Finding love with a Korean rescue dog – Part 2
What a whirlwind of emotions it has been in the past 7 months. After the initial 3 weeks passed, we started getting down to business training Tokki to be more well behaved and start associating outdoors with happy things.
From Korea with love
It has only been two weeks since Soomin joined our family. During that time, he has adjusted perfectly into his new family life. His mannerism, playfulness and cuteness; every single aspect of him fits into our lives so perfectly, like a puzzle. We love our Soomin so much and he has shown us so much …Read More about From Korea with love
Rescued Dogs & Raw Food Diet
It was love at first sight when we adopted Gracie from Free Korean Dogs rescue. She was spared the cooking pot in South Korea, where millions of dogs are brutally killed in the dog meat trade each year. Many of these rescue dogs come with a history of trauma.
The Little Shaggy Angel of My Life
One morning in December 2017 when I was working from home, I realized how lucky I was. I had just bought my own place with my fiancé and was slowly furnishing our new home. We have one small dog Savannah, a long hair Chihuahua who weights all of 2 lbs. Since our move, she seemed …Read More about The Little Shaggy Angel of My Life
My name is Dave
It wasn’t always Dave. I had a temporary name, Da-Haeng, when I was rescued. Before, I was a dog hanging by the noose, waiting to be slaughtered. I was being beaten so that I could be tenderized for dog meat soup during Boknal. I was destined to die and become food.

Meet My Beautiful Korean Granddaughter
The video was so heartbreaking, the kind you watch then wish you’d never clicked “play.” Away from the competition on the field, the Olympic Games can shine a global spotlight on a country’s human or animal rights atrocities, and in Pyeongchang, South Korea, the biggest news story outside of the sporting events was about the …Read More about Meet My Beautiful Korean Granddaughter
Terry, the Best Snuggle Buddy
While my husband and I knew that we wanted a dog eventually, we were trying to keep ourselves content with following puppy accounts on Instagram and pointing out cute dogs we saw on our walks to the beach. Still, we found ourselves occasionally checking PetFinder and other sites.
Just Jindo It: The First Year of Life with Louie
Four harnesses, seven pairs of shoes, 3,360 miles walked: these are just a few of the numbers that reflect the first year we’ve spent together since Louie (formerly Jungyi) landed in Seattle last April 2017.
Jindo, obssed with ice cubes
As soon as we saw Wilson on the Free Korean Dogs website, we knew he had to be ours! The wait time for Wilson felt long, and there were some hiccups in the arrival, but as soon as we got him we felt bonded.
Meet Charlotte who brings out the best in me
One afternoon in 2017, I was lazily looking at pictures of dogs on the internet. Something came over me, and the dog memes quickly became rescue websites. When I came across the Free Korean Dogs website, I didn’t know what I was getting into. I rationalized that because I had started working from home, it …Read More about Meet Charlotte who brings out the best in me
