Jackie

My story

All About Me Name: Jackie Age: 5 years old Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Jindo Terrier Mix Color: White, Black & Brown Weight: 13 kg / 29 lb   My Personality Hi, I’m Jackie a quiet soul with a soft heart. When I enter a new space or meet someone for the first time, I might not run right up with a wagging tail. I take my time, watch closely, and learn who’s kind and safe. But here’s the secret: once I know you, I really know you. I’ll wag my tail, eat snacks from your hand, and even nuzzle close to ask for affection. I'm not the kind of dog who demands attention, but give me a little time and space, and you’ll discover just how sweet and loyal I can be. I bond deeply with those I trust and that bond is something truly special   Social Skills With People: I can be shy at first, especially around strangers or in new places. But if you're patient and gentle, I’ll come around within a few days. Treats help a lot! With Other Dogs: I love having doggy friends around. I get along well with most other pups, especially those my size. I even rely on them for comfort sometimes when I’m unsure of my surroundings. With Cats: I haven’t met any cats yet, so we’re not sure how I’d do.   Energy and Activities I enjoy being outside! I can pull a bit on the leash, and if something loud or sudden happens like a noise in the distance I might get startled and try to dart away. I’ll need a secure harness and someone calm and confident by my side as I learn that the world isn’t such a scary place after all.With time, I know I’ll grow braver and more balanced.   My Ideal Home If you're someone who understands that trust takes time and love is patient, then I might be the dog for you.I’m looking for a calm home where I can slowly settle in, maybe with another friendly dog to show me the ropes. A quiet environment, a soft bed, kind words, and a bit of routine that’s my dream life. Once I find my person, I’ll love them with all my heart. I don’t need to be the center of attention I just want to belong, to feel safe, and to share quiet moments with someone who sees me for who I am. Could that person be you?   Life at Home I’m not food-protective with people or other dogs. I’m quiet I rarely bark. I ride calmly in a kennel and rest quietly inside one I know how to use pee pads indoors but also go potty outside In new places, I may mark early on wearing a diaper and slow introductions to the home help a lot I’m still learning to feel comfortable being picked up or handled closely, so a home that respects my pace would be perfect     ##2382562##
