My name is Shine!

Shine is our 3-4-year-old male Tosa Inu with a heart as big as his size. This gentle giant has overcome a harsh past and is now searching for a loving forever home.

In December 2023, Shine and 11 other dogs were cruelly used in a political protest by the Dog Meat Farmers Association in Korea. Left abandoned, terrified, sick, and malnourished in small cages, in the street, they were transported to Sejong City Shelter. This Shelter was not prepared to care for the dogs, resulting in Shine being rescued from unimaginable conditions due to no treatment or care available.

Since his rescue, Shine has been rehabilitated and is now a sweet, affectionate companion. He loves resting his big head on your chest while you relax on the couch and is happiest lounging on a cozy bed. Shine enjoys mellow moments but also loves playing with his foster sibling in open spaces. He’s a gentle cuddle bug ready to find his forever home.
