It’s been 3 years since Pocheon City shut down a poorly run and mismanaged shelter with over 3,000 dogs on the verge of dying. Now 450 dogs remain and are being cared for by independent volunteers plus the amazing teams from @beaglerescuenetwork @youumbba and of course @koreank9rescue.kr. 🙏🏽
Today, 70 volunteers from these groups, including KK9R have come together to help prepare the cages against the brutal winter here in the mountains of Pocheon. Additionally, they are giving much needed vaccinations and proper care for each dog here. 💕 If your able to help donate much needed blankets locally in Korea, please message us or @beaglerescuenetwork. Fosters and adopters in Korea are also needed!
You can donate to our efforts directly [link in bio] and help us continue our life-saving work on the ground in Korea 🇰🇷 Thank you for your support!

Here’s Nodam! 🤩 He’s a 2-year-old male Terrier mix and weighs about 35 pounds. We rescued him from the Aerinwon shelter in Korea and now he’s in NYC for adoption! Nodam’s best described as friendly, affectionate, sweet, and sensitive. He’s doing awesome with crate training and potty training so far. 🙌🏽 He’s also starting to play with toys, enjoys hanging out with his foster brother (dog), and likes being near his foster parents. He would do best with a patient adopter that can help him build more confidence with busy and loud areas outdoors. Nodam’s hoping he finds his forever home soon!

They don’t get any sweeter than Somang! 💗 He’s a 6-month-old male Jindo mix and weighs about 12 pounds. Somang was rescued from the Seoul city shelter. He’s potty trained and doing well with crate training. Somang is best described as outgoing, friendly, energetic, happy-go-lucky, and sweet. He’s a confident, curious walker and likes to stop to sniff (and sometimes lick!) leaves. 🍂 Somang is very affectionate and loves being around people. He’s also a quick learner and knows the “Sit” command! If Somang sounds like the dog you’ve been looking for, apply to adopt!

Open your heart to fostering like these folks have! They can tell you first-hand how rewarding (and fun!) it is to provide a safe space for one of our dogs when they arrive in the U.S.
We’re looking for foster homes in NYC and Boston so our pups can thrive when they arrive from their long trip from Korea. 🐶 The pups need you, please help them on their journey to their forever home! 🙏🏼
Fostering is a 21+ day commitment. By fostering, you’ll change the life of one pup and ensure a spot for another. If you live in NYC or Boston and are interested in fostering, please fill out our Foster Application (link in bio or go to KoreanK9Rescue.org/foster). 💘 Thank you!

Our founder Gina is at our Bundang facility in Korea, where there are currently 95 dogs waiting to come to the U.S. and find their forever homes. Check out our Stories today for a closer look at the facility, and please ask your friends and family to donate to your walk so KK9R can thrive in Bundang!
Also, stay tuned as we return to Aerinwon in a few days to help the remaining dogs left there.
Meet our good boy Bulgari! 💎 He’s a 2-year-old Jindo mix and weighs about 31 pounds. Bulgari was rescued by our partner @animal_kara from Uijeongbu, a dog training center run more like a death camp. He’s best described as friendly, easy-going, smart, calm, and sweet. Bulgari is fully crate trained and working on potty training. He appreciates a good head scritch, and his favorite treat is cheese. 🧀 We think his ideal adopter would be an active person who enjoys jogging or running with Bulgari and can help him build confidence. Could that be you? Apply to adopt!

[EDIT: Adoption Pending ✅] Meet precious Poya! 💖 He’s a 6-month-old Jindo mix and weighs about 11 pounds. Poya was rescued from the Gyeongsang-do city shelter. He’s fully crate trained and making great progress on potty training. Poya is best described as friendly, happy-go-lucky, easy-going, smart, and gentle. He loves chewing on rubbery toys and chasing balls, and he’ll roll onto his back for belly rubs midway through playtime. With his reddish coat and black-tipped ears and tail, we think looks a bit like a fox. 🦊 Want more Poya? Apply to adopt!

Adopt Guruem! Guruem is a 3-year-old Jindo mix and weighs about 26 pounds. Guruem is a great walker and loves exploring new neighborhoods. When he’s inside, he’s content to lay by his fosters’ feet and sometimes politely asks for pets and belly rubs. Guruem would do well with an adopter who’s looking for a calm companion and enjoys long, leisurely walks. Big thanks to Guruem’s fosters!
