My story

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

Rafa is a 2-year-old female Jindo with a petite 13kg frame. She endured neglect and abuse in Korea, suffering from malnutrition and skin disease. Fortunately, she was rescued and has spent the past year receiving love and care, regaining her health. Despite her difficult past, Rafa remains a bright and affectionate dog with a heart full of love for people.

With her elegant and charming appearance, Rafa radiates positive energy with her lively and playful personality. She quickly warms up to new people and enjoys forming close bonds. If you extend your hand slowly, she will naturally lean in for affectionate cuddles. As trust grows, she becomes deeply devoted, forming an unbreakable bond with her owner.

Rafa loves people so much that she sometimes jumps up excitedly to give kisses. While adorable, this habit can lead to unintentional accidents. She is currently undergoing body-blocking training to correct her jumping behavior, and she is making steady progress. With patience, training, and understanding, her affectionate nature will strengthen the connection between her and her future family.

She is gentle and highly social, getting along well with other dogs and adapting easily to different environments. Being an active dog, she enjoys walks and cherishes time spent with people.

Currently staying at a training facility, Rafa rarely barks. However, she signals through sound when she needs to relieve herself or wants human company and she adapts quickly when she has a consistent schedule for outdoor potty breaks. Due to her deep attachment to people, she may experience separation anxiety if left alone for long periods. A home where family members are frequently present would be ideal for her.

Despite her small size, Rafa has impressive jumping ability and a curious nature. When playing in an open space, she may try to jump over fences out of curiosity rather than a desire to escape. While she always returns, for her safety, an apartment or condo environment would be more suitable than a house with a yard. Extra supervision is needed in dog parks to prevent her from leaping over fences.

She is fascinated by small movements, such as insects or birds, which highlights her lively and spirited personality.

Rafa treasures every moment with people, showering them with affection in return for their love. She is a dog who gives back even more love than she receives and is ready to become a lifelong companion.

She is waiting for a warm and loving family to call her own.
