A friendly, compatible resident dog could be a wonderful companion.<br/>Somang is uncomfortable around children, including middle-schoolers, and particularly wary of middle-aged men. Her foster recommends a home without middle-aged male household members.<br/>She enjoys affection on her own terms. Letting her approach and settle beside you works better than picking her up or reaching for a hug. Loud voices and sudden movements can frighten her.<br/><br/>PERSONALITY AND PEOPLE<br/>Somang often approaches unfamiliar women after a brief look and asks for petting. With someone she trusts, she enjoys cuddling, lounging close by, and keeping them company throughout the day.<br/>She is more selective with men. She may approach a man who greets her gently, but continued to avoid her foster's father despite repeated visits.<br/>New surroundings can make her pant or startle. Give her time to settle into a predictable routine and discover that she is safe.<br/><br/>OTHER DOGS AND CATS<br/>Dogs: Friendly with dogs of different sizes and especially enthusiastic about large dogs. She often wags and whines when she wants to say hello and enjoys opportunities to play.<br/>If a small dog barks at her, she generally backs away or keeps walking without barking back.<br/>Cats: Has shown little interest in cats indoors but tries to chase them outdoors. Compatibility with cats in an adoptive home has not been established.<br/><br/>LIFE AT HOME<br/>Somang is generally relaxed indoors. She enjoys napping near her person and occasionally stopping by to ask for affection.<br/>Time Alone: Has managed approximately 4 to 6 hours in her foster home, usually sleeping while her caregiver is out.<br/>Separation: May wait by the door or check for her person, but her foster reports no separation anxiety.<br/>Destructive Behavior: None observed.<br/>Barking: Mostly in response to a knock or activity immediately outside the door. Occasionally barks when excited about another dog.<br/>Indoor Toys: Limited interest. She would usually rather spend time with her person or head outside for a walk.<br/><br/>WALKS AND PLAY<br/>Somang loves her walks and enjoys exploring, meeting friendly dogs, and running around with her person. She also likes a playful game of hide-and-seek.<br/>Routine: At least three outings daily, including longer morning and evening walks and a shorter midday potty break.<br/>Leash Manners: May pull toward dogs or interesting destinations, or stop when she wants to take a different route. Continued reward-based practice will help.<br/>Training: Has practiced sit, wait, and down, with progress responding without a visible treat.<br/>Safety: She once ran off after her harness buckle came undone. Use a securely fitted harness and collar with a backup connection. Off-leash play must be limited to securely fenced areas.<br/><br/>HOUSE TRAINING<br/>Fully house-trained and goes to the bathroom outdoors only.<br/>She needs consistent potty breaks and enough time to find a comfortable spot. Rain, wearing a raincoat, heat, or distractions such as cats may make her reluctant to go.<br/>She does not always ask to go outside, so her family should maintain a regular schedule.<br/><br/>CRATE TRAINING AND CAR RIDES<br/>Crate: Somang has made wonderful progress with patient practice and a larger crate. By October, she was choosing to go inside, relax, and sleep there on her own.<br/>Crate Travel: Still needs practice. Her comfort in a crate at home has not yet been established during travel.<br/>Car Rides: Gets into the car but may pant and have trouble settling while it is moving. She needs safe restraint and gradual practice.<br/><br/>FOOD AND ALLERGIES<br/>Current Food: Salmon-based kibble.<br/>Favorite Treats: Boiled sweet potato, chicken breast, and Whimzees dental chews.<br/>Allergies: Her foster reports a history of reactions, but the exact trigger is unknown. Poultry was initially suspected after a reaction to poultry-based food, although chicken and duck treats have since been tolerated without an observed flare-up.<br/>A poultry allergy is not confirmed. Adopters should monitor food tolerance and share this history with their veterinarian.<br/><br/>HEALTH AND GROOMING<br/>Heartworm History: Has received heartworm treatment. Treatment completion and follow-up test results need confirmation.<br/>Dental Care: Professional dental cleaning will be completed before Somang leaves South Korea.<br/>Parasite Prevention: NexGard Spectra on the 20th of each month, year-round, including winter.<br/>Bathing: Dislikes baths and blow-dryers, but her foster reported improvement during a later bath. No biting during baths was reported.<br/>Toothbrushing: More comfortable having her front teeth brushed than her back teeth.<br/>Shedding: Seasonal shedding reported.<br/><br/>RESCUE STORY<br/>Somang and her only surviving puppy were rescued from Hongseong Municipal Shelter, a municipal kill shelter in South Korea. Her son has since found his forever home, but Somang is still waiting for hers.<br/>This loving mom deserves a family of her own. Give Somang the chance to be someone's beloved companion for life.<br/><br/>A FAMILY OF HER OWN<br/>Somang isn't looking for nonstop excitement. She is looking for someone to share her everyday joys: a good walk, a friendly dog to play with, and a comfortable place to cuddle afterward.<br/>For a gentle family that respects her boundaries and gives her time to settle, Somang has so much affection to offer.<br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE: 650 dollars<br/>Includes spay surgery, vaccinations, microchip, dental cleaning, pre-departure veterinary exam and care, health certificate, and transportation to the United States.
