Tomo IN LA!!

My story

Hi! My name is Tomo, and I am waiting to be matched to my forever home! I was rescued from the dog meat trade in South Korea by DoVE Project. I love the outdoors - rain or shine - as well as enjoying the warmth and comfort of family life. The DoVE Project team and my long-term foster family say, "Tomo is priceless! He is a true gem! *For that very special adopter, we will waive his adoption fee. *Are you that special family for this beloved DoVE dog?" ID/NAME: CARE23-054 / Tomo SEX/WEIGHT/AGE: Male / 65 lbs / 8 years BIRTH DATE: April, 2017 BREED: Golden Retriever SPAY/NEUTER/VACCINATIONS: Spayed. Vaccinations complete. Health/physical characteristics: Tomo has had 11 teeth removed. He has his four canines still in place. Scratch marks on his nose are most likely due to being stuffed into cages when moved from farm to farm. Double dew claws on each hind leg - common for the Great Pyrenees breed! * BEHAVIOR: Tomo is a gentle giant with adults, children, dogs, and cats. He is a quiet and polite 8-year-old Great Pyrenees mix. He was once someone's pet, but somehow ended up in the hands of a dog meat trader. While he may need some extra care and attention, we do not doubt that the bond he will share with his forever family will be very special. Tomo loves his walks and would embrace having a fur buddy. SIBLINGS/FAMILY: Unknown BACKGROUND: When Tomo was rescued, he was unhealthy and severely malnourished, requiring veterinary care. After receiving care, he seemed to revel in being clean, having meals, and living in better conditions. ABOUT OUR DOGS DoVE dogs 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 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. For that special family, we will consider adoption outside of the So. California area..
