RESCUE STORY - I came to Doremi Dog Rescue (S. Korea) in April 2025 after being rescued from a difficult situation. Before my rescue, I lived without the love and care I deserved for a long time. Thanks to a kind neighbour, I was brought to safety and given a new chance at life! Since arriving at the shelter, I have shown my true gentle and affectionate nature. I am ready to leave my past behind me and find my forever family!
TEMPERAMENT – I am a boy who loves people deeply and feels happiest when I've got human company. I am gentle and affectionate with people I trust. I loveeee walks, ride calmly in the car without a crate, and love to run alongside my guardian. I get the zoomies sometimes and love a good run in an open space. I am even a good boy when getting a bath (video). I am generally a very easy dog to handle and don't mind being touched, even on my belly. In true husky fashion, though, I don't like to be touched when I'm super focused on something (or eating food) and may growl or grumble if I'm uncomfortable.
While I get along with the small dogs at the shelter and am neutral around big dogs, I may prefer to be a solo-dog in my forever household. I am so deserving of all the love and undivided attention of my humans! I am a slow eater and sometimes leave my food and return to munch on it later. I like to have my own space when I eat, so feeding me away from the hustle and bustle of the home is preferred. I sometimes will howl when left alone (again, husky!!), so I may not be well-suited for apartment-living.
I am looking for a family who can provide regular walks and adventure, moderate exercise (I am a husky, after all!), and plenty of companionship. Think you're exactly what I'm looking for? Please apply to adopt me! I promise to be the most loyal companion!
ENERGY LEVEL – Medium. I am a healthy husky boy - so I require daily physical and mental activity to keep me feeling content. I am well suited for daily walks and would love some adventure experience - I hear the Pacific Northwest has mountains and trails and rivers and lakes... oh boy! After I've been sufficiently exercised, I am cool as a cucumber and happy to chill, snooze, and receive pets.
GETS ALONG WITH:
Kids – Unknown.
same with ALL dogs, if I am around children, I should be supervised! My humans need to advocate for my space and make sure I am respected :)
Dogs – Yup! I am currently living with 10 small dogs (under 10kg) at the shelter and I have met some larger dogs at a local doggy play cafe (click here to see - I share the space with the other dogs part way through the video). While I get along with dogs (video, video, video), I prefer the company of humans and gravitate to them in these settings.
When I first meet new dogs, I occasionally will growl (as if to establish a canine heirarchy), but I quickly settle after. This hasn't ever escalated to biting or fighting, but just something for my humans to be aware of. I do best when meeting dogs through a fence, followed by a neutral interaction (butt sniffs) and then I am ready to neutrally co-exist!
When treats are scattered for me and my shelter mates to eat freely, I can sometimes be a little sensitive (resource guarding). If feeding me around other dogs, it is best for me to be supervised and for my humans to advocate for my space. I haven't ever shown aggression, but I will growl and advocate for my space if humans don't do it for me.
Cats – Unknown.
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 – My rescuers say I'm doing pretty well on leash! (video) I sometimes pull a bit (I'm a husky, hehe), but I respond well to a bit of leash pressure. I hope to find an adopter who will continue to work with me on my leash skills.
House trained – I am house-trained at the shelter/foster home and do my business outside. Please expect an adjustment period when I go to my forever home though, I may have a few accidents while I'm learning about my new environment. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help remind me of my housetraining manners in my new home!
Cate training: Yup!
Basic socialization: Yes – good with people and dogs (with appropriate introductions on neutral territory)
No significant behavioral issues
Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.
HEALTH NOTES:
I am 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.
Diet:
I benefit from a diet with good hydration and with fresh or moist food (this supports good urinary health in adult dogs!)
I occasionally take supplements for urinary support.
I eat chicken and vegetable soup (for hydration) mixed with kibble. I'm a fancy boi!
I will have dental cleaning, if necessary, before flying to Canada.
NOTE: It is not uncommon for rescue dogs to require dental work 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 $728.00 CAD ($650.00 + 5% GST and 7% PST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.
