**Note: Vi lives in her foster home in Vancouver now.
Background: Vi was rescued from a city pound in Chuncheon this spring as part of the Save 100 Dogs project. After her rescue, she lived alongside other dogs at our partner shelter in Korea. Now, Vi has made her way to Vancouver, where she is adjusting to life in her foster home.
Personality and Socialization: Vi is an affectionate, intelligent, and protective dog with a natural alpha-like personality around other dogs. While smart, loyal, and loving with humans, Vi thrives in a home with experienced dog owners who can provide confident leadership. She is generally good with people, including strangers, but may take some time to warm up to certain men. She usually bonds quickly with women.
When it comes to other dogs, Vi isn’t particularly playful, but she gets along well with calm, non-assertive dogs. Her main focus is on her human companions, and she prefers quality time with them over playing with other dogs.
Behavior: Vi is well-behaved and eager to please, especially when given clear guidance. Vi walks well on a leash, stays close to her human, and is comfortable with car rides, vet visits, and grooming.
Barking is occasional but can be triggered by unfamiliar men or protective instincts. However, Vi is adaptable and a quick learner. She has shown no signs of separation anxiety or destructive behaviors.
Health and Care: When Vi was rescued, she had heartworms but has since completed treatment and is now heartworm-free. She also underwent hernia surgery and has fully recovered. Vi is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped. She takes monthly internal and external parasite preventatives. After thorough health checkups, Vi is now healthy and ready for her forever home. With no known allergies or dietary restrictions, she enjoys dry kibble and has a hearty appetite.
Ideal Home: Vi would thrive in a calm, relaxing home with experienced owners. Someone living a laid-back lifestyle who wants a loving, loyal fur companion would be an excellent match for Vi. She is ready to share her unwavering loyalty and affection with the right family.
