Adoption Application

Dont' Buy, Adopt!

The Adoption Process

  • Adopting a pet as a member of your family is a significant step. Please understand if it takes longer than expected to complete the process.
  • After signing the agreement form provided by KARA, please complete the adoption application form.
  • Parental consent is required in the case of minors seeking to adopt a pet, and the minor will be interviewed with parents or guardians.
  • The adoption fee is KRW 70.000. This fee is used to provide medical care and shelters for abandoned animals.
  • You need to provide a copy of your ID when the adoption is lodged. When pets are allocated for adoption, the adoption counselor will visit your house. (Residents in Seoul and Kyonggi-do get priority). After adoption, adopters are required to participate in the monitoring that KARA conducts.
Kangy

Kangy

  • Age : 7 years
  • |
  • Sex : Male
  • |
  • Weight : 7 kg
  • |
  • Breed : Mixed

Kangy was born in and rescued from a densely packed pile of trash. There were four puppies in total. Two died, one was adopted, and at five years old, Kangy has still not met his forever family.
He is astoundingly clever and incredibly sensitive to a person's feelings and mood changes, to the point that it sometimes feels like he can read your mind. Bright and cheerful, Kangy loves going on walks and is also house trained (uses puppy pee pads). But when he’s around other dogs, he occasionally marks his territory in corners or on blankets.
Because he is clever and sensitive to his surroundings, Kangy can get stressed. Please be a forever family for the smart Kangy.

  • Weight : 6.5 kg

  • Breed : Mixed

There once was a puppy that wandered around a village in Gapyeong, without knowing the difference between street and sidewalk. He could easily have been hit by a car and there were several attempts to rescue him. It wasn’t easy though because he was wary of people. Once he was eventually rescued, though, he realized that he was actually a gentle, good puppy. His eyes were full of eyeworms, and it seemed that he hadn't had a home for months.
With his bright and cheerful personality, Mark was adopted by an elderly couple. But the couple succumbed to dementia and were sent to a nursing hospital, and Mark lost his family. Please be family to the sad little Mark.

Bama

  • Sex : Male

  • Weight : 7 kg

  • Breed : Mixed

Bama was abandoned in a shelter after a car accident left him with bone fractures. Fortunately, the fractures didn't affect any major nerves, so he can walk, but he is handicapped when it comes to his bowel movements?he can't control them. He has been wearing a manner belt that collects his urine, and he defecates about twice a day.
He loves to go on walks and is very insistent that he determines each day's route. Mild-mannered and calm, he gets along well with other animals, but can get agitated around hyperactive or noisy dogs. This Bama is looking for his forever family.

It's hard not to feel sorry for Bori, who loves people an unusual amount and seems to crave their love. Please be Bori's forever family.

Bidam was born at KARA after his pregnant mother was moved there from a struggling private shelter. His siblings have all been adopted but the especially golden Bidam has yet to find a home.
He’s gentle and mild-mannered and tends to sleep during the day and be active at night. We don't know how he became such a night owl, but the Areumpoom caretakers are trying to help him stay awake during the day. We're looking for a forever home for Bidam.

Haddy was born in a shelter four years ago and has been living at Areumpoom ever since. It's been sad to watch the little guy as he sees others get adopted, leaving him behind. Haddy is gentle and gets very nervous when he goes out for walks alone, but he loves going out with other dogs.
We feel especially urgent about Haddy's adoption as he seems to be slightly depressed. Please be Haddy's forever family.
