Swan (S. Korea) HZ♀

About

Hi, I'm Swan! Breed: Jindo Mix Age: 7 Months Gender: Female Weight: 32 lbs Height: 21 inches Highlight(s): Good with other dogs, social, cuddly I was abandoned by my previous owner through no fault of my own, but I'm not letting that define my story. I'm now thriving in foster care and looking for the loving family I've always deserved. If you're looking for a social butterfly, that's me! I adore people and don't take long to make new friends. Belly rubs are one of my favorite things in the world, and I have no problem rolling over for strangers to ask for scratches. I'm affectionate, cuddly, and happy to be picked up and doted on. I've also been very gentle around children. Dogs? I LOVE them! Big dogs, little dogs, old friends, new friends—I get along with everyone. I'm currently living with four other dogs and have fit right in from the very beginning. Meeting new dogs is exciting for me, and I especially enjoy a good wrestling session with my canine pals. I have a moderate energy level for a puppy. I enjoy walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures, but I'm equally happy to settle down and relax at home afterward. I'm learning to navigate city life and can still be startled by sudden noises or unexpected movements, but I'm becoming more confident every day. I'm also a pretty polite walking companion and don't pull much on the leash. I don't guard my food or toys, I rarely bark, and I haven't shown any signs of separation anxiety or wanting to escape. I'm currently about 50% housetrained, using both pee pads and going outdoors, and I'm making steady progress with consistency and encouragement. One thing I'm still working through is severe car sickness, so car rides can be tough for me right now. With patience, understanding, and guidance from my future family and veterinarian, I hope this will continue to improve over time. What I want most is a family to love with my whole heart. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate, dog-loving companion who greets life with an open heart and a wagging tail, I just might be your perfect match. Love, Swan Energy Level: Moderate energy level for puppies. I get along with: Dogs: yes Cats: unsure Kids: yes Fears: Unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition. Leash skills: Yes. Please be prepared to continue training. House trained: Yes 50% outdoors / 50% pee pads. Please be prepared to help me learn where to go in my new home.

This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver. Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue. Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems. Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you. The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs. Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live. Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
