RESCUE STORY – I was rescued from Nonsan shelter in Korea in November 2025. Before entering the shelter, I had lived in the countryside with an elderly grandfather. When my guardian became too old to care for me and moved into a nursing home, the family gave me up. I eventually ended up at Nonsan shelter, where I was unfortunately placed on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, I was rescued by Doremi Rescue in time! They made sure I got the vet care I needed (including heartworm treatment) and I have since recovered well. I am now in good overall health and ready for my forever home!
TEMPERAMENT – My rescuers describe me as a gentle, calm, and easy-going little guy with excellent everyday manners. I adjust pretty quickly, enjoy walks, and get along well with people and other dogs. I am the ideal companion for a peaceful home, ideally with humans who are around more often than not (or are willing to take me with them!). I have a naturally quiet demeanor and do not demand constant attention. I may be slightly shy at first, but with patience I will come out of my shell! Once I feel safe, I show a sweet, soft, and well-mannered nature.
I enjoy walks and calm routines. I'm not usually a big barker, however if left alone in a kennel, I have been known to get a bit barky. When left to free-roam in the home, I'm more calm, quiet, and don't get into mischief. I am friendly and gentle with women, men, and children. Around strangers, I may appear a little shy at first, but I warm up pretty quickly. I am especially well suited for a calm home that will appreciate my peaceful and independent personality.
ENERGY LEVEL – Low. I'm a chill guy who just wants to hangout and relax! I enjoy daily walks, but I'm content to snooze aftewards. Simply put, I prefer a pretty relaxed daily routine. I'm the ideal candidate for a quiet home who wants a chill companion!
GETS ALONG WITH:
Kids – I have met some children and was very gentle, but no videos of the interactions yet. If an applicant has children, we can request videos be taken!
NOTE: all dogs should be supervised around children and should have their space advocated for by adults.
Dogs – Yup. I am pretty neutral around other dogs. I generally get along well with the doggos at the shelter, although I prefer quiet observation and my own personal space over active play. I think I would be happiest living as a solo-doggo so I can enjoy all the peace and rest I so deserve!
Here is a video of me around some of my shelter mates - I don't mind their presence but I really love human attention more than doggy companionship!
Here is another video of me around other dogs
Cats – Unknown. I haven't met any kitties yet.
PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around cats/squirrels/rabbits etc., so my adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.
TRAINING:
Leash skills – I am not super experienced with walks, but my skills aren't too bad! I like to sniff and walk slowly. I don't pull much! I would love an adopter who can help be grow confidence on leash :) A well-fitted harness or collar and lots of positive reinforcement will help me learn!
Here is a video of me on leash!
House trained – Work in progress, although I am actually pretty good at going potty outdoors in Korea! Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home!
Crate trained - Work in progress. I do bark if confined to a kennel, so this is something my adopters may need to work with me on (or preferably, if leaving me alone, leave me in a secure area insgtead of in a crate).
Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.
HEALTH NOTES:
I tested positive for heartworm when rescued in November 2025. I received the full treatment protocal and have since tested negative for heartworm (yay!). I will remain on regular heartworm and tick prevention in Korea to keep me in good health.
I am neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records.
I will be tested for Heartworm etc. before flying to Canada.
I will have dental cleaning, if necessary, before flying to Canada.
NOTE: It is not uncommon for rescue dogs to require dental work after they are adopted. West Coast Paws does not cover the costs of dental work and/or vet visits. These costs are the financial responsibility of the adopter.
ADOPTION FEE:
My adoption fee is $728.00 CAD ($650.00 + GST & PST) including applicable taxes, which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.
