My name is Jisu!

Jisu is a 6-year-old spayed Shiba Jindo mix girl with a lovely brown and white coat, weighing a petite 9kg. She was found wandering at the summit of Homyeong Lake, located 535m up Mt. Homyeongsan in Gapyeong, without a collar.

This sweet girl is incredibly affectionate and loves people—both familiar faces and friendly strangers alike! She’ll happily come over for pets, leaning in close and soaking up attention without hesitation. Jisu enjoys being touched and has no issues with handling, though she’s not too fond of being picked up with an arm under her belly just yet. She’ll squirm a bit when held, but not in a panic—she’s practicing daily and making progress. She hasn’t had experience with children under 13, so introductions to little ones would need to be slow and thoughtful.

Jisu is just as social with other dogs! She enjoys meeting both new and familiar pups, greeting everyone with a wag and an invitation to play. She especially gets along well with larger dogs and has a gentle, easygoing nature that helps her get along with just about anyone. Even if another dog gets pushy or sits on her by mistake (it happens!), she remains calm and unbothered. If tensions arise, Jisu simply walks away—no drama here! In playgroups, she mingles well and makes friends easily.

She’s also cat-approved—Jisu has been tested with cats and passed with flying colors!

With a moderate energy level, Jisu loves her outdoor adventures but settles down nicely afterward. She’s a pro at walking on leash and doesn’t pull, preferring to stop and sniff her surroundings rather than rush ahead. She’s not fazed by people, dogs, cars, or bicycles during walks and takes everything in stride.

Jisu isn’t possessive over food with people or other dogs and rarely barks. She rides calmly in a crate and typically does her business outside. Having likely lived on the streets before, she has a habit of scavenging food off the ground during walks, so her adopter should be mindful of that as she continues her training.

She recently had a dental exam and scaling, and the vet found she has enamel hypoplasia, which makes her teeth a bit yellow—but don’t worry, it doesn’t stop her from enjoying life! Jisu is the perfect mix of friendly, mellow, and loving, just waiting to find her forever home.
