Mina

My story

QUICK FACTS Name: Mina Age: January 18, 2024 (About 2 Years Old) Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Jindo Mix Color: White Weight: 10kg / 22lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY Before I was brought to the city shelter, I was left behind near the back of a convenience store. I didn’t know where to go or who to wait for. But then, I was rescued and given a chance to start over. I’m still learning that I’m safe now, and that good things can happen. I’m hoping to start writing my next chapter with a forever family of my own that will cherish me.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Spayed & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m Mina and I’m sweeter than I look and I already look pretty cute! I’m friendly with people, especially women, and I’m usually comfortable even when meeting someone for the first time. I enjoy being petted and spending time close to my humans—it comes naturally to me. I’m a smart girl too! I already know how to sit and lie down, and I’m quick to learn new things. People say I’m even cuter in person and maybe that’s because of my gentle, affectionate nature. If you’re looking for a loving, bright companion who will happily walk by your side and greet the world with curiosity, I might just be your girl.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I can be a little shy at first, but if you come with treats, I’ll gather the courage to come closer and take them from you. I just need a bit more time before I’m ready for touch—but once I feel safe, I slowly open up. You can gently pick me up by supporting me under my belly—I’m okay with being held like that. And when I truly feel at ease, I’ll roll over and show you my belly—that’s my way of saying I trust you completely. I do tend to feel more comfortable around women, while men can be a bit intimidating for me at first. With patience and kindness, though, I can learn to trust. · With Dogs: I’ll politely go up and say hello to other dogs, even if we’ve just met, but I’m not really one for playtime—I tend to keep to myself. Most of the time, I’m pretty indifferent to other dogs and prefer doing my own thing. That said, if another dog comes on too strong or tries to provoke me, I might react, so I do best with calm and careful introductions when meeting new dogs. · With Cats: When I see a cat, I can get very excited and may try to chase, so I’d do best in a home without cats.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have moderate energy level – I enjoy getting outside and spending time in the fresh air, and after a good outing, I’m happy to settle down and relax quietly. On walks, I can get a little excited and may pull at times, but I do like to stay connected with my person and follow along. I also love taking in all the smells, so I tend to stop and go as I explore—it’s my favorite way to enjoy the world around me.   TRAINING & HABITS I’m pretty easygoing when it comes to food—I don’t feel the need to guard it, whether I’m around people or other dogs. I’m usually a quiet companion, but I might bark when I see someone new. I settle down nicely in my kennel and stay calm once I’m inside. Car rides can feel a bit scary for me, so I’ll need a little help being carried in. I usually prefer doing my business outside, so I’m most comfortable with outdoor potty routines.   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 Right now, I’m living in a foster home, so I’m used to home life and doing well with my potty habits. I’ve lived with another dog before, so I understand what it’s like to share space, but I’m also doing just fine on my own. I can adapt to either, as long as I have love and guidance.    MINA'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.co ##2708959##
