Hello everyone,

I hope you and your family are safe and taking the necessary precautions. Like you, I am concerned about recent developments surrounding coronavirus (COVID-19). I have been closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 and adopting precautionary procedures to remain operational for our oversea adoption. I am in contact with our networks for the safest way for our rescued dogs to arrive in Los Angeles safely.

As mentioned previous on our post and as well as on our NEWS section, COVID-19 is unlikely to be transmitted to dogs and they can’t spread it. Per Center of Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), “While this virus seems to have emerged from an animal source, it is now spreading from person-to-person in China. There is no reason to think that any animals including pets in the United States might be a source of infection with this new coronavirus.” There is no known report of coronavirus being transferred from dogs to humans.

Presently, both Korean Air and Asiana Airlines have either suspended or reduced routes for North America until April 25, 2019. For Los Angeles, only one flight is currently operational. We do have confirmed flight volunteers who will be traveling after April 25, 2019 to Los Angeles and our priority is to make sure the following rescued dogs are on board to meet their new families:

Bella, Daisy, Kahn, and Spring.

We presently have 3 dogs are with fosters here in Los Angeles:

Shadow (Terrier Mix Puppy), Kona (Smoyed Mix), and Kenji (Husky Mix)

For now, we will continue with our adoption process for all remaining dogs and will suspend all rescues in Korea until this COVID-19 pandemic comes to an end. Please be sure to check out our FAQ page as it contains all information pertaining to our oversea adoption.

Thank you,

Hannah K.
