Rescue Story
Dongree was rescued from a municipal shelter in Korea and is now getting the chance to show everyone what a lovely girl she is in a home environment.
With People
Dongree is a people-loving girl who is friendly and affectionate. She enjoys attention, loves showing affection, and always seems to have a smile on her face. She is comfortable being picked up and has also done well around children under 13.
Her foster says that after arriving at the foster home, Dongree was comfortable going for walks right away and approached people without hesitation. She has been gentle in the home with no growling or barking.
At Home & Home Alone
Dongree is surprisingly calm and easygoing indoors. With enough walks and outdoor activity, she is happy to spend her time at home relaxing and sleeping.
When left home alone, she is comfortable settling in her kennel. Her foster is rarely away for long periods, but Dongree has been left alone for up to about 4 hours and has done well. She has shown no separation anxiety, excessive barking, or destructive behavior toward household belongings.
She may occasionally decide that a pee pad is a great thing to shred, though. Her updated foster assessment also describes her as gentle, quiet, and comfortable in a kennel.
Potty
Dongree prefers to potty outdoors. During her first week in foster care, she occasionally urinated on pee pads, but once she settled into a regular walking routine, she mostly stopped using them. If she really needs to go, however, she may still use a pee pad indoors.
With Other Dogs
Dongree can do well with other dogs when they approach her calmly and respectfully. She can be uncomfortable around larger dogs and dogs with very high energy. If another dog challenges or provokes her, she may stand her ground rather than simply backing away, so thoughtful introductions are important.
With Cats
Dongree’s reactions to cats have varied. During one brief indoor cat test, she was calm and mostly uninterested. In another setting, she showed more interest and wanted to approach the cat, and outdoors she may try to chase. Because of this, we would not consider her fully cat-tested or reliably cat-friendly, and any home with a cat would need careful management and very slow introductions.
Walks & Energy
Dongree has a moderate energy level. She enjoys being outdoors but settles nicely after getting enough activity. At the beginning of a walk she can pull quite strongly, and once she settles in she tends to focus on sniffing, so her walks can involve plenty of stopping and exploring.
Dongree is still nervous about getting into the car and may need to be picked up and helped inside.
Dongree is affectionate and fun outside, but gentle, quiet and relaxed at home. She would love a family who will give her regular walks, a comfortable routine, and plenty of love.
