Available Jindo X: HwanHei
 
 
 

 

HwanHei is a Korean Jindo mix being fostered by Jin-Sohl Jindo Dog Rescue, which is located in Southern California. 

HwanHei is a young adult female.  Although she appears big in pictures, she is only 18 inches tall at the shoulders and weighs 36 lbs.  She is altered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated as well as housetrained.  Abandoned at the Ventura shelter when her family moved to the Philippines, HwanHei is now looking for a new home to call her own. 

This friendly young lady just want to cuddle with people, romp, play, give out kisses, and zoom around the yard. 
 


 


Not the slightest bit reserved, she loves meeting new people and going new places.  


Offering a big grin and a wag to the camera person.



HwanHei has a wonderful temperament and a very happy outlook on life.  She knows “sit” and looks to her owner for approval so we believe she would excel in an obedience class and benefit from formal training.  While her exuberance may make her overwhelming for youngsters under 5, HwanHei’s previous owners specifically noted she is good with children. 

HwanHei does not appear to have much experience or socialization with other dogs. She is somewhat submissive and unsure, so it might be possible for an experienced household to integrate her with a calm
canine companion. We believe HwanHei would also be very content if she did not have to share her new family.  As with most Jindos, HwanHei has a high prey drive and does not do well with cats.
 

HwanHei has been successfully running on her foster family’s urban sled dog team.  She is thriving on the exercise, and would enjoy an active household.



HwanHei loves to play with and fetch toys and so some of her energy can be directed in this way as well.

She is extremely light on her feet and loves to jump straight up in joy.  With further guidance in a motivated home, she may blossom into a great frisbee dog.  
 



 

This little girl is a character with personality plus and a great desire to find that perfect special person or family to call her own.  Her name “HwanHei” (or Hwanny) means joy, delight, or glee.
