Meet Taepyeong – Your Carefree Companion!
Annyeong (hello)! My name is Taepyeong, which means “care-free” in Korean, and I’d love to tell you a little about myself!
Breed: Chihuahua mix
Age: 6 Months
Gender: Female
Weight: 9.5 lb Height: 30Cm
Highlight(s): Good with other dogs, affectionate, playful
I was born in a warm, safe foster home after my mama dog was rescued from the euthanasia list. She was such a great mom to me and my five sisters, making sure we always had plenty of milk and love. When I turned 3 months old, I went to another foster home where I got to hang out with some awesome dogs for three months. It was so fun, and I made lots of furry friends!
At first glance, you might think I’m a little shy—I do keep a serious expression on my face—but don’t let that fool you! Once you get to know me, you’ll discover my sweet, affectionate side. I love humans, and I’m totally okay with being petted and even lifted.
Here’s what makes me special:
- I love other dogs! Whether it’s playing chase or a good ol’ play fight, I thrive on doggy playtime, especially at doggy cafes.
- I’m curious about cats but not overly excited. Since I’m a tiny girl (smaller than most cats!), I think I’d get along well with them.
- I have a moderate energy level, perfect for someone looking for a balanced pup—playful but not too wild.
- No resource guarding here! I’m happy to share with people and other dogs.
Sometimes, new places or objects (like drainage covers) can make me nervous. If I get scared, I might lie down flat and refuse to move. But with your gentle support—maybe a little lift past the scary part—I’ll perk up and be back to my happy, bouncy self in no time.
A few other fun facts about me:
- I’m crate-trained and working on my housetraining (currently about 50% pee-pads/50% outdoor potty).
- I love chew toys and tug-of-war!
- I’m learning to like car rides, but I still get a little carsick sometimes—don’t worry, I’m improving.
- I only bark when I need something, like a bathroom break or when I hear sudden noises (doorbells or other dogs barking).
I don’t have separation anxiety, and I’m not an escape artist, so I’d make a great addition to your home.
If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and brave little pup who just needs a bit of patience in new situations, I might be the perfect match for you. Let’s meet and start our journey together—maybe we can even visit a doggy café for some fun!
Love,
Taepyeong

Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.
Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.
Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.
The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.
Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.
Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
