Puma

My story

Hi, I’m Puma! 🐾 I'm a 2-year-old girl, weighing about 15kg, and I’m a Jindo mix with a calm heart and a gentle soul. My story began in a tough place—when I was just a little pup, I was tied up and left alone in the fields. Life was scary and lonely back then. I even had a run-in with a cat that left me hurt and afraid. But those days are behind me now. Thanks to kind people, I was rescued and given warmth, safety, and love. Slowly but surely, I’ve been learning how good life can be. I’m a calm and quiet girl—never one to jump around or cause a fuss. I might be a little shy when I first meet someone new, but if you have a treat or two, I’ll come around quickly and show you my soft, loving eyes. I’m not very interested in kids, but I’m okay being around them. I just kind of do my own thing. When it comes to other dogs, I like to keep my distance. I won’t pick a fight, but I’ll let them know (with a gentle growl) if they’re getting too close. I think I’d really thrive as the only dog in the home—where I can soak up all your love just for me. And cats? I’ve had some bad experiences, so it’s best if there aren’t any in my new home. Once I feel safe, my true self starts to shine. I love following my human around the house, playing with shoes (they make the best toys!), and showing off my sweet, affectionate side. I adore food and take my time chewing my meals—I'm a real lady about it. I even enjoy grooming time and have learned that baths aren’t so bad—they can be fun! My energy level is low—maybe a 2 out of 10—so I’m happiest with a balance of gentle walks and cozy naps. I walk well on a leash, though I might pull a little if I’m excited. I’m mostly quiet, and I only bark if there’s a big noise that surprises me. I’m also great in the car—no motion sickness here! I do all my potty business outside like a proper girl, and I know my basic commands like “sit,” “wait,” and “paw.” I’m even calm at the vet! And don’t worry if you have to leave the house—I’m perfectly content being alone and won’t make a fuss. Despite everything I’ve been through, I’m ready to love and be loved. I’ve got so much sweetness and loyalty to give to someone who sees me for who I am. If you open your heart to me, I promise it won’t take long—I’ll be your little shadow, your best friend, and your quiet sunshine in no time. I’m ready for my forever home. Could it be with you? 💛 Love, Puma
