1️⃣ Health Condition
* Spayed.
* Microchipped, and heartworm negative upon retest.
2️⃣ Rescue Story
* Nacho was living at a dog slaughterhouse in Gongdeok, Gimje. She had witnessed many of her friends being taken away in front of her eyes, and was rescued just a moment before being slaughtered.
3️⃣ Basic Information
* With People: Is still fearful of strangers, startles easily, and shys away when touched. However, with familiar people, she is will approach first to lick their hands or touch them with her nose for treats. Still startles and runs away if you touch her suddenly. If cornered, she will patiently allow handling but shows slight signs of nervousness.
* With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs. While she doesn’t actively show interest first, she becomes interested if the other dog approaches her with interest. If the other dog shows aggression, she lowers her body and avoids confrontation. Typically, she gets along well and runs playfully with her dog friends!
* With Cats: When encountering cats during walks, she simply observes quietly without reacting.
* Separation Anxiety: Is fine being alone and rests comfortably.
* Potty Training: Never potties indoors and always holds it in, so she must be given outdoor potty breaks. Tends to mark outside during walks.
* Hygiene: Stays calm during baths and brushing. However, she's terrified of the sound of the dryer and runs away even when she hears it.
* Walks: Is on the timid side and a double leash must be used after building enough trust. Pulls on the leash a bit, but follows well if you stop or guide her where you want to go. Enjoys running during walks. Has gotten scared after elderly women and bikes passed by.
* Car Sickness: Rides well in the car, even on long trips over an hour without signs of motion sickness.
* Biting: May occasionally get mouthy when startled, but doesn’t actually bite hard in aggression.
* Barking: Doesn't bark without a reason. However, may bark in surprise if a stranger tries to touch her unexpectedly, or when other dogs pass by her indoor kennel. Interestingly, doesn't bark at all when she’s out in the play yard.
* Likes: Likes playing with balls.
* Dislikes: Is scared of the sound of the blow dryer. During walks, she has shown fear of bicycles and elderly women, even trembling in fear.
* Personality: Is a timid "scaredy-cat", but is also very curious and truly likes people. Is independent enough to enjoy resting peacefully in her kennel by herself, but also runs playfully with her dog friends and likes to play with balls. If you can be patient and wait for her to open her heart, she will eventually approach you on her own.
