She successfully completed treatment for Parvovirus and skin issues while in rescue care and is now a beautifully healthy, happy puppy.<br/><br/>Soy will travel to the United States through our rescue’s flight volunteer program once she is adopted. Our team coordinates international transport and guides adopters through the entire arrival process to ensure a smooth and safe transition.<br/><br/>🩺 Health & Medical<br/>• Fully recovered from past shelter illnesses<br/>• Monthly preventatives: NexGard Plus (given on the 3rd of each month)<br/>• Tends to build up earwax in one ear, so regular ear cleaning is recommended<br/>• Current diet: Royal Canin Medium Puppy<br/><br/>Additional notes<br/>• Very food motivated and eats enthusiastically<br/>• Tends to swallow food quickly without chewing — a slow feeder bowl is recommended<br/>• Portion and weight monitoring will be important as she grows<br/><br/>🌸 Personality Overview<br/><br/>Soy is an affectionate, playful, and expressive puppy once she feels comfortable with you. She can be a little shy when meeting new people and prefers gentle introductions rather than being approached too quickly.<br/><br/>If you give her a little space at first, she will soon approach on her own, rub against you, and quickly become your shadow. Because she loves food, earning her trust with treats is very easy.<br/><br/>Once she bonds with her people, Soy becomes a true cuddle bug and loves staying close to her humans. She enjoys being part of the household and thrives when she feels included in daily life.<br/><br/>Like many young puppies, she is still learning boundaries and may sometimes protest when being picked up, but she responds well to calm guidance and positive reinforcement.<br/><br/>👨‍👩‍👧 With Adults & Children<br/><br/>• Prefers people who understand giving her a little space when first meeting<br/>• Warms up quickly and becomes very affectionate<br/>• Limited experience with children so far<br/>• Calm, respectful children who allow her to approach first would likely be a good match<br/><br/>🐕 With Other Dogs & Cats<br/><br/>• Currently fostered with a large mixed-breed dog and gains confidence from having a canine companion<br/>• Very playful with other dogs and enjoys active play sessions<br/>• Typical puppy energy, so a tolerant dog friend is ideal<br/>• Needs a short adjustment period with unfamiliar dogs<br/>• During walks she generally ignores other dogs<br/><br/>She has also met a resident cat at a café and showed no interest 🐱.<br/><br/>🏠 Home Life & Separation<br/><br/>• Fully potty trained using both pee pads indoors and outdoor potty breaks<br/>• Currently stays home for up to 10 hours with the resident dog and does well<br/>• May become anxious if left completely alone without humans or another dog<br/><br/>Typical puppy behaviors<br/>• Currently teething and enjoys chewing paper, tissues, slippers, and plastic items<br/>• A puppy-proofed home and appropriate chew toys are important<br/>• May investigate countertops if food is left unattended<br/><br/>She can startle easily at loud indoor noises like vacuums and may hide under the bed or in corners until she feels safe again.<br/><br/>🚶 Walk Behavior & Car Rides<br/><br/>• Loves daily walks (currently two 30-minute walks per day)<br/>• Sensitive to very cold weather and may ask to be carried when temperatures drop ❄️<br/>• Can startle at sudden loud outdoor noises, so a secure harness and GPS tracker (Fi or Tractive) are strongly recommended<br/><br/>Favorite outdoor activities<br/>• Chasing leaves<br/>• Running zoomies<br/>• Exploring new environments<br/><br/>Car rides<br/>• Experiences some motion sickness (drooling or occasional vomiting) on longer rides<br/>• Does better when supported or when her head is stabilized<br/>• This has been gradually improving<br/><br/>🛁 Grooming & Play<br/><br/>• Cooperative during baths but may shiver if they take too long<br/>• Very afraid of the hair dryer<br/>• Toothbrushing is still a work in progress (she loves the taste of dog toothpaste)<br/><br/>Favorite toys and activities<br/>• Plush toys<br/>• Balls<br/>• Wood chews<br/>• Tug-of-war<br/>• Shredding cardboard or toilet paper rolls<br/><br/>Like many puppies, she can become a little mouthy when excited, but she settles quickly when redirected to toys.<br/><br/>📏 Measurements<br/><br/>• Neck: 32 cm (12.5 in)<br/>• Chest: 48 cm (19 in)<br/><br/>🏡 Ideal Home<br/><br/>• A multi-dog household with a playful canine companion<br/>• Adopters who understand puppy development and positive reinforcement training<br/>• A home that can provide regular exercise, structure, and enrichment<br/><br/>A securely fenced yard would be a wonderful bonus for safe outdoor play.<br/><br/>💛 Adoption Fee: $650<br/><br/>The adoption fee includes:<br/><br/>• Spay surgery<br/>• Core vaccinations<br/>• Microchip<br/>• Veterinary exam before travel<br/>• International health certificate<br/>• International transport from South Korea<br/>• Rescue care and rehabilitation prior to adoption<br/><br/>💬 Why Soy<br/><br/>Soy is a spirited, affectionate, and deeply loving puppy who bonds closely with her people.
