Meet Our Team
Sue Dao
Director, KNY Dog Rescue
While working at a pet store in 2016, Sue met a local rescuer and offered to donate food. Thus began her journey in dog rescue. She and the rescuer soon became partners and, together, they helped bring dozens of dogs from Korea to the United States.
As the director for that rescue, she discovered she loved the hands-on approach and the opportunity to care for all the wonderful dogs. However, it became increasingly difficult to balance the commitment to rescuing with her home life and decided to take a break in late 2018.
In 2021, Sue’s deep love and passion for rescuing dogs led her to continue to fulfill her promise to find them the exceptional homes they all deserve.

We are always on the “look out” for dogs in need of shelter, or an upgraded shelter whether they are in the backyards of private homes or in the yards of businesses where they are used as guard dogs. We advocate for dogs by using our gifts, talents, and abilities to bring about positive change in the lives of outdoor dogs.
Mary Beth Seacott
Art Director, KNY Dog Rescue
Mary Beth is an artist and graphic designer with a passion for rescuing dogs.
She first met Sue while working as the Marketing Director for a local dog rescue. Her designs were used to raise awareness of the plight of dogs in Korea and awakened a desire to help as many dogs as she could. So when Sue asked for graphic design work for her own rescue, Mary Beth jumped at the chance to create more work for the cause.
Mary Beth creates and teaches art in her spare time. For more information and to view her work, visit MBSeacott.com.
