Morning

My story

QUICK FACTS Name: Morning Age: 2 Years and 3 months Old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Labrador, Jindo Mix Color: White Weight: 13kg / 28.6 lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY Hi there! My name is Morning, and just like the sunrise, I represent a brand-new beginning. I was rescued from the euthanasia list at a city pound, given a second chance when things looked so dark. Back in March, I thought I had found my forever family, but sadly, they didn’t fully understand my sensitive, skittish nature or feel prepared to support me through my heartworm treatment. Luckily, I didn’t lose hope because a kind and patient foster family opened their home and hearts to me. With their love and care, I’ve truly begun to blossom. These days, I’m so much brighter, happier, and ready to keep shining even more in my journey to find a forever family who will cherish me for who I am.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Spayed & healthy with no known health issues    MY PERSONALITY I’m a sweet, gentle, and affectionate girl with a soft heart. Once I feel safe, I love being close to my person and have recently started asking for pets with adorable little nose nudges. My personality is really starting to shine. I can be playful, a little goofy, and quite intelligent. I love being near my people and feel most comfortable when I can keep them in sight, especially in new environments.    MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I can be shy when meeting new people, but I’ve made amazing progress. Instead of running away, I now show curiosity and will approach to observe. I’ve even come close to taking treats from new people! With patience and a calm approach, I continue to build trust and confidence. · With Dogs: I get along well with other dogs and have recently started approaching calm, gentle dogs on my own. I enjoy their company and sometimes follow them, but I’m also gaining confidence to explore independently. · With Cats: I don’t have much experience yet, but with my gentle nature, I’m likely to do well with slow and proper introductions.    ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate energy level. I enjoy my walks and have become much more relaxed—I now look around, take things in, and even “smile” while exploring. I LOVE my ball! I don’t always need to fetch and I’m happiest just carrying it around, playing on my own, and being silly.    TRAINING & HABITS I’m a very well-mannered girl at home. I don’t get into food, counters, or garbage—even when left alone. I can be trusted in the house and do very well when home alone. The only thing I might do is shred paper or cardboard if it’s within reach. I may alert bark when I hear noises in the hallway, but I respond well to gentle redirection and am already improving. I’m also gaining confidence in new environments—recently, I even started taking treats in the elevator, which is a big step for me! Car rides can be a bit challenging for me. I’ve experienced motion sickness before, so it’s best if I travel on an empty stomach. I may drool during rides, but this is improving—a recent short trip had no drooling at all! For longer trips, a vet-recommended motion aid (like Gravol) may help. With continued positive experiences, I’m expected to get more comfortable over time. I’ve only been off-leash in fully fenced areas. I have very low prey drive and tend to stay close to my person. With proper recall training, I have great potential for safe off-leash time.    MY IDEAL HOME  I’m looking for a patient and understanding family who will let me adjust at my own pace. I can do well as the only pet, but I would truly thrive in a home with a friendly, calm, and confident dog who can help guide me and build my confidence. A quieter home or one that respects my sensitive nature would be perfect for me.    SPECIAL NOTES  My previous adoption didn’t work out because I was rushed before I was ready—I had only been there for 7 weeks. I’m a dog who needs time, but I promise I’m worth it. I’ve already made incredible progress in foster care. I’m braver, more curious, and more affectionate every day. With love, patience, and understanding, I will blossom into an incredibly loyal, gentle, and loving companion.    MORNING'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2533937##
