I have an urgent foster situation at the moment.
For those of you that don't know, we brought back 4 little puppies from Daejeon on Saturday (the govt/council shelter, not the shelter that Mrs Jung runs which is closing down).
Unfortunately when we got them to Seoul so my vet could check them out, they have tested positive for parvo. Parvo is a dog-specific virus (it is not contagious or a risk for humans and it is different to cat parvo). Three of the four pups have been treated and are fine already after 4 days of treatment, so they need to leave my vet either tomorrow or Friday (where they are not happy). The fourth one isn't doing so well but we have our fingers crossed for her.
Pictures of the pups are at the below link. I need someone to foster these pups for 3 weeks and it needs to be someone who doesn't have any other dogs. This is just to be sure that there is no possibility of passing the parvo to another dog. Any dog that has had its immunisations should not be able to contract parvo, however my two dogs (who have been immunised) were tested by my vet and their antibodies are slightly low so he has recommended booster injections, but they cannot be with the puppies until the boosters have had time to work (couple of weeks).

DO any of you know anyone who would be willing to look after them for 3 weeks? It wouldn't be any longer than this & I can bring them to the fosterer if required
.
Some more information on parvo at the below links, for your reference:

Please let me know.
Thanks a lot
