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

Post-Adoption Support and Check-Ins
After your dog has settled in, we will periodically check in with you to ensure the adjustment process is going smoothly. This is a time to discuss your dog’s progress and address any questions or concerns you may have.

Our team is always here to provide guidance as needed during the transition to your new life together. All adopters must agree to provide periodic update of the adopted pet. Instagram account is highly recommended. All adopters must sign up for GPS tracker for 6 months to avoid losing pets.

Go meet their pets

All our dogs fly from Korea to the US when their adoptions are finalized. Therefore, we can not provide the "meet and greet." Multiple video clips will be provided and we will help you walk through the steps to reassure the adopted dog and the adopter are the best match for each other. Some dogs are available for meet and greet if the dogs are fostered in the US.
