Jumong ::ADOPTED::
While his life didn’t start out on a positive note, Jumong has overcome so much! In March he and his siblings were found in a creek as tiny puppies. After arriving to the Asan City Shelter they all became sick and one of the puppies didn’t survive. Jumong is now healthy and thriving! He spent his early months at a foster home in South Korea (with a young child) and is now getting loved on at a foster home in Portland, Oregon! Jumong’s brother, Somoon, recently came through our rescue and has found a forever home!

A few of our favorite Jumong things…
Jumong is a very easy going pup! He is always excited to play or go for walks, but if his foster family is busy he will take a nap or happily sit on the deck to observe the world outside. While he’s definitely not a “carry around/lap” dog he loves to remain close for light snuggles and is very affectionate + eager for belly rubs!
Jumong is great with other dogs, does well with basic training and recall, loves to go hiking, and is wonderful traveling in the car! He also has the sweetest little smile, silly long legs, and the most precious black whiskers. We call him pretzel, string-bean, angel boy.
A few things Jumong is working on…
Like any puppy, Jumong still has a ways to go with his training & behavior! Potty training took about one week and he’s just now starting to show cues for when he needs to go outside. Once adopted, he’ll need a consistent routine to keep accidents from happening.
Jumong is very, very food motivated. That can be a great tool for training, but also requires a lot of supervision because he tends to hoover up anything in sight.
Crate training along with slow, positive introductions are great tools that we recommend continuing to help Jumong become more independent and less fearful. Noise startles him and he prefers to stay right next to his people at all times. He would do well in a home with a confident dog or rambunctious kids that can show him that the world isn’t so scary.
