Hi! My name is Cady, and I am IN SOUTH KOREA waiting to be matched to a home in Los Angeles! 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: CARE23-052 / Cady SEX/WEIGHT/AGE: Female / 48 lbs / 11 months (as of March 1st) BIRTH DATE: April 1, 2023 BREED: Jindo mix BEHAVIOR: Cady brims with curiosity, always taking her time to observe and understand her surroundings. Cady is also very sociable -- she adores people and gets along well with dogs of all sizes. And just look at those ears! SIBLINGS/FAMILY: Penny, Bianca, Basil and others BACKGROUND: In June 2023, Watchdog conducted a raid on a notorious slaughterhouse in Cheonan, infamous for its brutal and inhumane methods of animal slaughter - particularly, the horrific practice of hanging - which had been ongoing for over three decades. The conditions within the aged facility were nothing short of devastating. Puppies were seen tumbling from suspended cages onto heaps of waste, as their helpless mothers could do nothing but watch in despair. Numerous other puppies cried out in distress, their tiny feet caught in the bars of their cages. Both dogs and goats showed clear signs of severe malnutrition. Food and water bowls were filthy with old food scraps. A thorough investigation by Watchdog uncovered substantial evidence of the harsh conditions and animal mistreatment within the facility. This evidence led the authorities in Cheonan to intervene and the owner was forced to relinquish ownership.

They make great indoor family dogs, as Jindos are clean and easily housetrained, and are faithful to family members.
