My story

I’m a 4-year-old girl with a very special mix of Retriever and Jindo, though I’m much smaller than you might expect—just 9kg (around 20 lbs)! I may have the soul of a big dog, but my body is small, gentle, and full of charm. People always say I have the softest eyes and the kind of presence that quietly steals your heart. I don’t need to jump or bark—I just walk up and lean my head against you, and that’s enough to say, “I’m yours.” I absolutely love people. I’m calm, sweet, and affectionate with everyone I meet—even strangers! I'm not clingy, though. I’m fine being alone and I rarely bark, so if you're looking for a peaceful companion, I'm your girl. Now, I’ll be honest—I do get a little protective over food if other dogs come too close, but it’s just a small growl. I’ve never fought or caused trouble. In fact, outside of mealtime, I’m incredibly social. I get along great with other dogs—big or small—and I’m even chill around cats. Whether you already have furry family members or not, I’ll fit right in. I enjoy walks, love bath time, and have the kind of stable, easygoing nature that makes off-leash time possible (in safe areas, of course). I don’t have any aggression at all. What I do have is a big heart and a soft belly that I love to show off when I lie down and ask for pets. Give me a gentle rub, and I’ll show you just how much I love it—with my whole body. Right now, I’m staying at a training center after spending some time in a foster home. Even though the environment has changed, I’ve adjusted quickly. All I really want is love—and once I feel it, I give it back tenfold. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who knows the value of quiet moments and warm hearts, I think we might be meant for each other. Let’s fill each other’s days with gentle love, soft touches, and a bond that lasts forever. With all my heart, Heendoong
