My story

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

Current Location: Korea 🇰🇷 ♡

🐾 Hershey – The Short-Legged Sweetheart 🐾



💗 Personality

Loves human touch and attention, very affectionate even with strangers.

No biting.

Curious and loves other dogs (would do great as a second dog).

High energy level (5/5) due to his young age.

Shares food and treats with other dogs without fighting (especially loves treats).

📜 Rescue Story

Found wandering dangerously along a roadside with a metal chain still attached to him and was rescued to safety.

🐶 Social Skills

With Adults: Friendly to everyone regardless of age or gender; loves being petted.

With Kids: (Not yet tested – can be assessed if needed)

With Dogs: Very social; approaches first to give playful signals.

With Cats: No aggression; friendly and shows positive interest.

🏡 Living Habits

Potty Training: Likely lived chained outdoors before, but does not show excessive marking. Prefers to go near or on pee pads; may mark over spots where other dogs have marked.

Toys: Not particularly toy-focused, but enjoys small plush toys and playing with items like towels or light T-shirt material.

Separation/Barking: May whine or bark a little when left in a separate space, but calms down quickly.

Walks: Slight leash pulling but walks well overall.

Handling: Enjoys being touched even by strangers.

Escape Risk: Afraid to step outside the door, but caution is still advised. Goes up stairs well but is careful going down.

Car Rides: Has little experience, so needs to be lifted into the car, but gets out easily. In a travel kennel, may scratch to get out at first but settles quickly.

🌟 Adoption Notes

Hershey is an active, social, and happy boy. He would thrive in a home with another friendly dog or with a family who can give him plenty of walks and activities. With his affectionate nature toward both people and animals, he will quickly bond with his forever family.

Additional adoption info

At Welcome Paws Korean Dog Rescue, our adoption process is thoughtfully designed to ensure the best possible match between our dogs and their future families. After submitting the application form on our website, our team carefully reviews your information to determine whether your home and lifestyle align with the needs of the dog you're interested in. If your application appears to be a good fit, we will reach out to schedule a phone or video interview. This step is typically followed by a reference check and, in many cases, a virtual or in-person home visit. Once approved, we’ll work closely with you to finalize the adoption and arrange transportation or pick-up. Our goal is to support both our dogs and adopters throughout the entire process, ensuring a smooth, positive, and lasting transition.

More about this rescue

Welcome Paws Korean Dog Rescue is a registered nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, run entirely by a passionate team of volunteers who are deeply committed to the welfare and well-being of animals. Our mission is to rescue dogs in need and give them a second chance at life.

We believe every animal—regardless of age, size, or breed—deserves to experience love, safety, and the comfort of a forever home. Through our rescue efforts, we work to create brighter futures for these deserving animals, ensuring they have the opportunity to live happy, healthy lives.

Our dedication goes beyond rescue. We work tirelessly to save stray, neglected, abused, and at-risk shelter animals. Each dog in our care lives in a loving foster home and receives full medical attention before being matched with a permanent family.

We also strive to raise awareness about the importance of compassion and responsible pet ownership. By providing adopters with quality education and support, we ensure each adoption is successful and lasting. We don’t measure success in numbers—but in the positive, life-changing impact we make for both animals and the families who welcome them home.
