My story

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

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

Meet Lulu👋 In April 2025, a group of small dogs—likely victims of an illegal breeding operation—were found abandoned together on the streets of South Korea. Lulu was one of them. Her sagging nipples hinted at the harsh life she had endured, likely used repeatedly for breeding. Lulu is ready to leave her difficult past behind and finally enjoy life as a cherished member of a loving family. While learning how to live with humans in her foster home, she’s looking for a forever home where she’ll be cared for and loved the way she deserves.

• Personality: Gentle, Calm, Sweet
Lulu doesn’t seem to have received much love from humans in the past. She doesn’t actively seek out attention or affection from volunteers, but she’s such a sweet and gentle little girl. We believe that with time and patience, once she learns how to interact and bond with people, her true personality will shine—just like any beloved family dog.

• Affinity with
- Dogs: She loves to say hello to other dogs gently
- Cats: Tries to chase
- Adults/Kids: Good with adults and kids - she needs more time with men.

• Walking Manners: With consistent practice at her foster home, she’s improved a lot! Now, one of her favorite activities is walking and sniffing!

• Housetrained: completely housebroken - uses pee pads indoors and goes potty outdoors as well. She'll need some housetraining in a new environment, though.

• Bathing/Brushing: Very good and calm

• Car Sickness: Comfortable with car rides

• Separation Anxiety: None

• Barks/Howls: None.

• Appetite/Food Allergies: No food allergies found so far - but after the struvite stone surgery, it’s best to watch her diet.

• Shedding level (1~10): 1-2

• Likes/Dislikes: She likes going for walks and saying hello to friends! / Needs slow introduction to men.

• Health: When rescued, Lulu was weak and suffering from hematuria caused by a bladder stone (struvite), which required immediate surgery. Thankfully, she has made a full recovery! While she can have regular kibbles, it’d be best to watch her diet going forward.
