Meet Sayo💗
💙 Update Account: @_adogs_everyday

1⃣ Health Status
• Neutered: Yes
• Others: Microchipped, heartworm positive

2⃣ Rescue Story
Sayo spent quite a long time at the Gimje City Shelter. As new dogs arrived daily and space grew scarce, some long-term residents faced euthanasia. ADogs stepped in to urgently rescue Sayo before he was at risk.

3⃣ Personality & Behavior
• With People: Sayo is a bit shy. He may initially retreat from unfamiliar people, but once he’s comfortable, he’ll come over, lick you, and ask for pets—he’s a sweet and affectionate boy! He just needs time to warm up.
• With Dogs: He gets along well with other shelter dogs. Even when other, more sensitive dogs snap at him, he calmly walks away without reacting. He’s especially close to his best friend #ADogsTayo and finds comfort in being with him.
• Separation Anxiety: If he hears or sees people nearby but can’t reach them, he tends to cry. He will need training in a home environment to build confidence and independence.
• Potty Training: Currently only uses outdoor potty, as he lives in a shelter setting.
• Walks: He’s a little hesitant when walking alone but enjoys walks when accompanied by his best dog friend. He doesn’t pull on the leash but may stop or resist a bit at times.

4⃣ Special Notes
• He loves treats, which makes it easier to build trust with new people.
• He may cry when he sees people nearby or wants a door opened—this is something that can be improved with training.
