Meet Marong, a one-year-old Jindo mix with a beautiful white coat and a heart full of love! Weighing in at 16kg, he’s a friendly and affectionate pup who enjoys meeting new people. While he’ll happily approach strangers on his own terms, he’s more comfortable with those he knows well. If he has a favorite person nearby, he tends to stick close to them for reassurance. He’s naturally a bit cautious, so while he may come up to say hello, he’ll shy away if someone tries to grab him. However, given a little time to build trust, he’ll soon be rolling over for belly rubs—and even letting you scoop him up for a cuddle! Marong is gentle with children, but sudden movements and loud noises can make him uneasy. When it comes to other dogs, Marong is still learning his social manners. His playful energy can be a bit much for smaller or shyer dogs, as he loves to chase them when they run away. If another dog barks at him, he’s more likely to bark back out of nervousness rather than aggression. While he gets along well with friendly dogs, he’s not a fan of overly pushy or intimidating ones, so introductions should be done thoughtfully. He tends to prefer one-on-one play over large group interactions and would do just fine as an only dog—especially since he adores human companionship. Marong barks at cat on walks, often raising his hackles when he’s nervous. But no aggression. He has a moderate energy level, enjoying outdoor adventures but also knowing when to settle down and relax afterward. On walks, he has a slight tendency to pull but listens well and is manageable on the leash. He’s most comfortable in quiet areas but can get nervous around heavy traffic. Since Marong is deeply attached to his people, he may howl when left alone in a new environment. When he first arrived at our centre, he howled in his kennel but has since learned to settle in and rest on his own. He’s an adaptable pup who just needs a little time to adjust to change. He’s also food-motivated but does not guard his meals, and he’s mostly used to doing his business outdoors. Marong’s rescue story is as heartwarming as he is—he was found on a mountain, running after someone who had likely abandoned him. A kind veterinary technician took him in, and their clinic’s head vet ensured he was neutered and vaccinated. Unfortunately, his rescuer had to move to Hungary, so Marong found his way to our adoption center, where he’s waiting for a loving forever home. Could that be you?
