My story

QUICK FACTS Name: KoyaAge: 4 months oldBreed: Terrier MixGender: Female, SpayedWeight: 8 kg / 17.6 lbsColor: White Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY My story began when I was just a tiny newborn puppy. I was found without my mom when I was so young that my eyes hadn’t even opened yet. I was taken to the Miryang City Shelter, where I was far too young to survive on my own. Thankfully, I was rescued and lovingly raised by Momo, who cared for me during those very important early weeks of my life. Despite my difficult beginning, I’ve grown into an incredibly happy, affectionate, and people-loving puppy. Now I’m ready for the next chapter of my story—a forever family of my very own!   MY HEALTH Spayed Vaccinations up-to-date No known health concerns   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I’m Koya! I’m a bright, affectionate, and cheerful little girl who absolutely loves people. I’m the kind of puppy who can meet someone for the first time and already decide that we should be friends! I happily approach new people, enjoy being touched and cuddled, and may even greet you with puppy kisses. Sometimes I’ll roll over and show my belly to someone I’ve just met—that’s how comfortable and affectionate I can be with people. I’m also perfectly comfortable being gently picked up and held. My fluffy white coat is one of my cutest features. People say I look a little like a fluffy dandelion seed bouncing around as I explore the world. I can be playful and a little silly, and I have plenty of puppy charm to make everyone around me smile. I’m curious, affectionate, and full of life, but I also know how to settle down after having fun. Wherever I go, I have a way of winning people over.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I’m extremely friendly and affectionate! I happily approach both familiar people and strangers and enjoy attention, cuddles, and affection. I’ve even been known to give kisses to people I’ve just met. · With Children: I haven’t had experience with children under 13 yet, so my interactions with younger children are still unknown. As with any young puppy, gentle and supervised introductions would be best. · With Dogs: I’m very social with other dogs. I’m comfortable approaching both dogs I know and dogs I’ve just met to say hello and invite them to play. If another dog becomes too pushy or confrontational, I’m more likely to move away than challenge them. · With Cats: I haven’t had enough experience around cats yet for us to know how I would behave living with one. A slow and supervised introduction would be important.   MY ENERGY LEVEL I have a moderate energy level and a nice balance between playtime and rest. I enjoy being outside, exploring, playing, and experiencing new things like a typical young puppy. Once I’ve had some activity, though, I’m able to settle down and relax. Since I’m only four months old, I’m still growing and learning, so my exercise needs and personality may continue to develop as I get older.   MY WALKING SKILLS I’m currently learning how to walk nicely on a leash. I may pull because everything outside is still new and exciting to me, but overall, I follow my person well. I’m young and still learning what’s expected of me, so continued positive leash training will help me become an even better walking companion. There are so many things in the world I haven’t experienced yet, and I’m excited to learn about them with my future family!   MY HOME LIFE & MANNERS For such a young puppy, I’m already showing some wonderful qualities. I’m generally very quiet and rarely bark. I also settle calmly when I’m in a kennel, which is a great foundation for continuing crate training in my new home. I currently use both indoor pee pads and outdoor potty areas. Since I’m still a puppy, my future family should expect to continue helping me build a consistent potty routine as I adjust to my new home. I also show no food guarding toward people or other dogs.   WHAT I’M STILL LEARNING Remember, I’m only four months old! That means I’m still discovering the world and learning all the things that come with being a family dog. Leash manners, household routines, potty habits, and new environments are all things I’ll continue working on as I grow. I already have a wonderful social and affectionate nature, and with patient, positive guidance, I have so much potential to grow into an amazing companion.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m still young and adaptable, so I could potentially thrive in many different types of families. What matters most is finding people who understand that adopting a puppy means growing together. I’d love a family who will continue my training, introduce me positively to new experiences, give me appropriate exercise and playtime, and—of course—give me plenty of affection. I’m naturally social and enjoy other dogs, so a canine sibling could potentially be a great match too. Most of all, I’m looking for someone who wants me to be part of their life as I grow from this fluffy little puppy into the wonderful adult dog I’m going to become.   WHY YOU’LL LOVE ME I may have entered this world without my mom by my side, but that hasn’t stopped me from becoming a puppy who has so much love to give. I’m friendly, affectionate, playful, and incredibly open to people. I’ll happily come over to say hello, give you kisses, roll over for some love, and then bounce off to see what exciting thing is happening next. With my fluffy white fur, cheerful personality, and affectionate little heart, I seem to make friends wherever I go. I’ve already come such a long way from the tiny puppy who arrived at the shelter before her eyes had even opened. Now I just need one more thing: A family to grow up with.   KOYA’S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt:  https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2854380##
