My personality

Why I need a new home

Found or abandoned

My story

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

Turtle was a lost dog who found me at work. He stayed with us for a few weeks before he went back to his previous home, and then showed up back at our door a few days later and they said we should keep him. We were not necessarily prepared for a dog to join our family but we have been doing our best. However, we are realizing he needs more attention and consistency than we can give.

Turtle is a Jindo breed dog. He is a young adult, our guess is 3 or 4 years old. He loves to sniff and explore trails and natural areas, but is NOT trained to be an off-leash dog. As a dog who has spent time on the street, he can be anxious. He does not like to walk on busy streets and is frightened by fireworks etc but does okay with music instruments at our house. He is very gentle in almost every situation, but there have been several times he has been stepped on while sleeping and has lashed out and nipped people. We have a kid, so because of this we need to find a new, peaceful home for him.
