Ma-eum spent his early years tied outside on a farm, living in fear.
He was abused by a male owner and frightened by children who threw balls at him.
Because of that, he is still afraid of men, loud playground sounds, and the sight of bouncing toys.
But despite all this, Ma-eum has the gentlest heart.
For the past two years, he has been living in a patient and loving foster home.
He has made slow, steady progress — on his terms — and is now ready for the next chapter of his life.
🧬 Personality
Ma-eum is a quiet, thoughtful boy with a soft energy.
He feels safest around gentle women with warm voices, and he truly thrives in calm, peaceful homes.
He may keep his distance from men indoors, but sometimes shows more courage when outdoors.
He isn’t the kind of dog who will run into your arms — but with time and patience, he’ll follow you anywhere.
He enjoys peaceful walks, nosework games, gentle pets, and long naps by your side.
He doesn't bark much, and he waits quietly when left alone after a short adjustment.
🏡 At Home
✅ House-trained (prefers peeing on vertical surfaces — his foster can provide wall-to-floor pads)
✅ Good with calm dogs (interested and social but may growl at overly excited dogs)
✅ Neutral to cats (no strong prey drive)
✅ Tolerates children (nervous around fast movements but never aggressive)
✅ Excellent in the car
✅ Loves brushing and gentle touch
🚫 Afraid of balls and squeaky toys — he prefers games with treats instead
💛 Ma-eum is looking for…
A family who will let him set the pace.
Someone who doesn’t expect instant cuddles but understands how meaningful it is when a shy dog chooses to stay close.
Ideally, a female adopter or a quiet household with gentle energy.
📦 Foster home can provide pee pad setup
📍 Adoption includes interview & home check
📩 If Ma-eum’s story touched your heart, we’d love to tell you more.
He’s been waiting a long time for someone who sees past the fear — and into his true, beautiful heart
