Royal

My story

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK&EWR💟 Meet Loyal👑 Royal was living inside a drainage pipe surrounded by thick overgrowth. When a volunteer spotted him, he was extremely skinny but greeted people with full-body wiggles and was finally rescued. * With People: Is a bit wary of strangers but is generally people-loving! Once adjusted, he shows affection and approaches asking to be petted. Follows people around, fully enjoying all the attention. * With Dogs: Approaches new dogs actively without wariness. When meeting other dogs, he sniffs their rear to say hello. If the other dog seems uncomfortable, he may growl, so it's important to watch carefully. Wants to approach when encountering dogs with interest. Does play if he’s familiar with the other dog and they have similar energy levels. * Separation Anxiety: When his caretaker leaves, he works on his nosework toy but whines once or twice after he’s finished. May need to start over with training in a new environment. * Potty Training: Goes outdoors when taken out for walks, but does indoors on days where walks aren’t possible (due to heavy rain, etc). Occasionally makes pee mistakes when pottying indoors. * Hygiene: Doesn't like baths but only resists by running into a corner. Gets blow-dryed in the corner. Doesn’t particularly like being brushed, but doesn’t resist and tolerates it every day. * Walks: Does calmly without pulling on the leash, and follows the handler's lead. If the leash is gently tugged, he may stop and sit for a moment. * Car Sickness: Suffers from motion sickness, so we're practicing with short drives first. * Doesn’t bite at all! * Whines for a short period when his caretaker leaves, and also whines a bit when he wants treats. * Is scared of the leash and finds it hard to leave the front door on his own. Will start desensitization training. Likes people but is uncomfortable with being held and may pee due to fear. Is also scared of doorsㅡelevator doors in particular. ❗Health Condition❗ * Neutered. * Microchipped and heartworm negative FOSTER'S IG : @happy_mung.mung
