Here's what the humans have to say about me:
*Note: Currently, Uno is in foster care in Pickering, ON
Uno was one of the 101 dogs who were rescued from the Siheung dog meat farm in Korea in May, where he was rescued as a small puppy with his siblings. After being rescued, they were moved to our partner boarding house where they lived and grew up with other dogs, until he took his freedom flight to Canada to find his forever home. He is currently with a foster in Pickering.
Since Uno arrived while still young, and never knew life outside of a shelter prior to coming to Canada, we expected the adjustment and new experiences to be an adjustment, and in some cases, overwhelming. However, to our surprise, Uno has been very curious and is always the first one to go investigate something new. You can't even fold a piece of paper without Uno coming around the corner to find out what's going on.
Due to his curious nature, going on walks is one of Uno's favorite things as this means he gets to explore and expand his world. He also loves playing in the yard where he does zoomies and has fun just running around and leaping in the air. Coming back into the house, his foster asks him to wait in his corner, which he does so patiently to attach his leash, and will happily go back home. He will patiently wait to put on his harness or take it off before/after walks and stands still while you wipe his feet dry.
Uno loves to sleep with his back touching his foster's back. If she moves an inch, he moves closer to close the gap. He is an affectionate boy who loves a good rub down or scratch. We think this is the reason he enjoys bath time, particularly getting shampooed and lathered. He sits still during his bath and never complains. Uno is also calm and good with children. He sits quietly while they pet him or give him treats.
He is smart too! His foster notes she only needs to practice something about 6-8 times before he figures it out. His food motivation is also helpful in this regard. He has no trouble eating and isn't picky. Uno is house-trained. On the rare occasion he cannot hold his bladder, he will use a pee pad, which he does without fail. He has never had an accident on the floor.
Overall, his foster describes him as a funny and goofy boy. Uno gets along with other dogs, as he grew up with them at the shelter, and was raised with them at the dog meat farm. He will do fine as the only dog, or with another canine sibling. Uno has no experience with cats.
Uno's ideal adopter is one living a relaxed, yet active lifestyle. He would love a home where he can join in on weekend hikes and indulge his curiosity. Uno would love a secure yard to frolic around, although this is not a requirement for adoption.
Uno's adoption fee is $760CAD.
