Connie

My story

 QUICK FACTS  Name: Connie Age: 7 years old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Golden Retriever Color: Brown Weight: 23kg / 50.7lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed    MY RESCUE STORY  My previous owner went through difficult circumstances and, sadly, could no longer care for me. During that time, I wasn’t given the love and attention I deserved. Thankfully, kind-hearted people stepped in and rescued me just in time. Now I’m safe, cared for, and ready for a fresh start. I’m looking for a forever family who will cherish me, love me unconditionally, and walk by my side for the rest of my life. I promise to give my whole heart in return.    MY HEALTH  • All vaccinations up-to-date • Spayed & healthy with no known health issues    MY PERSONALITY  I’m a super friendly girl who absolutely thrives on human attention and loves soaking up pets and affection! Even though I had a sad start and was neglected due to unfortunate circumstances, I didn’t let that dim my loving spirit. I’m incredibly trusting of people and truly adore being around my humans. I love playing with toys, get along wonderfully with my dog friends, and bring that classic happy-go-lucky Golden Retriever energy wherever I go. I’m all heart, sunshine, and tail wags!    MY SOCIAL SKILLS  · With People: I’m incredibly friendly with people and absolutely adore receiving affection and pets! I’ll happily trot right up to you for cuddles, and once I feel comfortable, I love showing my belly for extra rubs. I allow myself to be picked up and truly enjoy being held close. One of my favorite things in the world is sleeping beside you in bed—I just love being near my person! I can get a little sad when you’re out of sight because I bond very deeply with my family. When I love, I love with my whole heart. · With Dogs: I’m great with my dog friends too! I enjoy greeting new dogs, but I don’t rush straight into play—I like to take my time and do my own thing first. I get along well with my buddies at the care facility and tend to feel most comfortable around smaller dogs. I’m a calm, easygoing girl who prefers peaceful friendships over rough-and-tumble chaos.  · With Cats: My full reaction to cats is still unknown, but during walks I simply look at them with a bit of curiosity and then quickly refocus on my handler. I don’t fixate and happily continue on my way. A proper cat test can be arranged upon request to make sure it’s the perfect match for everyone.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY  I have a lovely moderate energy level — I enjoy playing with my toys, soaking up the sunshine, and spending time outdoors exploring. After I’ve had my fun and walk time, I’m more than happy to curl up indoors for cozy snuggles and relaxation.    TRAINING & HABITS  I generally walk very well on leash and follow my handler’s lead nicely. At the start of a walk, I might pull a little because I’m just so excited (who doesn’t love walk time?!), but I settle quickly and show great leash manners. Volunteers and staff often compliment what a good, bubbly girl I am. I love my toys and happily play without resource guarding. Because I bond deeply with my people, I may develop some separation anxiety once I’ve fully attached to my forever family. With continued guidance, structure, and reassurance, I’ll learn to feel confident and trust that you’ll always come back for me. I’m generally quiet but may bark a little when I want attention. I rest calmly in my kennel and potty both indoors (using a pee pad) and outdoors.     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 will provide me with a safe haven – where I can decompress, be myself in a stable environment • A family that understands my past and is patient with me throughout • A family that enjoys indoor and outdoor time together • A family that will love and cherish me forever    SPECIAL NOTES  I’ve been through some changes in my life, but I haven’t let that take away my loving heart. I bond very deeply with my people and truly thrive on human companionship — being close to you makes me feel safe and happy. Because of this, I may need a little patience and reassurance as I adjust to my forever home, especially when learning that you’ll always come back for me. I’m a loyal, affectionate girl who just wants to love and be loved in return. With stability, structure, and lots of cuddles, I’ll blossom into the most devoted companion you could ask for.   Connie's Youtube Playlist    Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org  For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2666594##
