Gwansik

My story

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK&EWR💟 Meet Gwansik🎇 💙 Gwansik's News Account: @kkom.v 1. Health Condition * Neutered. * Others: Microchipped and will be retested for heartworm in December 2025. * As a side effect of heartworm, he may cough. Needs continuous care as he may get pneumotitis and bronchitis. 2. Rescue Story * Gwansik was living on a chain lead of about 1 meter long at the Gimje City Shelter. As the shelter was close to its maximum occupancy, Gwansik needed to be rescued to a safe place. 3. Basic Information * With People: Doesn’t approach strangers first, but accepts touching and asks for more pets if people approach him first. Shows affection and follows people he’s close with! * With Dogs: If a new dog approaches him, he calmly says hello but doesn’t show much interest otherwise. Gets along well with dogs he’s familiar with. * With Cats: Has no big interest in the cats he encounters on the streets. * Separation anxiety: Is an independent dog that is fine when left alone or when left with strangers or other dogs. * Potty Training: Does well on potty pads with 100% accuracy. Can potty both indoors and outdoors. * Hygiene: Gets nervous during baths but gets through it well. Loves being brushed! Is good with nail trims, but gets very excitable if he hears grinding noises so he hasn’t tried nail grinders yet. Is getting training to get accustomed to tooth brushing. * Walks: Is curious about things so pulls a bit on the leash but comes back to his handler when his name is called. Only walks to go potty now due to the health concerns. * Car Sickness: Does not get car sick and does well even with long distance road trips! * Dislike: May get surprised if touched suddenly, so care is needed.
