Background: Rescued from a high-kill shelter in Korea, Susu’s story began when she was surrendered by her previous owner, who found her too small to serve as a guard dog. Fortunately, she was rescued just in time and brought to a loving family in Toronto, Canada. This family, having previously adopted another Jindo dog, Poky, in 2018, welcomed Susu into their home on Christmas Eve, 2020. Susu enjoyed a wonderful life with them until a newborn baby developed severe allergies to dogs, leading the family to make the difficult decision to surrender both dogs.
Together Forever: Susu and Poky are very close to each other. Poky, the more reserved of the two, complements Susu’s outgoing and playful nature. Together, they form a well-balanced duo. While we hope to find a home where they can stay together, and offer a special adoption fee of $780 for both, we are also open to applicants interested in adopting them individually.
Personality and Socialization: Susu is sociable, friendly, and thrives around people with medium energy levels. She’s playful and active, yet possesses a mellow, affectionate demeanor, making her the perfect companion for families.
Behaviors: An enthusiast of the outdoors, Susu enjoys walks and is comfortable during car rides and bath times. Indoors, she is calm and composed. Always greeting you with excitement, she adapts to your pace—playful when you are and quiet when you’re busy. Susu’s love for fetch and her welcoming nature will surely bring joy to any family.
Health: Susu is in excellent health, having recently undergone a comprehensive veterinary examination, including a dental checkup, parasite and heartworm testing, and blood work. Susu is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations.
Ideal Home: Susu thrives in a loving environment where she can be active and engage with her family. She is perfect for someone who enjoys outdoor activities and has plenty of time to spend with her. Ideally, Susu would love to stay with her sister Poky, as they provide comfort and companionship to each other. However, individual adoptions are also welcome.
Susu’s resilience and affectionate nature make her ready to be a loving part of her new forever home. Could that be with you?
Susu is available for adoption. The fee to adopt Susu is $780.

Free Korean Dogs (FKD) is a registered charity in Canada (BN:80580 0166RR0001).
Founded in Toronto, Canada on July 1st, 2015, our organizations rescue dogs from Korea’s dog meat trade and other at-risk circumstances and find their forever loving homes in Canada and the US.
Millions of dogs are slaughtered for meat consumption in Korea every year. Most of them are kept in tiny, overcrowded cages in dog meat farms and provided no water or shelter from the elements, and given only scraps of waste to eat. It is also common practice for dogs to be brutally tortured prior to slaughter as it is believed to enhance flavor and nutritional healing properties, despite an overwhelming lack evidence to support these claims.
Korea is the only country in the world that commercially farms dogs for food. Lack of legislation regulating the Korean dog meat trade result in the lack of standards for safety or humane treatment. Simply speaking, dogs can be obtained by any means, whether stray or farmed, and treated in unfathomable inhumane manners without consequence. The dog meat trade in Korea is a legislative gray area and political landmine that nobody in power wants to address.
Our international rescue and adoption program saves over hundreds of dogs each year from the Korean dog meat trade and finds their homes in Canada. Since 2015, we have shut down two dog meat farm operations, rescued over two hundreds dogs from the dog meat trade, and found forever homes for over seven hundreds dogs rescued from euthanasia or the risk of being forced into the meat trade.
We also promote public awareness to create a cultural shift from cruelty to compassion for dogs in Korea through campaigns, protests, and events. Through rescue, rehabilitation, and education, we hope one day all dogs and animals can lead peaceful and happy lives.
