Story
Phoebe would make an amazing dog for a pet-free, child-free home. She is great on a leash, house-trained, crate-trained. She does require inexpensive maintenance medication for incontinence due to birth defects that were surgically treated. She has not had any incidents of incontinence since being placed on her medication regimen, so it is well-managed. She is up to date on all vax as well as heartworm/flea/tick. Will provide new owner with all meds and a supply of food. She needs to be rehomed due to her penchant for picking fights with larger dogs in the household and losing those fights.

📌 Important Adoption Information All of our dogs are currently living in private shelters or foster homes in South Korea. Once an adoption is approved, dogs will travel to the United States through legal and approved international transport procedures. Video calls are available prior to adoption, and adopters can communicate with our rescue team in real time through our official organization and app-based messaging channels throughout the process. 🩷 Rescue Story Kobi was rescued from the euthanasia list at Jeongeup Shelter. After receiving proper medical care, including successful heartworm treatment, he moved into a foster home, where he has been adjusting well and showing his bright, cheerful personality. 🌿 Temperament & Behavior Kobi gets along extremely well with other dogs. He is playful, curious, and loves running and playing with his dog friends, making him a great fit for a multi-dog household. He is friendly with both adults and children and enjoys human company. His compatibility with cats has not been tested. 🚶 Walking & Daily Life Kobi is always excited and happy when going on walks and generally walks well on leash. His shedding level is moderate to slightly high due to his double coat, around 6 out of 10. He has no known food allergies. Recently, treats have been limited, and he eats better when a small amount of canned food is mixed with his kibble to help with healthy weight gain. 🏡 Habits & Training Kobi uses indoor pee pads consistently. He initially showed some marking behavior, but after a short period of wearing diapers, there have been no further marking accidents indoors. He is currently being encouraged to prioritize outdoor potty breaks, with walks twice daily. Morning walks are short (about 20 minutes) for quick potty breaks before work, while evening walks last over an hour at an open field where he completes all bathroom needs. He tolerates baths and brushing well. He may wiggle when his paws are handled, but ultimately cooperates. He has no separation anxiety. After his foster leaves for work, Kobi plays with his toys for a while, naps, and waits calmly. He does not bark and rides very well in the car with no motion sickness. 💛 Likes & Personality Kobi loves treats, toys, and especially playing with other dogs. Even when treats are involved, he is highly people-oriented and happily follows from one person to another to stay close. He has no strong dislikes and is generally an easygoing companion. He is currently living in a foster home. ✨ Personality (Three Words): Cute, playful, cheerful. 🐶 Recommended Traits (5): Playful · Affectionate · Enthusiastic · Social · Goofy 💙 Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: *International transportation *Customs and export documentation *Medical care (spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee.
