Story
Hi! I`m Turnip! I was very scared when I came to the shelter, but I`m learning to make new friends, both human and canine! I`m still a bit of a timid boy, and prefer to take my relationships slow--I`m not a kiss on the first date kind of guy! I think I would prefer a quiet home while I`m figuring out the world, but my friends at the shelter say I`m doing a really good job and even though they love me, they would love it even more if I were in a home. If you think you might want to be my new human, please come meet me, or email the shelter at animal.care@ventura.org for more information! Thanks!

Story
Meet Sunshine!  He is an 5 month old that was rescued from 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 horrific 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.   Many 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.  Sunshine and some of his 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 April 29, 2024, 1:07 am
