About this listen

Dog culture in South Korea has changed dramatically in recent years, but not always in the ways people expect. In this episode of Rescue Tails, Robert Forto and Robin Lucas break down the realities of modern dog ownership in Korea, from apartment living and small dog trends to training gaps, abandonment, and rescue challenges.

They discuss the recent ban on dog meat, cultural attitudes toward dogs, public perceptions of larger breeds, and why so many dogs are surrendered around one year of age or as seniors. The episode closes with a spotlight on Bebe, a six-year-old mini poodle looking for a home through Rebel Rescue South Korea.
