Haengbok

My story

Hi, my name is Haengbok 🐾 It means “happiness” in Korean — and while I may not feel fully happy just yet, I know my forever family will help me get there. I’m a 3-year-old Jindo girl with a gentle soul and a loving heart. I can be a little shy when we first meet, but if you show me patience and kindness, I’ll trust you quickly — sometimes in just a few hours. Once I do, I absolutely love cuddles, pets, and being close to my people. I was rescued by the director of Dream Tails when I was just a young pup. Back then, I wasn’t ready to find my forever home — I needed time to grow, learn, and feel safe. With the help of my trainers, I’ve opened my heart and shown everyone what a truly affectionate and loyal dog I am. I’m just waiting for someone who will understand me and love me for who I am. I get along very well with other dogs, but mealtime can make me a bit sensitive. With continued training, consistency, and reassurance, I’ll learn that everything is okay and that I don’t have to worry anymore. I do have some fears, and I might get startled by unexpected things on walks. I can walk on a leash, and with the support of a calm, loving human by my side, I know I can overcome these worries. All I need is someone willing to walk this journey with me. I’m a sweet, gentle, almost-fully-happy girl — waiting for my forever parents to help me complete my story. Will you be the one to make my name come true?
