My story

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

Youngtu | 7 years old | Poodle



Name: Youngtu



Age: 7 years



Sex: Spayed female



Breed: Poodle



Coat: Beige



Weight: 3.2 kg



Height: 30 cm (shoulder height)



 



Rescue Story



 



Youngtu was adopted as a puppy, but due to her adopter’s life circumstances—including the birth of a child and an overseas work assignment—she was unfortunately surrendered and returned to rescue.



She has now been living in a foster home for about one month, where she has been adjusting well and enjoying the stability of home life again.



 



Human Socialization



Youngtu is very affectionate and people-oriented. She approaches both familiar and unfamiliar people happily, rubs against them, and enjoys being touched.



She tends to seek a lot of human attention and companionship.



 



She has not had direct experience with children under 13.



Youngtu is comfortable being picked up with an arm under her belly and will often show her belly even to people she has just met—an indication of her friendly and trusting nature.



 



Dog Socialization



Youngtu will approach unfamiliar dogs to greet them but generally does not engage in play.



She tends to feel intimidated by dogs larger than herself.



 



If another dog provokes her, she may react defensively, so careful introductions are important, especially with new or unfamiliar dogs.



When a new dog enters a space she was already occupying, she may attempt to assert herself by nipping toward the other dog’s rear or rushing toward them in a confrontational way. Proper management and guidance are recommended in multi-dog settings.



 



Cats



On walks, Youngtu may look at cats with curiosity, but she follows her handler well and redirects easily when guided.



 



Energy Level



Youngtu has a moderate energy level. She enjoys outdoor activities and walks, but settles calmly and rests quietly afterward.



 



Walks



Youngtu is generally does not pull. She follows her handler well.



When encountering other dogs on walks, she may sometimes pass calmly, but at other times may initiate or respond to tension—especially if the other dog growls. While injuries have not occurred, brief scuffles can happen, so continued leash manners training and attentive handling are recommended.



 



Additional Notes



• No food guarding toward people



• May growl if another dog approaches while she is eating (separate feeding works well)



• Calm and well-mannered in a crate



• Currently potty trained for both indoor and outdoor elimination



 



Youngtu is a loving, human-focused companion who would thrive in a home that can provide guidance, structure, and thoughtful dog introductions. With the right environment, she will be a deeply devoted and affectionate family member.

More about this rescue

Adopt Korean Rescue is a volunteer-based federally registered not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping homeless and unwanted dogs in South Korea find a new home in Canada.

We love Korean dogs. Many of them live in chains, give birth on the side of the road, or wander around with their pups. Some of them get caught and end up at dog meat farms or high-kill shelters in South Korea. They luckily meet us just before euthanasia or after many years of living in dog meat farms. We exist to hold their paws and help them find a forever home in Canada full of joy and happiness.

Our dog rescue work depends on our flight volunteers. They help us safely bring our dogs from Korea to Vancouver or Toronto airports, where the dogs will find loving forever or foster homes.
