My personality

My story

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

**Note: Currently, Sandy is in Korea, but will fly to SF upon adoption.

Background
Sandy was rescued early this summer after living a lonely and neglected life. She had been chained outside a small restaurant near our partner shelter in a rural town. The elderly restaurant owner said she “fed” Sandy once a week: just leftover scraps that were barely edible. When our shelter manager saw her, she couldn’t walk away. After several visits and gentle persuasion, the owner finally agreed to surrender Sandy to us.

Since then, Sandy has been living safely at our partner boarding house with other rescue dogs, where she’s been learning what love and care truly mean.

Personality & Socialization
Sandy is a gentle, sweet, and loving girl. She can be a little shy at first, but it doesn’t take her long to open up. Once she feels safe, she becomes very affectionate and enjoys being close to people. She’s friendly with both men and women and loves spending time with her humans.

Sandy also gets along well with other dogs, both big and small, as long as they are friendly and kind. She especially enjoys the company of gentle, playful dogs and fits in beautifully in a calm, social group.

Behaviours
Sandy has a medium energy level and a calm, balanced temperament. She’s easygoing, mature, and adaptable to new environments. She walks well on leash, as if she’s been trained before, and enjoys her outings quietly by your side.

She’s well-behaved during baths, car rides, and vet visits, and has shown no signs of separation anxiety or destructive behavior. Sandy is intelligent, obedient, and loyal. Truly a joy to care for.

Health & Diet
When rescued, Sandy tested positive for heartworms, sadly, not a surprise given her past living conditions. She received full treatment and has now completely recovered. Sandy is healthy and ready for her forever home.

She is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and on regular flea and tick prevention. She eats dry kibble twice a day and has shown no allergies.

Ideal Home
Sandy would do well in many kinds of homes. She’d be happy as an only dog, soaking up all the love and attention, or as a second dog alongside a gentle, friendly companion. Her easygoing nature makes her a wonderful match for someone looking for a calm, affectionate, and loyal companion.

After all she’s been through, Sandy deserves a home where she will finally be loved and cherished. Whoever adopts her will be truly 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.
