Beckma was found on a street in Paju at just 2 months old in Nov 2021 and taken to a high-risk city shelter along with his brother, Woonam. Fortunately rescued right before euthanasia by the rescue team, the two brothers started living with numerous dogs in a private shelter. Sadly, both brothers haven’t had a single opportunity to live in a foster home until now, but Beckma’s sweetness shines through in the shelter.
