Story
Meet Leo! He is the sweetest most adorable boyl! He is a 4 year old that was rescued from a breeding farm before heading to a dog meat farm in South Korea.  We have partners we work with there that pull these dogs from the worst horrors imaginable.  Many of these dogs start off in horiffic puppy mill type facilities on tiny rabbit cage size wire crates in complete filth.  If they are not sold at 6 or 8 weeks then they either stay for a couple years to be used to breed more and then are sold off to the meat trade, or they are sold off right away.  Jindo's and Tosa's are the most common meat type dogs, and are very commonly bred specifically for their meat and the meat farms also act as breeding farms until they reach a good age and weight. South Korea is one of the only countries that actually farms dogs for their meat.   Many restaurants will serve a dish called " bosintang ", which stands for "dog meat soup". It's a popular dish in South  Korea,  and is said to act as an aphrodisiac for men.    Little dogs are used for elixirs and potions.  The younger generation is mostly against this practice and many choose to not eat them, and we can only hope in time with education and generations of change that an end will come to this horrific trade.  Leo and some of his family and friends have been flown here for a chance at a future and a real life.  These are miracle dogs that they are alive today.  Our adoption fee is $600 which helps offset some of the flight costs.  If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application form at  https://form.jotform.com/oscarlucy/dog-adoption-app November 6, 2024, 7:29 pm

Story
Hi there, I`m Lil Jake! I may not be the biggest or the loudest pup in the shelter, but I promise you, I`ve got a heart full of love just waiting to share. I`m a 4-year-old dog who`s been through some ups and downs in life, but I`m ready to find my forever home and be the best companion you could ever wish for.When I first came to the shelter, I was a bit timid. The noisy surroundings and the unfamiliar faces made me a little shy. But with a little time and patience, I quickly blossomed into a friendly and playful boy. Once I got to know the kind humans here, I couldn`t help but show my true, happy self.I absolutely adore playtime! Whether it`s chasing after a ball, frolicking in the yard, or just goofing around with my favorite squeaky toy, I`m always up for some fun. I`m also a cuddle bug, and I`ll gladly curl up with you on the couch for some quality snuggle time. I`ve learned to trust people, and I`ve become very comfortable with being touched and even picked up. I`m a loyal little guy who just needs the right person to connect with.Now, I should mention that I can be a bit selective when it comes to interacting with new people. I tend to choose my friends carefully, and I`m looking for someone who will take the time to get to know me and let me warm up at my own pace. But once we`re friends, you`ll have a loyal and loving companion for life.When I`m out of my kennel, I`m a happy little guy. I love going for walks, exploring new places, and just being with my human. I`m a well-behaved boy who`s eager to learn and please. I`m just waiting for that special person who will give me the chance to be the best dog I can be.If you`re looking for a sweet, playful, and loving companion who`s come a long way from his timid beginnings, I`m your Lil Jake. I promise to bring joy, love, and happiness into your life. Will you be the one to take me home and make my dreams of a forever family come true? Let`s start our new adventure together!

Story
H! My name is Inez, and I am IN SOUTH KOREA waiting to be matched to a home in Los Angeles! I was rescued by DoVE Project out of South Korea. My fate would have likely been to end up being captured and sold for human consumption through the dog meat trade. Thanks to my rescuers and DoVE Project, I am no longer in danger and am now I am looking for my forever family! ID/NAME: CARE24-017 / Inez SEX/WEIGHT/AGE: Female / 6 lbs / 5 years BIRTH DATE: September 1, 2024 BREED: Bichon Frise mix VACCINATIONS/SPAY/NEUTER/HEALTH: Vaccinations complete / Spayed / Healthy BEHAVIOR: Inez is a sweet little princess! It doesn't take long for Inez to charm you with her lively and cute personality. She enjoys running around outdoors and exploring interesting scents. When she heads inside, she likes to find soft and fluffy places to cuddle! She gets along well with other friends and has a kind and loving personality to everyone. BACKGROUND: Rescued from a puppy mill that used Inez as a practice dog for grooming. Many dogs were found sick with injuries. ABOUT SHELTER STRESS Dogs who have lived in shelters for a long period of time develop behaviors due to an environment that is loud, chaotic, and stressful, even in best shelters in the US. Dogs in shelters have limited socialization exposure to people and urban environments. DoVE dogs also 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 our adoption application: https://www.dove-project.org/adoption-process If you are interested in adopting, please complete an online application at: https://www.dove-project.org/adoption-application-form
