Hi… my name is Gaon 🐕
I’m a 4-year-old male Shiba × Jindo mix, and I weigh about 18kg.
I was once placed on a shelter’s euthanasia list.
Even after I was rescued, no one came for me for a very long time. The shelter became the only home I knew—far longer than any dog should have to endure.
When people approach me, I don’t rush forward with excitement.
Instead, I watch carefully.
I’m afraid you might leave.
Afraid I might be alone again.
So I open my heart slowly, cautiously.
But behind that hesitation is a heart that longs deeply to love a person.
I simply never learned how to show it. I went so long without being chosen, without being loved, that I don’t always know how to ask for affection.
That’s why I struggle when attention is shared with other dogs.
It’s not jealousy—it’s more like a quiet plea:
“Please don’t leave me this time.”
That’s why I’m hoping for an only-dog home, where I can finally feel secure.
When it’s just you and me, I’m a completely different dog.
I’ll meet your eyes, lean gently against you, and offer shy little gestures of affection. Once I give my heart, I give it fully—
with the deep, unwavering loyalty that Jindo dogs are known for.
Home life may feel unfamiliar to me at first.
I’ll need time, patience, and understanding.
But if you’re willing to walk that slow beginning with me, I promise you this:
I will become a dog who makes one person my whole world.
A once-in-a-lifetime companion who loves quietly, deeply, and forever.
Somewhere in a shelter, I’m still waiting—
waiting for the one person who will call my name
and mean it for life.
