Tosca was featured here in November 2024. He’d been grossly neglected by his previous owner, kept on a balcony with three other dogs — even in the dead of winter — and rarely receiving food. He was described by an ARK veteran as “one of the trickiest dogs we’ve had.”
The difficulties Tosca endured led to him chewing on furniture, biting people and relieving himself wherever he pleased. All signs indicated that he was going to be a challenging dog to rehome.
But Tosca is now thriving with Ruka and Tsuyoshi Ueno, who live in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture. “My family had adopted from ARK when I was a child and I have great memories of that time,” Ruka says. Once she got married, bought a home and was “finally in a position to get my own dog,” she came straight to ARK.
