Rescue Story
Seoju was rescued in October 2024 just before euthanasia. He entered the AKR Center in January 2025, where he spent about a year working on socialization training. He is a classic playful and mischievous “troublemaker” type who has made great progress with structure and guidance.
With People
Seoju loves people — truly loves them
He is very affectionate and will approach both familiar people and strangers, leaning in for pets and attention.
He does have a strong attachment tendency and can get jealous when it comes to “his person.” It took about a year to help him become more calm and balanced, and while he’s improved a lot, he’s still not fully settled. In a stable home environment, he is expected to continue improving.
He enjoys both men and women, and once he bonds, he can become very devoted — following his person around like a little bodyguard
Can be picked up comfortably
Shows his belly easily, even to new people
With Other Dogs
Seoju is generally social and will greet and try to play with both familiar and unfamiliar dogs.
Prefers dogs of similar size
Dislikes overly high-energy or pushy dogs
If he feels uncomfortable, he may react, but he’s not a strong fighter and often ends up backing down.
In group settings, he can show jealousy around people (trying to “claim” attention by positioning himself close or between legs), but when people are not involved, he plays well with other dogs.
With Cats
Not tested yet, but based on his temperament:
Likely indifferent or slightly cautious.
Cat testing can be arranged if needed.
Energy Level
Moderate energy
Enjoys outdoor activities
Rests calmly after exercise
He likes carrying blankets or toys to his space and enjoys chewing toys or relaxing beside people
Walks
Seoju can be sensitive to sudden stimuli.
He once panicked after being startled by a flapping banner, and may still react in that specific situation.
Walks well in calm, quiet areas like parks
nervous in busy roads or noisy environments
Other Notes
Food motivated — may guard food from other dogs → separate feeding recommended
In the center, he may bark at outside noises, but in foster care he reportedly did not bark
Car rides: nervous, needs to be carried in
Currently outdoor potty trained, but:
When stressed, drinks more water and may have occasional accidents at night
→ Temporary space management recommended during adjustment
Very calm and well-behaved in kennel
