Maju (20260512-07)

My story

WEACT received a report about a mother dog with peeling skin scavenging through trash cans to feed her puppies. We rushed to the scene, but by the time we arrived, the mother had already disappeared, and only her puppies had been taken to the city shelter.Fortunately, we were able to take the puppies into our care, but we couldn't give up on the mother dog and her adult daughter still wandering the streets. Their deep wariness from years of street life made rescue difficult, but after countless attempts, we were able to rescue the mother. Soon after, her pregnant daughter also came into WEACT's care. WEACT gave the daughter the name Yewon, and one of Yewon's puppies received the name Maju.Overall, Maju is a confident and fearless puppy who approaches the world with curiosity and ease, even in unfamiliar environments. Despite her size, she has a big presence and happily plays with dogs much larger than herself. She is affectionate and engaging. When called sweetly, she comes running with a wagging tail, eager to connect. At the same time, she has an adorable independent side. When she is focused on an interesting scent or enjoying a treat, she may pretend not to hear you. This charming balance makes her especially lovable.Maju is looking for a family to provide safe and steady support as she continues to explore and learn about the world. As she is in an important puppy stage, she will benefit from ongoing training, structure, and patient guidance, along with plenty of affection and encouragement. Maju can thrive in a variety of home environments, with or without another dog. If there is a resident dog, a gentle and patient companion who is comfortable around puppies would be a wonderful match. Most importantly, she is waiting for a family who will grow with her, sharing everyday moments and new experiences together.
