1. Health Condition
* Neutered.
* Microchipped and heartworm negative.
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. He 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 around people he meets for the first time, but neither dislikes them nor barks at them. Being timid and fearful, he needs some time to get used to people, but lives comfortably once familiar. Through consistent desensitization training to physical contact, he does not get overly scared or resist when being picked up.
* With Dogs: Got along smoothly with the dogs living together at the center. When on walks, he is indifferent even when seeing other dogs due to fear.
* With Cats: Currently unknown as he has not encountered cats yet.
* Separation Anxiety: Sleeps comfortably or stays calm and well-behaved when left alone.
* Potty Training: Uses indoor potty training at his foster home. Had minor indoor accidents so potty training was conducted, and thanks to the training, he is now doing well indoors.
* Grooming & Hygiene: Tolerates baths and brushing calmly and well. Since he is fearful and very cautious, it is best to care for him at home as much as possible. Recently, his tolerance for being touched by his foster parent has improved, so he is currently practicing nail trimming at home.
* Walking: Because he is fearful, he is gradually getting used to walking gear step by step. Adapted to the collar through continuous training, but still fears the leash, so consistent training is required. Is currently being carried in arms during walks, and if put down on the ground, he flattens out and refuses to move. Remains indifferent even when seeing other dogs, likely out of fear.
* Car Sickness: Gets tense during car rides and may soil himself inside the crate.
* Nipping: While not quite biting, he can show defensive yapping during situations like grooming and hygiene care due to fear. However, tolerates familiar people touching sensitive areas like his front paws without any yapping.
* Barking: Whimpers when someone tries to hug him forcefully. Stays calm when being held during walks. Cries out to have his mess cleaned up if he has an accident. After moving to the foster home, he barked just once when startled by an alarm sound.
* Personality & Tendencies: Has an extremely gentle personality. Although fearful and timid, he is adapting well to home life. Once adjusted to the environment, he calmly accepts being petted. Loves treats and being petted, but is scared of loud noises and sudden movements. Particularly dislikes having his front paws touched. Caution is needed as he may have bathroom accidents out of fear in enclosed spaces or at the veterinary clinic.
