Jindo Journey Returns for 2026: $300 Training Stipends for Eligible Adopters

Starting March 1, 2026, we’re thrilled to announce that our Jindo Journey Training Stipend Program is officially returning.

After an incredible response in 2025, we’re bringing it back to help even more adopters build strong, confident relationships with their dogs through professional training support.

Thanks to a generous donor who believes deeply in long-term success for rescue dogs, eligible adopters can now receive a $300 training stipend toward an approved training package.

That’s two sessions fully covered.

The Jindo Journey stipend is available to:

• Adopters in NYC
• New Jersey*
• Long Island*
• Westchester*
(*subject to exact location and proximity to an approved trainer)
Jindo mixes over 25 lbs
Locally rescued dogs

**This stipend applies only to dogs adopted directly through Korean K9 Rescue (KK9R) and is not transferable to dogs adopted through other organizations.**

All stipends are granted at the discretion of the Korean K9 Rescue team.

Jindo mixes are intelligent, loyal, and deeply bonded dogs. With structure and guidance, they truly thrive.

The Jindo Journey program helps adopters:

• Build confidence and communication
• Strengthen leash skills and recall
• Navigate transition periods
• Set up long-term success at home

In 2025, we watched so many adopters and dogs grow together through this program. It wasn’t just about sessions. It was about trust, stability, and setting both dog and human up for success.

We can’t wait to see even more happy endings in 2026.

• $300 stipend applied toward an approved training package
• Paid directly to the assigned trainer
• Valid March 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026
• First come, first serve
• Available until funding runs out
• Cannot be applied retroactively to adoptions outside the eligibility timeframe

This program would not be possible without the generosity of a dedicated donor who believes in giving rescue dogs the best possible foundation for life.

Because of this support, we are able to invest not just in rescue, but in long-term success.

We’re deeply grateful.

Korean K9 Rescue reserves the right to modify, adjust, suspend, or rescind the Jindo Journey Training Stipend at any time and without prior notice based on the availability of funds, changes in program criteria, or other determining factors at our discretion.
The Jindo Journey Training Stipend is a one-time benefit available only to dogs adopted directly through Korean K9 Rescue. The stipend applies solely to eligible training initiated on or after March 1, 2026. Training expenses incurred prior to this date are not eligible for reimbursement.
This program is valid beginning March 1, 2026 and will remain available until allocated funds are depleted.
We are committed to using our resources responsibly to support as many dogs and adopters as possible and appreciate your understanding that program adjustments may be necessary to best serve our community’s needs.
