He arrived shy and unsure, but with consistency and kindness, he's begun to blossom — following his foster mom, seeking comfort from trusted people, and showing quiet affection.<br/><br/>He is tender-hearted, submissive, and non-reactive. Even when frightened, he has never shown aggression. Hangwa thrives with calm routines and adopters who understand confidence grows slowly — and beautifully.<br/><br/>Personality & Social Behavior<br/><br/>With Women<br/><br/>* Initially shy and hesitant to approach on his own<br/>* After about two weeks, he begins to follow his person closely.<br/>* Shows affection by staying nearby and snuggling once trust is built<br/>* When nervous, he may freeze or flatten but never react defensively.<br/>* Accepts handling and enjoys being held once comfortable<br/><br/>With Men<br/><br/>* Not specifically fearful of men; shy toward all unfamiliar people<br/>* Deep voices, large builds, or sudden movements may startle him.<br/>* Builds trust through calm presence and gentle interaction<br/><br/>With Children<br/><br/>* No direct experience<br/>* Easily startled by loud sounds or sudden movement.<br/><br/>With Dogs<br/><br/>* Lives peacefully with a companion dog<br/>* Very gentle and non-competitive; often lets other dogs “win.”<br/>* Avoids pushy or intense dogs<br/>* Prefers calm dogs or dogs of similar size<br/>* Has not yet met large dogs<br/><br/>With Cats<br/><br/>* Shows mild curiosity only<br/>* May look or briefly sniff but does not chase, bark, or fixate.<br/>* Far more interested in people, treats, and friendly dogs<br/><br/>Home Life & Daily Behavior<br/><br/>* Comfortable alone for up to 4–6 hours (rarely left fully alone)<br/>* Sleeps on the bed with his foster mom; rests calmly during the day<br/>* No destructive behavior; extremely gentle with belongings<br/>* No barking observed<br/>* Fully potty trained outdoors. Like many male dogs, he may mark when entering a new place or to claim his territory. Using a belly band indoors can help prevent marking.<br/>* Eats well but tends to swallow food quickly and may not chew thoroughly — supervise him with bone treats.<br/><br/>Training & Care<br/><br/>Walks<br/><br/>* Requires a double leash (harness + collar) for safety<br/>* Can startle in new environments or with loud noises<br/>* Walks improve after warming up and settling.<br/>* Curious about street food, and should be monitored<br/><br/><br/>Car Rides<br/><br/>* Enjoys car rides once settled.<br/>* Must be prevented from jumping out when doors open<br/>* Prefers a car seat over a carrier<br/>* No motion sickness observed<br/><br/>Grooming<br/><br/>* Exceptionally gentle and cooperative<br/>* Allows baths, drying, nail care, and tooth brushing<br/>* May appear nervous but remains calm and compliant.<br/><br/>Crate Training: Crate training is ongoing.<br/><br/>Health & Preventatives<br/><br/>* Healthy<br/>* No known allergies<br/>* Monthly NexGard Spectra on the 20th<br/>* Diet: NOW Fresh Grain-Free Small Breed Puppy<br/>* Enjoys chicken, beef, and duck neck chews (supervised due to swallowing tendency)<br/><br/>Hangwa will thrive with adopters who are:<br/><br/>* Calm, patient, and experienced with shy or sensitive dogs<br/>* Willing to allow him time and space to build confidence<br/>* Gentle and consistent with routines<br/>* Committed to double-leash safety during transitions<br/>* Able to provide quiet walks and gradual socialization<br/><br/>He would do well as:<br/><br/>* A solo dog with attentive adopters, or<br/>* A home with one gentle, friendly dog<br/><br/>Not a Good Fit For<br/><br/>* Loud, chaotic, or high-energy households<br/>* First-time dog owners without experience with fearful or shy dogs<br/>* Families expecting an immediately outgoing puppy<br/><br/>From His Foster<br/><br/>“Hangwa is shy at first, but once he opens his heart, he follows you everywhere. He is soft, sensitive, obedient, and incredibly sweet. He just needs a gentle family who understands that his trust is precious — and once he gives it, he gives it fully.”
