From a Shelter in Korea to a Second ChancePlease to meet you. I'm Julie, a beautiful white Jindo mix with a bright smile and a gentle heart. I was rescued in February of 2025, from South Korea. I was scheduled to be euthanized and rescued just in time. At the time of rescue, they estimated me to be about 11 months old. I am now just over 2 yrs old and a mere 23 lbs. Since my rescue, I have been living at my rescuer's shelter with many other dogs. In a busy shelter environment, I have shown myself to be calm, stable, and well-balanced. Personality & CharmHaving a gentle, easy-going personality, I like people and accept human interaction well. I am not overly demanding, loud, or hyper. Instead, I have a calm and steady presence. I enjoy being around people, but am also comfortable spending time on my own. I am not the type of dog who constantly seeks attention or becomes overly pushy. Since I currently live with many other dogs at the shelter, I generally get along well with them. I am not a rough or intense player and do not constantly bother other dogs. I prefer peacefully sharing space with my dog friends, while keeping my own calm rhythm. When meeting a new dog for the first time, I may need a little time to understand the relationship and settle into the dynamic. With calm introductions and proper guidance, I do well.Overall, I am a quiet, friendly, and sensible dog. My rescuers have rarely seen me bark. I am not known to be noisy or disruptive. I have met children who visited the shelter and did not show any major issues around them, however, I have never liived with them. Like many Jindo mixes, I may need a little time to adjust to a completely new home, person, and routine. However, with patience, kindness, and a calm environment, it can be expected I will settle in well and build a loyal bond with my family.CompatibilityPeople: Good — Julie likes people and is generally friendly.Dogs: GoodCats: Not tested — However, I may chase fast-moving animals or objects, so a home with cats would require caution, slow introductions, and careful management.Kids: If there are children in the home, we hope they are calm and respectful, and understand how to interact gently with dogs.Ideal HomeI would do well in a calm, stable, and loving home. I could live with another well-mannered dog, or I could also be happy as the only dog, if I receive enough companionship, routine, and safe outdoor time. A securely fenced yard would be a nice bonus, but safety and supervision are important, especially during the adjustment period.Safety NoteI am very good at climbing and able to climb over kennel fencing. However, this does not mean I have a strong escape instinct. At the shelter, the exercise yard fence is about 2 meters high, and I have not shown a particular desire to escape over it. I do well in a crate and can settle there without issue. Being an observant and curious dog, I sometimes enjoy moving around and exploring on my own. Julie is generally manageable and has a stable temperament. I am quiet, clean, and not known to be destructive or overly noisy. I am also smart and she would benefit from a consistent routine, gentle guidance, and safe outdoor time.During the early adjustment period, before I form a strong bond with my adopter, it is recommend that I not be left loose in an unsecured outdoor area. Leash walks and careful supervision are recommended at first. Once I have built trust and attachment with my family, I may be able to enjoy time in a secure private yard. My adopter should still be mindful of gates, fences, doors, and outdoor spaces, especially in the beginning. Double leashing is strongly recommended during the adjustment period.Training & LifestyleCrate Training: GoodHouse Training: Outdoor potty trainedBarking: Rarely barksWith Dogs: GoodWith People: GoodLeash Skills: Basic leash guidance recommendedEnergy Level: MediumHealth notes: I have been spayed/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. 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.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.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.
