Coco

My story

Coco is a 2-year-old female jindo/welsh corgi mix who was sadly abandoned at a shelter from a young age. Faced with the fear of euthanasia, she was thankfully rescued and is now adapting to her new environment at our training center. While she is still unfamiliar with interactions with people, she is gradually building trust and slowly opening her heart. Weighing just 6 kg, Coco has adorable short legs and a cute appearance, resembling the characteristics of both the Jindo and Welsh Corgi breeds. She has a truly charming appearance that cannot be fully captured in photos and videos alone. Coco is a bit shy at first, but she is curious and will carefully approach and accept treats. Since she is not used to interacting with people yet, she might try to run away if someone tries to approach her, but in a smaller space, she will allow being touched or held. Having spent her early life in a shelter, she seems unsure about how to engage with people, but with time and love, she will gradually open up and become more confident. Because Coco has not lived with people before, she will need time to adjust to a home environment. It is important to be patient and not rush her during this process of becoming familiar with her new home and family. When going for walks, she must wear a double leash due to her potential to get startled by sudden noises or unfamiliar environments. She has an understandable tendency to want to run away if given the opportunity and having the double leash will prevent that from happening. Coco has a gentle nature and gets along very well with other dogs. She enjoys playing with both large and small dogs, and she shares treats willingly. She hardly ever barks, and currently, there are no signs of separation anxiety. However, during her adjustment to the new environment, she may experience some separation anxiety at first, so it is important for her guardian to help her adjust gradually. Currently, Coco is not fully house-trained, so there may be some accidents at first. However, with a patient guardian who regularly encourages outdoor potty training, she will likely quickly adapt. As Coco lacks social experience, it is important for her guardian to be patient and help her have various experiences. She is currently receiving leash training at the training center and will continue practicing before adoption. However, when she moves to her new home, she may need some additional time to adjust, and with a patient approach, she will become more accustomed over time. Coco is still a young dog with much to learn, but with warm love and patience, she will become the best companion. If you are ready to give Coco time and love, she will become your most loyal and loving friend.
