Meet Gamdong – Your Sweet, Spirited Companion!
Hi there! I’m Gamdong, and my name means “moved” or “touched” in Korean. I hope my story touches your heart!
Breed: Jino/Welsh Corgi Mix
Age: 6 Months
Gender: Female
Weight: 16.5 lb Height: 35 cm
Highlight(s): Good with other dogs, affectionate, playful
I was born in a loving foster home after my mama dog was rescued from the euthanasia list. She was an amazing mom, making sure my five sisters and I always had enough milk and love to grow strong and happy. When I was 3 months old, I went to a foster home where my foster dad helped me explore the world and meet lots of new friends. Now, I’m living in a new foster home with a friendly small dog, a shy cat, and some kids—quite the little crew!
I’m naturally bright and high-spirited, and I love getting attention from people. I’m affectionate and enjoy being petted and lifted—my soft fur makes it hard for anyone to resist!
Here’s what I’m like:
- I love dogs of all sizes and am always excited to meet new ones. I’m pretty forward when introducing myself, which some dogs might find a bit much, but I mean well! Playtime is my favorite, especially if it involves a furry friend.
- When it comes to cats, I’m curious but respectful. I encountered some cats on the street before and didn’t bother them, just kept on my way. At my foster home, there’s a shy kitty who prefers to stay hidden, so I’m doing my best to give them space.
- I’m still a puppy, so I have a high energy level and love to zoom around sometimes. I also enjoy bird-watching (okay, bird-chasing—but I’ve never caught one, and I probably never will).
What makes me special:
- Friendly and affectionate with people—I love being part of the action!
- Crate-trained and calm during car rides (no carsickness for me!).
- I’m 80% housetrained. In new places, I might have an accident or two, but I’m learning quickly.
- I rarely bark and don’t have separation anxiety or an escape tendency.
A few things to keep in mind:
- On walks, I get very excited and distracted, so you’ll need to hold my leash tightly. I’m still learning to focus!
- I’m still in my puppy phase, so I’d love a family who can help me burn off my energy with playtime, walks, and maybe some fun training sessions.
- I’m a huge fan of chew toys—they’re a must in my future home!
If you’re looking for a sweet, spirited pup with lots of love to give, I could be your perfect match. Let’s meet and start making memories together—I promise to bring lots of joy to your life!
Love,
Gamdong

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.
