Meet Nami Nami is a beautiful 3-year-old Jindo mix with a stunning tiger-striped brindle coat. She was rescued from South Korea after being raised to be sold for dog meat, as brindle-colored dogs often "sell for more." Nami and her brother, Namu, were discovered living in a small cage until a dedicated rescuer spent several months persuading the owner to release them. During that time, Nami accidentally escaped into the mountains, and rescuers worked tirelessly to safely capture her again. After rescue, Namu was diagnosed with heartworm and went through a full course of treatment. He is now completely heartworm-free. Through all these challenges, Nami remained resilient. Despite the hardships she faced while growing up, Nami still shows a sweet, gentle spirit. She smiles when people approach and is learning to trust more each day. She is a little more shy than her brother Namu, but she has already shown tremendous improvement since arriving in foster care.

Surgeries, heartworm treatment, boarding costs....all things that often result in adoptable dogs and cats being left behind to be euthanized. So, adopting a puppy saves not just one life, but many! Puppies require an adopter who is home a good part of the day to continue their training! They are up-to-date on age appropriate vaccines and preventatives. Freckles Foundation & Animal Rescue cannot guarantee the exact age or breed of any animal in our care. The age and breed listed are based on information we may have been provided, and the appearance of the animal.
