Story
Hi, I'm Nyx (AKA Velvet).
Breed: Jindo MixAge: 3 YearsGender: Female Weight: 20 lbs Height 18 inchesHighlight(s): Good with other dogs, friendly, affectionate
My life changed forever on October 16, 2024. I lived with my elderly owner and two other small dogs until one day, my owner suddenly collapsed and was taken to the hospital. In all the confusion, we escaped and wandered the streets. A kind woman brought us back home, but sadly, no one in the family wanted to care for us. We spent weeks confined to a room and forgotten. Soon after, my beloved owner passed away.
Thankfully, the kind woman never gave up on us. She found homes for my two doggy companions, but no one came for me. For over a year, I waited. Finally, she reached out to Best Buddy Jindo, and now I'm hoping my second chance is just around the corner.
I'm a gentle, affectionate girl with a soft heart and an incredibly silky black coat. I can seem a little shy when we first meet, but if you're kind and patient, I'll gladly accept pets. Once I trust you, I have a special way of showing my love—I look into your eyes and softly place my paw on your arm. My affection isn't loud or demanding. It's calm, mellow, and deeply comforting.
I get along wonderfully with other dogs. Sometimes I'm happy simply sharing space with my canine friends, and other times I enjoy a good wrestling session. I spent a month at a doggy daycare and absolutely loved playing with the other dogs there.
I haven't met an indoor cat yet. When I spot stray cats on walks, I get curious and may want to chase them, but it's fairly easy to redirect my attention.
I have a moderate-to-low energy level. I enjoy going for walks and exploring outdoors, but I'm equally happy to relax and unwind at home afterward. During walks, I like to walk a little ahead of my handler, though I don't pull much on the leash and follow guidance well. I'm also a confident and curious little adventurer who handles city life quite nicely.
I haven't shown any aggression, resource guarding, separation anxiety, or escape tendencies. I am fully housetrained, which makes settling into a new home much easier. I do bark when I hear noises outside, so a detached home would likely be the best fit for me. I'm also a little nervous about being placed into a crate, but once I'm inside, I settle down calmly.
I've experienced loss and uncertainty, but I've never stopped believing in people. All I want now is a family who will cherish my gentle nature and let me spend the rest of my days loving them quietly and wholeheartedly.
Could I be the calm, loyal companion you've been waiting for?
Love,Nyx

Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.
Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.
Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.
The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.
Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.
Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
