Saena

My story

Quick Facts Name: Saena Age: 7 months old   Gender: Female Neutered/Spayed: Yes Breed: Jindo Mix  Color: White  Weight: 10kg    All About Me Hi, I’m Saena! I’m a seven-month-old Jindo mix with a soft white coat and a gentle, thoughtful personality. Weighing 10kg (22lb), I’m still growing into my full size, but my heart is already full of love. My journey hasn’t been the easiest—I’ve had to learn how to trust people, and while I’m making great progress, I’m still looking for a patient and understanding family to help me fully come out of my shell.   My Personality I am naturally a little cautious around new people, but I warm up quickly. If you give me about 30 minutes to observe and feel safe, I will start showing my affectionate and playful side. Once I decide you’re a friend, I like to lean against you for comfort and enjoy gentle pets. I bond deeply with the people I trust. If my favorite person leaves the room, I may whimper and look for them, but I am learning to feel more secure even when I’m alone. Over time, I’ll continue to gain confidence and independence with the right guidance.   Social Skills I am polite and neutral with other dogs. I will say hello when meeting a new dog, but I don’t always engage in play. I tend to feel more secure when another dog is around, as I like to observe and follow their lead. If my new home has a friendly and calm dog, it might help me adjust more easily. I haven’t met cats yet, so my reaction to them is unknown.   Energy and Activities I have a moderate energy level. I enjoy getting outside for walks and movement, but I also know how to settle and relax afterward. I walk well on a leash but can sometimes pull when I’m excited or nervous. New environments can be a little overwhelming for me at first, so I appreciate a calm handler who reassures me.   Training and Habits I do not guard my food from people or other dogs, and I have good manners during meal times. I am mostly house-trained and prefer to go to the bathroom outside. I haven’t had much experience with indoor pee pads, so I may need a little patience if I need to learn a new setu. I am quiet by nature and don’t bark often. I am still learning to be comfortable in cars. Right now, I don’t like getting in on my own and need to be gently lifted. I also tend to drool a lot during car rides, which may be due to motion sickness. Short trips with positive reinforcement can help me feel more at ease over time.   My Ideal Home I need a family that understands shy and cautious dogs. I take a little time to feel safe in new environments, but once I do, I form deep and loyal bonds. My future family should be patient and willing to give me space to adjust rather than rushing me into new situations.  A home with another gentle and confident dog would be ideal, as I tend to feel more secure when I have a canine companion to follow. However, I can also do well as the only dog if my family is committed to helping me build confidence. Because I attach strongly to my person, a home where I won’t be left alone for long hours would be the best fit.   Special Notes I am a sweet, sensitive, and loving young dog with so much potential. With the right support, I will continue to grow into a confident and devoted companion. If you are looking for a gentle and loyal friend who will form an unbreakable bond with you, I just might be the perfect match.   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab8v5V4uCzs&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JzdnTA5_mOXTzY_t6En_Bhp ##2336679##
