My personality

My story

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

**Note: Currently, Aji is in Korea but we are looking for her forever home in Toronto. Her flight from Korea to Toronto is scheduled for Oct 19.

Background: Aji was rescued in December 2023 from a city pound in Buan, Korea. Since then, she’s been living in a private shelter with other dogs, waiting for her forever home.

Personality and Socialization: Aji is a medium-energy dog with a gentle and friendly demeanor. While she may be a little shy at first, she quickly warms up and becomes affectionate and cuddly. She’s very sociable with other dogs, especially those with similar energy levels, and is well-liked by her canine friends. Aji hasn’t had any experience with cats or young children, so her comfort around them is unknown.

Behavior: Aji is an intelligent girl who learns quickly and loves to please her humans. She enjoys going on walks, though new environments might make her a bit nervous initially. Once she’s familiar with the area and settles into a routine, she will thrive. While she’s fine in the car, Aji isn’t a fan of baths but tolerates them. She can be nervous at the vet but remains well-behaved. Aji prefers to do her business outside, though she’s also excellent with indoor potty pads. When it comes to toys, she’s a bit protective—she’s okay with people handling them, but she doesn’t like when other dogs try to take them away.

Health and Diet: Aji is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on her vaccinations. She receives monthly parasite prevention and hasn’t shown any signs of allergies. She eats dry kibble twice a day.

Ideal Home: Aji is a sweet, gentle dog who thrives in a calm, relaxed environment. She would do best with a family where someone is often home to keep her company. Aji would be an excellent match for families looking to add a second dog, as she blossoms when she has a canine companion. A quiet neighborhood would suit her best, as she can be sensitive to loud noises. With her friendly and intelligent nature, Aji is sure to bring love and joy to a peaceful, caring home.

Adopting a dog is a lifelong commitment that requires time, care, and dedication. Please be sure you're fully prepared for this responsibility before bringing a dog into your home.

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.
