Story

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to LAX💟 Meet Mina💞 💙 Adogs Center Account: @_adogs_everyday 1.) Health Condition * Spayed. * Microchipped and heartworm negative. * Has some hyperpigmentation on her skin, possibly due to irritation caused by allergies, but she has no health issues! 2.)Rescue Story * Mina was brought to the Gimje City Shelter and was very scared of people for unknown reasons. Due to this, she was at risk of being put on the euthanasia list, which led us to urgently rescue her. 3.) Basic Information * With People: Tends to be wary of strangers, especially when someone unfamiliar enters her personal space, like her kennel or the playground area. However, when treats are involved, she becomes more active and circles around with interest. Once on a leash, she becomes a bit more reserved but still allows physical contact. With familiar people, she’s quiet and gentle — she doesn’t avoid them or show any signs of aggression. Doesn't refuse full-body touch, though she’s not the type to particularly enjoy it either. Is a cautious little friend who shows affection in subtle ways, like gently touching noses when greeting or receiving treats. * With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs. Has a lot of curiosity towards new dogs and greets them with sniffs. Doesn’t fight and gets along well with familiar dogs, while she doesn’t pay particular attention to other dogs. * Separation Anxiety: Not confirmed since she’s living in a communal environment at our center. Sleeps in a kennel and relaxes even when alone at our center. May need training from scratch if she lives in a family home. * Potty Training: Goes outdoor potty while residing at our center. Prefers potty outside but makes occasional mistakes in her kennel while trying to hold in it. * Hygiene: Stays still while enjoying human touch. Accepts baths and brushing nicely. Is patient enough to have her nail trimmed once her paws are firmly held. * Walks: Isn’t used to walks and finds them awkward. Recently through training, she walks well in areas she’s comfortable with but pulls on the leash in areas where she’s uncomfortable. Follows along well if she walks with another helper dog. Doesn’t chase other animals on walks. * Barks when she’s wary of strangers and she wants something, especially when she gets impatient and wants it faster! * Prefers treats over toys. * Is scared of uncomfortable places, people and collars.
