Soyeon (20261005-03)

My story

WEACT received a report about dogs whose lives have been ignored for five years in the beautiful island of Jeju and rushed to the illegal dog farm. What was found was a heartbreaking scene. The farm, operated by the owner of a well-known restaurant, was overflowing with mountains of garbage, filth, and cockroaches. Seven dogs were confined in small cages. WEACT could no longer turn away from these dogs. They determined to restore the simple rights they should always have had: clean food, a warm place to sleep, and a life filled with care. Soyeon was one of those dogs. Overall, Soyeon is a smart, affectionate, playful, and well-balanced dog. She learns quickly, understands people well, and naturally picks up commands and cues with very little repetition. She enjoys playtime and showing affection but also knows how to settle down and be patient when needed. Soyeon is expressive about her feelings and communicates clearly when she is uncomfortable, so she would do best with a family that respects her boundaries and pays attention to her cues. She can live happily in an apartment or house as long as she has a loving, comfortable home and opportunities for outdoor adventures. Spend a little time with her, and before long, she will happily come over to show you her adorable personality. Nevertheless, Soyeon does have some clear preferences when it comes to physical touch. She enjoys being touched on areas she finds comfortable, such as her head and body, but she does not like having sensitive areas, such as her rear end or hind legs, being touched. When Soyeon feels uncomfortable, she will let a growl to let the person know she doesn't like it. This does not mean that she refuses all necessary handling. When something is important, such as brushing or grooming, she may be uncomfortable but will patiently tolerate it, showing a surprisingly mature side. She is a girl who communicates her feelings with honesty. If living with another dog, a calm, friendly companion who can match her playful energy while giving her time to build a relationship would be ideal.

However, sometimes her excitement can be overwhelming to another dog so she may occasionally miss the other dog's signal to stop playing.
