Story
** Current Location: in a private facility in South Korea **
• Rescue Story
: A dog with its eyes completely missing, a dog whose body was entirely blackened, a dog with rotting genitals... We struggle to find the words to describe the horrors we witnessed. Like hamsters on a wheel, the dogs cried out for help. There were every kind of dog here, some that were once fashionable and others currently in demand. The once trendy dogs were dying in the corner, while those now popular were crying out for salvation with every part of their body. This place had been illegally breeding and abusing animals for 25 years. From this hell, the rescue team saved Mina.
• Personality: Loves people, lap dog, loves to lounge in comfy spots
She enjoys being close to people and will often walk over to sit on their laps for cuddles and relaxation.
• Affinity with
-Cats: Not tested
-Dogs: Mina gets along well with other dogs but has an independent personality, so she may become irritated with overly persistent or clingy dogs. Mina enjoys being pampered by people and tends to rely more on humans than on dog companions, so she would be happier in a home without other dogs.
-Adults/Kids: Mina loves everyone!
• Shedding: 1-2 (1-10 scale)
• Walking Manners: She has not yet had a proper walk. Once her adoption is confirmed, the rescue team will provide her with as much walking training as possible, but the adopter will need to continue practicing walking with her.
• Housetrained: She is currently using indoor pads with an 80% accuracy rate. Once her adoption is confirmed, the team will continue pad training, though the adopter will need to continue training with her as well.
• Separation Anxiety: Not that we are aware of, but she really loves people and might become dependent on her family.
• Likes & Dislikes: Likes treats, people, petting, and napping in a comfortable place! / Not a fan of other dogs being overly clingy.
• Health: Mina has undergone surgery on both patellas. She has sensitive skin that tends to become dry and flaky, so she needs extra care for moisturizing. Mina has very few teeth, so she struggles to eat hard food or treats. She has an ulcer in her left eye and is currently undergoing medication (will relay treatment info to the adopting family!). Regular monitoring and treatment will be required in the future. Also, given that the dog was rescued from a puppy mill, we believed she was likely pregnant in the past.
[Ophthalmologist Notes]
- Left Eye: Dry eye with low tear production, swelling, and a cloudy cornea due to past injury (currently no active ulcer, but there is swelling and vascular changes).
- Right Eye: Similar to the left, with an ulcer from a past injury, and pain. Tear production is higher but abnormal, likely due to the pain.
- Both eyes have swollen eyelids. Mina is being treated with antibiotics and steroids, with weekly rechecks. If there’s no improvement, immunosuppressive drops may be needed.
- May need constant monitoring for: Tear production (wet or dry around eyes), Redness or irritation, Frequent blinking.
