Dalkong is a 1-year-old Jindo Mix weighing 23.1 lbs. Quiet and gentle, Dalkong is a sweet boy who takes his time opening up — but underneath that shy exterior is a calm, devoted soul just waiting for the right person to bring him out of his shell. He can't wait to find his forever home in NYC!

Mixed / Unknown breed

This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.

🧠 Temperament

Quiet and gentle, Dalkong is a sweet boy who takes his time opening up — but underneath that shy exterior is a calm, devoted soul just waiting for…. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.

🎾 Exercise

Most adult dogs do well with 30-60 minutes of walking a day plus play and sniffing time.

✂️ Grooming

Brush regularly, bathe as needed, keep nails trimmed and ears clean.

🏙️ In a NYC apartment

Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.

More from Korean K9 Rescue

Foster-to-adopt. This dog is still in South Korea. Rather than meeting first, you take them home for a 7-day trial: pickup is at Korean K9's Astoria office the day their flight lands, and if it isn't a fit they ask you to keep fostering for about three weeks while they find a permanent home. Applications close 48 hours before each arrival date.
