My story

Meet Minju – A Gentle Soul Born from a Story of Survival Minju was born under heartbreaking circumstances. Her mother was one of several dogs left behind on a meat farm after the owner became too ill to care for them. Starving and abandoned, many of the dogs didn’t survive. Fortunately, her pregnant mother was rescued just in time and gave birth to six puppies — including Minju — in the back of a moving car on the way to safety. Now, this sweet girl is ready to find the love and peace she deserves. --- ❤ Age: 7 months ❤ Gender: Female ❤ Weight: 10 kg (22 lbs) ❤ Breed: Retriever–Jindo Mix ❤ Color: Beige ❤ Health: Healthy, spayed --- ✅ Personality & Behavior ✔ With Women: Very good ✔ With Men: Very good ✔ With Kids: Not tested yet ✔ With Other Dogs: Not specified ✔ With Cats: No experience ✔ Temperament: Gentle, calm, and affectionate ✔ Handling: Enjoys being touched and handled ✔ Energy Level: Moderate ✔ Barking: Doesn’t bark loudly, may whine softly when needing something ✔ Escape Risk: None ✔ Destructive Tendencies: None – like many puppies, she enjoys carrying toys, towels, or shoes, but doesn’t damage them ✔ Food Aggression: None --- ✅ Training & Habits ✔ House Training: In progress – not fully house-trained yet ✔ Crate Training: Comfortable and relaxed in a crate ✔ Leash Walking: Still learning – sometimes stops when the leash tightens and may crouch if startled by loud noises ✔ Leash Reactivity: None – happy to see people and dogs, but stays calm ✔ Car Rides: Calm in the car, but may experience occasional motion sickness on longer rides --- ✅ Ideal Home Minju is adaptable and can live happily in an apartment.

She’s ready to leave behind her painful beginnings and step into a future filled with kindness, safety, and affection. Open your heart to Minju – and show her how beautiful life can be. 🐾💛
