GREAT NEWS… Stone is HOME! Stone was rescued from a S Korean Dog Meat Farm.
He is now living large with Ashley Williams and Jay of North Chicago, IL.
Luckily this dog meat farm was shut down and all the dogs taken into safe keeping until loving homes can be found.
Thank you to all who helped Stone along the way. Most importantly thank you to Ashley and Jay for opening their hearts and home to this sweet boy.
You too can save a life.

My Name is Stone!
Hello! I’m a medium-sized, male Jindo mix gem of a pup, recently rescued from a dog meat farm in South Korea. I’m 5 months-old and my vaccinations are current. I have a super-plush coat, stand-up ears, and the cutest dark button eyes and black nose. I’m arriving in Chicago on September 10. Please roll this Stone right into your heart and home!

Jindos are South Korea’s most popular and treasured indigenous breed, known for their loyalty, bravery, and intelligence. Paradoxically, Jindo type dogs make up a large percentage of dogs farmed for meat. South Korea has widespread dog meat farming, and approximately 2.5 million dogs are slaughtered and eaten each year as part of Asia’s dog meat trade (DMT). Unregulated “farms” house anywhere from several dozen to 1,000 dogs, crowded into raised wire cages, with no veterinary care, and abysmal sanitation. The brutal torture of dogs as they are slaughtered, in sight of the other dogs, is believed to increase adrenaline in the meat, promoting increased health and virility when consumed.
As loving family members, these rescued puppies will grow up to be ambassadors of the global effort to end the DMT. South Korea is facing mounting pressure to end dog farming as the 2018 Winter Olympic Games approach, and international NGOs are using financial incentives and education to buy out farmers or facilitate the transition to fruit and vegetable crops. Dog meat is less popular among younger Koreans, and more dogs are being kept as pets, but few South Koreans want medium to large mixed-breed dogs. International adoption of these rescued dogs is a crucial component of ending the DMT in South Korea and saving these wonderful dogs.
