Happy Tails!
Read the stories of some of our pups who found their fur-ever family!
Change a Dog's Life
If you are looking to add a furry companion to your family, please consider adopting. When you adopt, you are saving two lives! Once a dog is adopted, we are able to save another in their place, hence two lives are saved.

Who We Are
About AKR
Adopt Korean Rescue (AKR) is a volunteer-based federally registered not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping homeless and unwanted dogs in South Korea find a new home in Canada
Why Adopt a Korean Dog?
Compassion Knows No Boundaries
Every life deserves to be saved, regardless of its geographical location. Each year, over 1 million dogs are slaughtered in South Korea’s dog meat trade.
Beyond Their Breed
Many of the dogs we rescue are Jindo mixes, Spitz mixes, Korean Village Dogs, and many other breeds as well. All dogs can become victims of the dog meat trade, abuse and euthanasia.
A New Hope
Shelter dogs in Korea face stigma, making it hard to find local adoptive homes and leaving them vulnerable to euthanasia or the dog meat trade. International adoption programs have given hope to Korean dog rescuers!
Adoptable Pups!

Adoptable dogs are updated continuously. Stop by frequently to meet your paw-fect match!
Remi
Remi is a playful and friendly girl, who gets along very well with people and dogs. She is a social butterfly!
Popo
Popo is looking for a loving home ❤️ She gets along with everyone and every dog, and loves getting treats!
Dona
After being on the euthanasia list, Dona still loves everyone! He’ll even go up to strangers to give kisses and ask for pets.
Give them the new, warm home they deserve!
AKR has been able to offer homeless animals a second chance by not only finding homes for more than 650 dogs since its foundation in 2021, but also by providing them with nurture, medical care, training, grooming and other services that have prepared them for life with their new families.
Monkey
Monkey was found laying on the side of the road. His skin and fur needed lots of care, and his foster did just that to get him ready for adoption.
Freya
Freya was rescued from a kill shelter in South Korea. Last November, she got her freedom flight to her forever home in Vancouver Island.
Yuna
Yuna was on the euthanasia list at a kill shelter in Korea with her siblings. Rescued after surviving an outbreak of parvovirus, AKR helped her get the treatment she needed to chart a better course in life.
