Age: 2 years
Weight: 31-40 lbs

In March 2025, WEACT rushed out before dawn after hearing that wildfires were rapidly spreading in the Gyeongnam–Sancheong area. With trucks loaded with water, food, and rescue equipment, the team headed straight into the fire zone. The fires quickly spread across Uiseong, Cheongsong, Yeongyang, and Andong. That’s where we met Vix.


Overall, Vix is a gentle and sophisticated dog with timeless charm. With his calm and understated charisma, Vix may seem a little sensitive at first glance. But once you get to know him, you’ll discover a warm gentleman at heart. Rather than rushing in or demanding attention, he quietly approaches and stays by your side. He can become a steady, comforting presence you can always count on. Vix can live in either a house or an apartment. If there is another dog at home, Vix is likely to learn and grow socially through that companionship. He loves people, so a family that approaches him with understanding, patience, and gentle affection would be perfect. Vix will quietly and deeply enrich your everyday life. Are you ready to fall for his charm?

The Jindo, a Korean native breed renowned for its loyalty, courage, and intelligence, is highly prized for its unwavering loyalty to its family. This medium sized, spitz type dog has a distinctive double coat that sheds seasonally. Known for their independent nature, Jindos require early socialization and firm, consistent training. With a strong prey drive and territorial instincts, they excel as hunters and watchdogs. Their deep bonds with their owners make them loving companions, albeit not suitable for inexperienced owners.
