Hotaru IN LA!!

My story

Hi! My name is Hotaru, and I am waiting to be adopted by my forever family! 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: DV24-008 / Hotaru SEX/WEIGHT/AGE: Female / 29 lbs / 5 years BIRTH DATE: Aug 1, 2019 BREED: Jindo mix VACCINATIONS/SPAY/NEUTER/HEALTH: Fully vaccinated / Spayed / Healthy. BEHAVIOR: Hotaru, who gets called by Roo by her foster family, has been welcomed with open paws! She loves playing with her two foster fur brothers and following her human fosters throughout the house. It's so cute to see Roo gently booping other dogs with her nose to get their attention. Roo is goofy, quiet, fond of belly rubs and will sweetly give little kisses to those she is comfortable with. SIBLINGS/FAMILY: Unknown BACKGROUND: Rescued in Namyangju, South Korea in the summer of 2023. 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.
