Story
Name: Milk current location : S.Korea Weight: 45 lb (21 kg) Age: 2 year Sex: Male Neutered: Yes Medical Issues: Very healthy, no history of illnesses Breed: Jindo Mix Color: Ivory / light cream Personality: Milk is very affectionate with his primary caregiver and loves cuddling, sitting on laps, and leaning against people. He is quite intelligent—smart enough to figure out how to open the front door. He is energetic, curious, and playful, but also a bit shy at first. However, he loves people and warms up quickly thanks to his affectionate nature. He truly enjoys walks and outdoor activities and still has some puppy-like mischief and playfulness. Interaction with Women: Tends to prefer women Interaction with Men: Since his main caregiver is female, he has limited experience with men, but he can become friendly if approached slowly Interaction with Children: Limited experience, except for meeting a friend’s young daughter when he was younger Interaction with Other Dogs: Generally does well with dogs of similar age, but may occasionally have conflicts with male dogs. Can be reactive to other dogs Interaction with Cats: No direct experience with cats; gets excited when seeing neighborhood stray cats House Training: Completed; still uses an indoor pee pad for urination Crate Training: Completed Energy Level: 5 / 10 Handling: Can be handled by his primary caregiver for nail trimming, tooth brushing, and bathing Barking Tendencies: Barks when strangers visit the yard or house; occasionally barks to demand something Escape Tendencies: Sometimes runs away playfully with shoes Appetite: Eats very well Current Diet: Dry kibble, cooked meals, and raw food Leash Walking: Walks well on leash with a collar Reactivity on Leash (to people or dogs): Barks initially when unfamiliar people visit the home; tends to be reactive toward other dogs Car Rides: Rides well, but pants due to nervousness Destructive Behavior: Likes to tear up tissues and cushions, so items should be kept out of reach Needs a Home with a Yard: Not required Needs a Home with Another Dog: Prefers to be the only dog Apartment Living: Suitable for apartment living Rescue Story: Milk was rescued as one of six puppies born to a stray mother dog who repeatedly gave birth in a rural village.
