My story

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

🐾✨ Meet Rikko – A Spirited Sweetheart Who Loves Her Friends! ✨🐾
She was rescued from a dog meat farm in Yeoju, Korea, where she was the tiniest among 13 dogs facing a tragic fate.

📌 Basic Info
❤ Age: 1 year
❤ Gender: Female
❤ Weight: 29 lb
❤ Breed: Jindo mix
❤ Color: White with light brown ears

💛 Personality & Behavior
✔ Friendly with Women: Super affectionate – wags her tail and greets with love
✔ Friendly with Men: Just as affectionate – loves all people equally
✔ Kid-Friendly: Great with children – gentle and loves giving kisses
✔ Dog-Friendly: Extremely social – adores all dogs, big and small
✔ Cat-Friendly: Startled but shows no aggression when seeing cats
✔ Aggression: None
✔ Energy Level: High – loves to run and play, especially off-leash
✔ Handling: Very comfortable with being touched and handled
✔ Barking: Rare, though may bark at older men wearing hats
✔ Escape Tendencies: None, but still in leash/harness training
✔ Destructive Behavior: Normal puppy chewing – loves her wooden chew sticks

🏡 Training & Habits
✔ House Training: Fully pee-pad trained – very reliable indoors
✔ Crate Training: In progress – shows no resistance
✔ Leash Walking: Was initially scared, but now walks confidently
✔ Leash Reactivity: None – friendly to both dogs and people
✔ Car Rides: Calm and relaxed
✔ Food: Great appetite – enjoys kibble, duck, and salmon

🌟 Ideal Home
Rikko thrives in the company of other dogs and would do wonderfully in a home with a friendly dog companion.
However, she could also do very well as a solo pup with a loving human.

A yard would be a bonus for her playful spirit, but she is also apartment-friendly as long as she gets enough activity and stimulation.

💖 Why Rikko is Special
Rikko is playful, smart, and incredibly loving.
Despite her difficult early life, she is full of joy and ready to bloom with her forever family.

✨ Adopt Rikko and help her begin a beautiful new chapter! ✨
