Kkamang

My story

QUICK FACTS Name: Kkamang Age: About 5 Years Old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Maltese – Poodle Color: Black Weight: 4kg / 9lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I used to live with my sisters but when our guardian had to move into a nursing home, we suddenly lost the only home we knew. All four of us were rescued and I’m one of them. It was a confusing change, but now I’ve been given a second chance to find a family of my own.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Spayed & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m Kkamang—a tiny, adorable Maltipoo with a soft heart. I might look a little shy at first, but I’m actually quite friendly, even with people I’ve just met. I like being around humans and feel comforted by gentle attention. I’m a sweet little pup who just needs understanding and reassurance. I may be small, but I have so much potential to grow into a loving, trusting companion. If you’re someone who can go slow with me and help me build confidence, I’ll be right there by your side, learning to feel safe and loved.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I can be a little shy when we first meet, but give me a treat and a gentle approach, and I warm up quickly. Before you know it, I’ll be leaning in for pets and enjoying your company. I’m comfortable being picked up when you gently lift me with support under my belly, and once I feel safe with you, I’ll even roll over and show you my belly—a quiet little way of saying I trust you. I haven’t had the chance to meet young children under 13 yet, so I may need a bit of time and guidance in new situations like that. · With Dogs: I’m a naturally friendly pup who loves making new friends—I’ll happily walk up to both familiar and new dogs to say hello and invite them to play. I tend to feel especially comfortable and get along best with dogs around my own size. · With Cats: Cats might pass by, but I’m much more interested in staying connected with my human during walks   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have moderate energy level – I like getting fresh air, but I’m just as content resting once I’m back home. I’m still learning about the outside world, so if something surprises me, I might stop and lie low until I feel safe again. Peaceful walks suit me best, as heavy traffic and loud environments can be a little scary. With time and support, I’m growing braver every day.   TRAINING & HABITS I’m comfortable sharing space and don’t guard my meals around people or other dogs. I may whine a little when I’m in a kennel, and car rides can feel scary, so I need a bit of help being gently carried in. I’m adaptable with my potty habits and can use both indoor pads and go outside.   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 Grooming time—like baths, drying, and nail trims—can be really scary for me. When I feel overwhelmed, I might try to protect myself, so I’ll need someone patient who can help me feel safe and go at my pace. I can also get startled easily, and when I do, I may panic a bit. Because of that, extra care is important during walks or in new environments, so I don’t try to run off. I’m still learning how to feel confident outside, so walking isn’t quite my strength yet—but with time and gentle guidance, I can improve.    KKAMANG'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2720327##
