Cinnamoroll
Adopt Cinna
Girl • 7 years old • Taurus • Black • 16kg • Mixed Breed
My story
Cinna joined PACK Academy in September 2025. Having previously grown up in a home, it is suspected that she was abandoned due to improper care. When she arrived at the Neihu Animal Shelter, she was found to be malnourished and extremely thin. Despite this, Cinna has a gentle and shy personality, acting like a polite little maid at all times. During her evaluation by PACK staff, she was incredibly well-behaved and cooperative, proactively sitting down and humbly raising her paw to shake hands. This lovely and high-quality dog is now longing for a patient and loving forever home!
Personality
Our Cinna is also a "Cinnamoroll" with big, floppy ears. Although she is black, she shares the same sweet, quiet personality as the Sanrio character—she is well-behaved, calm, and loves being around people. Once she feels comfortable, she will even rest her head on your lap to cuddle. Cinna is naturally introverted and cautious; she is sensitive to environmental noises and may sometimes freeze on the street when overwhelmed. In these moments, a gentle pat on the head from her owner provides the security she needs. She loves soft whispers and gentle strokes. While she isn't assertive about expressing her needs, she becomes very happy when someone notices them. Due to her past negative experiences, Cinna is best suited for a home that uses positive reinforcement and maintains a calm emotional atmosphere. Once she fully settles in, you will have an incredibly sweet and adorable companion!
1
Energy Levels
Moderate energy. She enjoys slow walks on quiet streets. Once she becomes familiar with the people and dogs at the pet park, she will happily run around and play.
2
Temperament
Gentle and introverted, humble and friendly, but lacks a sense of security and tends to get nervous easily.
3
Role
Cinna is hesitant to express her needs directly. Usually, she will sit beside someone and raise her paw to signal that she wants something. If the person is focused on other things, she will wait patiently for them to notice her. She has a very deferential and pleasing attitude.
4
Adaptability
She needs some time to adapt to new environments. Sudden movements or high-intensity emotions can cause her stress. She may have accidents indoors when first arriving at a new place, but this will improve once she adjusts.
Foster Family Says
When she first arrived, she had accidents around the house (and interestingly didn't go when taken to the park). She is a dog who deeply needs security, but she is very cooperative to care for. The only challenge is that she can be difficult to manage during outings due to her nervousness.
Medical History
My health has been checked:
- Spayed/Neutered
- Microchipped
- Vaccinated
- Regular Worming Treatment
No specific medical issues.
My Behavior
1
Tolerance Levels
At PACK Academy, we socialize our dogs by exposing them to different stimuli and recording their tolerance levels for each one. These oservations help us understand the dogs better, which then helps us find suitable homes for them.
Strangers
She is fearful of strangers at first. If the person squats down and lets Cinna sniff their hand, she will allow head pets and interaction.
Dogs
Friendly towards strange dogs and willing to make new friends.
Cats
Has not encountered cats yet.
Kids
As long as children are gentle and move slowly, Cinna will allow them to pet her head after sniffing their hands.
Noise
Very sensitive to sound and reacts to various noises. However, she doesn't overreact with extreme panic; she usually just freezes in place.
Touch
No sensitive spots; she enjoys physical contact all over.

Destructive Chewing
