Rescue story
In December 2019, the #SiheungDogFarm entered the spotlight as the story of Yumi emerged—a dog that miraculously escaped with extensive burns covering its entire body. Another animal welfare organization initially launched a rescue operation, but on Christmas Day, the owner transferred all the animals to a different dog farm. Although their whereabouts remained elusive, persistent efforts eventually convinced the farm owner to surrender them. However, the time spent in slaughterhouses had inflicted profound trauma on these dogs. Taking charge of the situation, WEACT and volunteers provided ceaseless day and night care, leading to the successful rescue of 65 animals from the #SiheungDogFarm. Due to their profound trauma and injuries inflicted by humans, it necessitated an extended period of time and heightened effort to rehabilitate them. Even four years down the line, WEACT remains steadfast in its mission to facilitate the adoption of dogs from #SiheungDogFarm. #weact_jack was one of the rescues from this very location.


Personality
Despite enduring a challenging environment, Jack has always concealed a warm heart beneath his fluffy coat. We were concerned about his ability to form positive human relationships again, but Jack has blossomed into a cheerful and delightful dog. Nowadays, Jack's heart seems to remain open to people, except when faced with those who make sudden movements and approaches. He particularly enjoys delicious food and treats. While he cherishes and loves the dog friends he shares his daily life with, he may need a bit of refinement in his manners when interacting with them.


With humans
Jack is friendly to anyone familiar. Although it doesn't seem like he distinguishes between genders, he seems to prefer women a little more. If someone he trusts calls his name, he comes over and sits down, even lying down to relax. He also accepts touch even from strangers. However, sudden approaches startle him, so please approach him slowly and gently.


With dogs
Jack's behavior varies depending on the build, age, gender, and disposition of his friends. He gets along well with friends of similar size but tends to be more assertive with those who appear smaller or have a gentler temperament. Occasionally, he may engage in marking behavior to impress female friends. When playing with other dogs, it's important to observe and intervene appropriately to ensure everyone's safety.


With cats
Jack has never lived with a cat, but given his temperament, he may get excited upon encountering them.


Energy level
Jack excels at leash walking and has been a model student at The Home. When called in a fenced and secure area, he promptly comes over and sits down, making outdoor interactions with him enjoyable. He has an average activity level and is outdoor potty-trained, requiring at least two daily walks.


Shedding/Barking
Jack sheds and may bark in response to the noise of large vehicles and motorcycles or when observing other friends from inside his kennel. However, he stops barking when someone intervenes.


Needs help with
Jack is fearful of vehicle noises and various city sounds, so continuous desensitization training is necessary to help him feel comfortable during walks. Additionally, he tends to be wary of male strangers, so it's crucial to overcome this fear by creating positive memories.


Health specifics
Jack is generally healthy. He experienced a temporary decrease in platelet count, received two weeks of treatment, and has fully recovered.


Ideal family
Once Jack becomes familiar with his surroundings, he opens up to show the love he has hidden. A patient family that can approach him slowly and carefully without startling him is necessary. Jack is outdoor potty-trained, requiring at least two trips outside each day. He rests comfortably in his kennel, so using it initially after moving into his new home can help him adapt. Having similarly-sized resident dogs will be compatible with him, but not with small or timid ones. Jack expresses his fear of urban noises, such as passing cars and motorcycles, by barking, so please take this into consideration.
