Story
Meet Ddang-Kong He is the sweetest boyl! He is a 3 year old that was rescued from a kill shelter before heading to a dog meat farm in South Korea.  We have partners we work with there that pull these dogs from the worst horrors imaginable.  Many of these dogs start off in horiffic puppy mill type facilities on tiny rabbit cage size wire crates in complete filth.  If they are not sold at 6 or 8 weeks then they either stay for a couple years to be used to breed more and then are sold off to the meat trade, or they are sold off right away.  Jindo's and Tosa's are the most common meat type dogs, and are very commonly bred specifically for their meat and the meat farms also act as breeding farms until they reach a good age and weight. South Korea is one of the only countries that actually farms dogs for their meat.   Restaurants will serve a dish called " bosintang ", which stands for "dog meat soup". It's a popular dish in South  Korea,  and is said to act as an aphrodisiac for men.    Little dogs are used for elixirs and potions.  The younger generation is mostly against this practice and many choose to not eat them, and we can only hope in time with education and generations of change that an end will come to this horrific trade. Ddang-Kong and some of his family and friends have been flown here for a chance at a future and a real life.  These are miracle dogs that they are alive today.  Our adoption fee is $600 which helps offset some of the flight costs.  If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application form at  https://form.jotform.com/oscarlucy/dog-adoption-app October 7, 2026, 6:54 pm

Story
COURTESY LISTING- Please contact the name and number at the bottom if you want more information or to meet Buddy and Brownie!   A Loving Home Needed for Brownie & Buddy  Sometimes loving your pets means making a very difficult decision with their happiness and well-being at the center of it. We adopted both dogs several years ago and life has changed significantly and we don't feel we can provide for them.   We are looking for a special, loving foster or long-term home for Brownie and Buddy , two wonderful dogs who were adopted together approximately four years ago and have become incredibly close companions. Our greatest hope is to find a family who can keep them together and give them the love, attention, activity and companionship they deserve. Brownie “Foxy” is approximately 5 years old, a beautiful Korean Jindo mix weighing about 27 pounds. She is energetic, playful, outgoing and adventurous. Brownie loves being active, exploring and being part of whatever is happening around her. She is spayed and up to date on her vaccinations. Buddy Garson is approximately 7 years old, a 20-pound Goldendoodle mix of am not mistaken, with an incredibly sweet and affectionate personality. Buddy loves people, being held, cuddling and simply being close to you. He is neutered and also up to date on his vaccinations. They complement each other beautifully — Brownie brings the adventure and Buddy brings the cuddles.  They have shared a home, a family and a life together for years, and keeping that bond intact is very important to us. As a single father working full-time, I have reached the difficult realization that I am no longer able to give these two loving dogs the time and attention they truly deserve. This is not a decision being made lightly. They are very much loved members of our family, especially by my twins. Ideally, we would love to find a caring foster family or permanent home that would be open, when possible, to allowing my children an occasional opportunity to visit Brownie and Buddy and remain connected to them. That would mean a great deal to our family, but most importantly, we want to find the right home where both dogs will be safe, loved and happy together. If you or someone you know has room in their home and heart for these two wonderful companions, please reach out. Please contact David at (310) 925-1400       October 7, 2026, 6:54 pm
