Aromi

My story

*Note: Aromi is currently in Korea but will be arriving in Toronto on July 21. We are looking for her forever home in the Toronto area.For more info about the dog, or the adoption application, please click here. BackgroundAromi was rescued from a puppy mill in Gimpo, where she spent her early life as a breeding dog. After her rescue, she stayed at our partner boarding facility and is now being fostered by a staff member. She is finally experiencing life in a loving home where she can feel safe and cared for.Personality and SocializationAromi is a gentle and affectionate little girl with a medium energy level. Once she forms a bond, she becomes deeply devoted to her person and loves being close to them. She has a calm and well mannered personality and enjoys quiet companionship more than constant activity.When Aromi first entered rescue, she was friendly and comfortable with both men and women. After moving into her foster home with a male shelter staff member, she formed a very strong bond with him. As their relationship grew, she also became protective of him and started feeling nervous around other men inside the home. She will bark at unfamiliar men indoors, but she remains friendly and comfortable with women. Outside the home, Aromi is much more relaxed and does not show the same reaction to men. With patient introductions and time to build trust, she is expected to continue gaining confidence.Aromi gets along very well with other dogs and especially enjoys the company of calm and gentle canine friends. She has not been tested with cats or young children.BehavioursAromi is fully house trained to pee pads and does not have separation anxiety. She does not chew household items and has excellent manners around the home. She rides quietly in the car, walks nicely on leash, cooperates well during veterinary visits, and is calm during baths and grooming.Health and DietAromi is vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, and dewormed, and receives regular parasite prevention. After her rescue, she underwent successful surgery to correct patellar luxation in her left hind leg, along with surgery for a hernia. She has recovered well from both procedures. Aromi also has an overbite, but it does not affect her ability to eat or enjoy her meals. She has also had a full dental cleaning with scaling. She has no known allergies and is otherwise in excellent health.Ideal HomeAromi would thrive in a quiet home where she can build a close bond with her adopter. Because she is uncomfortable around unfamiliar men inside the home, she may do best with a single woman or a household where visitors are limited while she settles in. A calm, gentle dog companion would also be a lovely match for her. Aromi has so much love to give, and once she trusts you, she will be a loyal and affectionate companion for life.For more info about the dog, or the adoption application, please click here.
