Story
Hi! My name is GOJI (although my name in Korea is "Ohgong"), and here is some info about me:
PHYSICAL INFO:
Breed: Beagle / Jindo Mix (best guess, really!)
Age: approx. 5 years (Est. DOB: January 2021)
Gender: Male
Weight: 36 lbs (16 kg)
Height: 45 cm (ground to shoulders)
Length: 80 cm (nose to butt)
Current Location: SOUTH KOREA
RESCUE STORY – I was found on the streets of South Korea when I was about 3 months old, along with my five siblings. We were taken to a high-risk city shelter but thankfully, a rescue team swooped in and saved us just in time! After my initial rescue, I spent some time living with other puppy friends at a local shelter. Then, from June 2023 to April 2026, I had the wonderful opportunity to live in a foster home! I have truly loved my time with my foster family and learned so much about living happily with people Now I’m back at the shelter, waiting to find my furever home in Canada!
TEMPERAMENT – I am a sweet, calm, and gentle boy. I can be a little shy around men at first and may take a bit longer to warm up to them but overall I’m friendly and loving, even with new people! I really enjoy being pet and spending quiet time together with my humans.
It's always important to think about "breed need" when considering adoption! While our breed mixes are always a “best guess”, please keep in mind that:
Jindo's often bond hard and fast with one person and may take a bit longer to warm up to others. Jindo's are often quite skittish and can be picky about food (although all things improve with patience and time!).
Beagles are renowned for their friendliness, loyalty and gentle nature, but they can also be vocal and highly scent-driven. They often make fantastic family companions, however, their strong prey drive, vocalizations, and independent streak require consistent, patient training.
ENERGY LEVEL – Medium / Low. My rescuer says I’m a pretty chill dude. I’m usually calm and relaxed at home, but I do enjoy playtime, my squeaky toys, and a good run around at the park (video)!
GETS ALONG WITH:
Kids – Unknown. I’ve been okay with kids in the past, though I tend to be more indifferent than playful. I think I would prefer a home without children – more attention for me hehe!
As with all dogs, I should be supervised if around children and should have my space advocated for by adults.
Dogs – Good. While I’m very dog-friendly and don’t bark at other dogs, I prefer calm and friendly companions over overly energetic or dominant ones. I can get a little overwhelmed in a large dog crowd, but I am very gentle on a leash when saying hello to other dogs.
Cats – Unknown. I may chase cats out of curiosity, but I haven’t shown signs of aggression. A kitty-free home is probably best for me!
PREY DRIVE – I may chase small animals like birds or rodents if I spot them. I’m a beagle, what can I say?! 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 – Good. I’m a gentle and well-mannered walker! I stay in pace with my handler without pulling and respond nicely to cues like “Let’s go,” even when I’m busy sniffing – check out my skills in this video! I also like a good roll in the grass (video)… hehe!
House trained – When I was living in my foster home, I was fully house-trained and was trained to go potty both outdoors and on pee pads indoors. Because I've moved back to the shelter, I may regress in my potty training a bit (because there's soo many doggos here!). With positive reinforcement and lots of bathroom breaks, I'm sure I'll relearn quickly in my forever home.
Car rides – I’m pretty comfortable with car rides, and love going on adventures with my humans!
Grooming – I handle baths and brushing very well, as you can see here.
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 tested negative for Heartworm and will be tested again before flying to Canada.
I will have dental cleaning, if necessary, before flying to Canada.
ADOPTION FEE:
My adoption fee is $728.00 CAD including tax ($650.00 + 5% GST, 7% PST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.
