My story

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

Meet Ryong🩵
Ryong was rescued from Korean City Shelter when the Parvovirus was going around. SeongRyong got Parvovirus during his stay at the shelter, but he bravely overcame the illness.
He used to be a timid pup but after he was sent to a training center, his behavior has improved tremendously and now he is getting adapted to his foster family!
*Separation anxiety: None.
*Housebroken: Goes to outdoor potty only!
* Is scared of people so doesn’t get close to them but slowly opening up.🥰 He is getting better so when he meets people outside and try to touch him, he flinches but doesn’t run away.👍
*Doesn’t avoid being petted but doesn’t come at people first to be petted.
*Is a prince who can approach other doggy friends with his good manner!🤴 Has such a good personality where he sniffs with other dogs to get acquainted and play together. He is especially nice to smaller pups! Getting along well with the foster sister dog he is staying together with. However, can get intimidated by dogs who are big sized or too active.
*Not particularly interested in cat friends.
* Loves walking outside. Walks good by balancing his steps! However, he can pull the leash slightly and can struggle with his legs sometimes, so he is training with his foster at this time. Need to notice his walking behavior!
* Is not a big eater with a little appetite. Doesn’t like kibbles but only likes to eat treats so his foster is training him to eat more kibbles!😢 Because of his little appetite, he doesn’t gain weight.
*Ryong is a pup who directly expresses himself, so he sometimes gets stubborn. Working with his foster to correct his stubbornness!
* Likes his head to be petted but petting other parts of his body can startle him terribly. 😢 Doesn’t like his feet to be touched. He gets more sensitive on his front legs than his back legs.
* No barking at all.👍🏻 Tends to be quiet at home and doesn’t make messes.
* Can bathe well calmly but is scared of water running on the shower, so it’s important to run the shower just a little bit or fill up the bathtub before bathing starts. Can get scared of a dryer.
* Ryong’s expression and facial expression is getting more diverse. Can identify his feelings and he sometimes express himself with his body language.
* Likes to lean his head on the wall and lies down.
* No carsickness and can ride in car without problem!
