Inside Rebel Rescue: Saving Jindo Dogs and Shaping Korea’s Future with Dogs

In this powerful interview, host Robert Forto sits down with Robin Lucas, President of Rebel Rescue South Korea, to talk about how one woman’s mission turned a struggling Korean shelter into a global rescue organization. Discover how she transformed a 300-dog rescue in Pyeongtaek into a thriving nonprofit, what life is like for Jindo mixes in Korea, and how her team is bridging cultural gaps between American adopters and Korean volunteers.

Robin shares how she manages Rebel Rescue from Texas, the challenges of rehoming dogs across continents, and the story of Hotch, a Jindo mix waiting for his forever home. Whether you’re a dog lover, trainer, or rescue advocate, this episode offers inspiration from the frontlines of international animal welfare.
