognizing his potential, we enrolled him in training school for a year, and he blossomed! He graduated, a testament to his resilience and his desire to connect. He currently lives at our boarding house with other dogs, waiting for his forever home.
Personality and Socialization:
Samdol is a wonderfully gentle, submissive, and quiet boy with medium energy. He’s a great player with other dogs, large and small, puppies and seniors. He’s mindful and never pushy or aggressive in his interactions. While he’s a little shy with new people, Samdol’s love of treats makes it easy to gain his trust and affection. Once he warms up, he is sweet, gentle, and friendly, and very easy to care for.
Behaviours:
Samdol is pretty easy-going and low-maintenance. He’s non-destructive and doesn’t bark. He enjoys relaxing, often sitting quietly to watch the world go by. He loves his playtime with other dogs. He handles car rides, baths, and vet visits well, accepting them with quiet grace. He walks well on a leash and enjoys outdoor time, though he can be a little nervous in new environments.
Health and Diet:
When rescued, Samdol had severe skin diseases, but he has fully recovered and is now healthy. He is up-to-date on his vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered, and receives monthly parasite prevention. He eats dry food twice a day and has shown no allergies. He does have some worn front teeth from chewing the wires when he was at the dog farm, but our veterinarian has confirmed this doesn’t affect his health. He will undergo a dental checkup one more time before he leaves Korea.
Ideal Home:
His ideal home is with someone who has experience with dogs, especially rescue dogs. While Samdol is incredibly gentle and sweet, patience and guidance in a new environment will help him settle in. A quiet home, where his people are often present and appreciate a loving dog companion, would be perfect. He would thrive in a single-person household just as well as in a family setting. This amazing boy has been through so much; we want his forever home to be one where he is spoiled with love and lives a wonderful, happy life. Samdol is a very charming, cute, goofy, and lovely boy. With the right family, he will shine, and his adopter will feel so lucky to have him in their life.

Free Korean Dogs is a registered charity founded in 2015 with the mission to rescue, rehabilitate and find forever-loving homes for dogs saved from the Korean dog meat trade.
We divide our mission across three basic pillars: rescue, adopt, and engage. Since 2015, we’ve made huge advances in all three areas, shutting down three dog meat farm operations, facilitating the adoption of 1,800 rescue dogs, and launching Freedom Walk, our annual event to raise public awareness about the Korean dog meat trade:
RESCUE
Our organization has made significant strides in rescuing dogs from the dog meat trade, high-kill shelters and other high-risk conditions in Korea. We shut down dog meat farms and liberated over 500 dogs from unbearable suffering and despair.
ADOPT
Through our unwavering commitment, we have found forever-loving homes for more than 1,800 dogs rescued from brutal circumstances. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to rehabilitate these animals and find them a new life filled with love and care.
ENGAGE
Our mission extends beyond rescue and adoption; we are dedicated to building a compassionate community. Through educational campaigns and events, we engage with individuals and organizations to create a cultural shift from cruelty to compassion.
