My story

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

** Current Location: in a foster home in South Korea **

• Rescue Story
: Meet Dong-yeop👋 Dong-yeop was wandering in the mountain and the neighborhood. He followed other dogs walking around. Some residents filed many complaints to fire stations, police stations and animal rescue organizations, but they all failed to rescue him, raising vigilance. In the meantime, He often appeared in front of the house of a resident and ate meat she was feeding him. Some residents who were interested in Dong-yeop's rescue in the neighborhood decided to work together to rescue the dog, set up a fence in front of the house, and succeeded in rescuing Dong-yeop who came in to eat.

Since then, Dong-yeop has been living in a temporary foster home for months, where he had good care and love and learned lots of tricks. He has turned into an amazing dog who loves walking and playing with toys! He is now more than ready to find his own forever home!

• Personality: Shy, Smart, Curious

• Affinity with
-Cats: He tends to chase street cats but is not very interested in indoor family cats.
-Dogs: Great with other dogs. He also relies on the resident dog in his foster home.
-Adults/Kids: Shy around new faces / not much interest in kids

• Shedding: 5-6 (1-10 scale)

• Food Allergies/Picky Eater: No food allergies. While he loves meat very much, he doesn't eat vegetables or fruits.

• Walking Manners: Still in training but improved a lot on leash walking! Now he's excited to go out for walks.

• Housetrained: Fully-housebroken, using the bathroom only outside.

• Baths: Not a fan!

• Separation Anxiety: None, thanks to the other dog in the house.

• Bark or Howl: Not really... except when he greets his foster at home out of joy.

• Likes & Dislikes: He likes other dogs and tug-of-war! He loves beef and he likes to get pets! /
He's not a fan of being chased or carried by people. He seems to get better as times go by though.
