🏡 MY RESCUE STORY 🏡

My story began in Taean, where my mom gave birth to me and my siblings.

Sadly, instead of growing up together somewhere safe, we were each tied up separately near a mountainside and left there. We were at risk of being sold off to anyone who would take us, without knowing what kind of future was waiting for us.

It’s hard to imagine such a little puppy being left tied up on a mountainside, but thankfully, that isn’t where my story ended. I was rescued and given the chance to experience a completely different life.

Now I’m safe, learning to trust, and discovering how wonderful it is to have people who care about me.

The next thing I’m hoping to discover is what it feels like to have a family of my very own. 🤎

💖 MY PERSONALITY 💖

Hi, I’m Fudge!

When we first meet, I might pretend I’m a little shy. But give me some treats, a little patience, and just a bit of time, and you’ll quickly see a completely different side of me.

Once I decide you’re my friend, I become a sweet little shadow who loves following my people around. I enjoy affection, I’m comfortable being gently picked up, and once I really trust you, I’ll even roll over and show you my belly.

I also happen to have some seriously adorable Dachshund features. My short little legs and long body give me that classic low-to-the-ground charm, while my beautiful red-brown coat makes me especially striking.

I may need a moment to warm up, but it usually doesn’t take long before I’m happily following you around and wondering what we’re doing next!

 

🐶 MY SOCIAL SKILLS 🐶

· With People: I can be slightly reserved when meeting someone for the first time, but treats are a great way to help me feel comfortable. I tend to warm up quickly and become very affectionate once I trust you. I’m comfortable being gently picked up and held, and I may even show you my belly once we’re friends.

· With Children: I haven’t had experience with children under 13 yet, so we don’t know exactly how I would interact with younger kids. Gentle and supervised introductions would be best.

· With Dogs: I’m generally social and interested in other dogs. I’ll approach both familiar and unfamiliar dogs to say hello and invite them to play. However, if another dog becomes confrontational, I may respond rather than simply walking away. Because of this, initial introductions with unfamiliar dogs should be calm, gradual, and supervised so everyone has enough space to feel comfortable.

· With Cats: I haven’t had enough experience around cats yet for us to know how I would behave living with one. Slow and supervised introductions would be important if my future family has a cat.

 

⚡ MY ENERGY LEVEL ⚡

I have a moderate energy level and enjoy a good balance of activity and downtime.

I like being outside, exploring, playing, and experiencing new things. Once I’ve had enough activity, though, I’m able to settle down and relax.

I’m still only seven months old, so I naturally have plenty of puppy curiosity, and my activity needs may continue to change as I grow.

 

🦮 MY WALKING SKILLS 🦮

I’m currently learning how to walk nicely on a leash.

Sometimes I pull because there are so many interesting things to investigate outside, but overall, I follow my person well.

I’m still young and learning, so continued practice, patience, and positive reinforcement will help me build even better leash manners.

Since treats help me warm up and connect with people, they can also be a great tool for making training fun and rewarding.

 

🏠 MY HOME LIFE & MANNERS 🏠

For such a young pup, I’m already showing some wonderful qualities.

I’m generally very quiet and rarely bark, and I settle calmly when I’m in a kennel.

I currently use both indoor pee pads and outdoor potty areas. Since I’m still young, I’ll need my future family to continue reinforcing a consistent potty routine as I adjust to my new home.

I also show no food guarding toward people or other dogs.

Once I feel comfortable with my surroundings, I’m a sweet little companion who loves knowing where my people are and staying close to them.

 

🌱 WHAT I’M STILL LEARNING 🌱

At seven months old, there’s still a lot for me to learn and experience.

I’m continuing to work on my leash manners, potty routine, household expectations, and confidence in unfamiliar situations.

I may initially be cautious around someone new, but I usually just need a little time to understand that I’m safe. Once I do, my hesitation quickly starts disappearing.

I’ll also benefit from continued positive socialization with other dogs. I enjoy meeting them, but because I may respond if another dog challenges me, my future family should help me practice calm and respectful introductions.

With patient guidance and positive experiences, I have so much potential to continue growing into a confident and wonderful companion.

 

🏡 MY IDEAL HOME 🏡

I’m still young and adaptable, so I could potentially thrive in many different types of homes.

I’d love a family who will give me a little time to warm up instead of expecting me to be completely comfortable right away. Once I trust you, I form connections quickly and love staying close to my people.

I could potentially live with a compatible dog, but thoughtful introductions and respectful interactions would be important.

My future family should also be ready to continue my training, help me experience the world positively, and give me a healthy balance of exercise, playtime, affection, and rest.

More than anything, I’m looking for people who will show me that I never have to wonder where I belong again.

 

✨ WHY YOU’LL LOVE ME ✨

Maybe you’ll notice my gorgeous red-brown coat first. Or maybe it’ll be my tiny legs and long little Dachshund body that make you smile. But give me a little time, and you’ll discover the best part—my personality. I might be slightly shy when we first meet, but that hesitation doesn’t last very long. A few treats and some patience later, you may suddenly realize that I’ve started following you everywhere. I’m sweet, curious, affectionate, and happiest once I know I’m safe with my people. It’s difficult to imagine that such a little pup once spent his days tied up alone on a mountainside. Thankfully, those days are behind me.

Now I’m ready to spend the rest of my life following someone who will always lead me home. 🤎
