IMPORTANT NOTE: Step 1 to 10 represent our General Application Process; from time to time, due to unforeseeable circumstances, part(s) and/or the entire process are subject to change.

** Animal welfare is our top priority; especially because many of our rescued dogs were harmed either physically and/or emotionally in the past. The detailed processes & procedures are structured to ensure minimal negative impact/experience for the rescued dogs. We appreciate your understanding & patience.

FKD helped over 930 Korean rescue dogs find their forever loving families in Canada and the US.
