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 new people, but does not dislike them or bark at them. Is not yet fully comfortable with being touched, so he may need to be gently guided into a corner before petting. Once being petted, however, he stays calm and accepts it well. Is timid and easily frightened, so he needs time to become comfortable with new people, but lives comfortably with people he is familiar with. Is gradually opening up and now responds when called, comes closer, and sometimes briefly sniffs the person. Through consistent desensitization training with physical contact, he has also become less fearful and resistant when being picked up.
* With Dogs: Got along well with no issues with the other dogs at our center. Gets a bit frightened during walks, so he completely ignores other dogs when passing by.
* With Cats: Unknown because he hasn’t met them yet.
* Separation anxiety: Stays calm when left alone and sometimes sleeps comfortably by himself.
* Potty training: Prefers to use the potty pads indoors. Has occasional accidents when urinating. When a waterproof potty tray was placed for him, he also started having accidents on the floor, so his living space has been temporarily reduced and his potty training is being restarted. Since reducing his space, he has been using the pee pad well. Is currently taking medication for coprophagia (stool eating). Although the coprophagia has recently stopped, it might be due to the medication, so caution is still needed.
* Hygiene: Calmly tolerates both bathing and brushing. Because he is very timid and cautious, it is best to handle his grooming at home whenever possible. Has recently become more comfortable with being touched by his foster parents, and they are currently practicing nail trimming at his foster home.
* Walks: Because he is easily frightened, he is gradually being introduced to walking equipment. With consistent training, he has become accustomed to wearing a collar, but is still afraid of the leash and requires continued training. Is currently enjoying carried walks in arms; when placed on the ground, he lies down quietly without moving.
* Car sickness: Becomes tense when traveling by car and may have a bowel accident inside his kennel.
* Because he is very timid, he may react defensively with his mouth in certain situations such as having his bottom wiped, so caution is needed. As he becomes more familiar with the person, however, he tends to allow touch even in situations where he previously reacted defensively. If his hind paws are repeatedly handled, he may make a small biting motion and try to put the person's hand in his mouth. However, if the person pretends that it hurts, he shows that he dislikes it but will turn his face away and tolerate it. Is particularly sensitive about having his front paws touched.
* 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.
* Has a very gentle nature. Is quite fearful and timid, but has adapted well to home life. Once he adjusts to his environment, he quietly accepts being touched. Loves treats and being petted, but is frightened by loud noises or sudden movements. Especially dislikes having his front paws touched, and extra care is needed as he may become scared and has accidents with urination or defecation in enclosed spaces or at the vet.
