Story
**He is currently in Seattle**
Mukgoo is about 5 years old. He was found near an army base in Korea and immigrated to America around the age of 1 on President’s Day of 2020. He is an incredibly smart and lovable dog. He is kind and loves people (loves dogs and people). He will eat almost anything (except veggies). He can be a jumper when he gets very excited. He prefers households with another dog and a big yard to run around in but it’s not a non-negotiable. He has always adjusted well to whatever the circumstance. Overall, he’s a good dog and he’s got a lot of love to give.
I’m having to give him up due to being unable to raise him in my current life stage. In no way, this is due to any bad behaviors or anything. He’s a really kind-hearted and sweet dog.
Likes
- He loves playing fetch (quickest way to his heart), rolling in the grass, puppycinos, ice cream, snow, people, dogs
- Historically has liked lamb, fish skin, salmon, bully sticks, dental sticks, sweet potato, etc. In general, he loves to eat~
- Very social and prefers to greet other dogs and people, including dog parks, doggy day cares
Dislikes
- He dislikes bath but who does
- He doesn’t like being alone but can manage a few hours if needed
- No longer is a fan of veggies
- Fireworks and big noises
Things to Watch out for
- Throwing up: If you let him freely eat grass, he’ll throw up. When he feels stressed, he can react by throwing up.
- He can be independent when he is fixated on things. Just be patient with him and he will come back to focus on you. He is a people pleaser.
- He rarely barks. He may bark when other dogs bark but even that is rare. He is more of a whiner. If he needs to let you know something, he will whine.
- Not a counter surfer but can be if you let him
Commands
He knows his basic commands (sit, down, hand, etc.) and is open to learning new ones as well.
Potty
He is used to peeing and pooing outside. Once you create a regular spot and time for him, it’s clockwork. Otherwise, just be aware when he whines that it may be time to go.
- At a high level, he knows “go potty” and “go poo” as a sign to go to the bathroom
- He will rarely go pee or poo inside the home. Once in a million tries, a thing like that can happen during the night but he’s really sorry when he does.
Leash
He has never been fully off-leash, only in areas that condone it (home, backyard, dog park, etc.). He is not one to go off-leash and run away. He’ll run around and try to have you play with him. Keep him on a short leash if you need to focus on walking as he can veer away due to his interest in sniffing. Once on a short leash, he’ll understand and walk along. However, give him time to sniff as he is very curious with smells.
Sleep
He can sleep together or on his own if you’re in a different room or floor. He is also loves to cuddle up as well. When there’s fireworks, it’s recommended you sleep where he sees you because he’s afraid of the loud sounds.
Food
He is on one meal a day. If you give him two meals a day, he may not eat the first meal. Snacks though he loves. He knows how to sit and wait for food. He is currently on Costco’s salmon and sweet potato meal.
