My story

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

Current Location: Korea 🇰🇷
🐾✨ Meet JISU — A Gentle & Sweet Pom Mix Girl Looking for Her Forever Family ✨🐾

🌸 A soft soul who just wants to belong. 🌸

📌 Basic Info
🐶 Name: Jisu (JISU)
🎀 Age: 3 years old
👧 Gender: Female
⚖️ Weight: 4.9 kg
🐾 Breed: Pomeranian Mix
💉 Vaccinations / Spay-Neuter: Completed

💛 Personality & Charm
Jisu is shy at first, but she really wants to be close to people.
She quietly stays nearby, observes, trusts slowly… and then one day, she melts into your arms and holds on tight. 🥹💞
Calm, gentle, and loving — the perfect companion for a peaceful home.

👨‍👩‍👧 With Adults & Kids
🧑 Adults: Takes time to warm up, but becomes affectionate and loyal once she trusts you
🧒 Kids: Calm and gentle, okay with being next to them or being touched
⚠️ If kids run or shout loudly, she chooses to observe from a distance

🐶 With Other Animals
🐕 Dogs: Excellent! — polite greetings and sometimes playful with her favorite friends
🐱 Cats: Good! — sniffs and ignores
🦜 Lives peacefully with a parrot in her foster home

🚽 House-training
✨ 100% reliable!
✔ Outdoor potty
✔ Indoor pee pads
✔ Balcony turf
➡️ Very easy and stress-free

🔋 Energy Level
⚡ Low ~ Medium
🏡 Quiet and peaceful at home
🐕 At the park, lightly plays with familiar friends or just jogs along with the group

🗣 Separation Anxiety / Barking / Aggression
💛 Separation anxiety: ❌
🔔 Barking: ❌ (very minimal)
💥 Aggression: ❌
If scared, she may growl or bark once/twice to say “I’m uncomfortable” — never attacks.

🚶‍♀️ Walks & Car Rides
🌳 Loves walking
🪑 If you sit on a bench, she sits right beside you for comfort 🥹
🚗 Excellent in the car — even waits politely before getting in

🏃 Escape Tendency
Because she can get startled, double safety (double leash + secure harness) is recommended.
In familiar places, even if the leash slips, she stays close and doesn’t run far.
➡️ Once bonded, she wants to stay within her person’s sight ❤️

🐾 Rescue Story
Jisu lived one year at Gokseong Shelter with her sister Subin.
On the day they were scheduled for euthanasia, both were rescued together.
She was pregnant at the time and later gave birth to three puppies (she is 💗 Pony’s mom).
Now, after everything she has survived… it’s finally her turn to be loved.

📍 Jisu is ready for her forever home.
She doesn’t need much — just patience, kindness, and a safe heart to land in. 🤍
If you think she may be the missing piece of your family…♡

Additional adoption info

At Welcome Paws Rescue, our adoption process is designed to ensure the best possible match between our dogs and their future families. After submitting the application form on our website, our team will review your information to determine if your home and lifestyle align with the needs of the dog you're interested in. If your application is a good fit, we will contact you to schedule a phone or video interview. This is followed by a reference check and, in many cases, a virtual or in-person home visit. Once approved, we’ll work 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 to ensure a smooth and successful 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.
