    Brian

    I adopted from NDLB about a year ago! Thanks to them I now have my furever family member Brian!

    Maverick celebrating his second birthday.

    Got to adopt my dog Braven (now named Maverick) and it was the best and easiest experience. Thank you NDLB for changing my life. Truly appreciate it.

    I had the privilege of adopting a wonderful dog through this organization. NDLB was very organized with all the paperwork needed for my dog's flight from China to NYC. They also have a very caring and passionate staff.

    Harlow

    I rescued my Dog Harlow from No Dogs Left Behind in Oct 2022 after we had lost our senior dog. My good friend volunteered with this wonderful organization that rescues dogs from horrible conditions all over the world. Harlow was rescued from the illegal meat markets in Yulin, China. She has the sweetest temperament, smart, loves people and gets on great with other dogs. She came with all her shots, spayed and microchipped. I can't thank them enough for all they do for these sweet babies. Harlow has been an amazing addition to our family. Thank you!

    My wife and I discovered No Dogs Left Behind in 2020, and were impressed by their dedication to rescuing dogs from utterly horrific conditions in the meat trade, as depicted in some of the videos on their website. We have adopted more than one dog from NDLB over the last few years, and have fostered for them, as well. The adoption process, especially during the Covid outbreak was complicated by rapidly changing rules and laws on importing and exporting dogs both in the US and China. These frustrations (not the fault of NDLB) were greatly eased by the professionalism and accessibility of the staff, who kept us updated with regular videos and photos of our survivors, and were always available to answer our questions in a private chat group. From my experience adopting multiple dogs through NDLB, they run an efficient and effective operation, rescuing, providing emergency and routine medical care, housing, adoption, and transportation of the animals in their care. Their adoption fees are not the lowest to be found, but I am satisfied that they provide the funding for the necessary services they provide. Further, given the time spent with the dogs every day by caring volunteers and staff who help the dogs learn to trust and love humans and each other, the cost of adoption is a bargain. Having met with Jeff, the founder of NDLB on several occasions, including at the NDLB sanctuary in the US, I can attest to the passion he and his staff have for their animals and their ongoing mission. The adoption coordinators, Brandy and Liz, worked so hard to get our survivors to their new homes across the world, and I am in awe of what they were able to accomplish. This is definitely an organization you can trust to do what is best for their animals, and to provide excellent adopter care from start to finish.

    We adopted our Bunny aka Braveheart from NDLB and it's the best decision ever! The adoption process was very organized and easy. Volunteers are very nice people. They were in contact with us updating on our pet at all stages and following up later. This is a great organization to adopt and save a pet from. Our boy is just an angel, he's so adorable. He appreciates the new found love and care and we see how loving and grateful he is we love him! It was definitely worth it. Thank you NDLB and all of the volunteers!

    Adopting our dog through Korean K9 Rescue was one of the most rewarding and supportive experiences…read more From start to finish, the team showed such care--not just for the dogs, but for the people who adopt them. The adoption process was detailed and thoughtful, with multiple steps that showed how committed KK9R is to ensuring every dog finds the right forever home. After submitting our application, my husband and I had a virtual interview with a trained volunteer who asked meaningful questions about our background and did a virtual home tour to ensure we had a safe space. We also visited weekend adoption events to meet the dogs and learn more about the organization. Once pre-approved, we joined their Patreon to participate in their Foster-to-Adopt program--and that's how we found our Bari. Bari, a sweet 2-year-old Mini Jindo mix, was rescued from a short chain in a rural area near a puppy mill. The rescue arranged for us to foster him short-term, with the option to adopt within five days. From minute one, we fell in love. The support made the Foster-to-Adopt program incredible, especially for me as a first-time dog owner. My husband had experience with rescues, but I didn't, and KK9R ensured I felt confident and equipped every step of the way. I had a direct line of communication with the staff and kept a detailed online diary about Bari's food, medication, energy, temperament, potty habits, and anything else that stood out. The staff used that diary to give us feedback, tips, and encouragement. They helped me understand basic things like how to encourage him up a flight of stairs or how much to feed him, and they were always available to help troubleshoot or celebrate progress. Interacting with the volunteers and staff was fantastic. Everyone was so friendly, kind, and genuinely invested in our success. I grew up with a fear of dogs, and it turns out that many of these pups, including Bari, come with their own fears. The support I received from KK9R helped us feel safe, confident, and ready to build trust with each other. Their care helped me become the kind of dog guardian Bari needed and helped Bari begin to feel secure in his new life. One of the things that sets KK9R apart is its required training program, which ensures every dog and adopter has the foundation they need to thrive. Training is done with professionals with experience working with dogs like Bari--dogs who may not know how to play, lack confidence, have difficulty trusting people, or need help with basic skills like crate training, leash walking, potty habits, and recall. While it may seem like a lot initially, the required sessions are invaluable. The rescue doesn't receive any kickbacks--KK9R just properly vets the trainers to ensure adopters are working with people who truly understand the unique needs of these dogs. We paid upfront at the time of adoption and quickly scheduled five sessions with a trainer who came to our home and worked around our schedule. I started out with zero experience, and those sessions helped lay a strong foundation. Training is a lifelong commitment, and I'm so grateful KK9R sets adopters up for long-term success right from the start. Another incredible part of adopting through KK9R is the rich alumni network. Since bringing Bari home, I've connected with other KK9R adopters in our neighborhood--people like me who welcomed a pup from South Korea into their lives. It's been such a gift. Bari and I have joined other alums and their dogs for pack walks in Prospect Park, dog-themed craft events, and other informal meetups. It's been a wonderful way for the dogs to build confidence and socialize and for the humans to swap stories, share recommendations for gear and services, and be in a community with people who understand the joys and challenges of adopting a rescue pup. I've made dear friendships through this network, and Bari has too. We look forward to every pack walk--it's been one of this journey's most unexpectedly beautiful parts. Because KK9R has given me so much, I knew I wanted to give back. In the spring of 2024, I began volunteering with the organization as a KK9R alum. Signing up was simple, and attending adoption events quickly became a highlight of my weekends. Even the simplest volunteer tasks--helping others learn about the rescue or watching dogs interact with potential adopters--felt incredibly meaningful. I've also conducted virtual interviews with new applicants for the past year. It's been a rewarding way to spend my free time. I enjoy guiding others through the same thoughtful process that helped me find Bari and helping them understand what it takes to form a lifelong, loving bond with a rescue pup. A year and a half later, Bari continues to thrive. He's changed our lives for the better.

    I've been looking for a good local rescue organization and KK9R is the best I've found! they are…read morevery active, responsible and responsive to application and inquiries. Often times, you see organizations with adoptable animal pictures asking for application, after you submit lengthy application, often you don't hear from them, and animal is no longer available. And since application is needed for each specific animal, you have to go through the process all over again. KK9R is different; they ask for your application to vet you. You can apply for particular animal or general to get approved. They are very thorough about vetting applicants and very responsive. Then, after you get pre-approved, you can visit the animals. Which makes the process more streamlined and efficient. They do great work with local rescues as well as oversea rescues; particularly from south korea. The dogs are adorable and great quality. Some dogs are rescues from puppy mills, that sells to pet shops. They are also very honest about medical history of the dogs, and what to expect. After adoption, they also do follow ups. Spead the word if anyone is looking for furbaby!
