About Ian Jum

Ian Jum is a small dog with a big personality and even bigger heart. At just 1.5 years old and marked by striking black and white fur, Ian’s spirit has stayed bright despite an early hip injury that’s now fully healed. He charges through life with joyful energy, always eager for playtime with his toys and more than happy to soak up attention. Expect him to seek out cuddles when his excitement winds down. He thrives around other dogs and will fit right into a home with canine buddies. His love of food comes with a bonus—he’ll do anything for a treat, eats from a slow feeder bowl, and never turns his nose up at kibble. Ian needs a simple, steady care routine due to Diabetes Insipidus, a manageable condition involving daily oral medication (not shots or injections). This affects how his body handles water, so he’ll need regular potty breaks, but with his meds, he does very well. Ian is house trained, neutered, up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and microchipped. There’s something especially rewarding about caring for this playful, resilient, affectionate companion—he’ll give it back in spades. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
