Charong

My story

QUICK FACTS Name: Charong Age: 5 years old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Chihuahua mix Color: Black & white Weight: 6kg / 13lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from a city pound after being placed on the euthanasia list due to lack of space. I’m not sure how I ended up abandoned and alone—I was found wandering around an apartment complex before being taken to the shelter. Now that I’m safe, I’m ready to find my forever family!   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Spayed with no known health issues Received dental cleaning in October 2025   MY PERSONALITY When you meet me, you’ll see what a handsome girl I am—I look like I’m wearing a little tuxedo, like a true girl boss! I’m a very energetic pup who loves going for walks and exploring the world. I adore people and thrive on human companionship—being close to my humans is one of my absolute favorite things!   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I’m very friendly with people! I love greeting everyone and receiving pets and affection. You can easily pick me up and I like to show my belly a lot as a sign of trust. I am very affectionate with volunteers and staff and · With Dogs: I love playing with dog friends, but I have a very energetic, sometimes pushy play style—so I do best with dogs who can match my energy. I can be a bit too much for calmer or senior dogs. I also get jealous when other dogs get affection, so I’d be happiest as the only dog in the home where I can soak up all the love! · With Cats: My reaction to cats is still to be determined. When I see them on walks, I might watch with curiosity for a moment, but I quickly lose interest and continue on my way..   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I’m a fun, high-energy girl who loves adventure! I need plenty of outdoor time to run, explore, and let out my zoomies before I can settle happily indoors. Once I’ve had my exercise, I turn into the sweetest, cuddliest companion.   TRAINING & HABITS I walk well on leash overall, though I can pull when I’m excited or want to go a certain direction, so I’ll benefit from continued leash training. I don’t guard my food with people, but I can get protective around other dogs, so separate mealtimes are best. I’m very food-motivated and have a big appetite—sometimes I even try to sneak food from the table—so I’ll need some consistent guidance with manners. I already know basic commands like sit, and I rest calmly in my kennel. I may bark when I want attention, and I can mark a bit when I’m adjusting to a new environment. If I join a home with another dog, slow introductions are important since I can come on a little strong at first. With patience and structure, I’ll settle in beautifully!   MY IDEAL HOME I’m searching for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: A family that offers a fun, structured, and safe environment. A family that understands my high energy needs and willing to guide me with patience so I learn to be more patient and calmer. A family that understands my love for food & helping me become more patient when other dogs are nearby. Ideally home as a single dog A family that will cherish me and spend lots of outdoor & indoor time together.   SPECIAL NOTES I’m a super sweet, friendly girl who absolutely adores people! I know my forever family is out there waiting for me. I’m considered a level 1 rescue dog, which means I adapt quickly and settle easily into new environments—just give me a little love, and I’ll feel right at home.   Charong's YouTube Playlist   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2579663##
