My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**Important Adoption Information

All of our dogs are currently living in private shelters or foster homes in South Korea.
Once an adoption is approved, dogs will travel to the United States through legal and approved international transport procedures.

Video calls are available prior to adoption, and adopters can communicate with our rescue team in real time through our official organization and app-based messaging channels throughout the process.

• Rescue Story:
Meet Tonki👋 In April 2025, a group of small dogs—believed to be victims of an illegal breeding operation—were found abandoned together on the streets of South Korea. Tonki was one of them. Now, he’s ready to leave his difficult past behind and begin a new chapter as a beloved member of a loving family. Having learned how to live happily with humans in his foster home, Tonki is patiently waiting for his forever home—where he’ll be cherished, protected, and loved the way he truly deserves.

• Personality: Sweet, Friendly, Bright
Tonki is a lovable, easygoing pup with a bright, happy energy. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves showing his humans just how much love he has to give! While he may need a little extra time to warm up to adult men, once he does, he becomes a loyal and devoted furry companion.

• Affinity with
- Dogs: Wonderful with other dogs! He’d do great as an only dog or as a second dog.
- Cats: Not tested
- Adults/Kids: Good with people, including kids / Needs a bit more time to warm up to adult men.

• House Training: Fully housebroken - using pee pads indoors and going potty outside.

• Walking Manners: Super gentle on leash and loves going for walks!

• Bathing/Brushing: Tolerates both well.

• Separation Anxiety: May howl briefly when first left alone, but once he settled, he relaxes and rests peacefully by himself.

• Barks/Howls: Occasional barking when a male family member approaches suddenly.

• Car Rides: Comfortable and calm

• Appetite/Food Allergies: Big eater! / No food allergies found so far.

• Likes/Dislikes: Likes to play with toys that make noise. / Not a fan of being lifted suddenly by a male family member

• Shedding level (1~10): 1-2

• Health: Currently a healthy pup! He tested positive for heartworm when rescued, completed treatment successfully, and tested negative in Dec 2025.
