Dambee is a lovely red male Jindo and will weigh about 45 pounds when at his correct weight.  Our best guess places him at one year of age.  He was picked up as a stray by a local shelter and his owners never came to get him.  He had sores in numerous places on his head and neck, and those are healing nicely.  Dambee is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and crate trained.  He is typically picky about his bathroom habits and is housetrained. 

Dambee is very affectionate and a real lover.  He loves to snuggle and will gently climb into your lap to get closer if you encourage it.  He hasn’t yet met a person he didn’t like and enjoys attention in any form.  Belly rubs are a favorite of his.  He also enjoys running and playing in the backyard as well as lying out and relaxing in the sun.  Although he would enjoy a house with a backyard, he really wants to be in the house with his family.

Dambee loves his nightly walks and would enjoy a situation where he can take walks on a regular basis.  He has a wonderful solid temperament and a very happy outlook on life.  He has not had any formal obedience training and would benefit from the structured exposure an obedience class would give.  He has learned “sit” in his foster home and is working on learning other basic commands. 

Dambee wants nothing more than to have someone to play with and love him, and he shows his delight by wagging his tail a mile a minute.   He will make someone a fantastic and loving companion.  Being a true Jindo at heart, he forms tight bonds with those he is close to and showers them with kisses although his is also very out-going with strangers.  Dambee has a soft temperament and needs a home that will appreciate his gentle nature. 

Dambee has not yet been tested with cats, but all evidence suggests that he will display the strong prey drive typical of this hunting breed.  Dambe has become close friends with his foster buddy Mei Mei, and with a proper introduction he would be able to mesh with just about any other non-aggressive similar size dog.  While we will separate them for the right situation, we would love to see Dambee and Mei Mei go to a home together. 

  
 

In Korean, Dambee refers to the refreshing rain after a drought -- a very appropriate name for this little guy
