Coming to the United States as an "immigrant" /rescue dog myself in 2017, I deeply understand  the challenges in the international community, the painful process of loss and separation from your families, and difficulties to fit in. I found my strengths to recover through the human-canine bond. I'm inspired by my therapist mama and want to be a part of her therapy practice.

​

Dog therapy builds on the pre-existing human-canine bond. Interacting with a friendly dog like me can help many physical and mental issues. It can help reduce blood pressure and improve overall cardiovascular health. It can also release endorphins that produce a calming effect. This can help alleviate pain, reduce stress, and improve your overall psychological state.

More about me

​

I was born in South Korea on a meat farm. I was lucky to be rescued right before I became an "edible" mature dog. An animal rescue agency in South Korea cared for me for 6 months until I recover from previous injuries and I took a super-long haul  flight to the US. I found my FURever home the day after I arrived in the US!!!

 

I was socially awkward with other dogs before but I have been successfully desensitizing from my social anxiety with dogs. Dog parks are my favorite places now. 

​

I'm still afraid of metal surface and noises due to past traumas.  I've been working on grounding skills and gradual desensitization plans with Huilin since she adopted me. I hate the process of walking across the metal bridge, but I really enjoy the treats after each successful attempt.
