My story

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

Hi, my name is Donny 🤍
I’m a female Jindo mix, I weigh about 18kg (40 lb), and I’m 3 years old.

From the time I was very young,
I lived tied up in front of a factory.
I never got to leave that spot.
I was just… there.

A short leash.
A few fixed steps I could take.
And a space I had to protect—because no one else would.

That factory wasn’t a playground or a place to rest.
It was my entire world.
A world where surviving was the only goal.

I never learned how to meet people freely.
I never learned how to make dog friends.
My role was simple:
guard my space,
stay alive.

Because of that life,
I never had the chance to learn how to socialize with other dogs.
When you grow up having to protect your space to survive,
“other dogs” don’t feel like friends to play with.

They can feel like something you must guard against.
Not because you are aggressive—
but because no one ever taught you another way.

So if I seem uncomfortable around other dogs,
please know this isn’t a flaw in my personality.
It’s simply the mark of a life
where I was never given the chance to learn.

That’s why I’m looking for a home
where I can be the only dog.
A home where, for the first time,
I don’t have to share love—
but can receive it fully, completely,
for the rest of my life.

I spent so long tied up,
never chosen,
never held.
Just once,
I want to be someone’s everything.

With people, I am incredibly gentle.
Soft-hearted, affectionate,
and full of sweet charm.
I love human attention more than anything.

Real home life is new to me.
Even though I’m three years old,
my heart is still like a puppy’s—
playful, curious,
and easily surprised by the world.

If I’m adopted,
I’ll need to learn everything from the beginning:
potty training,
living inside a home,
sharing everyday life with people.

That’s why I need a family
who won’t rush me,
who will wait,
who will teach me with patience and love.
Someone who will walk at my pace.
Slowly. Gently. Respectfully.

Please—
just look at me once.

I truly believe that if I meet my family,
I will return the love I missed for so long
many times over.

I’ll be a loyal, devoted, and deeply loving companion—
the kind of dog
you can walk beside for a lifetime 🤍
