My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! My name is Tyrone IN LA!!!, and I am IN LOS ANGELES looking for my forever home! 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!

More about me
BREED: Jindo mix
AGE: 7 months (DOB 12/20/20).
WEIGHT: About 18 pounds, and full grown, I'll probably be about 35–55 lbs
HEALTH: Up to date with all my shots and neutered
BEHAVIOR: Skittish with humans and friendly with dogs I am familiar with
BACKGROUND: My mother lived in a restaurant near the Dove shelter in Korea, and the owner brought my siblings and me to the shelter director. We are part the Silver Screen Trilogy group: Harlow, Lana, Doris, Ava, and Tyrone.
CURRENT: I am currently staying with a foster in a home environment. I am affectionate, playful, and loyal when I have established trust with my person. I can be skittish with new people and surroundings, particularly outdoors. I need someone who can be patient and help me adjust to my new life here in the US.

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 SHELTER STRESS
Dogs who have lived in shelters for a long period of time develop behaviors due to an environment that is loud, chaotic, and stressful, even in best shelters in the US. Dogs in shelters have limited socialization exposure to people and urban environments. DoVE dogs also 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.
