Critter Details

Hi, I’m Button Here is a little info about me:Breed: Jindo / Spitz MixAge: 2.5 yearsGender: Male    Weight: 17.5 lbHighlight(s): Good with other dogs, friendly to humans, very gentle to kidsMy life didn’t start the way every dog deserves. Until February 2026, my brother and I were kept in captivity for veterinary experiments. Thankfully, we were rescued, and now I’m finally learning what it means to feel safe, loved, and part of a family.I’m a very gentle and friendly boy. I can be a little shy when meeting new people, but if you approach me kindly (bonus points for treats!), I warm up quickly. Once I trust you, I’ll happily roll over and show you my belly. I’m also okay with being picked up and handled gently. I’ve been very sweet with kids too, though I don’t have video proof of that yet.I get along well with other dogs and enjoy calmly sharing space with them. I’m not usually the type to jump into play right away with new dogs, but I’m polite and peaceful at dog daycare. I tend to feel more comfortable around dogs closer to my size and calmer energy levels. My very best friend is my brother I haven’t met any cats yet, so that’s still a mystery. My energy level is moderate — I enjoy outdoor adventures and walks, but I’m also very happy to relax quietly at home afterward.On walks, I can pull on the leash a little sometimes, but I generally follow my handler well and I’ve never shown aggression. I don’t guard food from people, though I may growl if another dog approaches while I’m eating. I also haven’t shown signs of separation anxiety.Sometimes I bark when I want something or when visitors arrive, just to let everyone know what’s going on. I’m about 90% housetrained and improving every day. I also don’t have an escape tendency.More than anything, I’m looking for a patient and loving family who will continue showing me the gentle life I’ve only recently discovered. I may have had a difficult beginning, but I’m ready for a bright future full of cuddles, walks, and belonging.Love,Button Energy Level: Moderate – Enjoys outdoor activities and like to rest/calm at home after walksI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unsureKids: yesFears: Unknown/none observed.

Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in – at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
