Ov

Ov is an approximately 3-year-old, spayed female weighing about 54 lbs. Rescued from the devastating Andong wildfire area in South Korea, Ov is, quite simply, an exceptionally gentle and easygoing soul. She is the kind of dog who makes daily life feel effortlessly joyful. Calm, deeply affectionate, and incredibly good-natured, she is equally thrilled to join you for a stroll or simply be your TV-watching companion. Ov is a total sweetheart who is extremely gentle, calm, and affectionate. She is quiet in the house, rarely barks, and loves relaxing on the couch. She is well-mannered, non-destructive, and incredibly easy to live with. She loves her people but is independent enough not to blindly shadow your every move. Ov is very responsive to her foster family, has shown zero play-mouthing or biting, and is a gentle presence in the home. She is friendly with all ages and genders, with absolutely zero stranger shyness. Ov naturally approaches people for affection and adores kids! She will even stop on walks just to watch children playing across the street. She is very interested in other dogs and gets along best with similar or slightly smaller playmates. Ov is extremely calm indoors with no barking or separation anxiety observed. She has experience being left alone for an 8-hour workday and simply rests quietly the entire time. She is comfortable free-roaming but will voluntarily enter her crate, using it as a safe, cozy resting space at night. Ov is fully potty trained and highly reliable outdoors if taken out on a consistent schedule. She clearly signals when she needs to go by whining and circling. She enjoys outdoor time and hiking. She currently loves a 30-minute morning walk and a 40-minute evening walk. She has lower stamina right now and may decide she's ready to head home after moderate activity. She pulls strongly at the beginning of walks but settles nicely after about 20 minutes. She can also get excited and pull when she spots other dogs. Ov rides well in the car overall, though she may pant or drool mildly before settling down. She tolerates baths and handling beautifully with zero aggression, even if the tub isn't her favorite place to be. Ov recently underwent a necessary dental procedure involving multiple extractions. Her Korean vet suspects that someone previously, and intentionally, cut her teeth—exposing the internal tissue and causing her pain. Removing these damaged teeth was absolutely necessary to provide her relief. The fact that she remains so deeply trusting, loving, and gentle after experiencing human cruelty is a true testament to her beautiful, forgiving soul. Her molars remain fully intact, meaning she can comfortably eat regular kibble and enjoy soft toys without any issues. While her smile might look a little sparse up front, she is completely healed, pain-free, and her daily quality of life is completely unaffected!

Ideal Home

Ov needs a loving family committed to daily walks and a gradual weight management routine. Adopters must be comfortable handling a strong, 54-lb dog on a leash, especially at the start of walks. Someone who can provide calm, structured guidance around other dogs is also important.

Ongoing Health

Training & Support

Ov is fully potty trained and is a great communicator when she needs to go out. She pulls strongly at the beginning of walks and can get excited when she spots other dogs, so calm, structured introductions are recommended. A hands-free leash with a sturdy carabiner is strongly recommended to help manage her initial excitement on walks.
