In April of 2013, The Fuzzy Pet Foundation - (TFPF) was asked by a South Korean animal rescue organizati
...
on (CARE) to take in a Jindo who had been badly abused and neglected by her "owners." This Jindo had been raised for dog-meat slaughter. She had been tightly chained up to a metal pole and her body was covered with mange and open sores. She was crying in pain and desperately waiting for help. CARE discovered that this dog had been bred several times; her puppies were found completely frozen and dead in the dirt.
CARE named her Bomi (봄이) which is derived from the word "spring" in Korean. They treated Bomi's skin issues and socialized her to trust humans again. CARE was determined to give Bomi a fighting chance so they contacted TFPF to work our magic.
For many months, TFPF worked hard to arrange Bomi's transport from Seoul, South Korea to Los Angeles, CA. As responsible rescuers, we wanted to make sure we could provide Bomi with top-notch veterinary care, and secure her a forever home. We also wanted to have a proper plan in place so that we were not just naively flying an animal to a different country without considering the animal overpopulation crisis happening everywhere in this world.
With the generous help from one of our staunch supporters, actress Alyssa Milano, Bomi was flown on airplane to California on November 12, 2013! This has been a magical time for all of us who have worked so hard to rescue Bomi. We are truly humbled by Alyssa's support, and honored to be in the position to save these precious lives.
