My name is Fondue (S. Korea) hz!

Hi there, I'm Fondue!
Yep, just like the delicious dish—warm, cheesy, and totally lovable!

Breed: Jindo mix
Age: 1 year
Gender: Male    
Weight: 39 lb  Height: 15 inches
Highlight(s): Good with other dogs, affectionate, social

I was found wandering the streets, alone but hopeful. I had a microchip, but sadly, no one came looking for me. My previous owner had moved away and passed me on to a neighbor, but that trail went cold. So here I am now—on a new journey to find my true forever home.

I’ve spent some time with a lovely foster family and now I’m living at a doggy hotel, making lots of furry friends. I’m a social butterfly—full of joy, tail wags, and big smiles. I adore people and welcome new friends with open paws (and a wagging tail). Pet me, and I’ll flash you my happiest grin!

A few things about me:

• 
  

  I’m still in my puppy phase, which means I’m curious, bouncy, and full of energy!

  
  


• 
  

  I LOVE walks and exploring the world around me (except drainage grates—those things are spooky!).

  
  


• 
  

  My foster mom says I pull on the leash, but with your guidance—or a little help from a trainer—I know I can improve.

  
  


• 
  

  Bird-watching is my absolute favorite hobby. Seriously, I could do it for hours.

  
  

I’m great with other dogs and enjoy meeting new canine pals. I read doggie signals well and love a good play session once I feel comfy. I haven’t shown any signs of aggression or resource guarding—sharing is caring, right?

As for cats… let’s just say I get a little too excited when I see them. So, a cat-free home would be best for everyone.

Other good-to-know stuff:

• 
  

  I'm about 90% housetrained

  
  


• 
  

  I’m crate-trained in the car, but I might bark or whine a little if you leave me alone in a crate at home

  
  


• 
  

  I don’t bark much, but when I do—yep, you’ll hear it!

  
  


• 
  

  I may be short-legged, but I’m a jumper! I can clear a 90cm fence like it’s nothing

  
  

I know I’m not perfect (yet!), but I’m eager to learn and even more eager to love. If you're looking for a cheerful, loyal companion who’s always up for adventure (and bird-watching), I might just be your perfect match.

So… do you have room in your heart (and on your couch) for a little guy named Fondue?

Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.

Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.

Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.

The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.

Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.

Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
