Xia Bao

My story

QUICK FACTS Name: Xia Bao Age: 1 year old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Mini Jindo mix Color: White Weight: 13kg / 28.6lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from a city pound after ending up on the euthanasia list through no fault of my own. Thankfully, a rescue stepped in and gave me the second chance every dog deserves. Since then, I've been learning that life can be full of kindness, love, and new adventures. Now, I'm ready to find a forever family who will cherish me, grow with me, and make happy memories together for years to come.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY I'm even smaller and cuter in person! I absolutely love treats and they are a great way to win my heart. I'm a smart girl too—I already know how to sit and will happily show off my skills when treats are involved. While I may be a little shy at first, I warm up quickly and adapt well to new people and environments. Once I feel comfortable, my affectionate personality really shines. I love being close to my people and will happily follow you around, hoping for pets, attention, and companionship. If you're looking for a sweet, loving shadow to keep you company, I might just be your perfect match.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: While I'm initially a little shy when meeting new people, I warm up quickly—especially if treats are involved! Treats are a wonderful way to earn my trust, and once I feel comfortable, my affectionate personality shines through. I allow myself to be picked up and will even roll over to show my belly when I feel safe and relaxed. I tend to bond a little faster with women, but with patience, kindness, and a few tasty treats, I can build strong relationships with anyone. Once you've earned my trust, I'll happily follow you around and enjoy all the affection and attention you have to offer. · With Dogs: I get along very well with my dog friends and enjoy playing, socializing, and spending time with them. Having other dogs around helps me feel comfortable, and I often look to my canine friends for reassurance and emotional support. Because of this, I may do especially well in a home with a friendly, well-balanced dog companion. While I'm a sweet and gentle girl, I'm not a pushover. As I've grown, I've learned how to stand up for myself when another dog is being overly pushy or rude. I communicate appropriately and am able to set boundaries when needed. Overall, I'm a friendly, social dog who enjoys the company of other dogs while also having the confidence to advocate for myself. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown. A cat test can be arranged upon request to ensure the best fit.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate energy level. I enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring, and having fun, but once I’ve had my activity and excitement, I’m more than happy to come inside and relax comfortably indoors.   TRAINING & HABITS I'm still learning my leash manners and can occasionally pull when I'm excited or curious, but overall I follow my handler's lead nicely and am eager to learn. I have excellent manners around food and do not guard my meals from people or other dogs. While I may bark occasionally when I want attention, I'm generally a quiet and well-mannered girl. I know how to settle and rest calmly in my kennel when it's time to relax. For potty habits, I can use both pee pads indoors and go potty outdoors, giving my future family a great foundation to build on. As a young dog, I'm continuing to learn every day and will thrive with consistency, guidance, and love.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m searching 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 will provide me with a safe haven – where I can decompress, be myself in a stable environment • A family that understands my past and is patient with me throughout • A family that enjoys indoor and outdoor time together • A family that will love and cherish me forever   SPECIAL NOTES I may not be the loudest dog in the room, but I have a quiet charm that wins people over. Once I feel comfortable, my affectionate and loving personality shines through. I enjoy being close to my people, receiving attention, and simply spending time with those I trust. I'm still young and have so much potential ahead of me. Every day, I'm learning, growing, and becoming more confident. With a loving forever family by my side, I know I'll continue to blossom into a wonderful companion who will fill your home with love, loyalty, and plenty of happy memories.   XIA BAO'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.co ##2755823##
