Story
Hi! My name is MINDY (although in Korea my name is “Minduelle” which is a word for dandelion, a small but resilient flower that blooms again wherever it lands). Here is some info about me!
PHYSICAL INFO:
Breed: Korean mixed breed (Havanese/LhasaApso/Sapsali-type mix)
Age: approx. 1 year
Gender: Female
Weight: 22 lbs (10 kg)
Length: 64cm
Height: 44 cm
Current Location: South Korea
RESCUE STORY – My early life was very challenging. I was rescued by Doremi Rescue in Yeoncheon County, South Korea, from a dangerous site where dogs were at risk. After my first rescue, I was cared for at a veterinary clinic. However, I was later taken from the clinic under false pretenses and ended up living in a severe hoarding situation. I shared a confined space with many dogs where food was scarce and fights often occurred. Some dogs were seriously injured, and sadly, a few didn’t survive. Despite the chaos, I stayed calm and resilient, and I was eventually rescued again when Doremi returned to remove several dogs from the property. Through it all, I’ve remained gentle and trusting, and now I’m ready to find a safe, loving home where I can flourish.
TEMPERAMENT – I’m calm, gentle, and emotionally steady. I get along well with other dogs, though I prefer observing quietly or resting rather than joining active play. With people, I’m sweet and affectionate once I have the chance to get to know you (I am a slow burn kinda gal)! I enjoy being petted, held, and handled. I don’t always approach first, but if someone waits patiently, I often come closer on my own. I can be slightly cautious around men, but I adjust gradually and confidently in new environments.
I rarely bark and have a naturally low energy level, making me a peaceful and comforting companion. I’m comfortable with elevators and car rides, but I haven’t used stairs yet. Having lived in a shelter environment for the majority of my life, I am not used to typical indoor sounds, (like doors closing, TV's, vacuums etc.) so it might take me a little time to get used to all the new noises. But with patience and love, I’ll adjust and feel right at home. I love calm pets from humans and dream of the day I get to have a family of my own who loves me.
ENERGY LEVEL - Low – I enjoy calm environments and gentle interactions rather than high-energy play.
GETS ALONG WITH:
Dogs – Yes, I get along well with other dogs but I would prefer to be the only dog in the home.
Kids – Unknown; would need gentle introductions.
Cats – Unknown; not tested.
PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around cats/squirrels/rabbits etc., so my adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviors, should they arise.
TRAINING:
Leash skills – work in progress but I am pretty dang good so far!! I walk slowly and calmly (video, video). I'd love an adopter who can help me work on my confidence on leash and someone who is OK with nice slow walks for a while :)
House trained – in progress; I may need some gentle guidance when I get to my new home. Frequent bathroom breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn quickly, I'm sure!
Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.
HEALTH NOTES:
I am spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records.
I will be tested for Heartworm etc. before flying to Canada.
I will have dental cleaning, if necessary, before flying to Canada.
NOTE: It is not uncommon for rescue dogs to require dental work after they are adopted. West Coast Paws does not cover the costs of dental work and/or vet visits. These costs are the financial responsibility of the adopter.
ADOPTION FEE:
My adoption fee is $840.00 CAD ($750.00 + GST & PST) including applicable taxes, which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.
