✨ The "Sweet & Shy" Soul

Soy is the "baby"—charming and sweet once she feels safe. Though social when comfortable, she starts out a bit introverted.

- First Meetings: She’s wary of strangers but warms up if ignored. Soon, she’ll rub against your legs.
- The Bond: Once attached, she’s a shadow—leaning on her humans and sleeping in their bed.
- Expressive: She has a clear voice! She will let out a little protest sound if you try to pick her up when she’s not in the mood.

🐕 Life with Other Pets

Soy thrives in the company of other dogs.

- Confidence Booster: She currently lives with a large resident dog and relies heavily on it for emotional support.
- Play Style: She’s spunky—she’ll poke for play but shows her belly to apologize if corrected.
- Cats: She has met a cafe cat and was indifferent. But does not have any experience with living or sharing spaces with domesticated cats.

🏠 Home Habits & Training

- Potty Training: 100% trained! Uses pads indoors and prefers outdoors in homes with yards.
- Separation: With another dog, she’s calm for 10 hours. Alone, she barks and is anxious. She needs a multi-dog home.
- The Puppy Factor: She’s teething! Loves to shred tissues and slippers. If you leave out chips, she’ll steal them!
- Spooked Easily: Loud noises like vacuums or big gestures make her hide. She needs a patient home that uses positive reinforcement.

🚶 Out & About

- Walking: Two 30-minute walks a day keep her happy. She loves hunting, falling leaves, and running zoomies.
- Cold Weather: She shivers and asks to be carried on cold days.
- Car Rides: She’s improving with motion sickness. She travels best with a bumper bed or a head to lean on.

🩺 Health & Grooming

- Recovery: Fully recovered from past illnesses. She’s a healthy, happy girl!
- Maintenance: Needs regular ear cleaning (one ear gets waxy).
- She eats quickly and tends to swallow her food whole, so a slow-feeder bowl is important!
- Bath Time: She is a good girl in the tub, though she gets a bit shaky if it takes too long. She is still learning that the hairdryer isn't a monster.

🏡 Soy’s Dream Home

- A canine sibling is a must. She needs a friend to play with and lean on.
- Patient adopters who won't force affection on day one.
- Someone who works from home or has a lifestyle where she isn't left totally alone for long periods.
- An active family who enjoys daily walks and doesn't mind a velcro dog in bed at night.

💛 Adoption Fee: $650

Includes spay, vaccinations, microchip, health certificate, and international flight from South Korea to the US.

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.

The Shiba Inu is a small to medium sized dog breed known for its fox like appearance, with a curled tail and upright ears. Originating from Japan, Shiba Inus are independent, alert, and spirited dogs. They are loyal to their families but can be reserved around strangers. Recognized for their bold and confident nature, Shiba Inus require consistent training and socialization to thrive. With a thick double coat and a distinct red, sesame, or black and tan coloration, Shiba Inus are charming companions for active individuals or families.
