The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, in collaboration with Trinity Airways and Sono Pet Clubs & Resorts, organized a two-day pet adoption program to find new homes for retired detection dogs. This partnership brought together government support, private-sector assistance, and expert guidance on adoption procedures.
Trinity Airways, formerly T'way Air, took the lead in organizing the event, which took place over the weekend at Sono Pet's Vivaldi Park in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province. Sono Pet provided spaces for families and the dogs to interact and rest, along with professional training support from a specialized trainer.
Three retired quarantine detection dogs - two English springer spaniels aged 7 and 9, and a 9-year-old beagle - were showcased alongside three prospective adoptive families, all selected through a rigorous screening process by the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency. Activities included running together, treasure hunts, and walks, providing the participants with ample opportunities to interact with the dogs and assess their suitability as new companions.
