Flight Volunteer

Recruitement of flight volunteers

If you are preparing to travel abroad, immigrate, or study abroad, please leave with our dogs at the shelter waiting for family. It's a great hope for dogs waiting for overseas adoption.
Anyone who goes to US or Canada! Please give them only 30 minutes before your leaving.
Please take them to the house where their families are eagerly waiting!
* We always recruit flight volunteers.


✔ Anyone can do regardless of nationality, status, or occupation.
✔ However, only direct flights from Korean Air and Asiana Airlines are available.
✔ All the documents needed will be prepared by ADOGS volunteers! You ony have to come to the airport 30 minutes to 1 hour early.
✔ There's no additional charge for you.
✔ You leave after getting a permit. So you don't have to say my dog.
(Since you've already done customs declaration beforehand in advance, you can say “I'm a flight volunteer, not my dog” when you enter the country.)
