My personality

My story

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

**NOTE: Currently, Doson is in Korea, but we are looking for her forever home in Toronto. Her flight from Korea to Toronto is scheduled for Aug 25.

Background: Doson and her sister, Oson, were rescued from a neglectful situation where their owner kept them in a kennel and often left them without enough food or fresh water. A colleague persuaded the owner to give up the dogs, and they were eventually surrendered. They moved to our partner boarding house in the spring, where they received full vet checkups, vaccinations, spaying, and microchipping. Now, Doson is ready to find her forever home.

Personality and Socialization: Doson is calm and gentle with medium energy. She’s very friendly and isn’t shy around new people. She loves spending time with people and enjoys sitting on their laps. With her laid-back attitude and happy nature, she gets along well with everyone she meets.

Behaviors: Doson doesn’t have much experience walking on a leash, but she loves being outside and exploring with her nose. She’s very well-behaved and patient, even though she’s still young. She’s comfortable with baths and grooming and does okay in the car, though she might get a little nervous. She’s adaptable and eager to learn new things. Despite her age, she’s not demanding or destructive. She’s pretty quiet indoors and rarely barks.

Health and Diet: Doson has completed all her medical exams and is in great health, ready for her new family. She’s vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, and receives regular parasite treatments. Doson enjoys Acana dry kibble, which she eats twice a day. She currently has no known allergies.

Ideal Home: Doson would do best with a family where someone works from home or is retired and has plenty of time to spend with her. She’s perfect for anyone looking for a sweet and easygoing companion. She’s very loving and easy to care for.

More about this rescue

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.
