Story
Meet Dough, a sweet 7-month-old neutered male Jindo mix with a soft beige coat and a heart full of sunshine. Weighing 8kg, Dough was born to his mom Tenne, who had been tied up outside a home where she gave birth to three pups. When the owner could no longer care for them, Dough and his family were surrendered — and now this lovable pup is ready for a fresh start.
Dough is as friendly as they come. He’s eager to meet people, whether they’re familiar faces or brand-new friends, and he’ll happily lean in for pets and belly rubs. Because his original owner was a man, he’s comfortable with both men and women, and he’s been wonderful with young children under 13. He even lets people lift him by tucking an arm under his belly — and yes, he’ll show his belly to strangers, too!
This cheerful little guy is a social butterfly with other dogs. Dough approaches every pup with curiosity and enthusiasm, even if they grumble at him — he’s too optimistic to take offense! While he might bark at larger dogs behind a fence, he’s all tail wags and friendliness when meeting them face to face. Whether the dog is energetic or mellow, Dough adapts easily, and as long as the other dog isn’t aggressive, he’s ready to be friends.
During walks, he may show interest in cats from a distance, but he follows his person’s lead without issue. He’s curious but respectful, and he’ll come back when called. A home cat test can also be arranged.
Dough has a moderate energy level — he enjoys outdoor fun and playtime but settles down nicely afterward. After a good walk or romp, he’s happy to nap or play quietly indoors. That said, if a person walks into the room, Dough’s tail (and spirit) spring right back to life. He’s come a long way with his leash skills — from freezing in place to now enjoying walks and responding well to his handler’s voice. Occasionally he’ll try to lead the way out of curiosity, but he’s so responsive that it’s easy to guide him back.
Dough doesn’t guard food from people or other dogs, though he’s not above stealing a yummy snack if he sees the chance! Even when another dog takes his food, he doesn’t get upset. He’s typically quiet, and while he might whine a little at first in his kennel, he quickly settles down. He still needs help getting into cars, preferring to be carried, but he travels well without getting carsick. He does his business outdoors during the day and uses pee pads at night, showing great progress with his potty training.
Dough is a happy, adaptable pup with endless love to give. All he needs now is a home to grow up in. Send in your application today through our website https://adoptmekoreanrescue.org/adoption-application/
