Cinnamon, a Pointer mix, has no recorded intake history, so we know very little about where she came from. What is documented is her time in foster care in South Korea — and how much she has changed in it. Her foster family did not simply house her: she ate with them, walked with them, trained, played in the yard, and came along on weekend outings.

Compared with the dog who first arrived, she shows her affection for people far more easily now, her expressions are much richer, and she takes new situations in stride. Above all, her foster says, she has become a dog who knows she is loved.

Cinnamon is gentle, affectionate, and moderately active. She may keep her distance in unfamiliar situations, but she warms up quickly when people stay patient, let her approach, and offer a few treats.

Cinnamon is affectionate, thoughtful, food-motivated, and socially aware. She enjoys spending time with people, exploring outdoors, and joining walks or outings, and she settles easily at home — she does not need constant activity or entertainment.

In unfamiliar situations she tends to hold back and watch from a distance. If nobody rushes her, she closes that distance herself, and a few treats dissolve her caution quickly. Once she has decided you are safe, she is openly affectionate and likes to stay close by.

She does not seem to mind a person’s age or gender. She has met visitors in their fifties and sixties without trouble, and passes elderly people calmly on walks.

Cinnamon generally does well with dogs both large and small. She reads canine signals well and gives space when another dog is not interested — she does not pester. She may become nervous if a small dog barks or reacts strongly toward her, and since she is considerably bigger than a small dog, first introductions with much smaller dogs should be supervised until both are comfortable.

In foster care she has lived with senior dogs — a 12-year-old Jindo mix and a 17-year-old Beagle — and regularly met visiting dogs without significant problems. She also shared the house with Maruchi, a 70-pound dog who did not care for other dogs; after he warned her off a few times, she simply kept a respectful distance from then on. The day before he passed away, when he was too weak to stand on his own, Cinnamon stood quietly beside him and held him up with her body.

She could live as an only dog or with compatible resident dogs. One note for a multi-dog home: she has recently become more interested in other dogs’ meals, so she should be fed separately until everyone has settled, and her person should stop her clearly and firmly if she approaches another dog’s bowl. No guarding toward people has ever been observed.

Cinnamon has shown little interest in cats and has never chased one or acted aggressively. During a training exercise a cat ate a treat off the floor directly in front of her and she simply watched, without trying to take it back. When a cat hisses she gives it space — a single hiss from a kitten is enough to make her tuck her tail. She may suit a home with a cat that is already experienced around dogs.

Her routine is two training walks a day of about 50 minutes each, plus yard time and a final bathroom break at night. Weekends often add a longer outdoor walk or a trip somewhere new, such as a dog park. She likes being included in what her people are doing, but her energy level is moderate rather than high — she does not need her whole day filled.

She walks with little pulling and usually passes other dogs calmly, and she loves having time to sniff and explore. On an unfamiliar route she may pause or hesitate; calm, confident guidance gets her moving again. Her recall is generally good in familiar settings — her foster built it up with her name and treats, and she comes in reliably when called from the yard — but it may be less dependable when she is frightened, highly excited, or somewhere new.

One practical note for her adopter: all of her cues were trained in Korean.

Cinnamon is reported healthy. No medical history was recorded for her, and no allergies have been identified. Her parasite prevention is Heartgard and Frontline on the 15th of each month, and it must continue every month throughout the year, including winter.

Hard bone treats should be avoided, as they can irritate her stomach. She eats Purina Pro Plan Adult Sensitive Skin and Stomach, Medium and Large Breed dry food, has a good appetite, and is not generally picky. She likes most treats and is especially fond of beef.

She is slightly underweight at 48.5 lbs (22 kg). For gear sizing: neck approximately 42 cm (16.5 in), chest approximately 70 cm (27.5 in). She is slim overall but deep-chested, so a harness should be sized by her 70 cm chest rather than her neck.

Cinnamon will do best with a patient, consistent family that gives her time to make sense of unfamiliar situations rather than pushing her through them. She enjoys a comfortable home routine, regular walks, and weekend activities such as hiking or outings — she is not looking for a household that needs to exhaust her every day, but she does want to be part of what her people are doing.

She could live as an only dog, with compatible dogs, or with a cat experienced around dogs. A multi-dog family should supervise meals and respect each dog’s signals and personal space. Her own signals are easy to read, and a family that respects them while still setting clear limits will suit her well.

She is not suited to a home that uses forceful handling, expects immediate confidence in every new situation, or plans to keep her outside without regular walks and family interaction.
