Pregnant Dog Meat Farm Survivor Waited Two Years for Love—Now She’s Finally Home
Aurora’s story began in one of the darkest places imaginable, a South Korean dog meat farm, where she was chained and starving with a grim future. Bu, her life took a miraculous turn when rescuers from Jindo Love Rescue stepped in to save her. (Watch Video Below)
What they didn’t know at the time of her rescue from the Miryang meat farm was that Aurora was also pregnant. From a hopeless future on a chain to discovering love, safety, and a forever family, Aurora’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.
Two-Year Wait For Happiness
Safe at the rescue at last, Aurora gave birth to four beautiful puppies: Daffy, Bugs, Babs, and Taz. Under proper care, she lovingly raised them until, one by one, each pup was adopted into a forever home. Like so many devoted dog mammas, Aurora stayed behind, patiently waiting her turn.
That turn finally came after two long years of being overlooked. Someone saw the gentle soul behind her shy eyes and chose her.
Aurora now has a home of her own, and as Jindo Love Rescue’s president, Patti Kim shared, “We are overjoyed that Aurora is finally home. She is a gentle, shy soul who deserves nothing but love and happiness.”
New Home 5000 Miles Away
Aurora’s long wait for love ended in the most beautiful way. She’s been adopted by Natasha Lee in San Francisco. To reach her new mom, this brave dog meat farm survivor traveled more than 5,000 miles from South Korea to the U.S., a journey that marked the beginning of her new life.
Thanks to the animal advocacy group In Defense of Animals, which helps facilitate overseas flights for rescue dogs, Aurora finally made it home.
Today, she’s thriving alongside Natasha and her fur sibling, Solo. “I’m super excited to bring Aurora home,” Natasha shared. Adding, she said, “I am very lucky and fortunate to adopt her. The Jindo Love Rescue team are the real MVPs here.”
“Aurora’s journey shows the incredible resilience of dogs. To go from a chain on a dog meat farm to flying across the world into the arms of someone who loves her. This is what rescue is all about. Every dog deserves a chance like Aurora got.”
The sweet dog now spends her days surrounded by love, comfort, and the safety she was once denied. From a chain in a dog meat farm to a warm home in San Francisco, she has finally found the life every dog deserves—one filled with care, companionship, and hope for the years ahead.
