MEET NOA — A GENTLE SOUL LOOKING FOR HIS FOREVER HOME
Name: Noa
Age: 5 years old
Gender: Male (Neutered)
Breed: Jindo Mix
Color: Ivory
Weight: 22 kg (48.5 lbs)
Height: 45 cm (17.7 in)
Rescue Story
Noa was rescued from a dog meat farm in November 2025 and spent about a year at a private boarding facility afterward.
When he was first rescued, Noa was very shy and cautious around people. With time, patience, and positive experiences, he has come a long way. He now has people he trusts and loves, and much of his initial fear of humans has faded.
Personality & People
Noa may need a little time to feel completely comfortable with someone new, but once he trusts you, he becomes a quiet and devoted companion who loves following his person around.
He isn’t the type to constantly demand attention. Instead, he’ll quietly lie beside you, lean against you, and enjoy simply being close. He loves being petted, and if you stop, he may gently nudge his head toward you to ask for more.
Noa can be reserved with strangers at first, but treats are a great way to win him over. He will take treats from new people and usually allows gentle handling fairly quickly. It may take about 2–3 days for him to fully warm up, but once he does, don’t be surprised to find him quietly following you from room to room.
He generally seems more comfortable with women and can be fearful of men, so a patient and gentle approach is important. He has not had experience with children under 13.
Once comfortable, Noa can be picked up with support under his belly, and when he feels completely safe, he’ll even roll over and show you his belly.
Dogs — Excellent Social Skills
Noa has wonderful manners with other dogs.
He greets new dogs politely and, when he finds a friend he clicks with, will offer a play bow and happily run and play. He is also very good at reading other dogs’ signals.
If another dog is rude or tries to mount him, Noa prefers to move away rather than escalate the situation. Even when faced with a dog that is confrontational or aggressive, he generally chooses to avoid conflict instead of fighting back.
He is friendly toward dogs of all sizes. While he will politely greet unfamiliar dogs, he tends to save his playful side for dogs he already knows and feels comfortable with.
Cats — Cat-Friendly!
Noa previously lived with a cat for about 10 days and was an absolute gentleman from the very beginning.
He approached the cat slowly and respectfully, and if the cat hissed, Noa would simply take a step back and give them space. The cat became comfortable enough to relax and lie down right beside him.
Even when the cat was eating, Noa showed no interest in stealing the food.
He also shows very little prey drive outdoors. When he sees birds on walks, he usually just watches them rather than pulling toward or chasing them.
Energy Level
Noa has a moderate energy level. He enjoys being outdoors and going on adventures, but after his activity, he’s happy to settle down and relax quietly at home.
Walking
Noa walks beautifully on leash without pulling and follows his handler’s lead well.
Busy parks or crowded public spaces can make him a little unsure, but rather than trying to run away, he tends to stay very close to his person and continues walking alongside them.
At Home & Other Behaviours
• No food guarding with people or other dogs
• Rarely barks
• Calm and quiet in a kennel
• Mostly outdoor potty trained
• Can get in and out of a familiar car on his own
• May need a few practice attempts with an unfamiliar vehicle
• Gentle and non-confrontational by nature
Noa’s Ideal Home
Noa would thrive with someone who understands that trust doesn’t always happen instantly — and that some of the most special bonds are worth waiting a few days for.
Give him a little patience and space in the beginning, and you’ll discover a sweet, gentle boy who doesn’t need to be the centre of attention. He simply wants to feel safe, stay close to his person, and quietly share life by their side.
For someone looking for a calm, loyal companion who is exceptionally well-mannered with other animals, Noa may be the one.
