Rescue story

WEACT rushed to the site after receiving shocking reports of a dog struggling just to take a step, burdened by a tumor as large as a rock. The massive tumor dragged along the dirt every time the dog moved, causing open wounds and making even basic activities, like relieving itself, extremely difficult. But that wasn’t all. Hidden deep in the backyard, beneath the shade of trees where sunlight barely reached, there was a wooden box. Inside, terrified puppies only about six months old were huddled together, trembling in fear and surrounded by their own waste. Sandeul was one of those puppies. WEACT was able to rescue all eight dogs from the site, including Sandeul, an adult dog with a bowling ball sized tumor, and several other dogs who had been chained around the yard.

Personality

Sandeul spent his puppyhood locked inside a dark wooden box, barely seeing any light. Because of this, humans are still unfamiliar and sometimes frightening to him. However, he plays well with other dogs and observes the world with curious eyes. With his puppy spirit, he is slowly overcoming his fears one day at a time. He is especially adorable when he is fully focused on chewing his teething toys.

With humans

Sandeul can be shy and timid when people approach. He can be touched but may avoid contact, especially around his face. It is recommended to move at Sandeul’s pace and gradually expand the areas of touch to help him feel safe and build trust.

With dogs

Sandeul has lots of energy and can be very enthusiastic when meeting new dogs. Thus, other dogs may find his energy a bit too overwhelming at first. However, he knows how to take a step back when another dog isn’t interested in playing and is able to respect their space on his own.

Energy level

As a puppy, Sandeul has a lot of energy. It is important to take him out on walks at least twice a day to help him adapt to the outside world and gradually become desensitized to new environments.

Needs help with

Sandeul is currently practicing leash walks. With familiar people, he is able to walk outdoors comfortably. While he doesn’t always enjoy leash tension, he is able to tolerate it and follows gently. He prefers outdoor potty, so continued support with indoor potty training may be needed.

Health specifics

Sandeul is growing up healthy.

Ideal family

Sandeul would thrive in a home that can offer a variety of activities to help him release his abundant energy. If there is a people-friendly dog at home, he can be a wonderful role model and help Sandeul adjust more easily. Just like his name, Sandeul, which means a gentle breeze in the air, we picture him as a beloved family member on a warm spring day. We are waiting for the family who will become Sandeul’s spring.
