Hyunmi

My story

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to LAX💟 Meet Hyunmi💕 (It means brown rice in Korean) * Hyunmi was rescued from the Gimje City Shelter along with his sibling #AdogsGwiri. The two relied on each other in the shelter. Since they were still young and the shelter had outbreaks of infectious diseases, both were rescued before spending their entire puppyhood there. * With People: Is a bit shy and may bark when approached by unfamiliar people but calms down quickly if redirected. With familiar people, he follows them around, wags his tail, and enjoys being held. Has become very accustomed to touch and will roll over to show his belly when approached or petted. * With Dogs: Tends to be wary of unfamiliar dogs, but not running away. Loves playing with familiar dogs and enjoys full-body play with a dog at his foster home. Seems to be becoming more and more dependant on his foster sibling, so we are keeping an eye on them. * With Cats: Shows little interest when encountering cats. * Separation Anxiety: Is fine spending time alone, and also plays well when left with a dog companion. When left with a stranger, he is a bit shy at first, but relaxes if given treats. * Potty Training: Mostly does his business outdoors, so he tends to express his will by tapping his feet in front of the door to go out to the yard when he wants to go to the bathroom. * Hygiene: Dislikes baths and hides in his kennel. If you forcefully try to take him out, he screams and resists. Stays still once he’s actually being bathed, but may bite when you try to catch him so caution is needed. Shows his dislike of nail trimming by screaming. Runs away from the dryer or brush but stays docile once grooming actually starts. * Walks: Has improved significantly with leash pulling since beginning solo walks. Used to stop when seeing cars or motorcycles, but has gained confidence and even runs during walks. Still finds busy streets overwhelming, so desensitization training is ongoing. Sometimes tries to chew his leash or collar, which he’s also undergoing desensitization training for. * Car Sickness: Gets anxious in the car but becomes calm if his guardian holds him. * Tends to resist when someone tries to grab him with their hands. Most of the time, he just squeals, but when he’s really uncomfortable, he may try to mouth or nip, so please be cautious. * Whines and squeals out of fear if a bigger dog tries to play with him. * Likes eating treats and chewing toys. * Is scared if other dog friends even lightly touch him to try to play with him and winces out of fear if someone suddenly stands up. Reacts fearfully to sudden and loud noises. * Has mastered 'sit,' 'lie down,' 'wait,' and 'turn.' Is well kennel-trained so he goes into his crate to rest when he wants to be alone. ❗Health Condition❗ * Neutered. * Microchipped, and heartworm negative. FORSTER'S IG : @adogs_hyunme
