1. Health Condition
* Neutered.
* Microchipped and heartworm negative.
* Due to consistent treatment, Ruki has completely recovered from his skin disease and the darkened skin has become pink again.
2. Rescue Story
* Ruki, a puppy of #AdogsMiso was rescued from a hoarder’s home in Gimje, and was transferred to the Gimje City Shelter. Ruki already had a skin disease and wasn’t able to get proper treatment at the shelter, so Adogs rescued him before it worsened.
3. Basic Information
* With People: Is shy with new people but doesn’t bark or show signs that he dislikes them. Isn’t comfortable with human touch yet, so he must be cornered before he can be petted. However, he accepts it nicely once you actually touch him. Still needs more time to become comfortable since he’s timid. Lives and moves around comfortably around familiar people. Lately, has been opening up a bit; when called, he comes over, takes a quick sniff, and then walks away.
* With Dogs: Got along well with no issues with the other dogs at our center.
* With Cats: Unknown because he hasn’t met them yet.
* Separation Anxiety: Stays calm when he’s left alone at his foster home.
* Potty Training: Currently potty trained indoors at the foster home. Since he has coprophagia (eating poop), medication is being administered. A training method that gradually narrows down the potty area works best
* Grooming & Hygiene: Accepts baths and brushing very calmly. However, during a vet visit for a nail trim, Rookie got scared and had a potty accident. The vet recommended managing nail care at home as much as possible, as Rookie is cautious and easily frightened.
* Leash Walking: Since outdoor walks haven't been experienced yet, it's hard to say for sure. After wearing a harness/leash for about 3 hours once, Rookie seemed to develop a fear of leashes—reluctant to move and shedding tears whenever a leash is put on. The foster home is currently working on helping Rookie get comfortable with the leash.
* Car Sickness: Has a bit of motion sickness so care is needed.
* Biting: Since he is very fearful, he may nip defensively depending on the situation. Caution is required. May nip when having his bottom wiped. With familiar people, he doesn’t tend to bite, even in defense. When having his hind feet touched, he gets mouthy, but endures it despite not liking it, if you act hurt.
* Biting: Might whimper if you try to hug him against his will. Also tends to "cry" or whine to let you know when he has had a potty accident and need it cleaned up. Has only barked once after moving to his foster home when he became startled from the sound of the alarm clock.
* Likes: Likes treats but the vet suggested to cut back on them. So he’s only being fed a small amount. Likes to be touched on face.
* Dislikes: Is scared of loud noises and becomes afraid if you move your hands downwards suddenly. Whines and expresses discomfort if you try to hold him forcibly. May have potty accidents if you set him down on the floor in areas with many people or at the vet. If you hold him with his bottom well supported, he feels safer. Is uncomfortable with having his front paws touched.
* Personality: Is extremely gentle and sweet natured. Tends to be fearful and timid, but has adapted well to a home environment at his foster home. Is accepting of touch once he becomes familiar with the environment.
