1. Health Condition
* Spay: Complete
* Others: Microchipped, hernia surgery complete, and is being treated for anaplasmosis.
* Had luxating patella surgery done on her left leg (grade 3). Care is needed to prevent her from moving excessively after the surgery.

2. Rescue Story
* Somsom was rescued with her mother #AdogsDasom at a shelter in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do after the Andong fires. She stayed in a temporary shelter afterward. However, the chief of the shelter was in need of treatment of burns due to the fire, and caring for her became difficult. Therefore, Adogs urgently rescued her.

3. Basic Information
* With People: Was very shy with strangers before but has gotten much better. Is a total affectionate cutie with those familiar with her! Shows her belly and keep asking to be petted.
* With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs, not fighting with them. Does not tend to play energetically but is a pacifist. Does not respond and ignores other dogs who tease or bark at her. Just growls at them as a warning signal. Has a wonderful personality and got along well with the dogs at the center. Growls at times due to jealousy when other dogs approach a person she likes, but stops immediately if you tell her no.
* Separation Anxiety: Looks for people when left alone, and howls quietly a few times. Consistent training after being adopted will be important as her environment changes.
* Potty Training: Does potty indoors and uses pads accurately! Is very cautious and does potty outdoors only when it is quiet and she feels safe.
* Hygiene: Is a gentle dog who takes bath, paw pad fur trimming, brushing, and ear cleaning nicely. Is timid and sensitive to sound so she is a little afraid of dryers. Tries to hide her paws for nail trims, so they’re being trimmed one or two nails at a time.
* Walks: Is getting training after her interest in walking developed to a little pulling on the leash. Pulls a little when she needs to potty. Isn’t interested in other animals on walks, but gets scared of loud sounds, big movements, people who come close, and unfamiliar dogs.
* Car Sickness: Waits in the car quietly without car sickness while traveling.
* Biting: No biting!
* Barking: Sometimes barks when a loud noise wakes her up.
* Dislikes: Is scared of loud noises and big movements.. May have pee accidents when she gets very scared. Really dislikes taking medicine but will eat it if hidden in a treat.
