Dongju

Background: Dongju is a gentle and affectionate boy who was rescued from a city pound in Hanam, Korea, earlier this year. Since then, he’s been living in a shelter with other dogs, quietly waiting for his second chance at love and a place to call home.

Personality and Socialization: Dongju is sweet, gentle, and naturally submissive. He adores people and loves simply being near them. When it comes to other dogs, he gets along well with friendly ones of all sizes and personalities, as long as they’re not aggressive. He enjoys playing with others but also respects their space—if another dog isn’t interested in playing, Dongju backs off and takes it easy.

What makes Dongju truly special is how comfortable he is around both men and women—even strangers. He’s soft, loving, and forms bonds quickly, making him a perfect match for someone looking for a loyal and affectionate friend.

Behaviour: Though he may be a little cautious in new settings at first, Dongju warms up quickly and loves exploring when he feels safe. Most of all, he’s happiest when he’s with his humans. He does well during car rides, vet visits, and even bath time.

While he has limited experience with leash walks, he follows his people and really enjoys it. For a young dog, Dongju is impressively easy-going, obedient and smart.

Health and Diet: Dongju is neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. He’s on monthly parasite prevention and has tested negative for parasites. When he was rescued, he had a mild skin issue on the tip of one ear, but new hair is now growing back, and he’s in good health.

He eats dry kibble twice a day and has no known allergies or sensitivities.

Ideal Home: Dongju would thrive in a calm and loving home, ideally with someone who is home most of the time—such as a retiree or someone who works from home. He’d be happy either as a solo dog or with a gentle companion. His mellow, affectionate nature makes him a wonderful choice for first-time dog parents or anyone looking for a loyal, sweet, and loving fur baby.
