Rover

“While Rover’s features are mostly Jindo, he has a pretty black stripe running down his tail which may mean he has some shepherd in him. Rover has clearly been through a lot, as he is quite fearful of humans and seemed to be pretty interested in making attempts to bolt off into the mountains. He was cautious around other dogs as well. When walking Rover, we doubled up his leash so that he could walk with us while keeping a distance that was comfortable to him. We took it slow on our walk and just let Rover be Rover, sniffing and standing and sitting and munching grass as he chose. With gentle coaxing, he was happy to follow us in the direction we led him. We had to watch our movements carefully, as he was quite startled by any sudden movements we made. Rover was content simply sitting in the shade with us at a moderate distance and enjoying the breeze. My heart goes out to this good boy, as it is obvious that all he needs is a permanent companion whom he can learn to trust and be comfortable with. Rover making progress really comes down to having a home and a human - let’s get him what he needs to shed his fear and learn to love again”
