My story

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

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️
💟Available to fly to JFK&EWR💟

Meet Hongcha☕ (Hongcha is black tea in Korean!)
💙 Hongcha’s Updates Account: @_imbo_i_

1⃣ Health Status
* Spay: Complete.
* Others: Microchipped.
* Hongcha’s legs have recovered (verified by X-Ray) and there aren’t concerns over diabetes insipidus (high frequency of urination) currently.
* Is getting medicated baths for irritated skin.
* Gets prescripted ointment applied because red allergy symptoms appear on her stomach. Is almost completely recovered.

2⃣ Rescue Story
* Hongcha was brought to the Gimje shelter with her sibling Oolong in Adogs. The conditions at the shelter were very poor at that time, and the situation was worse due to the risk of deadly pavovirus infections for young dogs. Eventually, Hongcha along with Oolong and several puppies, were urgently rescued.

3⃣ Basic Matters
❗️Is still a puppy, so may need potty training or training to fix separation anxiety, biting, nipping, whining, destroying, howling, and barking.
❗️ It is difficult to predict shedding and adult size because her parents are unknown.
* With People: Is an affectionate cutie that likes to stick by your side! Is shy with strangers, but if you wait for her to approach first, she shows curiosity. Shows her affection by asking to be held with familiar people and likes to be held.
* With Dogs: Likes other dogs and is a popular dog who likes to play. However, she gets scared if other dogs make big movements or sudden noises and runs away.
* Separation Anxiety: Plays with her toys and falls asleep by herself when people are out. When left alone with someone else, she follows them around and looks for her guardian but waits well.
* Potty Training: Uses potty pads perfectly!
* Grooming: Does well with baths and brushing. Gets her toenails cut well if you hold her tight and trim them in with the help of another person!
* Walks: Has not had experience walking because her vaccinations aren’t complete.
* Car Sickness: Rides in a car without motion sickness.
* Biting: Is possessive of toys, but lets them go if you tell her to drop it.
* Barking: Whines when she doesn’t see her guardian since she’s still a puppy.
*Like It: Likes being next to people and being held!
* Dislike It: Is a little scared of strangers but lets her guard down quickly when seeing her guardian smile and talk with them.
* Tricks: Understands the commands like 'sit' and 'lie down'. Understands 'no!' and comes back if you call her name. If you call her name when you are sitting, she jumps and hugs you!
