Hi, I’m Jordi! Breed: Jindo MixAge: 1.5 yearsGender: Male Weight: 32 lbHighlight(s): Good with other dogs, sweet, affectionateI’m one of the lucky ones. When the shelter I lived in closed because of financial difficulties, all of us were at risk of euthanasia. Thankfully, kind people came together to save us, and now I’m hoping my next chapter is with a family of my very own.I’m a sweet, gentle boy who can be a little shy when we first meet, but give me a little patience (and maybe a tasty treat!), and you’ll quickly discover my affectionate side. Before long, I’ll be rolling over for belly rubs or showing off my favorite move—standing up on my hind legs to gently wrap my front paws around your arm for the biggest, sweetest hug. It’s my special way of saying, “I trust you.”I enjoy meeting other dogs and am happy sharing my space with them, especially dogs closer to my own size. I’m more of a calm companion than a rough-and-tumble playmate, and I prefer friends who aren’t too big or overly energetic.I have a moderate to high energy level, so I’d love a family who enjoys walks, adventures, and helping me burn off some energy. Since I spent months tied up outside before my rescue, I’m still learning about leash walking and the big exciting world around me. I try my best to follow my person, though I may pull a little while I’m learning.I’m a really kind boy with no signs of aggression or resource guarding, and I haven’t shown separation anxiety either. I’m still working on some important life skills like house training and getting comfortable in a crate, and I may mark in a brand-new environment at first. I also get a little carsick right now, but with time, patience, and positive experiences, I know I’ll continue to grow.If you’re looking for a loyal best friend with a gentle heart, a loving soul, and the sweetest hugs you’ve ever received, I can’t wait to meet you. Energy Level: Moderate/high - Enjoys outdoor activities and like to rest/calm at home after walksI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unsureKids: unsureFears: Unknown/none observed.

Health notes: I have been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
