Meet Avon — A Gentle & Loving Jindo Mix Looking for Her Forever Home
Name: Avon
Age: 3 years
Sex: Spayed Female
Breed: Jindo Mix
Color: Ivory
Weight: 9 kg
Height: 43 cm (shoulder height)
Rescue Story
Avon was found living on a 1-meter chain at a junkyard, surviving on food scraps. The owner planned to sell the dogs to a meat market. Although Avon and several other dogs were surrendered, they were sent to a city shelter.
While at the shelter, Avon was pregnant and gave birth to four puppies. She was rescued again on December 28, 2023, and all of her puppies have since found loving homes. Avon has been living in a foster home since May 24, 2025, where she has been thriving for the past 7 months — now it’s her turn to find a forever family
Personality with People
Avon is extremely affectionate and people-oriented. She happily approaches both familiar people and strangers, leans in for pets, and allows handling with ease. She does very well with children under 13 and is comfortable being gently lifted. Even with people she has just met, Avon often rolls over to show her belly — a true sign of trust and sweetness
Socialization with Other Dogs
Avon is friendly with both familiar and unfamiliar dogs and often initiates polite greetings and play. She is especially comfortable with dogs of similar size or smaller and tends to avoid conflict, even if another dog behaves rudely.
On walks, she can become overly excited when meeting dog friends and may pull toward them — in these moments, calm but firm guidance from her handler works best. At dog parks, Avon is polite and social but often prefers to explore and sniff on her own. When she meets a well-matched friend, she plays happily and energetically.
Cats
When Avon sees cats during walks, she watches them with curiosity but follows her handler calmly when guided.
Energy Level
Avon has a moderate energy level. She enjoys outdoor activities and walks, but once back home, she relaxes easily. Indoors, she loves resting and receiving affection from her people, while outdoors she becomes curious and engaged with her surroundings
Walking & Leash Skills
She does pull on the leash at times but generally follows her handler well. Avon truly loves going for walks and especially enjoys sniffing and exploring her environment.
Other Behaviors & Habits
• No food guarding with people or other dogs
• Rarely barks — may make a soft, happy whine when excited to see people
• May bark back briefly if another dog barks during walks
• Gets in and out of the car on her own
• 100% outdoor potty trained
• Dislikes baths but tolerates them well with gentle handling
• Not a fan of tooth brushing — but loves chicken-flavored toothpaste
Avon is a gentle, affectionate, and resilient dog who has overcome so much. She would make a wonderful companion for a family looking for a loving, well-balanced dog with a soft heart
