Say hello to Peanut!
Peanut is a ~25 lbs, 6 year old Corgi and currently resides in South Korea. He lives with his foster and was rescued March 2022 from an illegal breeder.
Unfortunately, Peanut's start in life is not a good one. He was kept in poor conditions by an illegal breeder. Because of this, he is missing most of his teeth and only has three left. He also has cosmetic injuries on his left ear and right front paw (missing one toe). We are unsure of how these injuries occurred, but they are only cosmetic. He cannot chew hard kibble, so we currently feed him wet food. And we know how his pictures look- let's be honest, Peanut looks old! After multiple trips to the vet to confirm his age, we can definitely say that Peanut is only six!
Despite this rough start, Peanut is an incredibly sweet and gentle Corgi. He loves people and is relatively quiet. He does tend to avoid other dogs rather than socialize. Peanut does not have an aggressive bone in his body! Peanut loves going on walks and eating. He is house-trained and walks well on a leash.
We are looking for Peanut's forever home that will provide him a loving, comfortable life.
We do not recommend dogs to be left alone for over 4 hours and strongly recommend that all of our adopters look into a doggy daycare if they will be away for more than 4 hours.
Please keep in mind that we are unable to consider applicants that are not within a 45 minute driving distance from Springfield, Virginia at this time.
Adoption fee $675.
*Peanut is currently at a foster home in Korea. We transport our dogs after an adopter has been secured, so unfortunately, we do not provide meet and greets. Instead, we do our best to provide as much description, pictures and videos as possible.
*** We typically do not adopt to homes with children under 8 years old. A home check is mandatory before adoption. We adopt to residents of Northern VA and Washington DC suburbs only. Applicants must be at least 25 years old. Has a social media account for us to monitor pets after adoption; (Please note, we monitor all pets after adoption);
We ask you to submit a copy of identification via secured app and/or we screen check once your adoption application is approved. ***
If you would like to adopt the pet, please fill out our online application at https://sites.google.com/view/donghaepaws/. An HDP volunteer will reach out for more information after a careful review of your application. Please understand this may take a few days. Thank you!
Prior to rescue, many of our dogs have experienced minimal socialization and it takes time for them to learn about life as a family pet. Common skills such as house training and leash walking may often take a little extra time. Patience, understanding and a gentle hand are a must. The great news is, most of these dogs come around rather quickly and being a part of their rehabilitation is an extremely rewarding experience.
