My story

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

**Note: Guzzi is in a foster home in Pickering, ON

Background:
Guzzi was rescued from a dog meat farm in Ganghwa, Korea, alongside 50 other dogs in December 2022. She lived at our boarding house with other dogs until she left Korea. Curerntly, she lives with another dog in a foster home in Pickering, ON.

Personality and Socialization:
Guzzi is a calm, gentle girl with a medium energy level. Initially a bit shy, Guzzi warms up quickly with a little patience.

She has a gentle, laid-back nature and has been a well-behaved girl at the boarding house. Once she gets to know you, she becomes very friendly and affectionate. She enjoys being around people but isn’t demanding—when left alone, she waits patiently and remains calm.

She gets along well with other dogs, particularly those with a friendly and easygoing nature. She’s respectful of boundaries and understands when another dog needs space, waiting patiently without pushing. Guzzi has not been tested with cats or young children.

Behavior and Training:
Indoors, Guzzi is quiet and well-mannered, making her an easy companion. She handles car rides, vet visits, and even baths with patience—though she may feel a little nervous at first, she looks to her humans for reassurance. On walks, she follows her humans well but may feel a bit nervous in unfamiliar environments.

With her affectionate and trusting nature, Guzzi thrives in a calm environment where she feels secure and loved.

Health and Diet:
Guzzi is in good health—she’s fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped, with clear parasite tests, including heartworm. She takes monthly parasite prevention and eats dry kibble twice a day with no known allergies.

Ideal Home:
Guzzi’s gentle and adaptable personality makes her a good fit for many types of homes. Whether she’s the only dog, or part of a family with another canine companion.

She would love a home where she can enjoy leisurely walks and cozy moments with her family.

Having waited two years for a place to call her own, Guzzi is ready to begin her new life. After surviving the cruelty of the dog meat trade, she deserves the warmth of a loving home where she will be cherished. Whoever adopts this loving girl would be very lucky.

More about this rescue

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.
