Rescue Story
Janggo was rescued from a wildfire-affected area in 2025. She had been taken by a household to be used as a wild boar hunting dog, but because of her gentle nature, she was deemed unsuitable. Instead, she was tied up and left to guard a field.
Personality with People
Janggo is naturally affectionate and enjoys being around people, but due to her past of being tethered and isolated, she can be cautious and a little timid with strangers at first.
If someone nearby has treats, she will approach on her own—sometimes pawing gently to ask for them . When approached for petting, she may briefly step back, but once she feels safe, she lowers her body and comes closer, even lying down to be petted.
In open spaces, she may initially avoid being caught and run before settling. However, once she bonds, she becomes very affectionate—approaching first, rolling onto her back, and asking for belly rubs
It took her about three weeks after rescue to fully trust her caregivers at the center. She can be picked up by supporting under her belly, and once comfortable, she happily shows her belly.
She also knows basic commands such as sit, down, and wait.
With Other Dogs
Janggo is very social and friendly with other dogs. She approaches both familiar and unfamiliar dogs to greet and play, regardless of their size. Even if another dog provokes her, she tends to avoid conflict and shows a gentle temperament.
With Cats
She may try to chase moving cats during walks, but shows little interest in cats that are stationary.
Energy Level
She has a moderate energy level. After sufficient outdoor activity, she settles down calmly to rest. When she has compatible playmates, she enjoys running and playing, then resting in between . If there are no playmates, she is content to relax on her own.
Leash & Walks
Janggo is both curious and a little cautious. On calm, familiar routes—or when following interesting scents—she may pull slightly in the direction she wants to go.
In busier urban environments, she tends to stay close to her handler. She often walks with her ears slightly back, showing she may feel a bit uneasy in crowded areas. Sudden loud noises can startle her at times.
Other Behaviours
• No food guarding toward people or other dogs
• May bark to ask to come out when other dogs are being let out
• May show demand barking before meals
• Tends to bark along if other dogs bark at unfamiliar people
• Settles in a kennel after a brief period of whining
• Experiences motion sickness in the car
• Primarily does outdoor potty
• Tolerates baths well and is calm during nail trimming
• Overall gentle and easy-going temperament
Janggo is a sweet and gentle girl who just needs a little time to build confidence. Once she feels safe, her affectionate and loving personality truly shines
