Yewon

My story

QUICK FACTS Name: Yewon Age: Estimated to be born in September 2026 (Around 8 months old) Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Border Collie, Jindo mix Color: Black & Brown Weight:  11 kg / 24.2 lbs – Expected to be around 13kg / 28lbs once fully grown Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY My past isn’t fully known, but it appears that I was involved in a terrible car accident when I was only around three months old. I arrived at a crowded city pound severely injured and, although I received some initial treatment, the shelter’s limited resources meant I wasn’t able to receive all the care I needed. I was eventually adopted, but sadly, my new beginning didn’t last. About a week later, I was shaved and abandoned back at the city pound once again. By then, my health was deteriorating, and there was concern that my injuries could permanently affect the use of my back legs. Thankfully, rescuers heard about my situation and stepped in before it was too late. Welcome Dog Korea brought me to safety, and I’m now receiving the medical care, love, and attention I needed all along. After such a difficult start to life, I finally have the chance to heal and look forward to a much brighter future.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Healthy with no known health issues Underwent joint fusion surgery on the left hind leg & part of my right hind leg had to be amputated. I don’t let this stop me from living my life! I run around and have no issues living my life to the fullest   MY PERSONALITY I’m an adorable, friendly girl who loves both people and dogs! Despite everything I’ve been through, I’m still incredibly trusting and haven’t let my past or my hind legs stop me from enjoying life to the fullest. I can be a little more comfortable with women than men at first, but it doesn’t take me long to warm up and show my sweet, affectionate personality. I also have a great appetite and am very food-motivated, which makes me eager to learn and excited to work for tasty treats!   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I’m friendly with people and enjoy greeting new friends and receiving plenty of pets and affection! I can be a teeny bit shy at first, and as I’m going through my adolescent phase, I may be a little more cautious around men when we first meet. The good news is that I warm up very quickly! Give me some tasty treats and a little time, and within an hour or two, I’ll usually start showing you my sweet and affectionate side. · With Dogs: I’m friendly with my dog friends and love having fun and playing together! I generally get along best with dogs around my size or smaller. Very high-energy dogs can be a little overwhelming for me and I may need some time to feel comfortable around them. Due to my hind legs, I can also get pushed around more easily during rough or energetic play, so calmer and respectful playmates are the best match for me. I’m a peacekeeper at heart and prefer to avoid conflict whenever possible. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown. During walks I look at them with curiosity but then lose my interest and continue my way.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate energy level. I enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring, and having fun, but once I’ve had my activity and excitement, I’m more than happy to come inside and relax comfortably indoors.   TRAINING & HABITS I walk nicely on leash and follow my handler’s lead well. I’ve had lots of opportunities to practice my walking skills while growing up at the care facility, so I’ve become a great little walking companion! I also have good manners around food and don’t guard my meals or treats from either people or other dogs. I may bark when I’m looking for attention, but I know how to settle down and rest calmly in my kennel. For potty habits, I currently go both indoors using pee pads and outdoors. I also rely quite a bit on my dog friends for emotional comfort and reassurance. Having a calm, gentle dog sibling in my forever home could help me feel more secure and confident as I adjust to my new life.   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 • I’m looking for a family who understands my hind legs condition and is willing to provide the care and support I may need. My legs don’t stop me from enjoying everyday life, but I’ll need some extra monitoring during more physically demanding activities like hiking.   SPECIAL NOTES I’m a super sweet and gentle girl with model good looks to match! With my beautiful features, expressive eyes, and naturally photogenic face, I have a way of charming everyone I meet. I definitely give off those Border Collie vibes too. I’m smart, focused, observant, and eager to learn, especially when tasty treats are involved! Despite everything I’ve been through, I have such a bright spirit and love making the most of every day. Give me a little love and encouragement, and I’ll happily show you just how clever, affectionate, and special I am.    YEWON'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2849687##
