Ivon

My story

QUICK FACTS Name: Ivon Age: About 4.5 Months Old Gender: Male (Spayed) Breed: Jindo – Spitz Mix Color: Brown and White Weight: 4.5kg / lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I came from a place where time runs out too quickly. I was a dog at the city shelter— one of the many facing euthanasia. I didn’t know what that meant but I could feel the urgency, the quiet tension in the air. And then, just in time, someone chose me and gave me a second chance at life. Since that day, I’ve been holding onto that chance with all my heart. I’m a dog who wants to love deeply, trust fully, and finally belong.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Neutered & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m Ivon, a tiny, gentle soul learning to be brave. I may not run up to you right away but if you watch closely, you’ll see — I’m always trying, in my own quiet way, to come closer. I want to be close to people. I just need a bit of courage. I’m a small, adorable pup with a soft presence. Even though I’m still young, I have a calm and gentle nature. I’m the kind of puppy who prefers quiet comfort over chaos. I’m the kind of dog who quietly becomes your whole heart. If you’re someone who can move slowly with me, and celebrate the small, beautiful moments of trust, I think we could grow into something really special together.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I might be a little shy when we first meet. If you offer me a treat, I’ll gently come closer and take it, but I may need a little more time before I’m ready for pets. I just like to understand you first and once I do, you’ll see me relax and open up in my own quiet way. You can scoop me up with your arms under my belly — I’m comfortable being held once I feel safe with you.  I haven’t had the chance to meet children under 13 yet, so I may just need gentle introductions and a bit of time. · With Dogs: When I meet other dogs, I like to keep things calm and simple. I’ll walk up and say a polite hello, but I’m not always looking to play — I’m more of a “nice to meet you” and then carry on kind of dog. I enjoy peaceful, low-key interactions, and I’m happiest when things stay relaxed and respectful. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have moderate energy level – I enjoy going out for walks and getting fresh air, and once I’ve had my time outside, I’m happy to come home and relax quietly. On walks, I’m still learning. I’ll need a bit of guidance and training to walk nicely, but I’m willing and ready to learn.   TRAINING & HABITS When it comes to food, I’m very relaxed — I don’t guard it from people or other dogs, so everything stays peaceful. Sometimes, when I really want something, I’ll give a little “hey, don’t forget me!” bark — just my way of talking to you. In my kennel, I settle down calmly and rest without trouble, and I’m comfortable having my own quiet space. I’m also flexible with potty habits — I can use both indoor pads and go outside, depending on the routine we build together.   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’m still learning how to walk nicely on a leash. I’ll need a bit of guidance and training during walks, but I’m a smart pup who’s ready to learn. With patience, consistency, and a little teamwork, I’ll grow into a wonderful walking companion. I’m building confidence and learning about the world. With patience, kindness, and a safe environment, I’ll continue to open up and show more of who I am.    IVON'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.co ##2700982##
