Can anyone recommend a good vet in the Dongducheon area, who can speak English? I work at Camp Casey.

Thank you for any suggestions! I am just beyond frustrated and worried trying to find good pet care up here.

Hi everyone - happy valentine's day.

I am a newcomer to ARK, having found it after a desperate web search. I live in San Francisco. My mother is temporarily in Korea to take care of an ill relative.

Saved from potential cancer... Cody came from KAPS, fostered by Sara and now adopted. At KAPS, his time was running out as he had lost a significant about of weight, caught a cold, and refused to eat.

My husband and I have been in Korea for 6 years and have had a cat, Saja, for the last 4. My husband is applying for teacher training courses and it's a logistical nightmare in terms of being back for interviews while still working.

Good Day :)

I don't know if this is the correct procedure to follow. So, please let me know if I should use a different route or forum.

Clare Mills is doing a fundraiser to sponsor a shelter animal for his/her health check. Here are the details in case you would like to help.

When:
Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 6:30pm until Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 9:30pm

I had adopted Dantes (Asan resident known as Mickey) back in 2009. He is such a bundle of joy and love I couldn't imagine my life without him.

I have a very friendly and social 2 yr old lab/ corgi/ and maybe daschund mix.
He's about 8-9 kilos.
I'm looking for a long term sitter until June that would allow me to visit say every couple weeks.
I'd cover food and expenses.

It's been one whole year (plus a week) since Abbey moved to Canada and joined our family!

~Fall/Winter 2011 campaign~

Yes, winter is here. Shelter animals are freezing again.

Do you have clothes and other unwanted stuff laying around your house that you don't need anymore? Maybe you don’t know what to do with them. Don’t worry; there is a solution.

Several ARK members, including myself, have been working on rescuing a chained dog from Seoul for the last two years. She has finally been taken in by a wonderful foster mom, and is doing well. We now have a family that would like to adopt her in the US.

There are two messages you might see instead of content on the site:

I'm going to freely admit that I didn't know much about cat coat patterns before working on the Adoptable Cats form.

Counters for the number of views and number of comments have now been added to the adoption listings. You can also see the number of "reads" on regular pages as well.

We can now post images, links, and videos into comments which will make sharing information about animals and shelters easier. But there are a couple big differences I need to point out between the previous ARK forums and this new site:

A new required field has just been added to the user registration form. The "Reason for joining" field used to exist on the forums registration page, but the data could not be brought over when we imported users from the old site to the new.

There is no Private Messaging feature on the site at the moment, but you can get in touch with other members via their "personal contact form", if they have that setting turned on.

Every registered member has a personal contact form on their profile.
