Meet the Pet
This helps Adopt Korean Rescue-NEW YORK with pet care costs.
Meet Chocoa!
Name: Chocoa
Age: 3 years
Sex: Neutered Male
Breed: Spitz–Jindo mix
Color: Black/Brown
Weight: 17kg
Height (shoulder): 45cm
His Rescue Story
Chocoa was found wandering near a rural farm and taken to a shelter.
He was rescued just in time before his scheduled euthanasia in February.
Now he’s safe, loved, and slowly learning how to trust again
Social with People
Chocoa is shy, cautious, and needs time to feel comfortable — especially with new men. With his current foster, it took a couple of days for him to accept touch, and he became familiar with new visitors after three to four visits.
Once he bonds, he becomes deeply attached — follows his person, comes when called, enjoys being close, and seeks gentle affection.
He loves head scratches, chin rubs, belly support when being held, and will nudge your hand or paw at you for more pets.
He can be picked up and handled safely.
Social with Dogs
He politely greets unfamiliar dogs and shows curiosity, but doesn’t yet know how to play with them.
He prefers exploring on his own and avoids conflict — if another dog challenges him, he simply walks away.
A calm, respectful dog companion or being the only dog would be ideal.
With Cats
During walks, he ignores cats and stays focused on his handler
Energy Level
Moderate, happy outdoors, relaxed and quiet at home.
After exercise, he rests peacefully.
Walks
He LOVES walks and gets excited when the leash comes out!
Comfortable with both collar and harness, although he may pull at times due to curiosity.
He generally follows his person well and enjoys exploring.
Other Behaviors
No resource guarding toward people or dogs
Rarely barks — may bark a few times if a new person enters the home
Quiet outside, even around strangers
Excellent with crate/kennel training — goes in willingly
Outdoor potty trained; may use indoor pad if necessary
Nervous about car rides — needs help being lifted in
Ideal Home
A patient, understanding family who will give him time to adjust and help build his confidence.
Once he trusts you, he becomes a loyal, affectionate, deeply devoted companion.
If you think Chocoa could be part of your family, we’d love to hear from you!
