Eeyu

My story

QUICK FACTS Name: Eeyu Age: 4 years old (Born April 2022) Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Chihuahua/Jindo mix Color: Light Brown Weight:  5.8kg / 12.8lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from an animal hoarding situation where I was living alongside many other animals without the individual care and attention every dog deserves. Thankfully, rescuers stepped in and brought me to safety, giving me the chance to leave that difficult environment behind. Now I’m ready for a fresh start and a forever family where I can finally experience what it means to be truly loved, cared for, and cherished as part of the family.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date I had a history of seizures from April to August 2023 and was treated with oral medication. Since I remained healthy and symptom-free, the medication was discontinued. In November 2025, I experienced one seizure lasting less than five minutes. Thankfully, I have not experienced any additional seizures or related symptoms since then.   MY PERSONALITY I’m super cute and even tinier in person! I can be a little shy when we first meet and may try to keep my distance while I figure out whether I’m safe. Gentle approaches and letting me move at my own pace are the best ways to earn my trust, and tasty treats definitely help! The good news is that I warm up pretty quickly. Give me about 30 minutes, some patience, and a few yummy treats, and I’ll start coming to you for pets and affection. During my profile photoshoot, I did so well and, once I felt comfortable, I kept rubbing my little body against everyone asking for more pets!   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I’m a little shy when we first meet and need some time to feel safe and comfortable. Tasty treats are definitely the way to my heart, and with a little patience, I usually warm up pretty quickly! I know I’m super tiny and cute, so it can be hard to resist picking me up right away, but sudden approaches can make me nervous. Let me get to know and trust you first, and once I feel safe, you’ll get to see my sweet and affectionate side. · With Dogs: I’m friendly with my dog friends and get along especially well with dogs who have a similar energy level. I also do well sharing my space with the other dogs at the care facility. While I’m friendly, I’m not afraid to stand my ground if another dog is being pushy or rude. Thoughtful introductions and some supervision in the beginning will help everyone get comfortable and set us up for a happy relationship. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a high energy level and love spending time outdoors, exploring, and staying active! Once I’ve had enough exercise and excitement, I’m also happy to head indoors and relax comfortably. In new environments, I may pace around as I take everything in and can sometimes have a hard time staying focused because I’m eager to keep moving and exploring. With time, a consistent routine, and plenty of appropriate outlets for my energy, I should become more comfortable settling into my surroundings.   TRAINING & HABITS I walk nicely on leash and follow my handler’s lead well. I also have good manners around food and don’t guard my meals or treats from either people or other dogs. I know how to settle calmly in my kennel and can get in and out of the car on my own. I may shake a little during car rides because I’m still getting used to them, but overall I stay calm. With more positive exposure and practice, I should become more comfortable travelling in the car. For potty habits, I currently go both indoors using pee pads and outdoors.   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 • Understanding of my shy nature and willing to be patient while I come out of my shell   SPECIAL NOTES I may be tiny, but I have a big personality packed into my little body! I’m an energetic, curious girl who loves exploring and staying busy, and once I feel comfortable, my sweet and affectionate side quickly comes out. I can be shy when we first meet, so the best way to win me over is with patience, gentle approaches, and of course, some tasty treats. I know my tiny size makes it tempting to scoop me up right away, but letting me come to you first will help me feel safe and build trust. Once I decide you’re my person, you’ll see just how much love this tiny girl has to give. I’m looking for a family who will give me the time to settle in, plenty of adventures to enjoy, and a safe place to finally call home.   EEYU'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com   ##2852998##
