Baekji

My story

Meet Baekji! Baekji was found wandering around a field and taken to a city shelter. After a year with no family coming to claim him, he was placed on the euthanasia list. When rescued, Baekji was so weak and thin that he could barely walk, but he has since regained his health and is now waiting for a loving family. Baekji loves people and is friendly with everyone, regardless of age, prefers human companionship over being with other dogs. While he doesn’t engage in play with other dogs, he enjoys calmly sniffing and greeting them. He tends to feel overwhelmed by overly energetic dogs, and even when he was attacked by another dog in the past, he did not fight back—he is truly a gentle soul. At the shelter, Baekji walked calmly on a leash. However, in his current foster home, he is showing some leash pulling, likely due to the new environment. He is improving quickly with training but will need continued practice. He is currently undergoing kennel training and was initially fearful of being brushed, but he is gradually becoming more comfortable with it. He dislikes having his right hind leg touched, but if given a signal beforehand and approached gently, he remains calm. Baekji loves food and eats well without being picky. However, he tends to swallow treats without chewing, so small treats or soft snacks like Churu Dog Treats are recommended. While he has no major health issues, he does need a dental scaling. He prefers outdoor potty breaks and, when left alone at home, may bark briefly at first but soon settles down near the door and takes a nap. Baekji is a sweet, calm, and reliable companion, fully ready to be loved. Could you be the family he’s been waiting for? 💕
