A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown at about 17 lbs.
Aru is a 2 year old, 15lb terrier mix that was pulled from the Incheon shelter in South Korea. She’s got scruff for days and is just the most gentle little lady. Though she’s only just arrived in the big city, Aru is making leaps and bounds of progress. She’s settling in nicely and has begun asking for love by nudging or licking available hands. At home she’s very calm and chill, but with growing interest in toys and people who knows what the future holds for her. Aru is doing wonderfully with crate training and walks outside like a pro. She is occasionally startled by loud noises and moving things, but honestly who isn’t? More than anything in the world (for now) this girl loves a good belly rub or ear massage. You don’t have to wait for an adoption event. In-person meet-and-greets are available in the NYC area, with virtual meet-and-greets available for adopters outside NYC. Meet Us at Our Next Adoption Event Where: Spicy Moon Bowery - 265 Bowery, NY NY When: Sat, September 19th Time: 1-5pm Korean K9 Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit saving dogs from the Korean dog meat trade and overcrowded shelters.
🧠 Temperament
She’s got scruff for days and is just the most gentle little lady. Bold, curious and busy.
🎾 Exercise
Aru is doing wonderfully with crate training and walks outside like a pro. Moderate to high, and mental more than physical — 45-60 minutes plus digging, sniffing or puzzle outlets.
✂️ Grooming
Varies. Wiry coats need hand-stripping or clipping every few months; smooth coats need very little.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Though she’s only just arrived in the big city, Aru is making leaps and bounds of progress. Their small size suits apartments well.
