Description:
Update 4 Feb 2012:
Big Puppy had his first set of vaccinations today :) He was a little angel at the vet. He is waiting for someone special to give him a forever home!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
This gorgeous puppy was found by my students on the first day of snow. He and his 5 siblings had been born under the school benches and were only about 10 days old. The mom ran off and the students brought 2 puppies to me in the office (sadly, the others were all dead). They were both hypothermic so I rushed them to the vet who warmed them up and kept them overnight in an incubator. That was before Christmas.
Now, both boys are doing wonderfully! It was a battle bottle feeding the hungry little chaps every four hours and I was incredibly happy when they finally went on to solids. Big Puppy is so named because he always was the bigger and stronger of the 2 survivors. Currently he weighs 3.3kgs - a vast increase from the 400grams on that first day at the vet :) (He has been dewormed but not yet vaccinated.)
I am happy to announce that he is now, finally, ready for adoption!
Please contact me if you would like this handsome boy to be a part of your family.

Hi Showpeipay
His parents live at a restaurant next to my school (I'm 99.9% sure they're his parents) and they are both mixed-breed types. Both look to be about 6-7kg's - roughly the same size as a spaniel.

Big Puppy will be holidaying in Nonsan from the 10th of Feb with his awesome aunty while I am on holiday in South Africa. He is still up for adoption and you can still meet him while I'm away if you want.
If you are interested in adopting this cute little character, please complete the adoption application form which you can find here: http://www.animalrescuekorea.org/adoption-application and send it to me at the e-mail address listed above.

OMG! I love Big Puppy. Dogsitting has been so fun! He was scared of the outdoors and while trying to walk, would stay between my legs and jump on me to pick him up. Needless to say, it wasn't pleasant for me or him. I planned an intervention with his doggie housemate on vacation in Daejeon and we had a puppy playdate in the beautiful government park. Well Big Puppy was happy to see his friend and also very happy to see Bubbles, an asan shelter foster. They had a great time romping in the park and he has done SO much better now on our walks. He is a brave little fella :). and cute to boot. :) He is doing much better in the crate- they key is to be REALLY tired so i have my work cut out for me in the morning. It's so much easier now that he likes the outside! :) Because he is so young and has a small bladder, i come home every 2-3 hours to let him out and use his pee pads. It is working out well because i live very close to school. He loves to play and right now his favorite "toy" is a balled up piece of paper that we play fetch with. :) and he has fallen off from the mattress more times than i can count (don't worry- it's just the mattress on the floor... he falls about 3 inches!) and it cracks me up every time :) He is such a joy!

Myself and Bubbles met Big Puppy last weekend for a playdate and he is just SO adorable!! He is much smaller than I thought from the photos, and he is so playful and clumsy and cute! We hope you find an amazing forever home Big Puppy!! <3
