Naru

My story

QUICK FACTS Name: Naru Age: Born September 27th 2025 (Around 6 months old) Gender: Female (To be neutered soon) Breed: Mini Jindo mix Color: Black Weight: 6.9kg / 15lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY My brave mama spent her days wandering the streets, doing everything she could to survive on her own. When it was finally time, she found a small sense of safety at a factory site, where she brought six of us into the world—including me. It wasn’t an easy place to grow up, but the kind workers there did their best to look out for us, making sure we had food and a bit of protection whenever they could. Even so, it wasn’t the right environment for tiny puppies like us, and with so many little ones, we needed more care than they could provide. That’s when our story took a hopeful turn. Rescuers heard about us and stepped in with open hearts, bringing our whole little family to safety and giving us a second chance at life. Now, we’re safe, growing stronger every day, and ready for the happiest chapter yet—finding our forever families who will love us as much as we’ll love them.   MY HEALTH Spaying to be scheduled soon. Healthy with no known health issues All vaccinations up-to-date   MY PERSONALITY I’m even cuter and smaller in real life—photos and videos really don’t do me justice! Everyone who meets me, including volunteers and staff, often says how sweet and calm I am. I’m a resilient little girl who adjusts quickly to new changes, and I’ve been doing so well learning all kinds of new things like walking on a leash, grooming, and riding in the car. I picked up house training very quickly and already prefer going potty outdoors. I truly enjoy being around people and will happily follow you around just to be close and get some attention. I’ve also briefly lived with two medium to large dogs in temporary foster homes after my rescue, and I handled that transition well too. With my adaptable nature and loving personality, I’m ready to fit right into my forever home.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I may be a little shy at first, but I’m a gentle and curious girl who warms up quickly—especially if there are treats involved! I’ll happily take treats from your hand as I get to know you, and with just a bit of time, my sweet and affectionate nature really starts to shine. Once I feel safe and comfortable, I love soaking up pets and cuddles. I’m also comfortable being picked up, which makes me an easy, loving companion to have by your side. · With Dogs: I really enjoy meeting new dog friends and will happily go up to greet them with a curious and friendly attitude. Once I feel comfortable, I love to play and interact, showing off my fun and playful side. I have a sweet way of socializing and truly enjoy the company of other dogs, especially when the energy feels just right. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown. A cat test can be arranged upon request to ensure the best fit.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate energy level—I’m still a young pup with a big curiosity about the world around me! I love exploring, sniffing, and discovering all the new sights and smells during my adventures. Once I’ve had a good balance of mental and physical activity, I’m more than happy to settle down indoors and relax right by your side.   TRAINING & HABITS I’m still learning my leash manners, but I’m improving a little more each day. Sometimes I can feel unsure on walks and may pause or flatten myself to the ground, but with gentle encouragement and patience, I’m slowly gaining confidence and learning to feel safe exploring the world. I have good manners around people and don’t guard my food, though I can be a bit sensitive if other dogs are nearby during mealtimes. I’m a quiet, easygoing girl who rarely barks, and I settle nicely in my kennel when it’s time to rest. I’ve also developed a great potty routine and already prefer going outdoors. With consistency, reassurance, and lots of love, I’ll continue to blossom into a confident, well-mannered, and loving companion.   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 • Understanding I’m still a young pup and will need continued socialization and basic obedience training   SPECIAL NOTES I’m a gentle, resilient, and highly adaptable pup who adjusts quickly to new environments and routines. I form strong bonds with my humans and truly thrive on companionship—I love being near my people and will happily follow you around for attention. I’m a quick learner who has already shown great progress with training, including leash walking, grooming, kennel rest, and house manners. I do best with patient guidance and positive reinforcement as I continue building my confidence, especially in new or unfamiliar situations. I have a balanced personality—I enjoy exploring and being active outdoors, but I also settle nicely indoors and love to cuddle. I get along well with other dogs but prefer calm, respectful interactions and thoughtful introductions. With the right mix of structure, consistency, and love, I will continue to grow into a loyal, well-mannered, and deeply affectionate companion.   NARU'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.co ##2698703##
