About this Dog
Meet Amber – a survivor with a heart full of hope Amber is a 3-year-old Jindo mix making her way to Minnesota all the way from South Korea, where she was rescued from the unimaginable cruelty of the dog meat trade. After spending her life confined in a barren metal cage, Amber is finally getting her chance to experience what every dog deserves: kindness, comfort, and love. She was one of 67 dogs saved by our incredible partners at Humane World for Animals (formerly Humane Society International) as part of a historic rescue from a long-running dog meat farm in Cheongju, South Korea. With the country’s ban on the dog meat industry now in motion, Amber’s rescue represents more than just a second chance — it’s a symbol of lasting change. Despite all she’s been through, Amber is learning to trust and open up. She’s a little shy with new people at first, but warms up with soft tail wags and gentle curiosity. She leans into petting from people she knows and is easy to walk on leash, especially with a clip-style leash. Amber has gone on many buddy walks with other dogs and is still figuring out how to play appropriately — after all, she never had a chance to be socialized in the past. She shows excitement and interest in other dogs and would benefit from continued slow introductions and a patient dog friend. Amber arrives in Minnesota on 8/7 and will be available for adoption after she settles in. She’s looking for a calm, understanding home that will let her continue to blossom at her own pace. With time, love, and patience, Amber will be the most loyal, grateful companion you could ever hope for. From farm cage to soft bed — Amber’s journey is just beginning. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
