5 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Foster a Dog

Why Saying ‘No’ to Fostering Might Be the Biggest Mistake You’ll Ever Make

Fostering a dog is a journey that’s not for everyone—especially if you’re looking for a life of predictable surprises, relaxed chaos, or lonely companionship. So, if you’re teetering on the edge of this uncharted adventure, here are five compelling reasons why fostering a dog might just be the best bad decision you could ever make.

Peaceful Disruption

As a New Yorker, your life is probably perfectly chaotic already, so why invite more peaceful disruption? A foster dog will introduce a steady flow of unpredictable routines into your life, shaking up your status quo in the most organized way possible. You might find yourself enjoying the consistent inconsistency, but beware—it could lead to a calm frenzy you never knew you needed.

The Predictable Surprise

Fostering a dog will fill your life with predictable surprises. You know you’ll be met with wagging tails and joyful greetings every day, but the little moments—like the first time your foster dog trusts you enough to snuggle close or learn a new trick—will catch you off guard in the best possible way. This anticipated unpredictability adds an element of excitement to your routine, reminding you that even when you think you know what to expect, life with a foster dog is full of delightful twists.

The Temporary Commitment

Relationships are hit or miss in New York City, so If you’re not ready for a long-term relationship, fostering offers the perfect temporary commitment. It’s a short-term forever that will test your ability to love and let go. Just when you’ve grown accustomed to the presence of your furry friend, they’ll find their forever home, leaving you in the bittersweet joy of a job well done. If you’re not careful, this fleeting permanence might just make you a repeat offender in the fostering world.

The Lonely Togetherness

It can be hard to make new friends in a place like New York City. Fostering a dog will introduce you to the world of lonely togetherness. You’ll never feel alone, even when you crave solitude, as your foster dog will be your constant companion. This solitary partnership will teach you the art of being alone together, turning your home into a space where quiet company thrives. It’s the kind of loneliness that fills your heart with warmth.

The Simple Complexity

Finally, fostering a dog will add a layer of simple complexity to your life. The daily care of feeding, walking, and nurturing might seem straightforward, but the emotional bond that forms will complicate things in the most beautiful way. This tangled simplicity will challenge your notions of what it means to care for another being, showing you that sometimes, the simplest acts are the most profoundly complicated.

Conclusion: A Conflicted Resolution

So, there you have it—five contradictory reasons why fostering a dog might be the worst best decision you’ll ever make. It’s a journey of peaceful disruption, cost-effective splurges, temporary commitments, lonely togetherness, and simple complexities. If you’re ready to embrace the oxymorons of life, fostering a dog might just be the perfect way to do it.

5 Reasons You Should Consider Adopting an Adult Rescue Dog

Opening Your Heart to a Second Chance: Why Adult Rescue Dogs Make the Most Loyal Companions

Adult rescue dogs carry stories with them—some filled with hardship, abandonment, or neglect. These dogs may have faced challenges, but they also have an incredible capacity for love and healing. Adopting an adult rescue dog is an opportunity to offer them a new beginning, while also discovering a loyal companion who will forever be grateful for the second chance you’ve given them. Here’s why you should consider opening your heart and home to an older rescue dog.

Healing Through Trust
- Many adult rescue dogs come from difficult pasts, which means they may be slower to trust humans again. But there is something deeply rewarding in gaining their trust. When an adult dog finally realizes they’re safe, loved, and cared for, their affection is unwavering. The bond formed with a dog who has seen hardship and found comfort in you is incredibly special—there’s a unique strength and gratitude in the love they give back.
They’re Ready to Learn and Love Again
- While some rescue dogs may have been mistreated or neglected, their capacity to heal and learn is remarkable. Adult rescue dogs might be hesitant at first, but with patience, you’ll see them start to blossom. They’re capable of learning to trust again and eager to be part of a family that provides stability, love, and care. Watching them transform into confident, happy dogs is one of the most beautiful rewards of adoption.
A Calmer Presence in Your Home
- Rescue adult dogs have typically outgrown the chaotic energy of puppyhood, making them more settled and adaptable to your lifestyle. While their emotional scars may take time to heal, their calmer demeanor can create a peaceful and comforting presence in your home. They’re content to sit by your side, enjoy a quiet walk, or simply bask in the security of their new life. They’re the perfect companion for anyone seeking a loyal friend without the overwhelming demands of a puppy.
You’re Offering Them a Lifeline
- For many adult rescue dogs, shelters are the last place they ever expected to end up. Whether due to circumstances beyond their control or simply because they were abandoned, these dogs often wait the longest for someone to take a chance on them. By adopting an adult rescue dog, you’re providing them with hope and a future that, in their minds, they may have thought was lost. Your home becomes their safe haven, and in return, they’ll give you loyalty and gratitude that is truly heartfelt.
They Have So Much Love to Give
- Though they may come from sad situations, adult rescue dogs are often overflowing with love once they feel secure. They may not know how to express it at first, but over time, they’ll show you just how much they appreciate the second chance you’ve given them. It’s not uncommon for an adult rescue dog to form an incredibly strong connection with their adopter, as if they know they’ve finally found the person who will never let them down again.

