Description:

Hi! My name is Tomo, and I am IN SOUTH KOREA waiting to be matched to a home in Los Angeles! I was rescued from the dog meat trade in South Korea by the DoVE Project. My fate would have been to live in fear and distress, watching dogs being led to slaughter for human consumption. DoVE Project heard about me, and now I am looking for my forever family! ID/NAME: CARE23-054 / TomoSEX/WEIGHT/AGE: Male / 60.6 lbs / 8 yearsBIRTH DATE: April 1st, 2015BREED: Golden RetrieverSPAY/NEUTER/VACCINATIONS: Spayed. Vaccinations complete. HW History:Diagnosed with a stage 3 heartworm after his rescue in February 2023. Received immiticide injections on March 2 and March 17. Health/physical characteristics:Tomo’s teeth are notably decayed and missing.Scratch marks on his nose.Six claws on each hind leg. BEHAVIOR: Kind and beautiful Tomo is still carrying a sad trauma from his past within him. Tomo is timid around people, especially strangers. Tomo prefers to sit somewhere by himself or with the other timid dogs. When around other dogs Tomo happily roams around and plays with the other dogs. Due to Tomo’s age, he is not as playful as the other younger dogs, but he likes to join in when he can. Tomo is pretty good on a leash, he really enjoys exploring new places and, is a good companion for walks. Tomo has not been in a foster home yet. He mostly keeps his kennel clean. He does have accidents if he does not get an opportunity to go potty outside his kennel for a longer period. SIBLINGS/FAMILY: Unknown BACKGROUND: Tomo, the Golden Retriever, is estimated to be around 8 years old. He was plagued by severe malnutrition, with every bone in his body visible. The vet informed us that administering an IV to Tomo could potentially worsen his heartworm condition and put his life in peril. Moreover, we were instructed to provide him with nourishment before beginning the heartworm treatment, as he was too emaciated to undergo the necessary procedures. Upon arriving at the Run Center, we bathed Tomo with the utmost care, carefully scrubbing away the dirt and grime accumulated from his squalid condition. The result of our efforts was revealed as his clean fur shone, and he seemed to revel in the feeling of being clean. He voraciously consumed his meal, a testament to the positive impact of proper care on his health. ABOUT JINDOSJindos are known for their fierce loyalty, high intelligence, rarely barking, and playful nature. They make great indoor family dogs, as Jindos are clean and easily housetrained, and are faithful to family members. They are also mid-level active and love being socialized at dog parks, going on hikes, and joining the family on trips. ABOUT SHELTER STRESSDogs who have lived in shelters for a long period of time develop behaviors due to an environment that is loud, chaotic, and stressful, even in best shelters in the US. Dogs in shelters have limited socialization exposure to people and urban environments. DoVE dogs also come from a traumatic background such as dog meat farms and slaughterhouses. While many of our dogs acclimate within a few months with consistency, structure, and patience, some of our more sensitive dogs can take longer to rehabilitate. It's important to note that these sensitive dogs are even more attuned to human emotions and behavior, making for a deeper connection human-dog connection. DoVE Project is committed to helping our adopters desensitize and socialize our dog meat trade survivors. *********************************DoVE Project operates a shelter in South Korea, where our dogs stay until they are matched with an adopter. In the US, our dogs stay in foster homes or in boarding, as we do not have a physical facility. These dogs are identified with "in LA" in their names.
