Meet Shori
Age: 1 year
Sex: Neutered male
Breed: Jindo mix
Color: Black / White
Weight: 13.7 kg
Height: 42 cm (shoulder height)
Rescue Story
Shori arrived at a municipal shelter as a young puppy along with his littermates. While all of his siblings were adopted, Shori was left behind and spent nearly a full year growing up in the shelter.
In late December, he was finally rescued and transferred to the AKR Center—where he’s now learning what love, play, and freedom feel like.
People Socialization
Shori likes people, but when meeting strangers, he tends to bark first—his way of saying “Who are you?”
Once treats are involved, he warms up quickly and allows gentle touching. At first, being picked up made him uneasy, so slow and careful handling was needed. As he gets comfortable, though, he’s totally fine being scooped up (even enthusiastically—though he may still wiggle sometimes!).
Once he considers you his person, Shori becomes very affectionate, follows you around, and happily shows his belly.
Dog Socialization
Shori is very social
He approaches both familiar and unfamiliar dogs with enthusiasm, inviting them to play. If he thinks it’ll be fun, he can be persistent about it.
He generally does well with most dogs, especially those similar in size or larger. He can play with smaller, high-energy dogs too, but more timid dogs may find him a bit overwhelming.
When play gets too intense for him, he’ll vocalize briefly and retreat—he’s not aggressive and communicates clearly.
Cats
No direct experience with cats yet, but cat testing is possible.
Energy Level
Shori is an active, playful young dog. After spending nearly a year in a shelter, he’s making up for lost time and loves playing nonstop with other dogs at the center.
A home with another playful dog would be a great match for him.
Walking & Leash Skills
He walks nicely on leash without pulling and does well in quiet areas.
Busy roads and heavy traffic still make him nervous, so he’s currently practicing and building confidence.
Other Notes
• No food guarding toward people
• Has a strong appetite and sometimes tries to steal food from other dogs—meals may be fed separately to avoid scuffles
• No separation anxiety
• Dislikes being confined; vocalizes when placed in a crate
• Nervous about getting into cars and needs to be carried in
• May poop shortly after meals and sometimes overnight
• Currently uses both indoor pee pads and outdoor potty
Shori is a bright, affectionate young dog who just needs a bit of patience, structure, and understanding as he continues adjusting to life outside the shelter. With the right home, he’ll thrive into a loyal, playful companion.