The Tosa Inu: A Loyal and Gentle Giant in Need of Rescue

Why the Tosa Inu Deserves a Second Chance: A Loyal Companion Ready for a New Beginning

At Korean K9 Rescue, we believe every dog deserves a second chance, regardless of size or breed. One remarkable breed we encounter is the Tosa Inu, a strong and loyal companion often misunderstood due to its size and strength. These gentle giants, when given the right care and placement, have the potential to become loving and loyal family members.

Rescued from the Dog Meat Trade

Tosa Inus were, unfortunately, a large part of the dog meat trade due to their docile and easy-to-handle nature. Despite their size, these gentle giants were often seen as manageable, making them frequent victims of this cruel practice. Many of the Tosa Inus rescued by Korean K9 Rescue come from this harsh reality, where they endured unimaginable hardship and neglect. As a result, these dogs may take time to adjust to the loving, caring environments they deserve. With time, patience, and compassionate care, they can heal from their past and begin to trust again. Our team dedicates significant effort to helping these dogs acclimate to their new lives, providing them the support they need to thrive.

Loyal and Devoted Companions

Tosa Inus are known for their loyalty and strong bonds with their caregivers. With time, trust, and patience, they can develop deep, lasting relationships and become loyal companions who stay by your side.

Calm Yet Energetic

Though typically calm in temperament, Tosa Inus are active dogs that require regular exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. They aren’t suited for a sedentary lifestyle and thrive best in homes that provide daily activity through long walks, playtime, or training sessions. Their size and energy level mean they need a family or individual who can commit to meeting their physical and mental needs.

Potential to Be Great with Families

While every dog is unique, many Tosa Inus have shown the potential to be excellent family pets when introduced to a nurturing and understanding home. An ideal home would be one with adults only (teens are okay), other medium to large dogs, and no cats or prey animals. Though their history may mean they need extra time and care to feel entirely comfortable, they can be affectionate and gentle. Families who are patient and willing to work with them may find a loyal and loving companion.

Strong Yet Gentle

Though muscular and powerful, Tosa Inus can have a surprisingly gentle side. With the right combination of regular exercise, training, and structure, they often thrive in urban and suburban environments, bringing calm and stability to their surroundings.

Adopting a Tosa Inu from Korean K9 Rescue means you’re not just gaining a loyal companion—you’re giving a dog a second chance at life. We are committed to supporting the dogs and their adopters throughout the adoption process, offering guidance to ensure a smooth transition. Every rescue journey is different, but with time and care, many of these dogs have shown incredible growth and love in their new homes.

If you’re considering adding a big, loyal, and active dog to your family, the Tosa Inu might be the perfect match. Reach out to Korean K9 Rescue to learn more about how you can give one of these beautiful dogs a loving home.

KK9R Rescue Dogs Set a New Guinness World Record on September 5th!

Champions of Survival, Ready for Forever Homes!

September 5th, 2024, will be a day we’ll always remember at Korean K9 Rescue (KK9R). We are thrilled to announce that 38 of our rescue dogs broke the Guinness World Record, setting a new standard of hope and resilience for dogs rescued from unimaginable conditions.

A Special Thanks to Bonk

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Bonk, whose support and partnership made this milestone possible.

Through partnerships like this, we continue to provide hope and a second chance to dogs who have endured unimaginable hardships.

Behind the Scenes: Teamwork Across Continents

The road to this achievement was challenging. From our team in Korea, where the dogs were carefully rehabilitated, to the unwavering support of our volunteers in the U.S., everyone played a critical role in making this record-breaking moment possible.

Each of these 38 dogs has a story of survival—many were rescued from dog meat farms, high-kill shelters, horrible hoarding situations, or abandoned on the streets of South Korea. Through the dedication of our team, these dogs have overcome incredible odds and are now ready to find their forever homes in New York City and Los Angeles.

The Power of Community Support

This moment would not have been possible without the incredible support of our volunteers and the KK9R family. Every volunteer who helped care for the dogs and every supporter who shared our mission contributed to this achievement.

