Update: December 27th

Two of the six puppies scheduled to fly (Jiho and Jini) have contracted a minor skin infection and require veterinary treatment. As the infection may be contagious, we have decided not to fly them until they have completed treatment. The four other puppies are being sheltered in a different location, so they are OK to fly. They will be joined by Dooroo and Wani, who are currently being sheltered at our headquarters in Toronto, so there will still be six puppies at the adoption event.

Jiho and Jini will fly later in the month after they’ve completed their treatment and the infection is gone. Although they won’t make it to Toronto in time for the Home for the Holidays adoption event, we will be sure to find them the forever homes they deserve. At least they’ll be here in time to enjoy the wonderful Canadian winter! :)

Wooftown Adoption Event

Home for the Holidays adoption event at Wooftown

If all six puppies are adopted before the end of the year, we will have rescued 200 dogs in 2016. That’s 200 dogs rescued from the Korean dog meat trade and adopted into loving forever homes. You can meet the puppies at our Home for the Holidays adoption event on Friday, December 30th from 4 to 7 pm at Wooftown.

These particular puppies were rescued from a dog tonic shop in Korea. Dog tonic, or Gaesoju (개소주), is a medicinal extract made by boiling a dog in a slow cooker along with herbs such as ginger and jujube. Some believe that the tonic has medicinal properties and increases stamina.

Help Bring Them Home for the Holidays

The first part of the Home for the Holidays challenge is to send the dogs via air cargo to Toronto. The puppies have all received vaccinations and veterinary treatment. Now we need our community’s support to raise the funds for air and ground transport, customs fees and quarantine certificate costs. In total, we need to raise USD$2,500 to fly these puppies to safety. If we raise more than the target amount, the additional funds will be used to fly even more Korean rescue dogs to their forever homes in the US and Canada.

Come to Wooftown and meet the puppies on Friday, December 30th, from 4 to 7 pm at 10 Birch Avenue. If you’ve already adopted from Free Korean Dogs, we encourage you to drop by and meet the other members of the Free Korean Dogs extended family. If you would like to learn more about adopting a Korean rescue dog, this is a great opportunity to ask questions from those with direct experience.

We hope this will be the first of many events to come and the start of a wonderful partnership with our good friends at Wooftown. We are very grateful to Jonathan and his incredible team for hosting this event.

Free Korean Dogs’ founder EK Park shared mixed feelings about this milestone event:

I’m encouraged by the incredible effort and collaboration that went into saving these 200 precious lives. But I can’t stop thinking about the millions we left behind. We must end the dog meat trade.
