Saffy

My story

QUICK FACTS Name: Saffy Age: About 2 Years Old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Dobermann – Jindo Mix Color: Black and Tan Weight: 15kg / 33lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued after spending my days neglected in the countryside, confined to a short one-metre chain. My world may have once been very small, but thanks to my rescue, I've been given the chance to discover a life filled with kindness, freedom, and care. Now I'm looking forward to finding a loving forever family and beginning a new chapter filled with happy adventures and wonderful memories.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Spayed & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I'm Saffy! I'm a sweet, gentle girl with a loving heart and an adorably expressive personality. I inherited my mother’s striking good looks—including my beautiful pointed ears and distinctive build. I absolutely love people, although I'm still getting used to being touched and handled, so I may need a little time to understand that all those cuddles are meant just for me! When someone first approaches, I sometimes flatten myself to the ground because I'm not quite sure what to expect. And if you suddenly try to pick me up, I may let out my most dramatic little “Shiba scream” in surprise! But the funny part is that once I'm actually in your arms, I settle right in and become the sweetest little cuddle bug. I need a little bit of time to become comfortable with someone new, and once I know you're safe, my gentle and affectionate personality begins to shine. I'm a charming mix of Jindo sensibility and Shiba-style drama, which makes me an endlessly lovable and entertaining companion. With a little patience and plenty of positive experiences, I'm sure to become even more confident with human affection. If you're looking for a sweet girl whose trust is incredibly rewarding to earn—and who might make you laugh along the way—I'd love to meet you!   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I can be a little shy at first in some situations, but treats quickly help me feel comfortable, and it usually doesn't take long before I'm happy to be touched! I may even approach someone I've just met to lean against them and enjoy some gentle pets. I even roll over and show my belly to someone I've just met! I can be gently picked up when needed, although being carried doesn't seem to be my favorite thing, so I appreciate having my paws on the ground whenever possible. · With Dogs: I'm polite when meeting unfamiliar dogs and may approach them to say hello, although I'm usually not interested in playing together. Larger dogs can sometimes make me feel nervous or uncomfortable, so I appreciate calm and respectful introductions. Even if another dog tries to provoke me, I prefer to walk away and avoid conflict whenever possible. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown but when I see cats while we're out on a walk, I tend to stay focused on my person rather than paying much attention to them.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have low energy level – I enjoy taking life at a relaxed pace. After spending some time outdoors, I'm happiest settling down for a peaceful rest. I'm an experienced walker with excellent leash manners—I don't pull and naturally follow my person, making me a wonderful companion for calm, leisurely walks.   TRAINING & HABITS I'm easygoing around food and don't feel the need to guard it from people or other dogs. I'm generally a very quiet companion who rarely barks, although I may use a little demand barking when there's something I really want. I stay calm and relaxed in my kennel When it comes to car rides, I can hop out on my own but need a little help being lifted into the car. I'm flexible with my potty habits and can use indoor pee pads as well as go outside for bathroom breaks.   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    SAFFY'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2794117##