But the journey is far from over! These record-breaking pups are looking for their forever homes, and we need your help. You can continue participating in this monumental event by helping us spread the word about their adoption. Please like, comment, and share our record-breaking reel on social media.

Beyond the Bark: Why Big Dogs Make Great Companions

From Couch Cuddles to Outdoor Adventures: The Big Dog Experience

Adopting a dog is one of the most rewarding experiences in life. While puppies often get the most attention, big dogs have just as much love to give. If you’re considering adding a furry friend to your family, here are ten reasons why adopting a big dog from Korean K9 Rescue could be the perfect choice for you. We’ve also launched our Big Dog Project to help find homes for our big cuties. Make sure to check it out!

Big Dogs, Big Hearts
- Large dogs are known for their affectionate and loyal nature. They bond deeply with their humans and are often gentle giants. The big dogs at KK9R are no exception, offering a wealth of love and companionship to their new families.
They’re Great Exercise Buddies
- If you love outdoor activities, a big dog is an excellent companion. Whether it’s a hike, a run, or a long walk, these dogs will happily join you. Their energy levels can match your active lifestyle, making exercise more enjoyable.
Discover the Joy of Unique Companionship
- Rescue dogs come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities, each with their own unique story. Whether you’re looking for a playful pup, a gentle giant, or a quiet companion, there’s a rescue dog in New York City waiting to meet you. These dogs are often a mix of breeds, offering the best of many worlds in one loyal, loving package. Their uniqueness adds character to your home and joy to your life, reminding you daily of the power of second chances. Adopting a rescue dog isn’t just about filling a space in your home; it’s about embracing the unexpected and finding love in the most extraordinary places.
Low Maintenance Grooming
- While some large breeds have thick coats, many require less frequent grooming compared to smaller breeds. This can save you time and effort while still keeping your dog looking great.
Big Dogs Can Be Great with Kids
- Many big dogs are known for their gentle and patient nature with children. They’re often more tolerant and less fragile than smaller breeds, making them excellent family pets.
They Offer a Sense of Security
- A large dog naturally provides a sense of security in your home. Even the friendliest of big dogs can deter potential intruders with their size alone, making them ideal for those looking for both companionship and protection.
They Have Lower Adoption Rates
- Unfortunately, big dogs are often overlooked in shelters, with many people opting for smaller breeds. By adopting a large dog from KK9R, you’re giving a deserving dog a second chance at a happy life.
Diverse Breeds and Personalities
- KK9R offers a variety of big dog breeds, each with its unique personality. Whether you’re looking for a calm and relaxed companion or an energetic playmate, you’ll find the perfect match.
They’re Great for Snuggling
- Don’t let their size fool you—big dogs can be some of the best cuddle buddies. There’s something incredibly comforting about curling up with a large, warm dog after a long day.
You’re Saving a Life
- By adopting from Korean K9 Rescue, you’re not just gaining a loyal friend; you’re also saving a life. Many of these dogs come from difficult circumstances, and your adoption gives them a fresh start.
Big Dogs Are Often Easier to Train
- Large dogs tend to be more focused and receptive to training than smaller breeds. Their intelligence, coupled with their desire to please, can make obedience training a rewarding experience for both you and your dog.
They’re Less Likely to Be Adopted
- Larger dogs often stay in shelters longer than smaller ones simply because of their size. By adopting a big dog, you’re giving an overlooked animal a chance to thrive in a loving home.
They’re Perfect for Spacious Living
- If you have a large home or a big backyard, a larger dog can be an ideal fit. They’ll enjoy having the space to roam and play, and you’ll have a companion that matches your living environment.
You’re Joining a Supportive Community
- Adopting from Korean K9 Rescue means becoming part of a supportive community. KK9R offers resources, advice, and a network of fellow adopters who can share their experiences and tips, ensuring you and your new big dog have the best start together.
They’re Great at Encouraging a Routine
- Having a big dog often means establishing a consistent daily routine. From walks to feeding times, these dogs help you stick to a schedule, which can be beneficial for both you and your pet’s well-being.

Why You Should Adopt a Rescue Dog, Instead of Shopping for One

While people look for a trendy breed, dogs are sitting in shelters around the world.

In the heart of New York City, where the pulse of life beats fast and the skyline is filled with dreams, there’s a quieter, more urgent story unfolding—one of thousands of dogs waiting patiently in shelters and rescue organizations for a chance at a new life. These are the dogs who have been abandoned, mistreated, or simply left behind. They are the ones who, despite it all, still wag their tails, still offer love unconditionally, and still hope for a forever home. If you’re thinking about bringing a dog into your life, there’s no better or more meaningful choice than to adopt a rescue dog in New York City.

