Rescue story

WEACT received a report about a mother dog who was suffering from severe, untreated skin injuries, scavenging through trash cans to feed her puppies. The team rushed to the site, but by the time they arrived, the mother dog had already disappeared. Only the puppies had been taken to a city shelter. The puppies were safely brought into WEACT’s care, but we could not give up on the mother dog and her other daughter, who was still wandering the streets. Because they had lived outdoors for a long time, they were extremely wary of people, and the rescue took many attempts and a great deal of patience.

After continued effort, the mother dog was finally rescued, and soon after, her pregnant daughter was also brought to safety. We gave her a new name — Yewon — and now we hope to help her begin a new and happier chapter in life.

Personality

Yewon has a calm and gentle nature, and she adjusts to new places at her own pace. Sudden sounds or unexpected touch can startle her, but when you approach her gently and move at her pace, she relaxes and comes closer with a soft, friendly attitude.

With humans

Yewon likes to take her time when meeting new people and will quietly observe them at first. She may seem a little shy in the beginning, but once she feels comfortable, she opens up and shows her happiness in a gentle, sweet way.

With dogs

Yewon has spent a lot of time living with other dogs, so she is comfortable around them and gets along well with a variety of friends.

Energy level

Please provide at least two walks a day so Yewon can use and release her energy in a healthy way.

Needs help with

Yewon is smart and learns quickly, and she has been responding well to training so far. She still needs a bit more time to get used to the outdoors, so please help her adjust gradually by letting her experience new sights and smells calmly during walks.

Health specifics

Yewon has some allergies, so her diet needs to be managed carefully. She also gets carsick, so please keep a close eye on how she’s feeling before and after car travel.

Ideal family

Yewon will do well with a family who can respect her pace and spend time with her patiently. She is still learning and adjusting to new environments, so it would be best for her to experience new things slowly and in a way that feels safe and comfortable. If there is another dog in the home, Yewon is likely to get along well, as she enjoys being around gentle and friendly dogs. She can also do well as the only dog, as long as she receives calm companionship and plenty of warm affection.

We hope Yewon meets a family who will move at her pace with kindness; someone who will share quiet moments, steady support, and a loving life together with this gentle, soft-hearted girl.
