Dana, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi mix, gave birth at the Jeongeup shelter in South Korea. None of her puppies survived, leaving her alone there. She was rescued shortly before she was scheduled for euthanasia and is now enjoying the safety and comfort of foster care while she waits for a family of her own.

Dana has already lost a great deal. She has not lost her love for people.

Dana is calm, gentle, and thoroughly people-oriented. She prefers being near her family — joining them for walks, or simply relaxing at their side.

She is not interested in toys. Her favorite activity is spending time with people, receiving attention, and going for walks. She comes when called and is generally easy to redirect.

Her foster put it best: she is the kind of dog who really wants to be loved. Sit down and she will come over and lean against you.

Women
Well-behaved and quick to attach. She follows her foster mom around the house and frequently comes looking for affection. Her foster wrote that she settled in immediately — her temperament is that easy.
Men
She seems to prefer men, if anything. She is especially demonstrative with her foster dad, and extremely so with the household’s middle-school-aged son — actively soliciting attention and wanting to be held.
Children
Dana adores the middle-school-aged boy in her foster home and often seeks him out. She is friendly with gentle, respectful children generally, passing them calmly and wagging when they make a fuss over her. Based on her time in foster care, she could be a lovely family dog in a home with respectful children.

Dana lives peacefully with a 12-year-old Shih Tzu. She is generally neutral toward dogs she meets on walks — with both large and small dogs she may sniff briefly and then carry on. She does not appear especially interested in playing with other dogs; her foster described it as halfway between interest and indifference.

She can become jealous when another dog receives affection. If her foster family pets the resident dog, Dana comes straight over and makes a strong case for the attention being redirected to her. She has never bitten or shown aggression in these situations. She may also give a warning growl if another dog approaches while she is eating, and again has never escalated.

Dana would most likely be happiest as the only dog, so she can have her family to herself. A calm, non-demanding dog who coexists peacefully could also work — provided meals and high-value treats are given separately.

Dana is not recommended for a home with cats. When she sees a cat outdoors she may try to chase it. She can be redirected with the leash and will turn away as soon as her handler intervenes, but her interest in chasing makes a cat-free home the safest match.

House trainedYes — fully outdoor potty trained, with no accidents in the home. Her foster family reinforces the habit with frequent walks, taking her out up to five times a day. Keeping a frequent and predictable schedule through her transition will help her hold on to those excellent habits.
Alone timeTypically 3 to 4 hours at a time, and she does very well with it. No separation anxiety, no destructive behavior, no barking — her foster checked the camera and found her asleep for most of it.
BarkingVery quiet in the home. Her foster family has not observed nuisance barking or any other significant vocal behavior.
Destructive behaviorNone. She has not damaged household belongings.
Car ridesShe travels very calmly. On a drive of more than two hours from the shelter area to her foster home she sat quietly throughout, with no restlessness or excitement. An easy travel companion.
Favorite activitiesPeople, mostly. She has little interest in toys or stuffed animals — what she wants is to be near her person, leaning against them, and to go for walks. She likes matching her pace to yours, or trotting briskly ahead.
Crate trainingShe stays calm when placed in a crate but does not choose to go in on her own. A future family can keep building a positive association with treats and gradual training if they want to use one.
Grooming & handlingShe handles routine bathing and dental care without significant difficulty.

Dana absolutely loves her walks. She gets at least three a day — morning, afternoon, and evening — and her outdoor potty routine is built around them. Her foster currently takes her out up to five times daily.

She walks nicely on leash and would love a family who enjoys a regular daily walk. Her energy level is moderate: she is happy to keep going, and equally happy to come home and settle.

Dana is currently healthy and at a good weight. She previously had heartworm, completed treatment, and has since tested negative. She has no known allergies and no current health restrictions. She is spayed and vaccinated, and should continue veterinarian-approved flea, tick, heartworm, and internal parasite prevention every month throughout the year. Her last dose in Korea was Definite and Heartgard on July 4.

She is an enthusiastic eater and not remotely picky — she eats her meals readily and enjoys a wide variety of treats, with no known food allergies. She does not guard food from people. She may growl if another dog approaches her food, so in a multi-dog home meals and high-value treats should be given separately.

For gear sizing: neck approximately 40 cm (16 in), chest approximately 60 cm (24 in), back length approximately 50 cm (20 in).

Dana would thrive with a family that wants a loving companion and has plenty of time to spend with her. She loves attention, affection, and simply being near her people.

Her ideal family will provide regular daily walks, plenty of physical affection, a consistent outdoor potty schedule, and time together. She would be a particularly lovely match for someone who wants a dog who will happily walk with them, relax beside them at home, and lean against them whenever affection is on offer.

She would most likely be happiest as the only dog. Her foster was direct about it: because she wants to be the only one being fussed over, a multi-dog household is probably not the right fit — though a calm dog who does not compete for attention or bother her while she eats could work.

“She is full of affection. If you sit still she will come close and lean against you to rest. A family with plenty of time to spend together would suit her best — she wants so badly to be loved that she takes the initiative with people. A home that walks her regularly and has time to spare would be absolutely perfect for her.”
