My story

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

Hi! My name is Lilly, and I am IN LOS ANGELES looking for my forever home! I was rescued from the dog meat trade in South Korea by the DoVE Project. My fate would have been to live in fear and distress, watching dogs being led to slaughter for human consumption. DoVE Project heard about me, and now I am looking for my forever family!

More about me
BREED: Jindo mix
AGE: 2 years 2 months (DOB 11/5/19).
WEIGHT: About 33 pounds
HEALTH: Up to date with all my shots and spayed
BEHAVIOR: Shy with humans and friendly with dogs
BACKGROUND: Lilly came from a small dog meat farm that one our activist partners had been trying to close for some time. The farmer just didn't want to give it up and continued to breed and sell. However, our activist was finally able to convince him to surrender a litter of puppies—Lilly and her siblings. All of Lilly's siblings were adopted except for Lilly, and the activist asked Dove Project to sponsor Lilly, and we immediately transported her to the US. Lilly is currently living with a wonderful foster family, who has been helping her adjust to her new life in the US.

ABOUT JINDOS
Jindos are known for their fierce loyalty, high intelligence, rarely barking, and playful nature. They make great indoor family dogs, as Jindos are clean and easily housetrained, and are faithful to family members. They are also mid-level active and love being socialized at dog parks, going on hikes, and joining the family on trips.

ABOUT SHELTER STRESS
Dogs who have lived in shelters for a long period of time develop behaviors due to an environment that is loud, chaotic, and stressful, even in best shelters in the US. Dogs in shelters have limited socialization exposure to people and urban environments. DoVE dogs also come from a traumatic background such as dog meat farms and slaughterhouses. While many of our dogs acclimate within a few months with consistency, structure, and patience, some of our more sensitive dogs can take longer to rehabilitate. It's important to note that these sensitive dogs are even more attuned to human emotions and behavior, making for a deeper connection human-dog connection. DoVE Project is committed to helping our adopters desensitize and socialize our dog meat trade survivors.

*********************************
DoVE Project operates a shelter in South Korea, where our dogs stay until they are matched with an adopter. In the US, our dogs stay in foster homes or in boarding, as we do not have a physical facility. These dogs are identified with "in LA" in their names.
