Our Adoption Policies

Korean K9 Rescue is committed to pairing rescue dogs with loving, prepared homes through a thoughtful, education-based adoption process. While we aim to make adoption accessible and inclusive, we prioritize the safety and well-being of both the dog and the adopter by evaluating compatibility.

Our process includes an adoption application, reference checks, and a virtual home visit to ensure each dog is placed in the most suitable environment. Many of our dogs come from traumatic backgrounds, and we provide adopters with comprehensive information and guidance regarding their unique needs to help them thrive in their new homes.

We believe in balancing flexibility with responsibility, offering post-adoption support and resources to ensure that adopters and dogs achieve long-term success. Whether you’re a first-time dog owner or a seasoned pet parent, we invite you to join our compassionate and supportive community, ready to welcome a rescue dog into your life.

Donghae's Adopted!

HUGE NEWS: Donghae has been adopted in Maryland!!!!
⁠
Donghae was one of the most challenging rescue dogs we’ve had in our care in New York City, but we never gave up on him and believed that the right person would eventually adopt him. We knew that he needed an adopter that would not only provide love but also structure and guidance to help him thrive. Additionally, we knew that he would do better in a quieter area than New York City, such as in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Maryland.

For the past several months, Donghae was training hard with Lead Your K9 in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania to reach his true potential. All of the hard work paid off because Donghae has made amazing progress AND found a dedicated adopter that lives in a quiet area in Maryland!⁠
⁠
We’re so thankful to Lead Your K9 for rehabilitating Donghae and to Donghae’s adopter for giving him the forever home he’s been waiting for! And finally, we thank everyone who supported Donghae along the way. We know that our community of volunteers in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and beyond will miss seeing Donghae in New York City, but we’re sure he’s onto even more exciting times in his new home in Maryland.

Together, we’ve changed Donghae’s life for the better!
