My story

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

Meet Jjong!

This 10-month-old, 42-lb Jindo mix was rescued from Siheung City Center and is a sweet, gentle soul learning to navigate the world.

Inside Jjong is calm, shy, and a bit timid. She takes her time exploring, then settles either in her crate or just outside the bedroom door. She always eats and drinks while lying down, taking treats with the softest touch. She even picks treats from her snuffle mat one by one before returning to her spot to enjoy them.

Outside Jjong walks nicely but is still a little scared of new surroundings. She watches the train go by, seeming a bit unsure, but her curiosity shines through. With patience and love, she’s sure to build confidence with each day in the city.

Plus, her adorable scruffy face and long fur give her the cutest little beard!
Could you be the one to show Jjong the world at her own pace?

I qualify for the Jindo Journey Training Stipend! Starting March 1st, adopters of Jindo mixes (25+ lbs) will receive a $300 training stipend for two professional sessions, helping them adjust and thrive in their new home. Learn more here.

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!
