Story
**About Vale:**
Vale is an international rescue all the way from South Korean. While "international adoption" might sound like a major undertaking, we have years of experience streamlining this process to make it as smooth as possible. We’ll be right by your side to explain every step!
The Journey Home
Once your application is approved, the final step of Vale’s journey begins. Adopters are responsible for picking him up directly from a major international airport. Common arrival hubs include:
West Coast: SFO, SEA, LAX.
East Coast & Central: JFK, IAH
Personality
Vale is active, full of energy, loves to play, and is super affectionate! He easily approaches new people and warms up right away. Since he can be a little cautious at first, he might bark when meeting a new dog for the very first time, but he settles down quickly and gets along great with them.
Experience with children
He hasn’t spent much time around children, but he seems like he would do totally fine with them.
Experience with cats
He hasn’t shown much interest in cats so far. Typically, Jindo dogs, when raised with cats from a young age, grow up with no aggression toward them.
Behavior in cars
Since he is still a baby, he travels in a crate. He has been riding in cars since he was 2 months old, so he is very used to it!
Potty training
He does both indoor and outdoor potty. In the morning, he goes in the backyard, and during evening walks, he does his business outside as well. Indoors, he uses potty pads with a 100% success rate! He saves almost all of his poop for outdoors, and as typical for Jindos, once they pass around 6 months old, they usually transition to outdoor-only potty.
Behavior when left alone
He has never been left completely by himself, and since he is still a young puppy, he might whine a little at first.
Resource guarding
He waits politely for his turn to get treats. He loves treats very much! After finishing his own, he keeps his eyes on his siblings’ treats, but he never growls or guards his own food. He’s not picky with his food at all and eats very well. (Currently, we feed him a mix of various kibbles.) He has no known allergies.
Leash and walk experience
He just recently started leash walking, but he is learning very smoothly! We are also practicing recall off-leash (in safe areas). Even when he’s running around happily, he comes right away when called and heads right back into the house nicely.
