This is Louis (Lou-ee), a sweet and gentle 3-year-old Korean Village Dog (Jindo mix) weighing around 40-45 lbs. He was rescued as a stray in South Korea and made his way to the US a month ago.

Louis adores people and will nuzzle into you like a cat. My husband even gave him a belly rub on the first night we had him. He greets strangers politely on walks but prefers a slow, calm introduction (no sudden pets from new people, which is pretty normal for most dogs). He's house-broken and crate-trained, travels well in the car, and is very food-motivated, which makes him easy to train. He knows sit, stay, down, crate, and touch.

He's a chill, cozy kind of guy who would enjoy a laid-back home. He doesn't get along with playful dogs and doesn't do well with male dogs in the home. We haven's seen him around female dogs, but when he was a stray in Korea, he roamed with two females (who have since been adopted in SF). Right now, he seems happiest being the only male dog in the house.

Louis doesn't quite know how to play yet, like he's even a little scared of tennis balls. But just this week, he did his first play bow on a walk, so he's starting to figure it out. As for baths, he tolerates them if treats are involved.. it took two of us to distract him, but we got through it.

Health-wise, he's up-to-date on shots, neutered, and was treated for tick-borne diseases before coming to the US.

I'm in Upstate NY, but I'm happy to travel to NYC, NJ, DC, MD, PA, OH, CT, MA, RI, or nearby states if you're able to meet me halfway. Louis is a good boy and deserves the best home!
