Rescue Story
Sophie was rescued as a young puppy from a municipal kill shelter in South Korea. Since then, she has been in foster care, learning to trust people and adjust to home life. She will travel to the United States once the right family is found through a thorough application and vetting process.
Personality & Behavior
Sophie is a gentle and affectionate dog who takes time to warm up but blossoms into a playful and loving companion.
• With People: Initially shy, she bonds well over time. She warms up to women more quickly and is cautious around men.
• With Children: She has not been directly exposed to children but would likely do well with calm, dog-savvy kids.
• With Other Dogs: She is fearful of large dogs but neutral with smaller ones. She does not initiate play but engages politely when approached.
• With Cats & Other Animals: She shows little interest in other animals and does not chase or react to them.
Training & Habits
Sophie is well-mannered and thrives with routine and gentle guidance.
• Potty Training: Fully outdoor trained for bowel movements. Urinates outside during walks but still uses indoor pee pads about 50 percent of the time. Adopters should continue encouraging full outdoor potty training
• Leash Skills: She enjoys walks once familiar with her environment, improves with training, and does not scavenge.
• Crate Training: Not formally trained but remains calm in a dog carrier.
• Alone Time: Can be left alone for two to four hours without separation anxiety.
• Car Rides: Travels well, remains calm, and not experience motion sickness.
• Grooming: Tolerates baths and daily tooth brushing well, though she does not particularly enjoy them.
• Vocalization: Generally quiet, with occasional barking in response to noises. Did not bark at all for the first five to six months in foster care.
• Favorite Activities & Toys: Loves tug games and interactive play and enjoys running around the house in the evenings.
Health & Diet
• Medical History: Grade 1 luxating patella (right hind leg). Sophie Underwent successful surgery on February 7 and is now recovering well
• Current Health: Very healthy with no known issues.
• Last flea and tick and heartworm prevention: Bravecto and Heartgard
• Diet: Eats Orijen Original kibble and enjoys fruits such as apples, bananas, and sweet potatoes.
Daily Routine: Sophie has adapted well to her structured daily routine. She wakes up at 7:00 AM, goes for her first walk at 11:00 AM, and has breakfast from 11:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Afterward, she enjoys quiet time alone from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. Dinner is at 7:00 PM, followed by her evening walk at 8:00 PM. Finally, she brushes her teeth and goes to bed at 10:00 PM. Although she used to explore the house at night, she has now settled into this predictable schedule.

- Best Fit: A calm and structured home that offers stability and consistency.
