PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A COURTESY POSTING We are posting Misty on behalf of her senior rescuer who is no longer able to care for her dogs and is forced to rehome her pets due to long term health issues. Our rescue will also help by sending our adoption application and help her evaluate each applicant. ABOUT MISTY Misty is 6 yrs old and weighs approximately 17 lbs. Her soft coat has the benifit of being non shed. Misty was rescued from a young drug addicted woman who ended up at her local Er. Sadly, Misty was left alone in the apartment for a full 5 days prior to being rescued. Nevertheless, Misty is a loving, affectionate little gal who still trusts all humans. She has an excellent temperament all around. She is gentle and very affectionate, very sociable with other dogs and trustworthy with dog savvy cats. She is leash trained and has an excellent recall. However, she would chase wild life so she must be kept on leash when outdoor in unfenced areas. She is housebroken and peepad trained She is non destructive and can safely be given free range in the house. Misty is calm and quiet although, she will bark to alert when someone knocks at the door. She is an easy dog to care for and fall in love with.

Aside from these situations, she is generally very quiet. --- 🍽 Food & Health Notes Medical history: Heartworm (treated), past pancreatitis Diet: Must eat a pancreatitis-friendly prescription diet Treats: Limited — snack restriction required Appetite: Strong food motivation When other animals are present, she may eat quickly or guard food → Separated feeding is recommended She may pick up dropped human food, so supervision is needed --- 🐕 Leash Walking & Travel ✔ Walks very well with a collar and leash ✔ Rides well in cars (may pant slightly but remains calm) --- 🚪 Escape Tendencies Low overall risk, but in frightening situations, caution is advised and secure handling is recommended. --- 🧸 Destructive Behavior Rare when alone.

After an elderly owner passed away, the home was found with deceased cats, one surviving cat, and Charlie — who had been left confined in the bathroom with a wire muzzle tied around his mouth.   After the scene was cleared by authorities and the landlord, Charlie was placed in temporary care and then transferred to a municipal shelter. Despite what he went through, Charlie has remained affectionate, intelligent, and deeply people-oriented.     ‍‍ With People   Charlie loves people and seeks connection.   • Approaches both familiar and new people with friendly body rubs • May be slightly shy at first, but warms up quickly with treats • Allows handling and enjoys being held when supported under the belly • Often shows his belly once comfortable — sometimes even to new people • Generally more comfortable with women • Can be fearful of some men and needs patient, calm introductions     With Other Dogs   Charlie is social and playful with other dogs.   • Greets both familiar and unfamiliar dogs and invites them to play • Friendly with dogs both larger and similar in size • If another dog challenges him, he may respond — so careful introductions are important   Cats & Prey Drive   • Has lived in a multi-cat household for about 5 months • On walks, he may stare at cats but will follow his handler • Shows prey drive toward birds   Energy & Activity   Charlie has medium to high energy and has athletic ability.   • Loves outdoor activity and play • Settles well after proper exercise • Needs daily physical and mental stimulation   He has even kept up with Border Collies and Malinois for hours of play — he is small but mighty.     On Walks   • Walks well on leash without pulling • Loves to sniff and may stop often to explore     At Home   • Uses both pee pads and outdoor potty • Calm and well-behaved in a kennel • Gets in and out of the car on his own • May bark at unfamiliar people     Food & Training   • Not food-protective toward people • May growl if another dog approaches while he is eating • Extremely food-motivated — excellent for training     Play, Training & Intelligence   Charlie is smart, athletic, and playful.   • Loves fetch, tug, and chasing toys • Prefers soft toys like socks and plushies • Enjoys puzzle toys and food-dispensing toys • Strong bite strength — toys wear out quickly   He has even won local competitions for: “Sit & Stay” “Find the Treat”   He thrives in homes that enjoy training, agility, and interactive play.     The Right Home   He needs: A confident, consistent handler Daily exercise and mental stimulation Structured introductions to new dogs and people   In return, he becomes deeply loyal, funny, energetic, and emotionally bonded to his person — a true partner for someone who enjoys an active life with their dog.   Charlie is ready to give his whole heart to the person who gives him stability, leadership, and love.

 QUICK FACTS Name: Kongsoon Age: Around 2 years old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Chihuahua, Jindo mix Color: Brown Weight: 10kg / 22lbs Fully Vaccinated, Microchipped, and Dewormed.   MY RESCUE STORY Hi! I’m Kongsoon. I was rescued from a city pound where I was sadly placed on the euthanasia list because there wasn’t enough space. Luckily, kind rescuers saw my spirit and gave me a second chance at life! Now, I’m safe, healthy, and ready to find my forever home.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Spayed & no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY When you meet me, you’ll notice just how charming I am! My face is a rare and adorable mix of a Jindo and a Chihuahua — a combination you don’t see every day! I’m a little shy at first, but with gentle encouragement, I warm up quickly. I also get along well with other dogs and enjoy making new furry friends.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I’m a little shy at first, but with some time and tasty treats, I quickly warm up and enjoy being petted. Once I trust you, I’ll happily show my belly — and you can even pick me up! · With Dogs: I’m friendly with dogs! I love meeting new furry friends, and playtime is one of my favorite parts of the day. I generally get along best with dogs bigger than me. · With Cats: I haven’t had much experience with cats yet, so my reaction is still unknown.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a high energy level and need plenty of playtime and walks outside before I can relax and settle indoors.   TRAINING & HABITS I walk well on leash and follow my handler’s lead nicely. I don’t guard my food against people, but I can be sensitive around other dogs during mealtime and may growl to protect my space — separate feeding is recommended with multiple dogs. I can bark for attention or when meeting strangers, but I rest calmly in my kennel and prefer to potty outdoors. I do have some separation anxiety and, in the past, have chewed or had accidents when left alone. I’ll need guidance and patience as I adjust to my new family. I’m full of energy and love adventures, so it’s important I get plenty of exercise and playtime before being left alone.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m searching for a patient, loving family who can help me grow and become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: A very active family that will provide me with plenty of outdoor walks and adventure! A family who understands my love for food and is patient in helping me feel comfortable eating around other dogs. A family that understands my initial shyness and provide me with gentle encouragement so I learn to become more confident.   SPECIAL NOTES I warm up quickly and absolutely adore people! I love snuggling with my foster family at night and showering them with kisses. I get along well with all dogs, though I need a little guidance around food — I don’t mind sharing treats, but I’m sensitive if other dogs approach my bowl during mealtime. I have a playful, mischievous side that keeps life fun and entertaining! While I usually rest calmly in my kennel, I’ve recently started a little game of sneaking away, showing off my cheeky personality. I’m a level 2 rescue dog, which means I’ll need a few days to settle in and may be a bit shy at first in my new home.   Kongsoon's YouTube Playlist   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2572827##
