My name is YANGYANG!

Hi friends! My name is YangYang and here is some info about me:

PHYSICAL INFO:

• Breed: Jindo Mix 


• Age: 7 months 


• Gender: Female 


• Weight: 14 lbs (6.5 kg) 


• Height: 46 cm (paws to top of my head)


• Length: 57 cm (head to butt)


• Current Location: S. KOREA 

RESCUE STORY - Like many of my Korean doggy friends, I was found living at the crowded Gimje City Shelter along with my mother, Ivy, and my siblings. It was becoming more difficult to care for us puppies in the shelter with poor conditions, and so we were quickly rescued by some kind hoomans so that we wouldn’t have to spend a long time alone during the Chuseok holidays! 

TEMPERAMENT - I like hoomans a lot and will even approach strangers. Once I become familiar with someone I grow even more affectionate and adorable, happily following them around and enjoying their company! As is true to my Jindo roots, I will likely bond hard and fast with one person and may take a bit longer to warm up to others. When hoomans go at my pace, I show my appreciation by uncovering my sweet, loving personality. I get along very well with other pups and currently live with one, however I may bark at them at first when I'm on a leash. This is just because I'm a bit aprehensive and I would love a patient adopter who can work with me on this! My energy levels are balanced, with bursts of puppy energy, especially when I'm around other puppies and they approach me asking to play! Generally, however, I prefer to snuggle up next to a hooman or a friend on a soft surface. Once I become familiar with a hooman, I especially enjoy cuddling and affection!

ENERGY LEVEL – Medium to High

GETS ALONG WITH:

• Kids – Unknown. Haven’t met children before so unsure how I will react.


• Dogs – Yes! I am currently staying at my foster's house with another dog that I get along well with. When I meet other dogs during walks, I tend to bark at them at first as I can be apprehensive.


• Cats – Unknown. Haven’t met cats before so unsure how I will react.

PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around squirrels/rabbits etc., so my adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.

TRAINING:

• Leash skills – Work in progress. I know how to walk on a leash as you can see here and here. but I get easily startled by loud noises and also when I meet other dogs during walks, I tend to bark at them at first as I can be apprehensive.
  
  
  
  
  • I will need an adopter who is happy to work with me on my leash manners. A well-fitted harness and some dedicated leash training will help set me up for success!
  
  
  
  


• House trained – Work in progress. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home :)

Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives. 

HEALTH NOTES:

• I am spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records.


• I will be tested for Heartworm etc. before flying to Canada.


• NOTE: It is not uncommon for rescue dogs to require dental work/cleaning after they are adopted. West Coast Paws does not cover the costs of dental work and/or vet visits. These costs are the financial responsibility of the adopter.

ADOPTION FEE:

• 
  

  My adoption fee is $840.00 CAD (including 5% GST & 7% PST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.