Save a Life, Create a Bond
- When you adopt a rescue dog, you’re not just gaining a pet; you’re saving a life. Shelters in New York City are overcrowded, with limited resources to care for the influx of animals they receive daily. By adopting, you’re giving a dog a second chance—a chance to feel safe, loved, and part of a family. The bond that forms between you and a rescue dog is like no other; it’s built on gratitude, trust, and the knowledge that you’ve given each other a new beginning. This bond can’t be bought; it’s something truly special that only comes from the act of rescue.
Combat Pet Overpopulation
- New York City and cities globally, face a significant challenge with pet overpopulation. With so many dogs in need of homes, choosing to adopt instead of shop directly helps combat this crisis. Every time someone buys a dog from a breeder or pet store, it perpetuates the demand for more breeding, often under inhumane conditions. By adopting, you’re making a stand against this cycle, helping to reduce the number of dogs in shelters, and encouraging others to do the same. Your decision to adopt has a ripple effect, promoting a more humane and compassionate approach to pet ownership.
Discover the Joy of Unique Companionship
- Rescue dogs come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities, each with their own unique story. Whether you’re looking for a playful pup, a gentle giant, or a quiet companion, there’s a rescue dog in New York City waiting to meet you. These dogs are often a mix of breeds, offering the best of many worlds in one loyal, loving package. Their uniqueness adds character to your home and joy to your life, reminding you daily of the power of second chances. Adopting a rescue dog isn’t just about filling a space in your home; it’s about embracing the unexpected and finding love in the most extraordinary places.
Be Part of the Solution
- Adopting a rescue dog is more than just bringing a pet into your life; it’s a statement. It’s a declaration that you believe in compassion, in giving back, and in making a difference. In a city as vibrant and diverse as New York, there are countless ways to make an impact, but adopting a rescue dog is one of the most personal and immediate ways to do so. When you adopt, you’re not just solving a problem—you’re becoming part of a community of people who care deeply about the well-being of animals. You’re helping to create a world where every dog has a chance to be loved and cherished.
The Ethical Choice for a Compassionate City
- New York City is a place of endless possibilities and opportunities. It’s a city that celebrates diversity, resilience, and compassion. What better way to embody these values than by adopting a rescue dog? Choosing adoption over shopping is an ethical choice that aligns with the spirit of the city. It’s about doing the right thing, not just for yourself, but for the community and the animals that share it with you. It’s about being a part of something bigger—transforming lives, one adoption at a time.

In the hustle and bustle of a big city, it’s easy to get caught up in the rush of life. But adopting a rescue dog reminds us to slow down, to appreciate the small moments, and to recognize the incredible impact we can have with a single act of kindness. By adopting instead of shopping, you’re choosing to make a difference—not just in the life of a dog, but in your own life as well. So, if you’re ready to open your heart and home, choose adoption. The love you’ll find is immeasurable, and the joy you’ll experience is beyond words.

Training for Rescue Dogs

The essentials when it comes to training for your newly adopted friend.

Adopting a rescue dog is an incredibly rewarding experience, especially in a bustling city like New York or LA. However, it also comes with its own unique set of challenges. Many of our rescue dogs come from difficult backgrounds, including the dog meat trade, slaughterhouses, puppy mills, and high-kill shelters. Some have even been abandoned. Because of these traumatic experiences, each dog has its own special needs that require careful attention and understanding.

