Story
If you're looking for a calm laid back guy, I'm the one for you. oh, I'm not lazy I love to get out and play and run and be a goofball, but I can also settle in next to my people and just be a couch tater. what i want most is to be by my people. I am potty and crate trained, but I really don't need a crate. I would love to have some kiddos to play with or another calm dog. but I'm not real fond of kitty cats.

Story
🐾✨ Meet Rikko – A Spirited Sweetheart Who Loves Her Friends! ✨🐾 She was rescued from a dog meat farm in Yeoju, Korea, where she was the tiniest among 13 dogs facing a tragic fate. 📌 Basic Info ❤ Age: 1 year ❤ Gender: Female ❤ Weight: 29 lb ❤ Breed: Jindo mix ❤ Color: White with light brown ears 💛 Personality & Behavior ✔ Friendly with Women: Super affectionate – wags her tail and greets with love ✔ Friendly with Men: Just as affectionate – loves all people equally ✔ Kid-Friendly: Great with children – gentle and loves giving kisses ✔ Dog-Friendly: Extremely social – adores all dogs, big and small ✔ Cat-Friendly: Startled but shows no aggression when seeing cats ✔ Aggression: None ✔ Energy Level: High – loves to run and play, especially off-leash ✔ Handling: Very comfortable with being touched and handled ✔ Barking: Rare, though may bark at older men wearing hats ✔ Escape Tendencies: None, but still in leash/harness training ✔ Destructive Behavior: Normal puppy chewing – loves her wooden chew sticks 🏡 Training & Habits ✔ House Training: Fully pee-pad trained – very reliable indoors ✔ Crate Training: In progress – shows no resistance ✔ Leash Walking: Was initially scared, but now walks confidently ✔ Leash Reactivity: None – friendly to both dogs and people ✔ Car Rides: Calm and relaxed ✔ Food: Great appetite – enjoys kibble, duck, and salmon 🌟 Ideal Home Rikko thrives in the company of other dogs and would do wonderfully in a home with a friendly dog companion.

A yard would be a bonus for her playful spirit, but she is also apartment-friendly as long as she gets enough activity and stimulation. 💖 Why Rikko is Special Rikko is playful, smart, and incredibly loving. Despite her difficult early life, she is full of joy and ready to bloom with her forever family. ✨ Adopt Rikko and help her begin a beautiful new chapter! ✨ 🤍🐾
