My story

Hello… my name is Yeon-gyeong 🤍 I’m 3 years old, a 15kg Jindo mix girl. There was a time when I was waiting for death. In a very poor shelter, where each day could have been my last, I stood quietly in line. I didn’t know why I was there. I don’t know who left me, where I was born, or what my life was supposed to be. But I know one thing about myself — I did not choose to hate people. Just before the end, I was rescued like a miracle. For the first time, I was given permission to live. A dog who almost wasn’t allowed to keep breathing… is now learning what life can be. --- And even after everything, I really love people. If you look into my eyes, my tail starts to wag first. When you come closer, I gently open my heart. I’m good with other dogs, and once I feel comfortable, I become affectionate and sweet. I’m the kind of dog who will quietly walk over and lean against you, as if I’m asking, “Is it okay for me to be loved too?” Home life may be new to me — a house, daily routines with people, rules and promises. I might not understand everything right away. I might be a little slow sometimes. I might need patience. But that’s not because I’m a bad dog. It’s simply because no one ever gave me the chance to learn. If you teach me with love and wait for me with kindness, I promise I will grow into a steady, loyal, beautiful companion. I want to learn. I want to belong. I want to stay. --- I am not waiting for another shelter, another goodbye, or death. I am waiting for my forever home — my forever family. A life where surviving is no longer the only thing I have. A life where I can truly be “Yeon-gyeong,” called by my name with warmth. Please let the rest of my story be filled with love instead of fear. Will you be the family that calls my name for the rest of my life? 🤍🐾
