Story
**Important Adoption Information
All of our dogs are currently living in private shelters or foster homes in South Korea.
Once adoption is approved, dogs travel to the United States through legal and fully compliant international transport procedures.
Video calls are available, and adopters can communicate in real time with our rescue team through official organizational channels and apps throughout the process.
**Name: Rian
Estimated Age: Approximately 6 years old (age is estimated)
Gender / Spay Status: Female / Spayed
Weight: 3 kg (about 6.6 lbs)
Breed: Poodle
**Background & Health Notes
Rian was rescued from an illegal puppy mill on Ganghwa Island. Based on her condition and background, it is highly likely that she was used as a breeding dog and may have given birth multiple times.
At the time of rescue, Rian did not appear to be in good health. However, with consistent care and attention from the rescue team, her overall condition has significantly improved, and she is now stable and well cared for.
Her age is an estimate, as dogs from illegal breeding facilities rarely come with accurate records. The environment she lived in was extremely poor, and she has significant dental damage. This is a common characteristic seen in dogs rescued from puppy mills, often caused by repetitive stress behaviors such as biting and chewing metal cage bars over long periods of confinement.
**Personality & Temperament
Rian is a very gentle, calm, and affectionate dog who prefers staying close to her caregiver. She shows little interest in other animals and enjoys quiet companionship with people. She tolerates handling extremely well and allows touch anywhere on her body, making her safe and gentle even around children.
Her energy level is low. Indoors, she is content to sit quietly and be petted, with no destructive behaviors. While she does enjoy walks, she does not require high levels of activity.
She shows mild separation anxiety, but it is not severe and can be managed with routine and reassurance.
**With Other Dogs:
Generally neutral and uninterested.
**With Cats:
Generally neutral and uninterested.
**With Children:
Not aggressive at all. Very gentle and tolerant.
**Potty Training
Potty training is still needed.
Even when confined with fencing and pee pads, her current success rate is about 50%. Continued guidance and consistency will be important in her new home.
**Important Note for Potential Adopters
If you are looking for a young, conventionally “perfect,” or purely appearance-focused poodle, Rian may not be the right match.
Rian is a survivor of an illegal breeding operation. She is seeking a home with a strong understanding of rescue dogs and the lasting effects of neglectful environments. We hope she will be adopted by a family willing to offer patience, empathy, and unconditional love, and who values her life story as much as her companionship.
