About KOCA Dog Rescue
KOCA Dog Rescue is non-profit registered charitable organization run entirely by volunteers, dedicated to saving dogs from South Korea. Our dogs are cared in loving foster families until they are matched for loving and caring permanent homes.
In South Korea, approximately 80,000 companion dogs enter shelters every year and uncountable dogs are slaughtered for dog meat. KOCA Dog rescue is focusing on rescuing the dogs from puppy mills, dog meat farms and shelters especially who hasn’t been adopted for long time and became possible candidate for humane euthanasia due to lack of space and resource.
KOCA Dog Rescue work with multiple rescue groups in Korea, hoping that there are less abandoned dogs every year.
Please don’t breed or buy, there are shelter dogs waiting for their second chance…

Why are we doing this?
Approximately 100,000 dogs enter local shelters in South Korea each year. The actual number of stray dogs is estimated around 200,000. Less than half of the dogs at the shelters reunite with their owners or find new homes. Another half of these lost, abandoned, abused or surrendered dogs lose their lives. Financial struggles of animal shelters with no-kill policies and individuals hoarding too many dogs cause physical and mental health problems of the dogs and the providers due to their poor diet, limited medical care, confined environments, excessive noise, etc.
Our mission is to save as many as we can and give them a chance to be loved unconditionally.
