1⃣ Medical History
* Spaying: Completed.
* Microchipped, heartworm retest scheduled (September 2026) and anaplasmosis retest negative.
2⃣ Rescue Story
* When Adogs visited the shelter for winterization volunteer work, Hina had a wound from licking her leg severely, likely because her clothes were uncomfortable. To prevent the wound from getting worse and compromising her health, Adogs urgently rescued Hina.
3️⃣ Personality & Characteristics
* With People: Likes people, but is also very scared of them. Barks out of guardiness toward strangers, but happily accepts treats from them. If you approach her standing up, she runs away, but if you sit down and reach out your hand from the side, she comes over on her own to sniff and allows touching near her face or neck. Used to wag her tail and approach familiar people while trying to dodge their touch, but has improved a lot recently-if you hold her gently before touching her, she accepts physical affection well. Even approaches first when you are petting other dogs.
* With Other Dogs: Has great social skills, so she plays and jokes around well with other dogs at the center. Gets along and hangs out nicely with every friend she lives with.
* With Cats: Has not met any cats yet.
* Separation Anxiety: It is difficult to evaluate as she is currently living in a group setting at the center.
* Potty Training: It is hard to know precisely since she stays at the center. May need training from scratch once she goes to a home.
* Grooming/Hygiene: Due to her fearful nature, she shows nipping behavior, so hygiene care hasn't been possible yet. Aso nips when wearing a cone (e-collar), so it is still difficult to attempt grooming.
* Leash Walking: Because her tension levels are high, she needs to get used to walking gear step-by-step first, followed by leash training.
* Nipping: May growl and nip in situations where she feels scared, such as when putting on a cone or being cornered. Previously, she snapped if a stranger tried to touch or hold her blindly, but recently, instead of nipping, just flinches and quickly avoids being caught.
* Barking: Barks a lot at strangers. Also barks demandingly when asking for food or wanting to be let out of her kennel.
* Likes: Absolutely loves mealtime and treats. Because she loves food so much, she will even take treats from strangers.
* Dislikes: Is still scared of people. Feels uncomfortable when cornered or when someone tries to touch her suddenly. Because she fears being touched, she runs away if you try to reach for her before holding her.
* Overall Personality: Is timid, highly cautious, and generally has a high level of tension. At the time of rescue, she was shy and very wary of people, but now approaches familiar people first and accepts their touch. Recently, she has been improving by allowing physical contact up to being held. When touching her, if you pick her up slowly first and then proceed to pet her, she accepts it quietly. Needs a patient home that will calmly wait until she opens her heart.
