Lian

My story

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to Vancouver & Toronto💟 Meet Lian💞 💙 Lian's Update Account: @adogs.imbo 1⃣ Health Condition * Neutered. * Microchipped and heartworm to be retested in August 2025. * At the time of rescue, he had severe mange and had to get shots for treatment. It was so severe that his skin was peeling, he had a lot of dandruff, and his fur was falling out. He’s getting coconut oil rubs to help with his dandruff and it’s working little by little. Regular care is needed. 2⃣ Rescue Story * Lian was a stray dog before entering the Jeonju City Shelter. Unfortunately, the shelter closed down, leaving him and his companion, Riel (#어독스리엘) at risk of euthanasia. With time running out, Adogs stepped in to rescue them both. 3⃣ Basic Information * With People: Is scared of strangers. Tries to flee when he sees them and freezes when he faces them. It takes a lot of time for Lian to open up but once he does, he sometimes wags his tail to say hello first and allows pets. When the guardians try to touch him first, he usually gets a little surprised and flinches. However, when they come back home, he runs and welcomes them! * With Dogs: Doesn’t approach first. Avoids other dogs or growls at them defensively at times. Doesn’t growl at familiar dogs but doesn’t play with them either. * Separation Anxiety: Stays alone very well without anxiety! * Potty Training: Usually used pads with 80% accuracy but makes some mistakes perhaps because he is scared in a new environment. Puts only hind legs on the pads while peeing, so often pee leaks out of the pads. Has a tendency to pee all at once after holding it probably because the foster home is still new to him. Tries to mark in new places. * Walks: Is scared of walks so he’s being taken outside while being held. Needs training to get used to walks. * Hygiene: Is scared of baths. Is good with brushing but he’s scared of the dryer so he’s being dried with a towel. * Car Sickness: Recently had the experience of traveling in a kennel in a taxi. Shivered out of nervousness at first but got better after a while. Does not have any symptoms of motion sickness. * Biting: When another dog is bothering him, he nips defensively and growls but isn’t aggressive. * Dislikes: Has become desesitized to loud noises in the home. However, he has a fearful personality so he gets surprised by sudden noises and loud movements. When being forced to do something, he may avoid being touched or hide in a corner for a few days. It’s important to introduce new things slowly with him.
