🐾 Meet Sunny 🐾 📍 Current Location: South Korea ❤️ Age: Approximately 3 years old ❤️ Gender: Male ❤️ Weight: 19 kg (42 lbs) ❤️ Breed: Jindo × Retriever Mix (estimated) ❤️ Health: Neutered and overall healthy 🐶 Personality & Behavior 💖 People-friendly – Gentle and kind. He is shy at first but friendly with people and has never shown aggression. He builds trust gradually when given time and patience. 💖 Kid-friendly – Calm, gentle children are fine. He may be startled by loud or energetic children but adjusts with time. 💖 Dog-friendly – Very social with other dogs and loves to run and play. He has never shown aggression toward other dogs. 💖 Cat-friendly – Shows little to no interest in cats. ✅ Toilet-trained: Prefers outdoor potty. In foster care, he uses pee pads for urination but prefers to poop outside. ✅ Leash manners: Walks politely without pulling and enjoys walks, but unfamiliar places and loud noises can make him nervous. ✅ Energy level: 4–5 out of 5. He enjoys playing with other dogs and settles down well after exercise. ✅ Handling: Loves gentle affection once he trusts you. He prefers slow introductions with new people but eventually enjoys being touched all over. ✅ Escape instinct: Yes. If frightened by loud noises or unfamiliar situations, he may try to run away. A secure leash and careful supervision are recommended. ✅ Prey drive: Low. He has shown little interest in cats during walks. ✅ Guarding tendency: None observed. ✅ Crate trained: Comfortable resting quietly in his kennel after exercise. ✅ Barking: May bark to seek attention or express his needs. ✅ Separation anxiety: None observed. 💔 Rescue Story Sunny was rescued from euthanasia by a rescue organization. After being placed in a foster home, he experienced training methods that were not suitable for his sensitive personality, causing him to shut down emotionally. He later entered a professional training center, where patient, positive guidance helped him regain his confidence. Sunny is a gentle, sensitive dog who needs a patient family willing to let him adjust at his own pace. Changes in environment can make him anxious at first, but once he feels safe, he blossoms into a bright,

Story
🐾 Meet Jenny 🐾 📍 Current location: South Korea ❤ Age: 3 years old ❤ Gender: Female (spayed) ❤ Weight: 16 kg ❤ Breed: Terrier mix ❤ Color: Brown ❤ Health: Healthy overall; had 6 teeth extracted in the past 🐶 Personality & Behavior 💖 Temperament – Calm, bright, and balanced 💖 Energy level – Medium; enjoys walks and outdoor time, but settles down nicely at home 💖 People-friendly – She may be a little cautious at first, but once given time and trust, she becomes affectionate with her person 💖 Women-friendly – Generally comfortable with women and warms up naturally with a little time 💖 Men-friendly – Can be slightly cautious at first, but adjusts well when approached gently and given time 💖 Children – A bit careful around children and may feel intimidated by very active kids; when meeting them outside, she usually just passes by without issue 💖 Dog-friendly – She does best with slow, thoughtful introductions. Rather than immediately interacting with unfamiliar dogs, she prefers getting to know them gradually through walks. If another dog is overly excited or rude, she may try not to back down, so dog parks or chaotic group settings are not ideal. She would do best socializing with a small number of dogs she gets to know slowly 💖 Cat-friendly – Not good; a cat-free home is recommended 💖 Only-dog home – Preferred. Jenny would do best as the only dog in the home ✅ Toilet-trained: Outdoor only ✅ Crate-trained: She is generally comfortable using a crate, but if left crated indoors for long periods without people around, she may become anxious ✅ Separation anxiety: No major destructive issues observed, but confinement for long periods when alone is not recommended ✅ Aggression: None noted ✅ Destructive behavior: None observed ✅ Handling: Basic handling is possible, though she may be a little sensitive about being touched at first. Grooming or care routines she dislikes, such as tooth brushing or blow drying, should be introduced slowly after a strong bond is built ✅ Barking: Not a frequent barker ✅ Escape tendency: She can feel nervous around unfamiliar buildings or areas with many buildings, but if given time, she gathers her courage and follows well ✅ Car rides: Rides in the car fairly comfortably 🍽 Eating Habits Jenny may have a reduced appetite in unfamiliar environments, but her appetite improves as she settles in. Because of her past tooth extractions, very hard treats are not recommended, and she tends to chew a bit slowly. She is currently eating a variety of foods, including kibble, freeze-dried food, fresh food, and wet food. 🚶‍♀️ Walks & Daily Life Walks: Jenny enjoys walks and has generally good leash manners. She is currently walked using an all-in-one leash setup. If an unfamiliar dog reacts to her, she may pause, but she is usually manageable with cues such as “sit” and treats. Home life: Although she has a nice energy level outdoors, she is calm and relaxed inside the home. She can live well in an apartment. Yard: A yard is not required, but having one would be a nice bonus. 💔 Background Story Jenny was rescued after falling into a waterway and was taken to the Changwon City Shelter, where she stayed for several months. She is a gentle, thoughtful dog who may need a little time in new situations, but she responds beautifully to patience and kindness. Jenny is looking for a home that will respect her pace, help her feel safe, and let her build trust naturally. If you are looking for a sweet, balanced, and quietly affectionate companion, Jenny may be the perfect match for you.
