My personality

My story

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

Meet Ari
Current Location : S. KOREA

📌 Breed: Welsh Corgi
📌 Age: Estimated 3 years old
📌 Sex: Female
📌 Weight: 13 kg
📌 Spayed/Neutered: Yes, spayed

💛 Temperament
Ari gets along well with both men and women, though she seems to feel a bit more comfortable with female caregivers. She loves every human she meets on walks and eagerly rolls over for belly rubs. She has never shown any aggression and has only displayed a sweet, gentle nature.

👶 Good with Children?
Yes. She happily greets all people, including kids, and immediately shows her belly.

🐶 Good with Other Dogs?
Ari mostly ignores other dogs. Even when another dog comes up to sniff her, she acts as if nothing is happening and simply minds her own business.

🐱 Good with Cats?
She has never met a cat yet.

🍖 Food Motivation
She LOVES food. She finishes her meals instantly and enjoys treats as well.

⚡ Energy Level
Ari has a low activity level. She prefers short walks—after about 15 minutes she tends to stop walking, likely because she is currently a bit overweight.

🦮 Leash Trained?
Yes.

🏡 Crate/Kennel Trained?
She has not been formally crate trained, but she loves having her own space. If you lay out a blanket, she chooses that spot to rest.

🚻 House-Trained?
Yes. She uses indoor pee pads but also does her business well during walks.

🗣 Barking
She rarely barks. She may bark briefly out of excitement when someone comes home, but otherwise she is very quiet.

🏃‍♀️ Escape Risk
Yes — Ari is a little bit scary. She may run and hide suddenly when she feels startled, even inside the house. Extra caution is needed during the adjustment period.

🤗 Handling
She absolutely loves being touched and will expose her belly all day for pets. No issues with handling any part of her body.

🧸 Destructive Behavior
In the beginning, she chewed a computer cable, so everything is now covered. She has also torn a pee pad twice. Other than that, she hasn’t caused trouble. She’s still learning how to play with plush toys, so she plays only in short sessions.

🎁 Resource Guarding
No signs of guarding food or toys.

🩺 Health Issues
None at this time.

🐾 Rescue Story
Ari was rescued from a breeding facility. She is incredibly sweet, gentle, and affectionate, but also sometimes frightened due to her past. With patience, love, and a calm environment, she will blossom into a wonderful companion.

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.
