We are a non-profit, No-Kill 501(c)(3) dog rescue organization based in Queens, New York that is creating a better future for homeless and mistreated dogs in South Korea. Due to the stigma associated with mixed-breed dogs and those from dog meat farms, most dogs have a low chance of being adopted in South Korea and run the risk of being euthanized. We transport at-risk dogs to the United States, where we place them in loving forever homes. Our current eligible locations for adoption include areas within New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., Maryland, and Massachusetts. Through the adoption process, we can spread awareness about the brutal dog meat trade and advocate for the voiceless dogs that are still suffering.
1. Check our Adoption FAQ for answers to general questions before you apply! After reading the FAQ, complete our adoption application. Please be advised that KK9R requires written authorization from your Landlord/Management/Board before consideration to adopt. If your building requires pre-authorization of new pets, please refer them to our website listings. 2. If you are local to NYC, please come to our adoption event with your printed adoption application and your household members in order to be interviewed. If you are from out of state, you are welcome to attend the adoption event but it is not required. Instead, we will contact you ONLY if you are selected to continue screening, which could include a virtual interview. We make placement decisions based on who is the best match for the dog, not the human. Adoptions will be completed on a case by case basis with no guarantee of placement time. 3. To finalize the adoption, you must have all required supplies, sign up for training with your assigned trainer, and be able to pick up the dog from the KK9R office in Queens, New York or at our adoption event. If you are adopting from Massachusetts, please check our Adoption FAQ for more details. Our dogs are a flight risk and must be fitted onsite.
