My story

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

**COCO - a victim of the war in Israel. Although outside our usual mission, we are compelled to help with her rescue to safety. Coco’s transportation costs are being sponsored by her rescuer in Israel.

ID/NAME: DV24-016 / Coco
SEX/WEIGHT/AGE: Female/45lbs/11months
BIRTH DATE: 9/30/23
BREED: Australian Shepherd Mix
VACCINATIONS/SPAY/NEUTER: Up-to-date vaccinations, spayed and overall healthy

Hi! My name is Coco, and I am IN ISRAEL waiting to find my forever home in Los Angeles! My siblings and I were born in Israel and found huddled together, living in terror shortly after the war started. A rescuer brought us into her home where we found love and safety. She saw that I had been injured and took me to a vet who determined that my left hind leg needed to be amputated. Thankfully, I have fully recovered and am very healthy.

One by one, my siblings found their forever homes. All except me. I am told because I am missing a leg, it will take a little longer to find that special person to adopt me even though I recovered so well and have no complications! The veterinarian says nothing is wrong with my back leg and that many tripod dogs live happy lively lives. You should see me run and play with other dogs!! I am patiently waiting for my forever family. I know you’re out there. Will you be that special person for me?

I would love to be free from the sounds of loud sirens and rockets. Lately, there have been many rocket blasts where my foster and I live. When we hear a siren, my foster has to quickly run to the nearest shelter for safety. She has two senior dogs of her own, so it is hard for her to take me as a third dog. I begin to tremble when I hear that sound and see her worried face as she closes the door, leaving me alone. I am in a complete panic when she returns. My foster always patiently calms me and tells me everything will be ok. And then it happens again and again…..

Behaviour:
Coco is very friendly, she lives here with two other dogs and a cat. Her rescuer has taken her to a trainer for the last 4 months. Coco is house-trained and walks well on a leash. She also knows how to sit, lay, and give a paw.

Because she has to rely on her three legs, she will need a home where she is not expected to go on extended hikes. Coco is mostly quiet around the house but playful with the other dogs and kids.

*********************************
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 our adoption application: https://www.dove-project.org/adoption-process

More about this rescue

DoVE Project (Dogs of Violence Exposed) is a 501(c)3 animal welfare, rights and protection organization. As our name is clearly stated, our aim is to end the Dog Meat Trade in S. Korea and other parts of the world where the dogs are slaughtered for human consumption. The condition in which these dogs are raised, bred and slaughtered is extremely brutal and inhumane. We rescue these dogs from dog farms, slaughterhouses, or dogs destined to enter into dog meat trade or be slaughtered to be eaten. Many female dogs that are rescued from the farms/slaughter houses are pregnant and oftentimes their puppies are brought to USA for adoption. Part of our campaign to end the DMT in Korea is rescue work in parallel in conjunction with our campaign to raise awareness and education within Korea.
