Strut your Mutt 2019 (Salt Lake City)
(From our Directors, Rosalind and Philip):
Each year, for the past several years, and again this year, Philip and I will be representing our Jindo Rescue (Two Dog Farms, Inc.) by taking part in the Salt Lake City “Strut your Mutt”, in October this year.
We’ll be walking with a few of our own Jindos, all of whom are dogs that we have rescued from various situations.
Why do we take part?
Well, it’s to help raise much-needed funds for the rescue, so that we can continue to help as many US born and abandoned Jindos as we can.
This year, we have already pulled nearly 3/4 our normal yearly average and still have half the year to go, so despite our hopes and efforts, you can see that the need to help Jindos in the US does not unfortunately diminish.
And this year has seen a sharp rise in abandoned seniors too – we recently adopted a near 14 year old female, Bobby, but we ourselves can only take so many, and we rely heavily on our wonderful team of volunteers and foster families, who in turn lead us to a growing number of loving forever homes for these fabulous dogs.
Our rescue began with the dog shown in the photo, Sammo, who we were drawn to help after seeing his information on Facebook from the Brooklyn ACC in New York. We had our own Jindos, and Asian mixes at the time, but knew we wanted to do more, and saw a ‘hole in the market’ – the breed was sadly lacking in representation in the rescue world, so we decided we’d try to fill that void, at least on the West Coast of the US.
Please help us continue our work, and support Jindos in the USA.You can donate to our SLC Strut Team via the link below:
