Last year we rescued Momo (formerly Pixy) and her three siblings with our ­partner Jindo Love Rescue from a kill shelter in South Korea, where their fate was uncertain. Now, we’re celebrating her safe arrival in the U.S., where she has four new dog siblings, including her sister Nabi (formerly Pez).

Nabi, Momo, and their two brothers were in a sad state when we rescued them, but now they’re doing amazingly well. 

Nabi arrived last December just before the holidays and has been doing wonderfully with her adopters and their three other dogs. She’s really opened up, showing off her precious personality, thanks to her new family’s love and patience.

It went so well that they came back for Momo, who arrived at the end of August. It took them a while to recognize each other (international travel and arriving in an unfamiliar new home is a lot for a dog to take in), but now they stick with each other, and Momo has been particularly sweet with the senior dog in the home.

We’re so happy they’re getting the second chance they deserve with the best family and will get to spend the rest of their lives together.

Now, we’re hoping for the same for their brothers, Sweetart and Starburst, who are both still available for adoption. We don’t know exactly what happened to them before, but they both had neck wounds all the way around their necks under their collars, and we can’t imagine it was anything good.

Despite what they’ve all been through, they are still the sweetest and deserve the best life has to offer with adopters who will be patient, help them build confidence, and show them the world isn’t a scary place for them anymore.
