My personality

My story

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

** Note: Currently, Boknam is in Korea but we are looking for his forever home in Toronto. His flight from Korea to Toronto is scheduled for Oct. 19.

Background: Boknam was rescued from a city pound in Chuncheon this spring as part of the "Save 100 Dogs" project. Since then, he has been living at our partner boarding house with other dogs, waiting for his forever home.

Personality and Socialization: Boknam is a sweet, gentle dog with medium energy. He is friendly, sociable, and loves being around people, both men and women. Boknam isn't shy and adores attention and pets. He also enjoys playing with other dogs his size and is bright, playful, and affectionate, making him the perfect cuddle buddy.

Behaviors: Although Boknam has limited experience walking on a leash, he loves exploring the outdoors. He’s comfortable with baths, grooming, and is great in the car. At vet visits, he is well-behaved and calm. While he’s generally quiet indoors, he’ll bark a little when it’s mealtime or to invite people to play with him. Boknam is adaptable and eager to learn.

Health and Diet: Boknam is in excellent health and has completed all his medical checkups. He is vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and receives regular parasite prevention. He eats dry food twice a day and has no known allergies.

Ideal Home: Boknam would thrive in a home where someone is around often, whether that be someone who works from home or is retired. As he’s still young, he will need attention and interaction, so his adopter should be ready for that. Boknam is an affectionate, lovable little angel, and anyone who adopts him will be very lucky to have him in their life.

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.
