Tintin

My story

🏠 Currently in a Vancouver foster home Tintin was rescued from a dog meat farm in South Korea along with his littermate, Toto. He had been living confined in a raised wire cage, deprived of even the most basic care, in an environment where slaughter was imminent. Tintin was standing at the very edge of life — until a rescue reached him and gave him a second chance through a dramatic intervention. Despite the harsh conditions he endured, Tintin has grown into a remarkably gentle and loving puppy. He enjoys being around people, appreciates soft and kind touch, and expresses affection in a calm and tender way. Tintin gets along well with other dogs and is social enough to live peacefully alongside cats. Still just 6 months old, Tintin is a young puppy who has not yet been potty trained and will need consistent guidance from his adopter. Thanks to his gentle temperament and attentiveness to human cues, he is a puppy who can learn gradually with patience, encouragement, and love. Because Tintin has always been together with Toto, he may feel a little shy at first when separated from him. In a new environment, he might appear cautious initially, but once trust is built, he quickly opens his heart and seeks closeness with his caregiver. A puppy who does not fear human hands, but quietly waits for them. Although Tintin has never experienced the warmth of an ordinary family home, he is more than ready to receive that warmth with an open heart. Tintin survived a place where his ending had already been decided. Now, it is his turn to grow up surrounded not by fear, but by love. Please become Tintin’s forever family.
