Here's what the humans have to say about me:
❗Current location: hopping around among the temporary foster homes in South Korea❗
NewJeans was rescued from a high-kill shelter in South Korea in July 2024. She was found on the street and appeared to have undergone a devocalization surgery. Additionally, she was missing a nail on her front left paw. Upon joining our rescue team, it was discovered that she had a hernia, which required urgent surgery. This brave girl came through the operation wonderfully and healed incredibly well. She is now thriving in a loving foster home with two other dog friends!
• Personality: Resilient, Affectionate, Friendly
Despite the hardships she faced before joining our team, NewJeans remains full of love and affection! She adores people, regardless of gender (her favorite human is her foster dad!), and enjoys following her foster family around every day, being a velcro dog on their laps, and playfully stealing toys from her foster sister. Her energy level is moderate, and she is younger at heart than her age suggests!
• Affinity with
- Dogs: Very good
- Cats: Not tested
- Adults/Kids: Super friendly with adults including men / Not tested for kids
• Walking Manners: Generally good on leash
• Housetrained: Fully housebroken, going potty both outdoors and indoors (pee-pads)
• Bathing/Brushing: Tolerates both well
• Separation Anxiety: None
• Barks/Howls: She does bark often, but as stated above, she seems to have gone through devocalization surgery, resulting in zero voice from her barks.
• Car Sickness: None
• Appetite/Food Allergies: No food allergies
• Shedding level (1~10): 1-2
• Likes/Dislikes: She loves squeaky toys, walks, and snuggles!
• Note: One of her left front toes is missing.
⚠️During her medical screening, we discovered a few health issues: a mild heart condition (stage A and B1), a kidney stone on the left side, a small benign tumor in her urinary tract, and some joint stiffness. HOWEVER, the vet has determined that these symptoms are related to her age and size, and she does not require any medication or surgery at this stage. She just needs regular monitoring, and it’s recommended to avoid feeding her calcium. Her blood test results were clear, and overall, she is in good health!
