He previously lived in a resort environment in the Philippines, where he was exposed to many people and animals. 👩 With women: Excellent. Friendly, affectionate, and comfortable from the start. 👨 With men: Excellent. No hesitation and warms up immediately. 👶 With kids: Very good. Pika enjoys being petted and staying close to children. If children are running or screaming loudly, he calmly moves away on his own. With gentle kids, he may play quietly or simply observe nearby. 🐶 With dogs: Excellent. Polite greetings and good social manners. He plays when invited and relaxes calmly otherwise. Avoids conflict and moves away from dogs that bark aggressively. He lived with both large and small dogs at a resort in the Philippines. 🐱 With cats: Good. He may briefly sniff, but if there is no reaction, he quickly loses interest. Previously lived alongside stray cats. 🏠 Energy Level & Lifestyle Pika has a medium energy level. Indoors, he plays nicely with dog friends or entertains himself quietly with toys. When no one is engaging with him, he settles down easily and rests. 🚽 Habits & Training ✔ Fully house-trained ✔ Uses outdoor potty areas, indoor pee pads, and artificial grass ✔ No separation anxiety ✔ Quiet — no excessive barking 🖐 Handling & Touch Very affectionate and loves physical contact.

Pika is socially aware and immediately respects warning signals from other dogs. 🌈 Rescue Story Pika was rescued in the Philippines. His mother and littermates were killed in a traffic accident, and he appeared alone at a resort at just 2 months old. Because he was so young, other dogs prevented him from eating properly, leaving him severely malnourished with serious skin disease and unable to walk well.He was rescued at around 3 months of age in October 2025 and spent two months in a veterinary hospital receiving treatment and rehabilitation. After making a full recovery, he stayed at the resort while completing health checks and travel procedures.

Story

🐾 Meet Wiley 🐾 In seattle. 📌 Basic Profile 🐶 Name: Wiley 🐕 Breed: Jindo mix 🎂 Age: 3 years ⚖️ Weight: 23.6 kg (52 lb) 🚹 Gender: Male (neutered) 🎨 Color: Cream beige --- 💛 Personality & Charm Wiley is a smart and charming boy who truly enjoys learning. Training keeps him happy and mentally engaged, and he quickly picks up new skills. He already knows many commands such as sit, stay, come, lie down, quiet, and shake, and he’s always eager to learn more. Because of his past, Wiley needs time to build trust. Once he feels safe, he forms a deep bond and shows affection in his own gentle way. He is soft in play and has a goofy personality that often makes his people laugh. Wiley is happiest outdoors — especially if he has space to run or wildlife to observe. He could spend hours quietly watching squirrels and birds. He’s curious, intelligent, and content with a routine-filled life that includes outdoor time and peaceful surroundings. He is cautious with new people at first, but once he warms up, he becomes affectionate with both men and women. He takes treats gently and is very sensitive to human emotions. If someone close to him feels upset, he will wag his tail and try to comfort them. --- 🩺 Health & Care Wiley is in excellent health and fully up to date on vaccinations. Takes a monthly oral flea and tick preventative (he is uncomfortable with topical applications). Occasionally may vomit if his stomach is empty too long, so he receives a small snack after waking and before bedtime. Maintains dental health with special treats, toys, and food. Uses a scratch board for nail care when given the command “paw” — he has not needed traditional nail trimming in over two years. Naturally clean and keeps his coat tidy on his own. He has never required a bath. Still building comfort with brushing and ear cleaning, but has made great progress through cooperative care training. --- 🐾 Compatibility 👶 Children: Best suited for a home without young children. While he enjoys affection, if he does not want interaction at a certain moment, he may respond by snapping. 🐶 Other Dogs: Does well with calm, respectful dogs. Not comfortable with overly energetic or pushy dogs. Should be fed separately due to resource guarding with food and treats. 🐱 Cats: Not recommended due to high prey drive. --- 🎓 Training & Behavior ✔️ Potty Training: Fully trained — no accidents in over two years. ✔️ Crate Training: Not crate trained; prefers open areas. No separation anxiety and can stay home alone for hours calmly. ✔️ Car Rides: Calm and improving. Previously had motion sickness as a puppy; still takes preventive meclizine for long trips. ✔️ Leash Walking: Calm and non-reactive toward people and dogs. May become excited when spotting squirrels or cats, so a firm grip is helpful. ✔️ Barking: Rarely barks; usually only to alert. ✔️ Energy Level: Medium — enjoys two walks daily and plenty of nap time. ✔️ Destructive Behavior: None. --- 🏡 Ideal Home Wiley would thrive in a peaceful, patient household with people who understand and respect his independent nature. A secure yard or safe outdoor space where he can explore and watch wildlife would make him happiest. To the right family, Wiley will offer deep loyalty, intelligence, and quiet companionship. 🐾💛
