Nurungji

My story

QUICK FACTS Name: Nurungji Age: About 2 Years Old Gender: Male (Neutered) Breed: Shiba – Jindo Mix Color: Brown and White Weight: 16kg / 35lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued with my family after we were found wandering on the dangerous streets. Now I’m safe, grown up with love and care, and ready to find a forever family of my own.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Neutered & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m Nurungji, a gentle and thoughtful soul who just needs a little time to open my heart. When we first meet, I may seem shy, so the greatest gift you can give me is patience and space. If you move slowly and let me come to you, I promise I will. I’m well-mannered in many ways—I can get in and out of the car by myself, rest calmly in a kennel, and walk beautifully whether it’s a busy city street or a quiet forest trail. After a fun walk, I love to pause, sniff the air, and enjoy peaceful moments in nature. I may be a cautious dog, but beneath that is a kind, quiet heart waiting to trust deeply. With patience, understanding, and love, I’ll become a loyal and truly special companion. If you’re someone who can walk slowly with me and enjoy the quiet beauty of growing trust together, I’ll be waiting for you.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I can be a bit cautious around new people. I’ll happily take treats, but I usually need a little more time before I feel comfortable. Once I open up, I can be held in your arms. With patience and understanding, I’ll become a loyal and loving companion. · With Dogs: I’m a very friendly dog! I love walking up to both familiar and new dogs to say hello and invite them to play with me. I’m generally friendly with dogs of all sizes — bigger dogs, dogs around my size, and even smaller pups. Dogs with very high energy can feel a bit overwhelming for me, so I tend to do better with calmer companions.But, I tend to rely on other dogs and feel more secure when I have a dog friend around. I’m more relaxed and confident when I’m not alone. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have low energy level – I enjoy a peaceful and relaxed lifestyle. I’m happiest when I can rest quietly by your side. I do enjoy going outside, but after a bit of fresh air and light activity, I’m quick to settle down and relax again.I have lots of experience on walks, so I don’t pull on the leash and I follow my person nicely. I’m the perfect companion if you’re looking for a calm, easygoing pup to share quiet moments with.   TRAINING & HABITS I don’t guard my food — not from people and not from other dogs. I’m very easygoing at mealtime.I’m generally a very quiet friend and rarely bark.When I’m placed in a kennel, I stay calm and settle down nicely.I know how to hop in and out of the car all by myself!I’m comfortable using both indoor pee pads and going potty outside. I’m flexible and can adjust to your routine.   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 tend to rely on other dogs and feel more secure when I have a dog friend around. I’m more relaxed and confident when I’m not alone. Sudden approaches, being picked up, or hands coming over my head can make me uncomfortable, so I feel safest with gentle, predictable movements. Because of this, I would do best in a calm home that can match my pace—rather than a busy environment with fast movements.   Nurungji's Youtube Playlist   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2689912##
