My personality

My story

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

Background: Egon was found behind a shopping mall in Paju, Korea. After spending some time in a shelter, he was taken to a dog hotel run by a generous shelter volunteer. He will stay for a while.

Personality and Socialization: Egon has a mellow, chill, and easygoing personality. He has high energy and loves to play, especially engaging with people. Egon enjoys staying close to his humans and following them like a shadow. While he is friendly with men and women, he has no experience with young children or cats. Egon is also friendly with other dogs, as long as they are not too pushy, dominant, or hyper.

Behaviors: Egon loves going for walks and spending outdoor time with his humans. He enjoys fetching and chasing balls. While he is okay with short car rides, he sometimes gets car sick on longer trips. Egon is good with baths and grooming, and he is not a picky eater.

Health: Egon is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on his vaccinations. He also takes monthly preventatives for internal and external parasites. He’s a healthy boy, ready to bring peace and love to his forever home.

Ideal Home: Egon is a lovely boy who adores his humans. He would thrive in a home with someone who enjoys outdoor activities and can spend a lot of time with him. Egon is very obedient, smart, and learns quickly. He would be a great match for someone who has plenty of time to dedicate to their dog.

More about this rescue

Free Korean Dogs (FKD) is a registered charity in Canada (BN:80580 0166RR0001).

Founded in Toronto, Canada on July 1st, 2015, our organizations rescue dogs from Korea’s dog meat trade and other at-risk circumstances and find their forever loving homes in Canada and the US.

Millions of dogs are slaughtered for meat consumption in Korea every year. Most of them are kept in tiny, overcrowded cages in dog meat farms and provided no water or shelter from the elements, and given only scraps of waste to eat. It is also common practice for dogs to be brutally tortured prior to slaughter as it is believed to enhance flavor and nutritional healing properties, despite an overwhelming lack evidence to support these claims.

Korea is the only country in the world that commercially farms dogs for food. Lack of legislation regulating the Korean dog meat trade result in the lack of standards for safety or humane treatment. Simply speaking, dogs can be obtained by any means, whether stray or farmed, and treated in unfathomable inhumane manners without consequence. The dog meat trade in Korea is a legislative gray area and political landmine that nobody in power wants to address.

Our international rescue and adoption program saves over hundreds of dogs each year from the Korean dog meat trade and finds their homes in Canada. Since 2015, we have shut down two dog meat farm operations, rescued over two hundreds dogs from the dog meat trade, and found forever homes for over seven hundreds dogs rescued from euthanasia or the risk of being forced into the meat trade.

We also promote public awareness to create a cultural shift from cruelty to compassion for dogs in Korea through campaigns, protests, and events. Through rescue, rehabilitation, and education, we hope one day all dogs and animals can lead peaceful and happy lives.
