Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet White🤍 💙 News & Updates: @_adogs_ ​1⃣ Health Status * ​Neutered: Yes. ​* Microchipped, and heartworm Negative. ​* Has received professional dental scaling, but due to severe staining, his teeth may not appear perfectly white. One or two canines are slightly chipped, but since the nerves are not damaged, no immediate treatment is required. ​2⃣ Rescue Story * ​White was rescued from the Juksan dog meat farm. He endured the trauma of witnessing his friends being slaughtered before his eyes until Adogs successfully shut down the farm and brought him to safety. ​3⃣ Personality & Traits * ​Interaction with People: Is a bit shy and tends to cautiously avoid strangers. However, he can be won over with treats! While he stays close to those he knows, he still gets a bit "flighty" when someone reaches out to touch him. If gently cornered, he accepts touch well, and familiar faces can pet him anywhere without issue. Though not yet overtly affectionate, he is slowly opening his heart. We believe he will bond quickly once he settles into a consistent home environment. * ​Interaction with Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs. He isn't the type to rush up to new dogs, but plays and runs around happily with his familiar furry friends. * ​Interaction with Cats: Not yet tested. * ​Separation Anxiety: Unknown, as he currently lives in a group setting at the center. * ​House Training: Currently only relieves himself outdoors at the center. * ​Grooming: Might try to run away when it's time for maintenance, but once you catch him, he is very well-behaved during petting and brushing. * ​Walking: Is still getting used to leash walks and can be a bit nervous. We recommend walking in quiet, familiar areas. Doesn't pull on the leash, but may "freeze" or resist moving if he encounters something scary. Needs patient, consistent practice. * ​Car Rides: Travels well without any motion sickness. * ​Mouthiness/Biting: Has never shown any defensive or territorial biting. * ​Barking: Rarely barks, though he sometimes joins in when other dogs bark at visitors. * ​Likes: Loves treats! His motivation for food often helps him overcome his fear of people. * ​Dislikes: Is wary and fearful of strangers, vehicles, and unfamiliar external stimuli.

Story
* Special Notes: Jinu was born with a deformity in his left front leg, but it has never defined him. He’s learned to walk in his own special way—and he can even run freely, full of joy and confidence. All Jinu needs now is a loving family to stand by his side, believe in him, and show him a world filled with adventures, warmth, and endless love🙏 • Rescue Story: Jinu’s story began with a miracle. Last July, his tiny mama was found on the streets and rescued just in time, moments before euthanasia, and brought safely to our partner clinic. On August 3rd, she gave birth to six puppies—Jinu was one of them. Jinu was born with a deformity in his left front leg and had a harder start than his siblings. With special care and love from the clinic staff, he grew up healthy and strong. One of his siblings has already found a forever home, and Jinu is now waiting for his turn at the shelter. Despite his slightly weaker leg, Jinu is a bright, happy, and positive pup who loves life. He deserves a family who will see his resilience and give him the joyful life he’s been waiting for! • Personality: Sweet, Playful, Friendly As a young puppy, Jinu's personality will continue to blossom with love and guidance. He has that joyful puppy energy that fills a home with laughter and happy chaos. • Affinity with - Dogs: Good with other dogs. - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Loves people! He hasn’t had experience with children yet, but given his young age, he is expected to adapt quickly. • Housetrained: Work in progress • Walking Manners: pretty good on a leash! • Likes: Loves people's pets and cuddles! • Shedding level (1~10): Expected to be moderate once fully grown (5–6) • Health - Vaccinations: up to date - Jinu was born with a deformity in his left front leg, but it has never defined him. He’s learned to walk in his own special way—and he can even run freely, full of joy and confidence. All Jinu needs now is a loving family to stand by his side, believe in him, and show him a world filled with adventures, warmth, and endless love🙏 ----------- **Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation, Customs and export documentation, Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee.
