Dogs Rescued From South Korean Meat Farm Up For Adoption in Camden County

Gloucester Township, NJ -- Three dogs that were recently rescued from a dog meat farm in South Korea are now up for adoption in Gloucester Township.

The dogs, which are now at the Camden County Animal Shelter, were rescued as part of an international effort to redirect Korean farmers to pursue other economic activities and permanently end the farming of dogs for meat, officials said on Wednesday.

“These dogs have overcome insurmountable odds, and have traveled a great distance to find someone to provide them with the love and care they deserve,” Camden County Freeholder Jeff Nash, liaison to the Camden County Animal Shelter, said. “These dogs, along with other animals, are waiting for you to provide them with their forever home.”

The dogs were given the necessary veterinary attention for them to be able to enter the United States.  

Once in the country, they were given additional medical attention before arriving at shelters hat were able to provide the dogs with time to adjust, medical care and extensive behavior rehabilitation and training so they can be adopted, officials said.

Joey is a one-year-old, 50-pound female Golden Retriever who loves to play with toys and other dogs. She is very food motivated, is unsure of loud noises, is still unsure of people and needs leash training.

Liberty is between one and two years old. She is a 60-pound female Siberian Husky who opens up around other dogs. Liberty is picky with food, doesn't like to share her toys, needs leash training and is unsure of new people, but accepts touching.

Tisha is a 60-pound female Tosa Inu (Japanese Mastiff) who is between two and three years old. She loves people, enjoys her toys and is very curious. She is good on a leash, is picky with food and is unsure of new dogs. She is currently on medication for pain management due to an old injury to her back leg.

“We are extremely fortunate to be able to rescue these dogs, provide medical attention and care and find them loving homes,” Camden County Animal Shelter Executive Director Vicki Rowland said.

The Camden County Animal Shelter is located at 125 County House Road in the Blackwood section of Gloucester Township.
