Willow's Story

🌿Meet Willow - Wildfire Survivor, Once Chained, Now Ready for Love<br/>Here are more photos and videos of Willow: https://www.instagram.com/p/DOIE2bsDh-k/?hl=en<br/>https://www.instagram.com/p/DT4k9xvAdGj/?hl=en<br/><br/>Willow's story is one of survival and hope. When the devastating wildfires swept through Andong, Gyeongsang Province, South Korea in March, he was found alone-chained and left behind while the flames closed in. By what can only be called a miracle, Willow survived, though the fire left burns on his back as a reminder of what he endured.<br/><br/>Like many dogs in rural Korea, Willow had been kept on a chain, not as a family companion, but only to guard his owner's property. He knew little kindness, sleeping outdoors, and living a life of neglect and confinement.<br/><br/>Name: Willow<br/>Breed: Jindo mix<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Age: 2 years 3 months<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Weight: 16-17 lbs<br/>Spayed/Neutered: Yes<br/><br/>Willow was named after the willow tree, which symbolizes resilience, hope, and the strength to bend without breaking. It's the perfect name for a dog who has endured so much yet still greets the world with gentleness.<br/><br/>Temperament & Behavior:<br/>Dogs: Willow loves other dogs. Before his foster home, he loved playing and having dog friends at the rescue center. His tail wags happily when he meets canine friends.<br/>Cats: Seems to be afraid of cats<br/>Kids: Older children<br/>People: Willow bonds deeply with those who spend the most time with him. He’s especially affectionate with his foster mom and her sister, following them around and showing his playful side. With men and strangers, he may be wary and timid at first, quietly cautious until he warms up.<br/>100% potty trained , needs 3-4 walks a day (30 mins each)<br/>Crate trained and sees his crate as a safe, cozy spot<br/>Rarely barks — just the occasional soft growl at night noises<br/>No separation anxiety; he relaxes when left alone. Greets you you happily when you come home<br/>Gentle with his mouth, he may softly hold a hand when very happy, but never nips<br/><br/>Loves squeaky toys, playing under blankets, fetch, and tug. Sometimes he resists putting on the leash, but once outside he’s a happy walker, especially when there are new scents to explore. Indoors, he’s calm and relaxed. Outdoors, he’s playful and curious. Willow is a balanced mix of independence and affection. He thrives in a calm, consistent routine.<br/><br/>Health Notes:<br/>Ears can get moist and itchy. Needs regular cleaning.<br/>Burn injuries from the wildfire. Treated successfully.<br/>His coat was once dry and damaged from smoke exposure but has improved greatly with care. Ongoing grooming is recommended.<br/>Nails are brittle, trimming needs care.<br/>Slight cavities and tartar despite daily dental care. Will have a dental scaling before departure<br/>History of corrective surgery for angular limb deformity. Now fully recovered and active.<br/>Mild bronchial sensitivity. Currently on supplements.<br/><br/>Willow’s Ideal Family:<br/>Has prior dog experience<br/>Can commit to daily walks and playtime<br/>Patient, gentle, and ready to let Willow bloom at his own pace<br/>Prefers a calm home with adults only.<br/><br/>Foster’s comments:<br/>Willow is a sweet and gentle boy who, once he opens his heart, shows endless affection. He follows his family around, wagging his tail, and even comforts them if he senses they are unwell. He loves treats, but he loves his people even more. He waits by the door for his family to return, playfully taps with his paw for attention, and brings joy to those around him. We sincerely hope Willow finds a forever family who will cherish him, continue to nurture his gentle soul, and show him a bigger and brighter world filled with love. 💕<br/><br/>This resilient, sweet boy is ready for his forever home!💗<br/><br/>Willow adoption fee is $750, plus $240 for US customs entry broker fee.<br/><br/>For adoption inquires please contact us or fill out an adoption application via the link in our Instagram bio.

Willow's story is one of survival and hope. When the devastating wildfires swept through Andong, Gyeongsang Province, South Korea in March, he was found alone-chained and left behind while the flames closed in. By what can only be called a miracle, Willow survived, though the fire left burns on his back as a reminder of what he endured.

Like many dogs in rural Korea, Willow had been kept on a chain, not as a family companion, but only to guard his owner's property. He knew little kindness, sleeping outdoors, and living a life of neglect and confinement.

Love Is Mighty Rescue's Adoption Policy
Love Is Mighty Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, volunteer-run, foster-based organization dedicated to helping South Korean dogs rescued from abuse, neglect, exploitation, high-kill shelters, puppy mills, and the dog meat trade. As we grow, we hope to rescue dogs locally as well. We are committed to finding the best possible match between our adoptable dogs and families looking to welcome a new companion into their lives. The adoption fee is $750 + US customs entry broker fee of $240. The adoption fee is non-refundable. This fee covers medical care, transport, dog's airfare and crate, and other expenses already incurred by the rescue, while also helping other dogs in need. Reduced fee for senior and special-needs dogs. *Adopters who need to return their dog after adoption are subject to a $200 rehoming fee to help cover some of the cost of care and placement. During the first 14 days, if you find your dog is not the right fit, you may return your dog without paying the rehoming fee. After 14 days, the $200 fee applies. At Love Is Mighty Rescue, we make every effort to match the right dog with the right family—the best fit for both—aiming to build happy, lifelong bonds and forever homes for our rescue dogs.
