Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! My name is Avalon, 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!
ID/NAME: Avalon / CDT-24
SEX/WEIGHT/AGE: Female / 26 lbs. / 3 years old
BIRTH DATE: March 1, 2021
BREED: Jindo/spitz mix
VACCINATIONS/SPAY/NEUTER/HEALTH: Vaccinated / spayed / healthy
BEHAVIOR: Cheerful and playful Avalon will surely put a smile on your face when you meet her! Despite her difficult past, she quickly learned the kindness of people and has adapted well to her life in our rescue partner's shelter. She may be timid at first, but has come a long way in trusting new people. Avalon loves playing with other dogs. She prefers space away from other dogs while eating, likely due to prior food insecurity. This pup has overcome so much and is ready for her forever home!
SIBLINGS/FAMILY: Unknown
BACKGROUND: In November 2022, the rescue organization C'DT discovered Avalon surviving in horrid conditions at a former dog farm location. She was alone, chained in a fenced area, subsisting on only water and ramen crumbs. Clever Avalon survived by puting the ramen crumbs in her water bowl, but her condition was dire. She was severely malnourshed and suffered from various conditions, including weak hind legs, which have been successfully treated.
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 OUR DOGS
DoVE dogs 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
