Story
Meet Hodol – A Social Butterfly Looking for His Forever Family!
Name: Hodol
Age: 1 year
Sex: Neutered Male
Breed: Jindo Mix
Color: Brindle
Weight: 18.7 kg (41 lbs)
Height: 55 cm (22 in)
Hodol was rescued from a municipal shelter just before he was scheduled for euthanasia. Now he’s ready to leave his past behind and find a family that will love him forever.
People
Hodol is an incredibly affectionate and people-oriented boy. He happily greets both familiar people and strangers, enjoys being petted, and loves leaning against people for affection. While he likes everyone, he seems to have a particular soft spot for men and often becomes especially excited to meet them.
He can be comfortably picked up by supporting him under his belly, and once he feels comfortable with someone, he’ll happily roll over to show his belly for rubs.
Dog Social Skills
If Hodol had a job, it would be making new friends!
He greets both familiar and unfamiliar dogs with confidence and enthusiasm, always inviting them to play. He’s the type of dog who assumes every dog is a potential best friend. He especially enjoys playing with dogs around his own size but is also friendly and gentle with smaller dogs.
Even when another dog behaves rudely, Hodol usually chooses to avoid conflict rather than escalate it. He also plays well with higher-energy dogs and adapts easily to different play styles.
Cats
Hodol has not been tested with cats, but a cat test can be arranged upon request.
Energy Level
Hodol has a moderate energy level. He enjoys outdoor adventures, walks, and playtime, and once his exercise needs are met, he settles down nicely and relaxes at home.
Walking & New Environments
When Hodol first began going on walks, unfamiliar or frightening things sometimes caused him to pull hard on the leash in an attempt to move away. After several training sessions, he has improved significantly.
However, he may show similar reactions when exploring completely new environments, so his adopter should continue using secure leash handling and allow him time to build confidence. Once he forms a bond with his person, he becomes much more relaxed and comfortable.
When Hodol first arrived at the rescue center, he had apparently never experienced walking on smooth indoor flooring and initially struggled to walk inside. It took him about 2–3 days to adjust, showing that while he adapts well, he simply needs a little time to feel secure in unfamiliar surroundings.
Other Notes
Hodol does not guard food from people or other dogs. However, he is very food-motivated. During mealtimes, if dogs are fed together, he may try to steal another dog’s food and may growl if challenged. Because of this, he is simply fed separately from other dogs.
He barks occasionally but is not an excessive barker. He is calm and relaxed in a kennel and is currently accustomed to doing his potty breaks outdoors.
Hodol is a happy, affectionate, and incredibly social young dog who loves both people and dogs. With a little patience while he adjusts to new environments, he’ll reward his family with endless love, loyalty, and plenty of joyful adventures.
Could Hodol be the missing piece of your family?
