Welcome to Our Bundang Facility!

Hey there! Welcome to our rescue and rehabilitation facility in Bundang-gu, South Korea. This place is special to us, and we’re thrilled to share our story with you.

Our journey began in March 2020, right before the world was turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a bumpy start, but we’re all about overcoming challenges for dogs! We’ve been welcoming dogs from all walks of lifeβ€”stray, abandoned, puppy mill shutdowns, high-kill shelters, and survivors of the dog meat trade. These dogs come to us thanks to the incredible efforts of our rescue missions, volunteers, activists, and animal welfare groups across South Korea.

The situation here is challenging for homeless, abused, and neglected dogs. There are millions of homeless dogs and an adoption rate below 20%. But that doesn’t dampen our spirit because the adoption rate in the US is 100%! Our team, alongside many NGOs in Korea, is committed every single day to making a change. Since opening, we’ve welcomed and transformed the lives of over 2,500 dogs. We provide top-notch vet care, nutritious food, and much love and training to prepare them for their forever homes in the US.

Our team is like a big familyβ€”10 trainers who live at our facility and over 30 volunteers who visit weekly to lend a hand. They’re the heart and soul of our center, helping these precious pups trust and love again and forget about their past trauma. Our facility, a cozy 20,000-square-foot space nestled in the mountains of Bundang-gu, is a doggy paradise. It’s got everythingβ€”a climate-controlled main hall, comfy sleeping rooms, medical and quarantine areas. And it’s always sparkling clean and safe.

Outside, we have six fenced-in play areas where the dogs can romp around, socialize with their friends, learn to walk on leashes, and just be dogs who enjoy life again. We care for 150+ dogs at any given time, each eagerly waiting for a new start and second chance.

When a dog arrives here, it’s like a new dawn. Hope, love, and many tail wags when they finally realize they are safe – that’s what we’re about! If you’re around Gyeonggi-do and want to volunteer to help these dogs, you can join the fun by contacting our volunteer coordinator
s at “Let’s Utada” (IG: @lets_udada)

Together, we’re not just helping dogs; we’re making a world of difference. Here’s to giving every dog the second chance they deserve!

Korean K9 Rescue (KK9R) in Korea operates independently and solely licenses our name. Korean K9 Rescue in the US has no governance or oversight over its actions, decisions, or public statements. Donations made to KK9R in Korea directly support KK9R in Korea and do not pass through Korean K9 Rescue in the US.

Ms. Hyun-You Kim
President, Korean K9 Rescue (ROK)
Mrs. Kim Hyun-You, the passionate and dedicated president of Korean K9 Rescue in South Korea, embarked on her journey into animal rescue 15 years ago, driven by a profound empathy for cats and dogs. Her personal experience of rescuing two dogs from severe neglect was a turning point, inspiring her to establish her own rescue operation in Ilsan, Korea. In 2016, a serendipitous meeting with Gina Boehler, the founder of Korean K9 Rescue, marked the beginning of a powerful collaboration. United, by their deep commitment to animal welfare and a shared vision for employing holistic, modern, and scientifically informed approaches to healing trauma in rescue dogs, they have led Korean K9 Rescue to remarkable achievements. Since 2018, her tireless efforts and unwavering ethics have resulted in the rescue and rehabilitation of over 5,000 dogs from the horrors of the dog meat trade, puppy mills, high-kill shelters, and the streets
