My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I am IN SOUTH KOREA waiting to be matched to a home in Los Angeles! 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!
BEHAVIOR: Jennifer answers best to Maisie! She is a sweet and affectionate little Maltipoo. Maisie warms up right away! She has learned to express her affection by giving kisses and burrowing herself into your arms. She loves beginning the day with Zoomies and going out for walks during the day. When things settle down, she's very happy to dig into a fluffy blanket and cuddle up for a nap or two.
SIBLINGS/FAMILY: Unknown
BACKGROUND: Rescued from a slaughterhouse in Namyangju, South Korea.
ABOUT SHELTER STRESS
Dogs who have lived in shelters for long periods of time develop behaviors due to an environment that is loud, chaotic, and stressful, even in the 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.
Please note that we only adopt our pups in the Southern California area. Please check our website for more information regarding our adoption process, our mission, and adoption application: https://www.dove-project.org/adoption-process
