Welcome To Treasured k9s, Inc. 501(c)(3)

My Jindo's feral nature and wolf-like behavior is one of the things I love best about him.  The nature of the beast is so pure and whole--nothing has been bred out of him.  He is quietly respectful and obedient, yet he thinks for himself in ways that I never realized a dog could.  When I get to see him run, next to me and my horse in the woods, I feel this longing to be a part of a past civilization whose natural order guided every decision made.  He scales sheer cliffs, takes chances running straight down them, balances on logs, nose to the ground, and all the while, knows exactly where my horse and I are, whether in front of or behind him.  He owns the land he travels on when he is free to do as he wishes--and nothing pleases me more than to witness his primitive nature. This is one time I feel truly content and the world somehow makes sense to me.

*Note: We do not recommend allowing a Jindo off leash in urban and suburban environments. Even in remote locations, a Jindo's prey drive may take over and the Jindo may run off never to be seen again.

Adopted! Maya

Meet Maya, the newest Treasured k9s foster! Maya is a 2 year old female Korean Jindo located in Arizona. Maya is all white spayed, with brown eyes. She walks great on a leash, knows basic commands and is fast learner. She is also house-trained and crate-trained. Maya is good with other dogs, but does not like to live in a large pack. She would do best with one other large-breed non-dominant dog and would be fine as an only dog. She has a strong prey drive, so should not be in a home with small dogs or cats. She is a calm dog, but has a mind of her own. Maya loves to be with her people and is an excellent companion dog. She’d love to be adopted by someone who is home a lot.

If you are interested in adopting Maya, please submit an adoption application.



ADOPTED! Kuji
Minimize

Kuji is a 1.5 Yr Old Female Korean Jindo surrendered to a Maryland animal shelter by her owner simply because he didn’t want her anymore. Kuji is a shelter favorite and is receiving lots of extra special attention and thanks the staff with plenty of kisses. Kuji loves to give kisses! Kuji is a very sweet, polite girl who is a true move-in-ready dog. Kuji walks well on a leash, is perfectly housetrained, is crate trained, is learning basic obedience commands and appears to be good with other dogs. Kuji absolutely loves her dog bed and as a typical Jindo will most likely prefer her own bed to the human furniture. Kuji is a quite girl and does not bark, but this is typical of the breed. A Jindo will only bark when there is a reason. Treasured k9s is assisting the shelter by cross posting and pre-screening applicants since Jindos are a rare breed and require a very special and dedicated owner. Kuji would do best as an only dog and with older children. Kuji is a very special girl and needs to get into a home of her own where she can bond to her new owners. Jindos are a rare breed from Korea and researching the breed is highly recommended. Experience with Akitas, Shiba Inus, Sharpei, Chows, Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes, Samoyeds, American Eskimos and a similar Spitz breed is preferred.
Knowledge of the Nothing in Life is Free theory and/or Cesar Millan’s methods are essential for a successful adoption. If you are interested in learning more about Kuji, please visit submit an adoption application.
