Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! My name is Gigi, and I am waiting to be adopted by my forever family! 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: CARE24-016
SEX/WEIGHT/AGE: Female / 14 lbs / 5 months (as of Nov. 1, 2024)
BIRTH DATE: June 1, 2024
BEHAVIOR: Gigi quickly warms up and gains confidence with new people. She loves people and does well with other dogs. She likes to savor her meals slowly and prefers her own space while she's eating.
SIBLINGS/FAMILY: Bella (sister)
BACKGROUND: Gigi and her sister Bella were rescued from a mentally ill person who kept them in the mountains and allegedly subjected them to abuse.
ABOUT SHELTER STRESS
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
