Sunchip

My story

ALL ABOUT ME  Name: Sunchip Age: 3 years old Gender: Male Spayed/Neutered: Yes Breed: Jindo corgi mix Colour: White Weight: 8kg / 17.6lbs Microchipped: Yes   MY RESCUE STORY Hi there! My name is Sunchip, and I’m one of the lucky ones. I was once placed on the euthanasia list at a crowded city pound, simply because there wasn’t enough space for me. Thankfully, kind rescuers stepped in just in time and gave me a second chance at life. Now, with a new lease on life and so much love to give, I’m ready to find my forever family who will cherish me the way I’ve always dreamed of.   MY HEALTH Fully vaccinated (5-round series complete) I’ve been spayed and have no known health issues.   MY PERSONALITY When you meet me, you’ll quickly see why I got the name Sunchip—my cute, chip-shaped ears are my signature look! I’m a cheerful, friendly boy who loves nothing more than soaking up human attention and affection. I also enjoy the company of other dogs and make friends easily. I seem to have lived in a home before, because I already have nice house manners and walk politely on leash. With my sweet personality and adorable ears, I’m ready to brighten your life like a little ray of sunshine!   MY SOCIAL SKILLS With People: I’m a super friendly boy who absolutely adores people! Nothing makes me happier than getting attention, pets, and of course, tasty treats. I have a soft spot for kids and do well with gentle hands that know how to show love. You can easily scoop me up for cuddles, and once I feel comfortable, I’ll happily roll over to show you my belly. I’m also very polite around food—I never guard it from people. With my sweet, affectionate nature, I’m ready to be the perfect family companion!   With Dogs:  I get along well with other dogs here at the care facility, though I usually prefer to do my own thing and enjoy a little independence. I’m polite around food and don’t guard it from other dogs. I tend to do best with pups my size or smaller, and even if another dog is a bit rude, I’d rather calmly walk away than cause a fuss. It can take me a little time to jump into play, but once I feel comfortable, I’m happy to make new friends at my own pace.   With Cats:  I haven’t had the chance to meet any cats yet, so my reaction is still a bit of a mystery. But with my calm and friendly nature, I believe I could do well in a cat-savvy home with thoughtful, slow introductions and a family who can guide me gently.   ENERGY AND ACTIVITIES I have a nice, balanced energy level. I love spending time outdoors exploring and enjoying fresh air, but I’m just as happy to come inside, snuggle up, and be your cozy little couch potato. With me, you’ll get the best of both worlds—fun adventures and sweet relaxation!   TRAINING & HABITS I walk nicely on leash and usually follow my handler’s lead without much pulling. Sometimes I’ll bark if I want your attention, just to remind you I’m there! I’m still working on my kennel training and might whine a little at first, but I’m learning. I know how to potty both indoors and outdoors, though I do best with a consistent routine. Because I’m clever and curious, I have a tendency to slip through small cracks in doors—so it’s very important I’m always kept in a secure, enclosed environment or double-leashed with both a harness and collar for safety. Staff and volunteers say I’m calm and relaxed indoors, but once I’m outside, I love to stretch my legs and show off how fast I can run—you’ll be amazed at my speed!   MY IDEAL HOME I’m looking for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: A family that offers a safe, structured, and calm environment. A family that enjoys spending quality time together indoors & outdoors. A family that can shower me with love and attention. A family who understands my escape tendencies and will be extra watchful when I’m outside. I should always be kept securely leashed or only allowed off-leash in a safely fenced area.     SPECIAL NOTES I’m super cute, sweet, and completely adorable! I just know the right family is out there for me, and I can’t wait to show you how affectionate I can be once I’m with my people. Since I seem to have some experience living in a home before, staff and volunteers are confident I’ll adjust quickly to my new family life. I absolutely love going on walks and even do a little happy hop dance when I see the leash—it’s one of my favorite parts of the day! I get along well with other dogs, though I’m a bit more on the introverted side. I don’t always jump straight into play, but I enjoy observing and am perfectly comfortable sharing space with my dog friends. My future family should be mindful of my clever escape tendencies and take extra care when opening or closing doors, since I may try to dash out. With a little watchfulness and a lot of love, I’ll be the sweetest companion you could ask for! ##2515221##
