Otis

My story

Hi! My name is Otis, 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: C’DT23-01 / Otis SEX/WEIGHT/AGE: Male / 61.7 lbs / 4 Years BIRTH DATE: Nov 12, 2019 BREED: Jindo mix VACCINATIONS/SPAY/NEUTER/HEALTH: Vaccinated / Neutered / Healthy BEHAVIOR: Otis is sweet and kind. He is a bit timid at first, but warms up right away with the right person. Once he learns about the person's kind intention, he will greet them with a wagging tail. Otis loves to be cuddled! Otis plays well with the dogs he knows well, but may be a bit awkward and timid around the new dogs. Otis is great on a leash! Will be a bit hesitant when a stranger walks by, but with more exposure, he will quickly get used to it. Otis doesn't show any other behavioral issues such as biting, barking, or separation anxiety. SIBLINGS/FAMILY: Unknown BACKGROUND: Rescued from a slaughterhouse in November of 2021. ABOUT JINDOS Jindos are known for their fierce loyalty, high intelligence, rarely barking, and playful nature. They make great indoor family dogs, as Jindos are clean and easily housetrained, and are faithful to family members. They are also mid-level active and love being socialized at dog parks, going on hikes, and joining the family on trips. ABOUT OUR DOGS 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.
