Churi

My story

QUICK FACTS Name: Churi Age: About 4 Years Old Gender: Male (Neutered) Breed: Terrier Mix Color: Brown, Black and White Weight: 5kg / 11lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was found wandering the cold streets, trying to find my way through unfamiliar days on my own. The world felt big, lonely, and uncertain, and I never knew where I would end up next. Then kind people noticed me and brought me somewhere safe. For the first time in a long while, I could finally rest without fear. Now I’m learning that life can be warm, gentle, and full of care. With each passing day, I’m growing more hopeful about the brighter future waiting ahead.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Neutered & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m Churi. I spent some time surviving on the cold streets before being rescued, so the world can still feel a little overwhelming to me sometimes. Because of that, I can be cautious around people at first, quietly retreating to a corner while I figure things out. But underneath that timid side is a deeply gentle heart that truly wants comfort and connection. Once I begin to feel safe, I slowly lean into affection in my own sweet way. I may spin around nervously when someone tries to pick me up, but the funny part is that once I’m in your arms, I completely relax and melt right over for belly rubs. I also have very serious hobbies: burrowing under blankets, rolling around on the bed, and staying as warm and cozy as possible on heated blankets. With time, you’ll discover a soft, quirky little soul who quietly blossoms with love and trust.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I can be cautious when meeting new people and tend to take a little time to fully relax around unfamiliar faces. Even so, I’m willing to build trust gently—especially if treats are involved. Once that trust is there, my softer side naturally begins to shine through. I’m also comfortable being picked up, which helps me feel secure and cared for. · With Dogs: I tend to feel most comfortable around dogs close to my own size and enjoy their company in a calm, friendly way. Having another dog nearby helps me feel more secure and settled, and I often gain confidence from their presence. When meeting unfamiliar dogs for the first time, I do best with thoughtful introductions, as I may react if another dog is confrontational or overly pushy. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have moderate energy level – I  enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring at a comfortable pace, then settling down quietly once I’ve had my fun. Walks are something I generally do very well with—I stay nicely connected to my person and move calmly on leash. Busy roads and sudden loud noises can still make me uneasy, though, and unexpected movement may startle me enough to want to move away quickly. In calmer environments, I’m able to relax much more easily and enjoy our time together with confidence.   TRAINING & HABITS I’m gentle and trusting with people around my food and feel comfortable sharing space during mealtimes. Around other dogs, I prefer having a little personal space while eating and may quietly communicate that boundary if another dog comes too close. I’ll use my voice from time to time to let you know when I want something I settle calmly and do well in a kennel. I’m adaptable with my routine, comfortably using both indoor pads and outdoor bathroom breaks depending on the situation.   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 Other dogs bring me a lot of comfort, and I absolutely love playing and spending time with dog friends. Having a calm, social dog companion in the home could help me settle in more quickly and feel reassured. I’m still learning how to feel fully secure in the world, so I would do best with a patient family who understands sensitive rescue dogs and can give me time, routine, and gentle reassurance.    CHURI'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2736170##
