🌿 MY RESCUE STORY 🌿

I had a rough start in life, living in a neglected dog farm in Geumsan-gun. Days were long and lonely, and I often wondered if anyone would ever care for me. Thankfully, in 2024, kind rescuers found me and gave me a second chance at life. Since then, I’ve been learning to trust and enjoy love, and now I’m ready to find a family who will shower me with care and affection.

 

💛 MY PERSONALITY 💛

Hi! I’m Igeum. I’m a calm and friendly dog who enjoys spending time with people. I can be a little shy at first, but if you offer me a treat, I’ll happily take it and warm up quickly. I’m very smart and I love gentle pets. I don’t guard my food around people or other dogs, and I rarely bark. I have a cozy, low-energy side too—I love lying on a soft bed or blanket and resting calmly. My left front leg is missing, so I can’t do rough play or long walks, but normal walks and regular exercise are just right for me.

 

🐾 SOCIAL SKILLS 🐾

• With People: I’m a little shy at first, but if you offer me a treat, I’ll happily take it and quickly become your friend. I haven’t met children under 13 yet, so I’m still learning how to interact with them. I prefer not to be lifted by putting arms under my belly, but I love gentle pets and spending time close to people.

• With Dogs: I approach new dogs to say hello, but I usually don’t play with them. I can feel overwhelmed by very energetic dogs. If another dog provokes me, I might react defensively, so it’s important to be cautious when I meet new dogs for the first time.

• With Cats: I haven’t had the chance to meet cats yet, so my reaction to them is unknown.

 

🛋️ ENERGY & HABITS 🛋️

• Low energy: I enjoy lounging and short strolls

• Crate trained, quiet indoors

• Walks well on leash, no pulling

• Food motivated and smart

• May need help managing my big appetite

 

🏡 MY IDEAL HOME 🏡

• A loving and patient family who can give me lots of attention and affection

• A calm home with cozy spaces where I can rest comfortably

• Short walks and gentle exercise that suit my leg condition

• A home where introductions to other dogs are done carefully, respecting my comfort level

• A family who can help manage my diet since I have a big appetite

💌 SPECIAL NOTE 💌

I’m still learning to get along with other dogs, so group walks or playtime with new dogs can be a little stressful for me. My legs are a bit uncomfortable, so short walks are best for me. I spend a lot of time lying down and I really enjoy having a cozy bed or blanket. I have a big appetite, so my weight needs to be monitored carefully. I’m considered a level 2 rescue dog.
