Hoya

My story

Currently in a Toronto foster home! Hello! My name is Hoya, and I’m a 4-year-old female Golden Retriever-Jindo mix, weighing 27 kg (59 lbs). With my large, sturdy frame and calm, friendly nature, I’m a truly special companion. Rescued from a shelter in Korea just before being euthanized, I’ve been given a second chance at life and can’t wait to share it with my forever family. I’m a quiet dog who rarely barks, and I’m incredibly friendly with people—even strangers. I trust humans completely and am happy to let them pet me. While I get along with other dogs, I tend to prefer spending time alone or enjoying one-on-one attention with my humans. I’m non-aggressive and absolutely adore showing affection—it’s in my nature to love and be loved. I’m well-trained and know commands like “sit,” “wait,” and “house,” which I follow with ease. On walks, I’m the perfect gentleman: I stay calm, walk steadily beside my human, and don’t pull on the leash. I enjoy exploring the world at my own pace, sniffing around with curiosity, but loud noises or sudden movements don’t faze me. I love treats and am cooperative with grooming activities like baths and brushing. My greatest joy comes from being close to people and feeling their love and care. My gentle personality and warm heart make me a wonderful addition to any home. Are you ready to welcome a loyal, sweet, and affectionate dog into your life? I’m Hoya, and I can’t wait to meet you and brighten your days with my love!
