Sandeul (20260412-01)

My story

WEACT rushed to the site after receiving shocking reports of a dog struggling just to take a step, burdened by a tumor as large as a rock. The massive tumor dragged along the dirt every time the dog moved, causing open wounds and making even basic activities, like relieving itself, extremely difficult. But that wasnt all. Hidden deep in the backyard, beneath the shade of trees where sunlight barely reached, there was a wooden box. Inside, terrified puppies only about six months old were huddled together, trembling in fear and surrounded by their own waste. Sandeul was one of those puppies.WEACT was able to rescue all eight dogs from the site, including Sandeul, an adult dog with a bowling ball sized tumor, and several other dogs who had been chained around the yard. Sandeul spent his puppyhood locked inside a dark wooden box, barely seeing any light. Because of this, humans are still unfamiliar and sometimes frightening to him. However, he plays well with other dogs and observes the world with curious eyes.With his puppy spirit, he is slowly overcoming his fears one day at a time. He is especially adorable when he is fully focused on chewing his teething toys. Sandeul would thrive in a home that can offer a variety of activities to help him release his abundant energy. If there is a people-friendly dog at home, he can be a wonderful role model and help Sandeul adjust more easily.Just like his name, Sandeul, which means a gentle breeze in the air, we picture him as a beloved family member on a warm spring day. We are waiting for the family who will become Sandeuls spring. Name: Sandeul (20260412-01)Weight: 37lbsAge: 10 months (Est.
