My story

🐾✨ Meet Pika β€” A Gentle, Social, and Affectionate Aspin Boy ✨🐾 πŸ“ Location: Korea πŸ‡°πŸ‡· (able to fly once adopted ✈️) 🐢 Name: Pika πŸŽ‚ Age: 6 months ♂️ Gender: Male βš–οΈ Weight: 6 kg (approx. 13 lb) πŸ• Breed: Aspin (Philippine native dog) 🧑 Personality & Social Skills He loves people of all ages and genders and bonds very quickly. He previously lived in a resort environment in the Philippines, where he was exposed to many people and animals. πŸ‘© With women: Excellent. Friendly, affectionate, and comfortable from the start. πŸ‘¨ With men: Excellent. No hesitation and warms up immediately. πŸ‘Ά With kids: Very good. Pika enjoys being petted and staying close to children. If children are running or screaming loudly, he calmly moves away on his own. With gentle kids, he may play quietly or simply observe nearby. 🐢 With dogs: Excellent. Polite greetings and good social manners. He plays when invited and relaxes calmly otherwise. Avoids conflict and moves away from dogs that bark aggressively. He lived with both large and small dogs at a resort in the Philippines. 🐱 With cats: Good. He may briefly sniff, but if there is no reaction, he quickly loses interest. Previously lived alongside stray cats. 🏠 Energy Level & Lifestyle Pika has a medium energy level. Indoors, he plays nicely with dog friends or entertains himself quietly with toys. When no one is engaging with him, he settles down easily and rests. 🚽 Habits & Training βœ” Fully house-trained βœ” Uses outdoor potty areas, indoor pee pads, and artificial grass βœ” No separation anxiety βœ” Quiet β€” no excessive barking πŸ– Handling & Touch Very affectionate and loves physical contact. A true lap dog with endless cuddles. πŸ• Leash Walking & Travel βœ” Walks well on leash βœ” Rides comfortably in cars βœ” Has experience traveling by boat and airplane πŸšͺ Escape Tendencies If startled or frightened, he may instinctively try to run. Basic supervision is recommended in new environments. 🚫 Aggression None. Pika is socially aware and immediately respects warning signals from other dogs. 🌈 Rescue Story Pika was rescued in the Philippines. His mother and littermates were killed in a traffic accident, and he appeared alone at a resort at just 2 months old. Because he was so young, other dogs prevented him from eating properly, leaving him severely malnourished with serious skin disease and unable to walk well.He was rescued at around 3 months of age in October 2025 and spent two months in a veterinary hospital receiving treatment and rehabilitation. After making a full recovery, he stayed at the resort while completing health checks and travel procedures.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt PIKA, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
