"YURI - Jindo and Chow Chow Dog for Adoption in Springfield, Virginia

Meet Yuri!

7.5-Year-Old Female Currently in Foster Care in the U.S.

Yuri has made it to the United States and is now enjoying her new life in a loving foster home! She has settled in beautifully, is receiving lots of love and attention from her foster mom and dad, and is adjusting very well to living with their two resident dogs.

Yuri’s journey has not always been easy. Her mother, Bella, was rescued while giving birth to five puppies. Bella and three of her puppies eventually found loving homes in the U.S., while Yuri and one sibling remained in Korea.

Yuri was adopted by a young family when she was little, but sadly, she was later sent to live outdoors at a rural home, where she was kept tied up and neglected. Thankfully, she was rescued once again and given another chance at a better life.

Despite her difficult past, Yuri has remained a sweet and loving girl. She adores people, loves food, and especially enjoys playing fetch with her favorite ball. Now that she is safe and comfortable in her foster home, she is finally getting to experience the love and security she has always deserved.

Yuri is currently in the U.S. and available for meet-and-greets! Come meet this lovely girl and see for yourself what a wonderful companion she could be.

At 7.5 years old, Yuri still has so much love to give. She is looking for a family who will welcome her indoors, cherish her, and promise to love her for the rest of her life.

Could you be the forever family Yuri has been waiting for?

Many of our rescue dogs had very little socialization before entering our program. As a result, skills such as house training, leash walking, and adjusting to family life may take a little extra time. Patience, understanding, and gentle guidance are essential. The good news is that most of our dogs adapt remarkably well, and helping them blossom into confident family companions is an incredibly rewarding experience.


*** About us ***
Hope For Donghae Paws(HDP) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to bringing rescue dogs from Korea to the US and finding permanent homes for them. It is true there are many animal lovers in Korea, but still many dogs suffer and are killed for food.
Our mission is to find US homes for mixed-breed dogs whose chances of being adopted in their native Korea are very low.

The Chow Chow, a distinctive breed known for its lion like mane and unique blue black tongue, originated in China over 2,000 years ago. These aloof yet loyal dogs are known for their independent nature, dignified demeanor, and protective instincts. Chow Chows require early socialization and training to thrive in a family setting, as they can be stubborn and territorial. With a dense double coat that requires regular grooming and a history as ancient guardians and hunting companions, the Chow Chow remains a fascinating and enigmatic breed in the canine world.

The Jindo, a Korean native breed renowned for its loyalty, courage, and intelligence, is highly prized for its unwavering loyalty to its family. This medium sized, spitz type dog has a distinctive double coat that sheds seasonally. Known for their independent nature, Jindos require early socialization and firm, consistent training. With a strong prey drive and territorial instincts, they excel as hunters and watchdogs. Their deep bonds with their owners make them loving companions, albeit not suitable for inexperienced owners.
