🐾 MY RESCUE STORY 🐾
I was rescued from the euthanasia list at the Miryang City Shelter in Korea. Although the shelter environment was unfamiliar and overwhelming at first, I showed gentle curiosity toward people even on my first day after rescue. With time, stability, and kindness, I’m continuing to adjust and learn what it means to feel safe.
💖 MY PERSONALITY 💖
My name is Avan. I’m a quiet, thoughtful boy with a calm presence. I may seem a little shy at first, and while I’ll accept treats right away, I prefer to be touched once I’ve had time to feel comfortable. I’m not overly clingy or expressive, but I enjoy being around people in a steady, reassuring way. You could describe me as an “aloof but kind son” — I may not constantly ask for attention, but I like knowing my people are nearby and I form gentle, trusting bonds over time.
🐶 MY SOCIAL SKILLS 🐶
• With People: I can be cautious around unfamiliar people and may bark when meeting someone new. With time and treats, I warm up and allow handling. I can be picked up comfortably. I have not yet met children under 13.
• With Dogs: I’m friendly and social with other dogs and will approach both familiar and unfamiliar dogs to say hello. I tend to feel comfortable around dogs similar to or larger than my size. If another dog provokes me, I may respond, so slow and supervised introductions with new dogs are important.
• With Cats: I have not yet been tested with cats. (A cat test can be conducted upon request to ensure the best fit.)
⚡️ ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY ⚡️
I have a moderate energy level. I enjoy outdoor activities and walks, and once I’ve had enough exercise, I settle down calmly indoors. I generally follow my handler well on leash, though I may pull at times. Since my walking experience is still limited, I may freeze or lie down when I encounter something unfamiliar or scary. With patient guidance, my confidence continues to grow.
🧠 TRAINING & HABITS 🧠
I do not guard food from people or other dogs. I may bark when I want something or when meeting unfamiliar people. I’m calm and well-behaved in a kennel and adapt well to routines. With consistency and positive reinforcement, I continue to make steady progress in a home environment.
🏡 MY IDEAL HOME 🏡
I would do best in a calm, understanding home that allows me to settle in at my own pace. I would thrive with:
• A patient family who respects my quieter personality
• Gentle guidance and consistent routines
• Supervised introductions with new dogs
• A stable environment where trust can build naturally
💌 SPECIAL NOTES 💌
Avan is not a dog who demands attention, but he quietly enjoys companionship and forms meaningful bonds over time. He has a reserved, “quiet son” kind of charm — steady, observant, and gentle with his people. For a family who appreciates a calm, thoughtful companion rather than an overly expressive one, Avan will be a deeply rewarding presence and a loyal part of the household.
