My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️
💟Available to fly to JFK💟

Meet Jiyong❤️
In October 2021, Jiyong arrived at Korean city shelter just as the weather was starting to get colder. He was significantly underweight, to the point where his ribs were visible, prompting an urgent rescue. Now, he has gained weight and is healthy enough that his ribs are no longer visible, thriving in the shelter environment.

* With People: Jiyong loves people! He has no reservations around strangers and approaches everyone with requests for affection, showing his playful and loving side 🥰
* With Dogs: He gets along well with other dogs. He doesn't initiate play but is friendly and easygoing even with dogs he has just met. He's a little afraid of larger dogs but gets along very well with small dogs.
* With Cats: He has not yet had interactions with cats, so his behavior around them is unknown.

* Separation Anxiety: Jiyong is comfortable being alone and manages well without people around.
* Potty Training: He is fully trained to go outside but occasionally marks outside his kennel. This behavior is improving with ongoing training.
* Hygiene: He is not a fan of grooming and nail trimming, requiring gentle coaxing during these activities.
* Walking: Jiyong is excellent on walks, enjoying them without pulling on the leash.
* Car Sickness: He travels well in cars without any issues of car sickness.
* He rarely barks when he hears noises outside.

** Health Status: complete heartworm treatment
