My story

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

Metel is our adorable 4-year-old Labrador Retriever mix weighing 59 lbs.

Earlier this year, she was callously abandoned by her owner in Korea. When she joined our rescue center, she was overweight and feeling sad, and now our team has nursed her back to health and happiness! Metel has early hip dysplasia, which our vet checked out. She will need an adopter to carefully monitor her progress and ensure she doesn't take too many staircases or jump on and off high places.

On September 5th, 2024, Metel was one of 38 dogs who participated in the Guinness World Record challenge for the largest pack walk by a single person—and they successfully broke the record. Metel is truly a superstar! Check out the video here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C_iOpiCytFb/?img_index=1

More about this rescue

Korean K9 Rescue is a volunteer-driven No-Kill dog rescue organization based in Queens, New York and Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, South Korea As a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization, we transport homeless and mistreated dogs from South Korea and place them with loving forever families, primarily in New York City, Boston, and Los Angeles. Because of an unfortunate stigma surrounding mixed-breed dogs–and the dog meat trade that persists within the country–many dogs in South Korea are unlikely to be adopted at home and are in grave danger of being euthanized.

We believe that all dogs should be happy and free. With our partners in Korea, we are stepping in to help at-risk dogs live healthy, happy, long lives. Please join us in our mission!
