Sowon(HOLD)

My story

Quick Facts Name: Sowon Age: 11 years old Gender: Female  Neutered/Spayed: Yes  Breed: Mixed Breed  Color: Black & White & Brown  Weight: 5.3kg All About MeHi, I’m Sowon! I’m an 11-year-old mixed breed with a soft black, brown and white coat and a heart full of quiet strength. Weighing 5.3kg (11.7lb), I may be small in size, but I carry the spirit of a true survivor. My journey has been long and painful—when I was found, I had severe eye trauma, a uterine infection, intestinal issues, and dental disease. I had been abandoned on a mountain road in Gangwon-do, too weak to move, shivering in fear. Just moments before I was scheduled to be euthanized, a volunteer saw my story online and came to save me. Now, I’m healing and learning that the world can be a gentle place after all. My PersonalityI am gentle, quiet, and unassuming. I may be blind, but I don't let that stop me from living life with calm curiosity. At first, I can be a little cautious with new people, but if you offer a treat, I’ll gladly take it. Once I feel safe, I’ll even roll over and show my belly to let you know I trust you. I’m not a dog who demands attention—I’m just content to be near kind people. I bring a peaceful presence into the home and enjoy soft voices and slow, reassuring movements. Social SkillsWith other dogs, I am peaceful and tolerant. I coexist well with dogs of all sizes and don’t react aggressively, even when approached. I don’t seek out play or social interaction, but I’m happy to share space with calm, respectful dogs. I haven’t been tested with cats, but I show no signs of prey drive or agitation, so I may do well with a proper introduction. Energy and ActivitiesI have a low energy level and am happiest when I can nap in a cozy bed or lie beside you on a quiet afternoon. I no longer need long walks or vigorous activity—just a little movement to stretch my legs and sniff the world around me. Because of my blindness, I rely on my other senses to navigate, and I do quite well as long as my environment remains stable and familiar. Training and HabitsI’m a polite and well-mannered senior. I am fully house-trained and can use both pee pads and outdoor spaces depending on your routine. I do not guard my food or toys and am easygoing during mealtime. I am quiet and calm in a kennel and rarely bark, even when I’m unsure or adjusting to a new place. My HealthI have no vision in either eye and had my left eye surgically removed in 2021. I also had a uterine infection (pyometra) which was treated with surgery the same year. As of March 2025, I’ve completed dental scaling, all core vaccinations, and I tested negative for heartworm. I have no current joint or allergy issues. My Ideal HomeI would thrive in a peaceful and patient home where I can be given the space and time to adjust at my own pace. I don’t need a lot of activity or attention—just kindness, consistency, and a warm place to rest. Because I am blind, I do best in a home that doesn’t frequently rearrange furniture or has lots of obstacles. A family that understands senior dogs and special needs will be perfect for me. If you have other gentle dogs, that’s fine too—I’m happy to share my space. Special NotesDespite all I’ve been through, I am still resilient, dignified, and full of quiet hope. I don't flinch in crowds of dogs, and I’m not reactive to unfamiliar people, proving just how strong and emotionally grounded I truly am.   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ8tCwUHuZY&list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jy-lXwIpF8XyP0GhuesklV0 ##2346043##
