Adopt Jamong, the Gentle Jindo Mix Who Follows Her Favourite Person EverywhereQuick FactsBreed: Jindo mix · Sex: Female · Born: August 15, 2020 · Weight: 15.8 kg · Location: Toronto · Traits: Loyal, calm, gentle · Health: Spayed, vaccinated, healthyBackgroundJamong was rescued in February 2025 from a rural home in Pyeongtaek, Korea. Her mother lived in a raised wire cage. Jamong was tied on a short chain on muddy ground, and an old fire pit opening was her only shelter. From March 2025 to February 2026, she lived at another boarding house. In February 2026, she moved to our partner shelter.PersonalityJamong is the kind of dog who grows on you more every day. Once she decides you’re her person, her love is steady and constant. She quietly follows her favourite people around and loves to be petted by them. When someone she loves is around, she’s happy to be stroked all day long.In the morning, when someone comes into her kennel, she greets them with a soft, quiet tail wag. She has a sweet little habit: when she barks, she taps her front paws up and down. Her energy level is low, and when she’s on her own, she sleeps and rests quietly. Loud noises make her step away. New people, places and objects don’t interest her much, so she usually ignores them instead of going over to explore.CompatibilityWith strangers, Jamong is calm and a little indifferent. If someone reaches for her too quickly, she’ll back away. But if you call her name and approach her gently, she’ll let you pet her. She’s slightly more relaxed with women, but the difference isn’t big. She has no sensitive spots and doesn’t mind being touched anywhere.Jamong has met children and showed no particular interest in them. As with any dog, time with children should be supervised, and parents should take full responsibility for teaching both their children and their dog how to interact safely.Jamong is a submissive quiet girl. She gets along well with other dogs, though she isn’t very interested in playing. If a quiet, calm dog comes up to her, she’s happy to accept their company. She doesn’t guard her food or toys.Jamong hasn’t lived with cats before, so we can’t say for certain how she’d do. Knowing her calm and easygoing nature, though, we think it’s possible with a slow, gradual introduction, plenty of patience, and enough space for each of them to have their own retreat while they get used to one another.Behaviours & TrainingJamong does her business outdoors. She walks well on a leash and harness, doesn’t pull, and doesn’t react to other dogs, cars or motorbikes. She’s quiet in the car and behaves well at the vet. She does well with baths, nail trims and brushing. She doesn’t chew things she shouldn’t, and she doesn’t bark much. She hasn’t shown any signs of separation anxiety. She knows her name and comes when she’s called. She eats well without being greedy about food.Health & DietJamong is spayed, dewormed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. She takes monthly parasite preventatives. She was treated for heartworm after her rescue. In March 2025, one of her toes was removed because of a severe infection. She’s missing that one toe, but it doesn’t slow her down, and she walks comfortably. In March 2026, during a dental cleaning, she also had a small surgery to smooth an old lip injury that had healed unevenly. In August 2026, a fatty lump under her chin was removed. Recently, another dog snapped at her by accident, and she needed one stitch for a small cut near her left eye. It has fully healed, and the fur there is growing back.She has no known allergies and no skin or digestive issues. She has passed the veterinary screening and is healthy and ready for a forever home. She eats kibble twice a day and has not shown any food allergies or sensitivities so far.Ideal HomeJamong would do best in a quiet home with someone who has had dogs before. New people don’t scare her much, but she warms up in her own time. The right family will let her come to them without rushing her. In return, they’ll get a companion who stays close by their side and gives them her love and loyalty, no matter what. She’d be a great match for someone who is retired or works from home, enjoys a quiet, peaceful life, and wants a sweet, gentle dog who is easy to care for.Jamong spent years on a chain with nowhere soft to rest. She has learned to trust people again, and now she’s ready for a calm home and a person to follow from room to room.Jamong means grapefruit in Korean.