The Importance of Training for Rescue Dogs
- Training is not just about teaching a dog to sit or stay; it’s about helping them overcome their past and adjust to a new, loving environment. For our rescue dogs, who have faced extreme conditions, training is a critical part of their rehabilitation. It helps them build trust, feel secure, and develop the social skills they need to thrive in their new homes, particularly in a busy city like New York.
Why We Require Training for Dog Adoption
- Our trainers have spent extensive time with these dogs, both at our rescue facility in Bundang, South Korea, and here in New York City. They understand the unique behaviors and anxieties that our rescue dogs may exhibit. This specialized knowledge allows them to tailor training programs that address the specific needs of each dog, whether they are overcoming fear, learning how to interact with people and other animals, or simply adjusting to life in a new home.
- Because of the individualized care and attention our trainers provide, we require training for all dog adoptions. This ensures that both the dog and the adopter are set up for success, creating a harmonious relationship built on trust and understanding.
Training Helps Dogs Adapt to Big City Life
- Living in a big city like NYC can be stressful for both humans and dogs alike. The constant noise, crowded streets, and fast pace can overwhelm a rescue dog who is already adjusting to a new environment. Training plays a crucial role in helping your dog become more comfortable and confident in an urban setting. It equips them with the skills they need to navigate the city’s challenges, from walking calmly on a leash in busy areas to remaining calm during loud noises or crowded situations. With proper training, your dog can thrive in a place like New York City, making city life more enjoyable for both of you
The Role of Structure, Routine, and Crate Training
- Structure and routine are key components of successful dog training, particularly for rescue dogs who may have never experienced a stable environment. Establishing a consistent daily routine helps your dog know what to expect and reduces anxiety, making them feel secure. Crate training, when done properly, can also be a valuable tool. It provides your dog with a safe space of their own, helping them to relax and adjust more easily to their new home. These elements of training not only promote good behavior but also contribute to your dog’s overall well-being and comfort in their new environment.
The Long-Term Benefits of Training
- Investing time in training your rescue dog can have long-lasting benefits. Not only does it help the dog adapt more quickly to their new environment, but it also strengthens the bond between you and your pet. Trained dogs are often happier, healthier, and more confident, which leads to a more fulfilling and joyful companionship. In a fast-paced city like New York, having a well-trained dog can make a world of difference in your daily life.

Adopting a rescue dog in a place like New York City, LA, or the like, is a commitment to providing a better life for an animal in need. By embracing the importance of training, you’re not just teaching your dog new skills—you’re helping them heal from their past and build a brighter future. With the support of our experienced trainers, you’ll be giving your rescue dog the best chance to thrive in their new home.

How Fostering a Dog Makes You a Better Person

6 Reasons Why You Should Consider Fostering A Dog

Fostering a dog is more than just a temporary act of kindness; it’s an experience that can profoundly transform your life. While you’re helping a dog in need, you might be surprised to find that the journey also leads to personal growth and a deeper understanding of yourself. Here’s how fostering a dog can make you a better person.

1. Cultivates Compassion and Empathy
- When you foster a dog, you become intimately involved in their journey of healing and adjustment. Many foster dogs come from challenging backgrounds—whether it’s neglect, abandonment, or simply the confusion of losing their previous home. By caring for a dog in need, you develop a deeper sense of compassion and empathy, not just for animals, but for people as well. This increased emotional awareness can extend into your everyday life, helping you to be more understanding and patient with others.
2. It Teaches Responsibility and Commitment
- Fostering a dog requires a level of responsibility that goes beyond everyday tasks. It’s about committing to the well-being of another living being and taking on the challenge of meeting their physical, emotional, and social needs. This experience can teach you the value of commitment and reliability, qualities that are transferable to all areas of your life—whether it’s your relationships, career, or personal goals.
3. It Enhances Patience and Problem-Solving Skills
- Every dog is different, and fostering often involves navigating unexpected challenges. Whether you’re dealing with a dog’s anxiety, health issues, or behavioral quirks, fostering tests your patience and problem-solving skills. Over time, you learn to approach difficulties with a calm and thoughtful mindset, finding creative solutions and maintaining a positive attitude. These skills are invaluable in managing the complexities of life and can help you become more resilient in the face of adversity.
4. It Strengthens Emotional Resilience
- Fostering can be an emotional rollercoaster. The joy of seeing a dog thrive under your care can be accompanied by the bittersweet moment of saying goodbye when they’re adopted into their forever home. This process teaches you emotional resilience, helping you to navigate the highs and lows of life with grace. You learn to cherish the good moments and accept that letting go is sometimes necessary for growth and new beginnings.
5. It Promotes a Sense of Purpose
- Every dog deserves a life filled with comfort, joy, and love, regardless of their past. Dogs from the meat trade often have never experienced kindness or care, so adopting one allows them to finally live the life they were always meant to have, free from fear and suffering.
6. It Encourages Connection and Community
- Fostering a dog often connects you with a community of like-minded individuals who share your passion for animal welfare. This sense of belonging can enhance your social connections and provide a support network that enriches your life. Being part of a community that works together for a common goal can increase your sense of empathy, cooperation, and understanding of others.

Fostering a dog is a journey of mutual growth—while you’re helping a dog in need, you’re also evolving as a person. From building compassion and empathy to developing patience, responsibility, and emotional resilience, the experience of fostering can profoundly impact your character and outlook on life. It’s an opportunity to become a better, more well-rounded person, all while making a tangible difference in the life of a deserving dog. If you’re ready for a life-changing experience, consider opening your heart and home to a foster dog. You may find that the rewards go far beyond what you ever imagined.
