Story
Hi hoomans! My name is Hoji and here is some info about me:
PHYSICAL INFO:
• Breed: Jindo Mix • Age: approx 2 years• Gender: Female • Weight: 15 lbs (6.8 kg) • Height: 40 cm (paws to top of my head)• Length: 60 cm (head to butt)• Current Location: S. KOREA
RESCUE STORY - I was living at the Gimje Shelter, where the conditions were very harsh due to the freezing winter and the risk of infectious diseases. To ensure I didn't have to face that harsh winter alone, some kind hoomans stepped in for an emergency rescue and busted me outta there!
TEMPERAMENT - I may be a little shy when we first meet, but give me a gentle moment, and you’ll see my sweet personality shine! Once I recognize a familiar face, my tail starts wagging, and I’ll happily come over for pets and cuddles. I feel safest when hands approach from down low, where I can see them (those surprise head pats from above can make me unsure), but once I trust you, I melt into affection and may even roll onto my back for the very best belly rubs. I’m a cozy girl at heart who loves lounging on soft cushions or anywhere comfy. I do enjoy short bursts of fun, especially when treats are involved and sometimes when playing with other dogs (puppies are extra exciting!), but I’m just as happy settling back down for snuggles and a good nap.
ENERGY LEVEL – Low to Medium
GETS ALONG WITH:
• Kids – Unknown. [Haven’t met children before so unsure how I will react]• Dogs – Yes, I get along with other dogs at the shelter, especially puppies• Cats – Unknown. [Haven’t met cats before so unsure how I will react]
PREY DRIVE - Unknown. 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 – Work in progress. I’m still building my confidence with the leash. I can feel a little nervous at the beginning and end of walks, and I may need to be carried to help me get started and settled back in. Once I’ve had a moment to adjust, I slowly relax, start sniffing around, and take in my surroundings. With patience, reassurance, and a calm approach, I continue to improve. I’ll need an adopter who’s happy to help me grow in this area, a well-fitted harness and some gentle, consistent leash training will help set me up for success! • House trained – Work in progress. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home :)
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 will be tested for Heartworm etc. before flying to Canada.NOTE: It is not uncommon for rescue dogs to require dental work/cleaning after they are adopted. West Coast Paws does not cover the costs of dental work and/or vet visits. These costs are the financial responsibility of the adopter.
ADOPTION FEE:
My adoption fee is $840 ($750.00 CAD + applicable taxes) which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.
