Ivan

My story

QUICK FACTS  · Name: Ivan · Age: 5 months · Gender: Male (Neutering: Scheduled soon) · Breed: Korean Donggyeong (short-tailed, very smart) · Color: Cream · Weight: 6 kg / 13 lbs Fully Vaccinated, Microchipped, and Dewormed.   MY RESCUE STORY When I arrived at the Miryang City Shelter, my siblings were with me, but they were all put down. I was the only one who survived.   MY HEALTH We will be updated soon.   MY PERSONALITY I’m very smart and curious, even as a puppy. I can be a little shy at first, but I warm up quickly once I trust you. I like showing leadership around other dogs and enjoy playing with toys. I can be a bit greedy with treats, but I’m affectionate and love attention. I still need some basic training for walks and manners, since I’m young.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I’m very affectionate and love approaching not only people I know but also strangers. I enjoy being petted and let people touch me easily. I get along really well with children under 13. Once I trust you, I’ll even show you my belly. · With Dogs: I’m very sociable and like approaching not only dogs I know but also new dogs to say hello and play. I generally get along well with dogs that are bigger than me, similar in size, or smaller than me. · With Cats: I don’t know much about cats yet.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate energy level and enjoy outdoor activities, but I rest calmly afterward. I’m still a puppy, so I need some leash training during walks.   TRAINING & HABITS I don’t guard my food from people or other dogs. I rarely bark. I stay calm in a kennel. I can go potty both on indoor pads and outdoors.   MY IDEAL HOME I’d do best in a home where I can get gentle guidance and consistent training. I would love a family that can give me plenty of playtime, attention, and love, while also helping me learn manners. I’d thrive in a home where I can explore safely, socialize with other dogs, and be part of a warm, caring family.   SPECIAL NOTES Even though I’m still a puppy, I’m very smart. I have the traits of a Donggyeong dog — a short tail and clever mind. I can make eye contact and, though I’m a little shy at first, I warm up quickly. I can be a little greedy when eating treats and sometimes like to show leadership around other dogs. I love playing with toys! I’m a Level 2 rescue dog. Since I’m still a puppy, I need some extra training for walks and basic manners. All my baby teeth have fallen out and my adult teeth are in, so I’ll be ready for adoption right after neutering.   Ivan's YouTube Playlist   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2572776##
